Shatoya T.

Rating: 0/5 - Unprofessional and Unsanitary My experience at Spa Restoration Center was so disappointing that we actually had to leave before even starting. I booked a 60 min couples massage. The moment we walked in, we were hit with an unpleasant smell and stifling heat. To make matters worse, the staff member at the counter was unprofessional--greeting us while eating and digging in her mouth. When we saw the state of the massage room, which was so humid the floors felt "sweaty" and damp, we knew we couldn't stay. We were looking for a relaxing, clean environment, but this was the exact opposite. Save your time and money; we certainly won't be back.

This experience is amazing. I had been researching Japanese head spas on instagram and thought I had to go to NYC to find one....until I found this spot in Arlington! It came highly recommended to me by my facialist. Do not be dissuaded by the exterior look of the location. Free parking in the back! I decided to treat my best friend here for a Christmas gift. We booked the couples experience which included the standard head spa. No bells and whistles added. We were completely blown away. The camera of the scalp is both grotesque and satisfying and certainly eye opening. If we spend so much on facials and massages or other self care, which do we so willingly avoid the scalp!? Idk I guess because it's hard to see and often painstaking to try to treat without hurting your arms straining your neck and having the patience of the Dalai Lama. Just Trust me and book this experience asap. I walked in with what I thought was clean hair (I washed it the night before) and left with a scalp that was bright and tingly and hair cleaner than I have ever had it. The spa experience includes many washes, rinses, brushes, massages, water jets, and steam. The location makes their own Chinese herbal tea to use to wash the hair and it smells delightful. The shampoos, conditioners and leave in treatments smelled of tea tree and lemongrass and penetrated deep with a good tingly effect. It was stronger than expected but didn't make my eyes water or skin sensitive. They swear by using all natural ingredients. I will sing this place's praises to all who listen and bring my family next! I'll also add the lymphatic drainage :)

My friend and I came here for a 90-minute herbal scalp treatment. I'm not sure if they evaluated our scalp but if they did, they did not mention anything to us. The scalp massage and acupressure were a bit on the harder side, which I personally enjoyed, and felt refreshed. The head spa machine they used is quite loud and beeps at certain times. This is not a luxury spa, but it did the job and overall, I am satisfied with how clean my scalp and hair felt. The blow dry at the end is a simple hair dry, with no styling. The ambiance was nice and there was plenty of parking in the back lot. Would I try another head spa before coming back here? Yes.

This review is just for their head spa. They do offer other massages and services, but I didn't try those. tl;dr if you're looking for the head spa experiences that are blowing up on tiktok of nyc head spas, this place will fall short. for what they do offer, they do a great job though. I just don't think it's worth $79, pre-tip. The 60 min head spa is predominantly hair washing with scalp massages along the way. I didn't get the same experience as some other reviewers where they had a consultation. I was told the different things they were going to do and then led directly to the back without any personalization. The different things they did were centered around the hair, not the scalp as much as I was expecting, so my scalp doesn't really feel much cleaner than it was before. I didn't love the shoulder and neck massage. I get a lot of body massages, so I might be pickier than the average. I didn't find shoulder/neck massage portion to be relaxing, just a little rough and pinchy. With all that said, everyone was pleasant, the ambiance was very warm and inviting, and they delivered on everything they said they would, it just wasn't for me. Scheduling is a little weird too. You only request an appointment online, so my request was confirmed 2 days before but then canceled 1am the day of because they were double booked. I then had to call to reschedule and that went off without a hitch. Not the biggest issue for me, but heads up for others that might have a tighter schedule - just call them.

A friend and I visited Spa Restoration Center for a couple's head spa appointment a month or two ago, and I have mixed feelings about our experience. What wasn't so great? The reservation system was wild. I used the "Book an Appointment" link on their website, and they texted me a few days later. The texting was confusing. They texted me that the time I preferred (you suggest some times when you used the "Book an Appointment" link on their website) and offered another time. (They didn't identify themselves in that initial text so I had to ask who was texting me.) I said the time they offered was fine, but they didn't confirm. So I texted back, asking if it was confirmed, and they responded the next day that the time they had offered was no longer available. They offered another time that was too late for us, so then they offered another time. I said yes to this time, and this time we were confirmed for an appointment. Then a few days later, they texted and said that they had booked us for the wrong appointment type (massage rather than head spa) and asking if we could reschedule to earlier, so we moved our appointment to this time. Then, we arrived and we weren't even in the same room (rather than being in a couple room, we were in separate rooms, not together). This happened to another group that had booked a couple's appointment while we were there. So, they definitely have a problem with bookings right now. We definitely didn't start off on the right foot with the booking process. What was good? The price for the head spa is way more affordable than the other head spa experience I've had ($79 for 60 minutes), but it was also way less custom than the more expensive experience I've had. I've always had problems with scalp and am very interested in head spas. The experience at Spa Restoration Center was pretty basic, but I left with a very clean scalp and hair - and very relaxed to boot. I'd call the head spa service at Spa Restoration Center a deep clean shampoo and massage more than a custom head spa experience, but I still really appreciated it. Great value. Overall, I'd probably check it out again, but I probably wouldn't try to go with anyone to avoid the booking issues we've experienced.

I scheduled an appointment for me and my friend for a girls night activity. We were welcomed in and had a consultation at the time of our appointment to see what treatment works best with our scalps. All the staff members were so nice and thorough with their work. They were very sweet and caring. I would love to go back again for another scalp massage when I can. I tried making the appointment online initially and they contacted saying the time slot I wanted was already taken. They do amazing work and I just know they'll be busy with new and returning clients.

Did a head spa, mini facial massage and 30 min back massage combo (2 hrs) with Mandy and felt really relaxed after. I mainly went for the head spa experience but the mini facial massage and hot stone were also great! I loved the ginger oil used as you can really feel the warmth from it. My scalp and head have never felt this light and clean and my hair is so silky soft after!!! Mandy was great and explained the experience beforehand. I will definitely be back and would love to try the sympathetic drainage massage next. This is definitely not a luxe spa so if you are looking for vibes then this place is not it. There is plenty of free parking in the back.

Had no price lists or leaflets, or any general product information. So was pressured into making a decision on the spot. Also the bloke trying to mansplain to me what the symbols meant on the packaging was completely wrong xD He tried to explain how the little jar symbol with the 24 in it meant that it had 24 month's worth of product in it! I said it was the Period After Opening (PAO) symbol, which is how long the ingredients are safe to use after opening. As soon as he tried to make up stuff I knew I had to get out. Thankfully he pointed out how I didn't want to fix my rosacea and blackheads before I left. Maybe do your own research and fix you sales pitch first *Also kinda convenient that all 3 of the 5 star reviews are by guys that have only reviewed this store and nothing else

Minarelle - None of these treatments are actually done just loads of questions and if you want to buy any of the tools they sell, thats it.
