I treated my wife to a head spa on Mother's day and then my brother treated me to one for my birthday. Reservations can be made online and easy to navigate. There is parking on the street on the curb in front of the storefront. It is only a couple of bucks. My first experience with a head spa was in Japan. The experiences were very similar. You are given a silk kimono to wear. After sitting down, you get a full visual of your hair and scalp. Whoever is helping you that day will give you a breakdown of what was seen and what will be done to treat your hair/scalp. The massage and washing of your head/hair is very therapeutic and relaxing. After your session, you revisit your hair/scalp and you can see the changes from a 60 minute treatment. You are also given a cup of yummy tea and a snack if you'd like. Overall, my experience was great. They make an emphasis on feeling relaxed and rejuvenated and i definitely felt that way after. I will definitely be back and recommend it. read more

I came to Head Spa EN with a long-awaited gift card from my husband, who had raved about this place, and had an appointment in the books for midday on a weekend. I've had a Japanese head massage/scalp eval at a different location (different folks completely), and loved it, so I had very high expectations here. All in all - this 60 min experience was a glorified hair wash. Maaaaybe about 20 min in the middle was a really wonderful scalp massage, but it was pretty much just A TON of rinsing out my hair. Back and forth, a shampoo, steaming, rinse with this and that, then rinse rinse rinse rinse. The massage was so nice - and brief in the scheme of things - and then more shampoo (or treatment or something) and rinse rinse rinse. Then rinse rinse rinse rinse with a different technique. My hair is long, not absurdly long, and on the thicker side; I don't know if this was too much? A small thing that also would've been nice is being told what each item or step was; there was an awkward several minute pause in which my hair was "steaming" and I wasn't sure why nothing was going on and had to ask. I had told my masseuse specifically as well that I had a neck spasm, asking if she would work on my neck at all; wasn't sure if that was part of the scalp massage. She said yes and I got a few pats on the traps during the massage. What bothered me the most though, was the somewhat rapid jerking of my head off the bowl for different elements of the shampooing and rinsing - this did NOT help my neck. All in all - on their website on the front page it says "About our spa: deep scalp & neck myofascial release". I just don't feel like this accurately reflects what went on in 60-70% of my hour-long massage, which was, again, a fairly well-marketed hair wash/rinse. With that description - and price ($160 for an hour) - I want a head, scalp, and neck massage, not a hair wash. The studio is very clean and well-kept, with pleasant decor and music. read more

I got a gift card for my birthday and came here. Ken was amazing!!! He checked my scalp before starting which I really appreciated. He was super friendly and very skilled. I felt all my recently's stress disappear. They served tea after the treatment! I really love this place. I'll definitely be coming back read more

Ken was so friendly, nice and helpful. If you can, request him! This was my first scalp evaluation, massage and wash. I didn't know what to expect. I received the one hour scalp massage and shampoo as part of a birthday gift. When you get there, you change into a silk kimono which was very nice. The whole experience was relaxing. I was relieved to learn that my scalp was healthy. My only small complaint is that you end with wet hair. I get a head cold when my hair is wet. There is a hair dryer in the bathroom that you can use to dry your own hair. The experience also ends with hot tea and a sweet cookie. I loved that! There is street metered parking and a parking garage nearby. This location is near Old Town Pasadena. Overall, a treat! read more

I had a signature service today. My friend who went had a wonderful experience. I didn't. The angle of the chair and the bowl that I laid my head on gave me a headache. We switched chairs and my person didn't know what to do to help me feel better. I would have cancelled on the spot but this place requires prepayment. I was cold sweating and left with a migraine and a really tight neck. The person who helped me didn't do anything other than apologize. I appreciate the apology and would have liked problem solving. In summary, I paid 200 dollars to get a migraine. Also a tip: do your research on your technician. My friend had a great service and was offered tea/snack at the end. I didn't receive that. She heard what the service entailed. I was just asked to sit in a chair and lie down. She has a bolster for behind her knees. I didn't. ...etc I think you could spend your hard earned dollars elsewhere. For me, this has very very low low CP value. Expensive. Painful. And there wasn't anyone to call to help solve a problem. Not worth it at all. By the way, I don't think the business does responsive customer service. This is what I gathered from the person who performed my service. So. Let's see. Just. In this economy. I .... I would go elsewhere. read more

This is an authentic Japanese scalp massage place. I go here not just to relax but to help with the autoimmune balance. The shiatsu aspect of it helps a lot with my health. Before the treatment, when I press on top of my head, I would feel a dull pain and my head when carefully touched, feels asymmetrical. After the treatment, the swollen scalp is gone, no pain, and the good scalp condition continues for several weeks. It's different from non-Japanese places that use just machines. It's not just cleaning the scalp but the use of hands to do shiatsu that really differentiates this place. Ms. Emi is fantastic. I highly recommend her. read more

I had an amazing head spa experience with Rose, and I can't recommend it enough. I received the 60 minute Gentle Head Massage Increase Blood Flow and Relax Your Mind and Body session ($160), and from start to finish, it felt incredibly thoughtful and personalized. Rose was very attentive and truly tuned in to my needs, making the entire experience feel warm and comforting. The head massage itself was perfectly firm and deeply relaxing. By the end of the session, my head and neck felt noticeably lighter, and I experienced a deep sense of relaxation from the inside out. The time flew by, and the session ended before I knew it. This was the kind of self care that reminds you how important it is to slow down and recharge. If you're looking for a luxurious and truly restorative experience, this is absolutely worth it. I'm already looking forward to my next visit. read more

Yoko was so kind and sweet from beginning to end. My scalp has never belt better. I wish that when I go to the hair salon they treat me this way every time. I came into my session not feeling my best, but Yoko's hands and their techniques really made me feel better. Everything is decorated with phenomenal Japanese detail. And everything is very clean! I can't wait to come back. read more

What a wonderful experience! Rose is simply the best Great service and attention to detail. Will return !!!

This place is a great find! Kensuke is fantastic--he creates a welcoming and relaxing experience from start to finish. This was my second visit, and I already know I'll be back again. The service is excellent, and the attention to detail really stands out!! My only wish is that they offered packages for those who want to come regularly. If you're looking for a quality head spa experience, I highly recommend Kensuke and this spot! read more

Amazing service by Rose Lee! I am definitely coming back just to see her! Her touch is magic, energy so calm and nice, and the overall experience was superb from start to finish. I feel ultra relaxed after my appointment with her and exactly what I needed for myself and my scalp :) read more

I had a hot stone message and healing spa. It was amazing!!! Everything about this establishment is so awesome. It was clean and the staff were so friendly. I can't recommend this spot enough. read more

My sister and I had a 3 pm appointment and my brother had his appointment an hour later. Thanks for the recommendation, brother! The parking wasn't so bad since there was a parking lot at De Lacey nearby that only charges $1 for two hours. I had the deep cleaning treatment and it was amazing! It started off with the scalp examination and just to see the hair follicles close up was mind blowing! Staff was friendly and let me know what they were planning to do beforehand. I felt so relaxed and even fell asleep during the treatment. I only had a few clogged pores from my scalp so it was nice to have them removed. My hair felt better afterwards! Thank you so much!!! I will return one day for the 60 minute head massage. read more

An interesting unique experience that I've been wanting to try. Booked the 60minute headspa - you start by putting on a robe and they use a little camera to examine your follicles, then the experience consists of shampoo, steam, and treatment for your hair, with a nice scalp massage. Pretty relaxing, and my hair felt softer after. read more

Just had 1 of the best head spa in my life! This place is very clean with very friendly staff working. I had a very similar head spa experience bck in Japan but Head Spa En was a better experience for me! I recomend the therapist that I got I think her name was Yasuka! Her skill is top notch you won't regret it! Planing to go bck soon! read more

Kensuke was amazing - I spontaneously made an appt today and wow, he has a gift with his hands. I can't recommend this place and his services enough. Thank you for some bliss in my day! read more

Love! Love! Love!!!! Highly recommend this place if you're looking to de-stress and pamper yourself a little. I did the Head Spa + Deep Scalp Cleansing that totaled 1hr45min with Riko!! The time flew by so quickly! My scalps never felt cleaner and more relaxed! Make sure to bring some styling hair supplies bc unless they have the blow-dry service, you'd have to blow-dry your hair in the restroom. They provide brushes and a Dyson blow dryer. I'll definitely be back again and again!!! read more

Nice, peaceful location. The head massage was lovely and calming. Everything I needed after a stressful month at work.

Owner Sayuri uses hot stones, gua sha, and massage techniques to promote the health of your scalp and hair. It also promotes deep sleep, which helps relieve stress from headaches, migraines, insomnia, etc. I had a fantastic experience and felt so relaxed. So happy to have something like this so local in Pasadena. Btw, they do have their own lot in the back. 10/10 highly recommend! read more

Overrated. Not worth the price. The price of their service of just touching your hair, washing it and stroking it is not worth it. They just came with a presentation & The employees are so nice but save yourself time & money. Very disappointed. read more

Not Worth the Hype (or the Price) This was my first time going to a head spa, and I was really looking forward to it. I've seen Instagram reels of head spas using cool scalp tools, and giving soothing massages that look amazing. Unfortunately, this experience didn't live up to any of that. The space was nice and the person giving the treatment was kind, but the service itself felt underwhelming. There was no real scalp massage--just some light pressure for about 20 minutes. At one point, he wrapped my hair and left the room for 10 minutes, without offering any kind of shoulder or neck massage while I waited. The only part that felt relaxing was a quick 5-minute shoulder rub at the end. They did take a magnified video of my scalp before starting, but never showed me what it looked like afterward--which felt like a missed opportunity for connection or feedback. They also didn't offer any guidance on what my scalp or hair might need, or recommend any products to help improve it. My hair did feel clean afterward, but for $150 plus a $30 tip, it honestly felt like I had just paid for a hair wash. I walked out feeling disappointed. read more

Hands down to this place! Staff is so welcoming. I've been here a few times and everyone is great. My favorite person I go to is Kensuke. He is amazing very good at what he's does. I felt so relaxed and even fell asleep. Thank you read more

I booked a 10am scalp treatment this morning thinking it would be early enough to not be too crowded and more relaxing. The service itself was nice and so was the gentleman who provided it but the salon - which has open ceilings so any and all noise can be heard - was really loud. First there were people talking quite loudly, and the gentleman had to go out and ask the people talking to be more quiet. Then it sounded like people were cleaning the space and making noise and clatter and at one point dropped something on the floor. For $160, I was really looking to sit and relax and enjoy the service. When I left, the gentleman apologized profusely and gave me a card for 15% off my next visit. I feel that there are several new head spas that have opened in Pasadena recently and I will most likely try another place. I was very disappointed. read more

I don't what the hype is all about but my time with Kensuke a head spa specialist was mediocre. He was advertised on the website as the best. I don't think so........ read more

I was able to relax thanks to the conversation before the treatment and the calm atmosphere, and overall, I experienced a truly wonderful healing session. I also appreciated being able to look at my scalp and hair under a magnifying camera while receiving advice on how to care for them. Not only my head, but also my body and mind felt lighter. Thank you! read more

I've been dying and bleaching my hair for years. Add that to all the stress from the last few years of pandemic life - I noticed my hair thinning and a lot more hair falling out when I wash my hair. All my lab work is in normal range so I don't have any clinical reasons why this is happening. I did some googling and came across scalp detox treatment - and how it's very popular in Asian countries. I'm so happy when I saw that Sayuri had opened a location here in Pasadena so I don't have to drive to Beverly Hills! Booking was easy and Sayuri was able to schedule me in on a Saturday morning. The location is conveniently situated right off Colorado Blvd, nearby shopping and restaurants. Free parking in the adjacent lot and also street parking off of the small street. Sayuri checked out my scalp with her camera - she told me my scalp looked good, no excessive build up or any concerns. I like that she was honest and didn't try to upsell me on anything. Now I can just enjoy the scalp treatment and massage! The scalp massage and steam felt really nice and relaxing. Sayuri is also very sweet and fun to chat with - my 1 hour flew by! I'm glad Headspa is here in Pasadena, I look forward to my next appointment! read more

I had the most wonderful time with Kensuke and my Deep Scalp Cleansing in the Pasadena location, today! First off, I was late to my appointment because I couldn't find parking (heads up, I would get there at least 30 mins early to find parking). My appointment was at 1230 and I walked in around 1245 and (after a small bathroom break) we began at 1250. I was very apologetic and Kensuke was so sweet about it and told me not to worry. While we were in my session, he took his time. I was worried that because I was late that my session would be cut short but never did I feel rushed or a burden to his time. He took his time examining my scalp before hand, talking me through what I was seeing on the monitor, his hands were gentle yet firm enough to really massage the tension out of my head, and his demeanor just immediately put me at ease. If I had to complain about anything, it would have to be that it ended. I would love to come back again and even try the Deluxe package! read more

I love that there's now a headspa location in Pasadena as the others I usually frequent (in OC and Mid-Wilshire) are a bit of a headache to get to. Additionally parking is free and right behind the salon. I came in this past weekend to try the 40 minute headspa with Sayuri and absolutely floated out the door after my service. Sayuri starts off the with a quick consultation by examining your scalp with a cool mini microscope set up. I loved that she was super patient and attentive to all of my scalp concerns. She then proceeded with a back and shoulder massage and then hair washing. One of the best parts about her service is the top notch products she uses. The Japanese Milbon system is not only the best smelling shampoo in the universe but also healthy and nourishing for damaged hair like mine. After my service I even bought the scalp spray for when I have dry patches and flare ups. Overall pricing is very competitive and affordable for the great products and technique. I was super impressed with my first time here and will definitely be back and bringing friends! Thank you Sayuri for the amazing head spa appointment and I'm looking forward to my next visit already! read more

What a fun, relaxing experience! Started off a little stressed since I'm not familiar with the area. I parked in a lot next to the building, but Head spa EN staff told me I couldn't park there. Riko and Ken were SO helpful in explaining to me where I can park. Ken even ran out with me to try to help me find spots (exceptional customer service!!!) There seem to be pay to park lots around the area. Lots of meters on the street and a nearby bridge. I recommend having the "Passport" app set up so you can pay for these meters without needing quarters! Once I finally got all parked (I was now late ), Ken was so patient and reassuring. He got right to work on my 40 minute treatment. I loved the whole process, i could have fallen asleep. Ken helped all my recent stress go away! Thank you, Head spa EN!!! read more

Hi everybody. Tomoko provided my services, and I as so relaxed and spaced out. First off, it was very interesting so see my scalp through this microscopic device she uses. I was very glad to see up close that I had no skin issues. Next... the shoulder and neck massage. Yes. Next she shampooed my hair with lovely smelling shampoo. Then, came the steam. I'm sure people like the steam, it prepares the hair for the treatment, but it was a little too hot for me. Tomoko fixed that right away though. Then we moved on to the amazing moisture hair treatment. It felt so nice and soft. My hair was soft for days afterward. While that was on she massaged my scalp. It's the ultimate Luxury. Very relaxing. They'll dry and style your hair too. I was feeling very fresh and ready to go out. read more

I struggle with scalp psoriasis and it was driving me crazy. I decided to come here for their deep cleansing treatment which helps address scalp conditions. Sayuri was so welcoming and kind. She explained to me what she was going to do today and was so gentle. My scalp felt so much better than when I came in. I came in itchy, scaly, and had so much white dead skin falling off. After the treatment, my scalp looked so much better. Virtually didn't see any of my flakes!!! I could've cried when I saw that scalp!!! She gives an amazing massage too! I fell asleep during my treatment and will be definitely returning soon to help alleviate my psoriasis inflammation. Thank you Sayuri!!! read more

I went recently to this head spa and got the deep cleanse treatment. It was SO relaxing! I had Sayuri and she was kind and professional. I don't as given a kimono and was treated to the best hour ever! With the service they show you your hair follicles and you see the before and after - well worth it! I can't wait to go back ! read more

Still a five star experience and now it's at their new spa location on Pasadena Avenue that they have to themselves rather than a tiny room in a busy hair salon. I enjoyed the recent head spa service and the honesty. I will definitely be back again! read more

I just had the most ethereal, out-of-body, experience at Head spa EN. In only 60 minutes, neck pain from multiple injuries and years of upper back stiffness are gone! Even my brain feels relaxed. WOW! I really recommend this place if you have any type of back or neck issues and the scalp massage can even help with reducing dandruff! Give it a try, you will love it. My technician Riko, was so professional and skillful. Ask for her if you stop by, I definitely will be back! read more

A friend recommended me to Sayuri at Headspa EN for a headspa treatment. I opted for the the full 90 minute scalp treatment and Sayuri she was incredible. I told her the issues I was experiencing and she customized my massage. I can't even describe what this treatment did for my mood and relieving my stress and migraine after a very long couple of months. I am so grateful that she offers this amazing service. I will definitely be back next time I am in Pasadena. read more

I did a 1hr session with Kelly and it was an amazing experience. The salon is very clean & nice and quiet. My overall experience was incredibly relaxing. She used the perfect amount of pressure during the massage portion. 10/10 I would definitely come back and I can't wait for my next appointment! read more

Tried the Pasadena location this time for the 90 min session. Once again, Sayuri was amazing as it was super hard not to doze off. Additionally, I had no idea it came with a quick foot massage too (which was also great even though I was ticklish). Just wanted to add that I also normally don't get my hair blow dried because it usually feels uncomfortable when someone aims it near my scalp but Sayuri made sure to angle the dryer so that it wouldn't scald me. Overall the entire experience is worth every penny. read more
