blow out!
Christine R.

Amazing experience! I decided to treat myself to a blow out but it was more than that! From the moment I walked in I was treated like a queen.. champagne?? yea please! The shampoo and hair mask experience was top notch and my blow out was beautiful!! I will definetly be back!! This establishment offers so many services and I will try them all! Go on a Wed as a first time client and receive a generous 30% off! Thank you Alex! And Emily you are such a great start to the experience!

First of all, the staff is incredible. So knowledgeable, welcoming and kind. They really set you up to feel special and treated. The vibes are so warm and then when it's time to settle into relax, it's a seamless transition. I got the 30 minute scalp massage but wanted way longer!

Complimentary Fuzzy Socks

Absolute relaxation heaven. Visited to celebrate my mom's birthday and we loveeed it! When you walk in, the ambiance is cozy. Neutral pretty colors with lots of plants everywhere! The meditation room was amazing as well. There are warm fuzzy socks you can keep and oils to choose from for your scalp massage. Tea and water are also provided. Amairani was so kind and explained the scalp massage process beforehand. She scrubbed my head, massaged it with oils, put shampoo, and conditioner...just amazing! The eye mask was soothing and the blanket made me feel right at home. Afterwards, she blow dried my hair. Such a relaxing experience, we are definitely coming back! Definitely recommend visiting!!

OMG MUCH needed TLC and I would highly recommend this place. The 60 minute head spa treatment is $139 and it may seem hefty but this place is so different from any "Asian hair spa" because you actually get your own private room, you don't hear anyone else except the music and I swear to God I almost fell asleep. It is so relaxing, you get the care you need for your scalp and the ladies there are so helpful and nice. I love it! There's free parking next door so you don't have to worry about getting there too early but it is next to a popular brunch place.

I wanted to leave an honest review about my experience here. My sister-in-law gifted me a $150 gift card for a head spa treatment at this place. As a first-time mom, it took me a while to finally make time for myself, so I was really looking forward to this experience after reading so many positive reviews. I arrived 15 minutes early as suggested so I could relax before my appointment. My appointment was scheduled for 11:15 AM, but I was not called in until around 11:35 AM. Since it was my first visit, I was expecting a bit more guidance and explanation throughout the process. During the treatment, I received a scalp analysis at the beginning, but I was a little disappointed that there was no post-treatment scalp check afterward to compare the results or see any difference. The massage itself was great and relaxing, but I also felt uncomfortable at times because the eye mask and the water used while washing my hair felt too hot occasionally. At checkout, I felt confused about the charges because the receptionist was chatting with coworkers and handling a DoorDash order while assisting me, so the deposit and final charges were not clearly explained to me. I ended up just paying and leaving because I did not feel like I had her full attention, and I decided it would be better to email afterward for clarification. Thankfully, the owner was very kind, responded to my email promptly, clarified the issue, and offered to refund the mistaken charge. I really appreciated how professionally the owner handled the situation. Overall, while there were parts of the experience I enjoyed, especially the massage and the owner's customer service afterward, the visit itself did not fully meet the expectations I had going in.

Such a great experience ! 20/10 recommend. I got there early and had a lovely cup of tea and got to relax in the little room in the back. Brooke took fantastic care of me. My shoulders, neck and scalp feel amazing. And I loved getting to see what my scalp looked like up close and how different the before and after looked.

This was my first time booking a scalp spa, and I was blown away. I would highly recommend you try the Scalp Sanctuary. As soon as you walk in, you are in awe by the level of detail and beauty put into the place. It's so beautiful and exactly the vibe you want to be in when you book your service. I'm obsessed! You are greeted and taken to the meditation room with tea, champagne, chocolates/cookies until your specialist meets you. My specialist was Natalie and she was the BEST! She greeted me and asked me to choose two essential oils for my scalp massage. She then took me into my own private room for the scalp spa. I changed into a towel wrap, fuzzy socks, a warm eye mask and had a blanket. I was very cozy to say the least, ready to fall asleep. It was a such a relaxing and educating experience, and I learned so much about my scalp! The scalp massage also includes a neck and shoulder massage. The products used on my scalp and hair were very good quality, one of my favorites and it smelled amazing. I ended the service with a bouncy blowout, ready for my night out. They have different membership options for blowouts and the scalp massage. I can't wait to come back an my friends and family. I'll be back very soon!

Had been wanting to try my very first head spa and so happy I finally made it happen. From the moment I walked in I was greeted with a smile and got led to the back lounge area where I was given the option of tea,water or Rose. I opted for the glass of rose and was able to relax in space until Cassandra came to get me. Cassandra was phenomenal and gave off such calm energy throughout service. She did an excellent job explaining everything first and then came treatment. So relaxing and i personally loved all the smells of shampoos. I ended up purchasing one shampoo because loved the cleansing tingly sensation. I did the 90 minute treatment which I feel was the perfect amount because service flew by. My only regret is not using their complimentary fuzzy socks because my feet got cold towards the end but that was my fault. I also decided to book the blow out after which Cassandra also helped me with. The blowout was amazing and my hair came out better than any blow dry bar I've been to. Aesthetics and service was 10/10. Would love to do a girls day here with friends.

Total relaxation! Truly incredible experience. Beautiful space, everyone was super nice, and Grace who performed the 60 minute scalp relaxation for me did an amazing job. I left relaxed, refreshed, and my scalp and whole body feel wonderful. I cannot recommend this service enough!

Their online booking system was very straightforward and easy to book, and I was able to book a "Hollywood Waves" session with Nicole. It was nice that they offered the $45 price without hair wash. It's a small shop located inside the Colonnade Mall on South Lake Ave. You can park in the parking lot in the back and it's located on the bottom floor of the Mall. Nicole was very sweet and I showed her a few pictures of inspiration. I liked that she listened to what I wanted, I had mentioned that my hair tends to frizz when I have curls so I'm glad she was able to tame my hair so it didn't at the end. Nicole is very talented and she made the experience so relaxing, and it seemed so easy to make my hair so beautiful.

I scheduled a month ago for my nieces party. Two sisters for hair and makeup and 11:00. One would…read morebe getting hair while the other makeup and then switch. I text Liz to ask if they can add my sister at 10:00 for hair and makeup and she confirmed yes. I have all the proof on my text. Then a few days before I asked if they could do my hair at 9:30 no makeup and they were nice enough to accommodate me (or so I thought) fast forward to day of our big event. Yes I was running late and they moved it down that was my fault. But when my sister got there at 10:00 they started asking for one of my nieces saying one of them was suppose to be at 10:15. My sister called me on speaker and Liz was very rude and unprofessional. She totally made my sister feel so uncomfortable on a very important day for her and her daughters. It made me so upset that the start of their big day was ruined by how rude they were being treated and how Liz was yelling at me on the phone. I sent screenshots to my sister so she can show them proof of all our conversations. Liz dismissed it still blaming me. I told my sister here is the text she sent me with prices because I have a feeling she's going to try to charge you more. Sure enough my sister said she tried to charge her more. Upon seeing my nieces to get them in their quinceñera dress I could not believe the makeup that was done on them. I could have done a better job. They slapped sloppy glitter on top of their eyelids and put on cheap eyelashes. Their makeup looked lfar from special and the girls were so disappointed they almost cried. This "beauty bar" is not for a special occasion! Avoid at all cost. You will be disappointed. The makeup artist is nicer than Liz that's for sure but does not do quality work. Pay more for makeup because a cheap price comes with cheap makeup and hair . Update! The business intended to clarify but they are wrong. The attitude of Liz ruined what was suppose to be a special moment for my sister and nieces! There was no need to be rude and yell at me on the phone!

I love coming here for facials and to touch up my brows. I utilize the services of Julie, who is very attentive to detail and your personal skin care needs - this is your go to person. For my facials, I let her take the lead and go with what she feels my skin needs. I have never had any issues from the products used and I have always been satisfied with the outcome. I'm not going to lie, the extractions hurt but they're necessary so just grit your teeth and the process will be over before you know it. This spa is located in a plaza with a very ample parking lot. It is monitored so make sure you pay for your parking (I believe the first 30 or 90 mins are free...forgot the deets on that) or you will come back to a ticket. If you're in a need of a snack before your appointment, there are several coffee shops you will pass before reaching the spa. Appointments are required as is a deposit for services.

To be honest, I went in with low expectations because I've had such bad luck with salons since moving to LA. I must've gone through 5 different hair stylists. None of them listened to what I wanted.

They really cared about what I wanted and were very thoughtful about the kind of balayage that would work best for me. However, when I got home, I discovered I had chemical burns on my scalp, neck and face, as well as a blister on my ear that broke the skin. It's been more than 24 hours and the symptoms are still present and highly uncomfortable. I've had many color treatments and balayages in the past and this has never happened to me before, so I'm very concerned. I love my hair, but the skin damage makes this a really tough experience. Edit: I am updating my rating from 2 to 3 stars to express my appreciation for the salon's prompt communication and offer of a refund. To keep my review honest and transparent, I do want to note that the physical reaction I experienced was a clear chemical burn, with localized areas feeling burning and oozing. This might have been an oversight during the process--such as product being left on a bit too long or not rinsed out thoroughly. The stylists here are undeniably talented, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time during the appointment itself. While the physical reaction was unfortunate, their effort to communicate with me is appreciated.
