    Honey bottles for the "mask" put on with rubber gloves. How relaxing and professional.
    Andrea M.

    **take notice that on the negative reviews, the owner comments with excuses and does not take accountability for poor practices. Also taking what I said out of context to make it seem like I'm at fault. Very bad way to do business!** I was really disappointed with my experience here and would not return. I brought my daughter in for a head spa service for her birthday and she has very curly hair. When the service was finished, her hair was left with multiple matted knots, to the point that it took us over an hour at home to carefully detangle it and massive clumps of hair had to be cut out. This should never happen during a professional service, especially when working with curly hair textures. For my own service, I was not informed ahead of time that the shampoo was not color-safe, and as a result, a noticeable amount of my hair color washed out. That should have been clearly communicated before starting. Additionally, the head massage itself was extremely aggressive. Instead of being relaxing, the repeated squeezing and pressure on the top of my skull caused me to leave with a headache, which completely defeated the purpose of a spa treatment. In addition, they used gloves to give us facials causing friction and damage. They also used honey from the grocery store as a "mask". I highly doubt these ladies are cosmetologists cause the practices are not professional at all. To make matters worse, at the end of the appointment, we were asked to tip which is super rude in my opinion. Overall, this experience felt careless and unprofessional, particularly when it comes to communication, technique, and consideration for different hair types. I would not recommend this place, especially for anyone with curly hair or color-treated hair.

    I love experience getting a hair and scalp treatment !! It was an amazing vibe at the Serene Head Spa. I was able to make a last minute appointment with my boyfriend. We were both really impressed and happy with the service we got here. I would recommend coming here for a hair treatment, it is very professional and we did get the membership as well for a great deal so we will be coming back soon. Thank you again !!

    Today was my third visit to Serene head Spa and my scalp has never looked and felt better. Their scalp products, cutting edge machines and techniques really do work! I highly recommend trying a 90 minute treatment to see and feel great results. The amazing massage chair and manual massage is so relaxing too. They are having 25% Grand Opening special now. This would make a fantastic Mother's Day, Birthday, Anniversary, Graduation and Bridal Shower gift. Teens would benefit and love it. But it's for men too. Well, the ones with hair!

    Brought my mom for her birthday & decided to treat myself as well . So relaxing and refreshing! My scalp feels amazing--highly recommend.

    Before spa

    This is a review for the Serene Head Spa. Everyone should really visit and experience this amazing new technology and their top-quality service! I stumbled upon this place and decided to give it a try. The owner is incredibly nice and took the time to thoroughly walk me through the entire head spa procedure, as I was completely new to it. First, they examined my scalp before the treatment. My scalp was in pretty good condition, though I did have some clogged pores. Then I was taken into a private treatment room, where I laid down on a cool body massage chair while my scalp was massaged. It was incredibly relaxing--the massage chair made me feel like I was in heaven! The scalp massage itself was very soothing, and I could tell the products they used were high quality. They smelled amazing and made the whole experience feel even more luxurious. After the massage, I sat back in the chair while the therapist blow-dried my hair and applied some great hair products. She also used some innovative machines (I can't remember their exact names) that sprayed cool products between the strands and included a galvanic treatment, possibly to promote hair growth. The whole procedure took over an hour and was absolutely worth every penny! I will definitely come back for another head spa session. Thank you so much for the wonderful service!

However, due to personal reasons, I had to reschedule to 11:30 am PST, which was accommodated. Upon arrival at 11:30 am PST, I paid $70 in cash up front for the 1-hour Deep Tissue mentioned above. Everything goes the way I usually do when I get a massage. But after about 30 minutes, a few other customers entered the facility, and my masseuse left the room and greeted them. When she returned, she asked me if it was okay if she had finished and that the 70 dollars I had paid earlier would now be counted as 50 dollars for the 30 minute deep tissue massage and 20 dollars for her tip. I was very dissatisfied with this situation, but as a l first time experience, I no longer felt valued as a client I have no desire to return to this facility, and, naturally, I decided to leave at this time. In terms of the provided massage, the masseuse is very powerful and conducted a good 30 minutes out of a total of 60 minutes of deep tissue massage. However, due to poor customer service, as mentioned earlier, I will go to the better massage services in the Tustin area.

They put a lot of effort into recreating the feel of a traditional Korean village in their jjimjilbang and rest area, and it really does make you feel like you've been transported to Korea. The women's soaking pools are also spacious. Unfortunately, my most recent visit was really disappointing. The jjimjilbang rooms were noticeably cooler than I remembered. Most of them were barely warm enough to make me sweat, and even the hottest room didn't feel hot at all. At first, I assumed something was malfunctioning, which I would have completely understood. However, I asked the front desk and was told that these are going to be their regular temperatures moving forward because they had been cited by the health department for the rooms being too hot. I understand that they have to comply with health department requirements, but for someone who specifically comes here for the traditional Korean sauna experience, this completely changes the experience for me. If I'm going to a sauna, I expect to sweat. The LA weather outside honestly feels hotter than some of the sauna rooms now. It's unfortunate because iSpa used to be worth the hour-plus drive for me, and I genuinely loved coming here. The atmosphere is still beautiful and unique, but without the heat I expect from a Korean sauna, I don't think I'll be making the drive back.
