    What a great way to treat yourself! Came the day after my birthday and I left with my scalp feeling squeaky clean. I set my reservation online based on what I thought I needed. When I came, they diagnosed my scalp by taking pictures and then recommended which treatment would be best for me which ended up being the Special Scalp Care Treatment. It was very relaxing (I was definitely hungover). I almost fell asleep while they were going to town on my scalp, it felt so nice! I do think the massage portion wasn't the greatest but otherwise it was a relaxed experience! Would definitely come back and even am considering being a member!

    Quaint head spa in Burlingame. The staff here are a the best!! They are caring, makes sure your visit is satisfactory and works to stay on time. The massage was great and the best part is they use quality products like Olaplex!

    Came here with my mom for her birthday and it was a very fun experience. This is a smaller studio so they can only accept 2 guests at a time, and each guest gets their own room. I really appreciated the privacy and then calmness of the environment. The studio was very clean and our scalp and hair felt cleaned and refresh after the session. They started off the visit with a back massage, which was a pleasant surprise, then the scalp treatment, and finally they blow dry your hair. They had a camera to show me my scalp before the treatment, however did not show me the after-treatment view. I wished I got to see if my scalp truly looked different afterwards. Additionally, I also preferred if they would tell me what they're doing each step of the way without me needing to ask. Aside from that, I had a wonderful experience!

    I've been trying to make an appt at their San Jose location for months but they've become so popular they're booked months in advance or if you're lucky, you'll see an opening due to a cancellation. Of course, you best be at the ready as that appointment will get booked quick... After about 8 months of trying, H20 Head Care opens a 2nd location in Burlingame. This location seems a bit easier to book an appt online. My friend was able to find an opening for 2 for the same time (a month out) which makes for a great pamper day. I tend to hold most my tension in my face, head, neck, shoulders so I was really looking forward to a relaxing scalp treatment with massage. As another reviewer noted the description is a little misleading as it notes a massage with your treatment. It starts off with a very light, 5 min upper body massage and well...that was it! Hmm can't say it was beneficial as it was so quick...Next, was a wand scan of my scalp (shown on a monitor) showing I was oily with a recommendation of a double wash with a hair moisturizing mask. The treatment was very relaxing that I fell asleep while my therapist massaged my temples, lightly scrubbed my scalp and used their special rinsing contraption while you're zen-ing. Overall, a wonderful experience and would recommend the basic or intermediate treatment for your first visit. I can't say they customize based on your needs as my friend and I compared notes from our treatment and it seemed she got a double wash as well even after being told she had a dry scalp...not sure if they used different cleansers/shampoos...hmmm. Therapist were both very friendly and made sure you were comfortable and relaxed. At the end of your treatment they offer to dry your hair but opted to take over after she dried 1/2 way...my hair was noticeably softer and felt cleaner. A treatment I would indulge in once or twice a year. Olaplex products and brushes available to style your hair. Private parking lot shared with a liquor store. Smaller location to accommodate 2 guests in separate rooms.

    Made an appointment for my mom and I to experience the beginner head care. I booked about two months in advance because this place is so popular! You can sometimes get lucky with last minute cancellations though. They have two treatment rooms, so while I was able to get my mom and I the same appointment time, we were in separate rooms. The outside is pretty unassuming and in a plaza, but the inside is neat and modern-looking. For my treatment I had CC: -started with a back massage (you will have to remove all your upper body clothing for the entire treatment) -she took pictures of my scalp and explained to me what she saw (I appreciated her saying that the beginner treatment was enough for my scalp needs! Felt nice that she wasn't pushing for me to spend more) -after pictures, she did a deep wash of my hair, used various tools on my scalp, scalp massage, did a neck/shoulder massage, steamed my hair -she showed me after pictures of my scalp -ended with her blow drying my hair and applying olaplex products! -she went 20min over the time even though I was 10min late! So patient and nice of her. They are offering 20% off right now since the Burlingame location is new, which made the beginner head spa ~$110 after I tipped. Definitely a "treat yourself" experience, but it was super relaxing and I recommend trying it especially while the deal lasts!

    I recently visited this amazing head spa because my friend gifted me a certificate few months ago! I had the intermediate service but I upgraded to the special one with Chinese herbs since it was my very first time. Stella, who took care of me, was absolutely fantastic! She started with a back massage, then used the magnifying camera to show me the oil build up on my scalp.. I was soooo shocked!! After an hour of washing and massaging, my scalp looked clean and refreshed. The whole experience was incredibly relaxing and my head felt so much better. I've seen pathetic videos of these treatments from Asia on TikTok and I'm so glad we finally have them here now. We usually focus on regular body massages and facials but our heads need attention too! Thank you so much Stella! I'll def be back! :)

    Do the scalp massage involve hair oil?

    No. I don't think so. It involves detox, shampoo, conditioner and serum with massage.

    Fantastic experience. This place is efficient, easy to book, and had an excellent massage with Eva…read more I'm a small woman and a lot of places won't give a massage as hard as I like - Eva did a fantastic job and was willing to give the deep kind of massage that I asked for and love. Will be back!

    A bizarre experience…read more I was 4 mins late to my massage and the front desk person let me know they'd have to deduct it from my 60-min massage booked time. I said that's fine. I then sat for another 5 mins in the lobby waiting for the masseuse to come out. The front desk person rushed in trying to find my masseuse, who then came out and looked at me confused. Then.... HE REACHED INTO MY PURSE?? and tried to grab an envelope I had just gotten from a bank. I was alarmed and shocked and said "this is mine." The front desk girl saw all of this happening just in time as she came out and said "Dennis!" I was, at this point, confused and uncomfortable but didn't want to forego the deposit I had paid for my massage already. So, I went along with it and followed Dennis (masseuse) in. All in all, I got a 45-min massage and had a man I had never met try to reach into my purse. The massage was OK. I came out and asked the front desk girl why my masseuse had reached into my personal purse and she remarked "yea that was crazy, I can't believe I saw that too. I'll talk to him and management." I still never received any communications as to why this establishments masseuse reached into my purse at the lobby. I felt very uncomfortable and only after I flagged this, the front desk girl gave me 10% ($7) off of my massage. For $7, I'd rather not have a man dig into my bag??

The location…read moreis right off of Burlingame Avenue, there is street, metered parking all around, or a parking lot right across the street. Keep in mind if you schedule your appointment on Sundays, parking is free! I received a gift certificate for a 1 hour Deep Tissue Massage. When it comes to gift certificates, you cannot book your service through their website, so I decided to go in person to make my appointment. The lady who helped me was super friendly and made me feel welcomed. It was highly recommended from the person who gifted me the gift certificate to either book with Wendy, due to her pressure of really getting in those tight areas, or May, who was also really great. It just so happened May was available for the time that worked for me. The spa is clean, May came to greet me right on time, she asked me if I had any area's I wanted her to focus on, and checked in on me multiple times throughout the massage to confirm her pressure was ok. I never felt so relaxed and so comfortable. I would definitely recommend booking with May for your next massage in Burlingame!

    This is my secret spa when I need total rejuvenation…read more I've come here after international trips to decompress from 15+ hour flights, and every time, it resets my entire nervous system. What stands out immediately is how curated the experience is from the moment you walk in. Even the names of the services feel intentional and aligned: there's a clear brand philosophy behind everything they do. The decor is thoughtful, not overwhelming, and once you enter the massage space, the experience becomes even more personalized. You first enter the sliding wooden doirs to a crystal grid, and the therapist actually takes the time to understand your body--areas of concern, areas to avoid--which is incredibly important. Not all massages are created equal. When a therapist works with your body instead of just applying routine techniques, the experience becomes far more effective. Afterward, you step into this walkway that feels like an evening on Malibu Beach--the sound of large ocean waves, the lighting, the atmosphere. It pulls you into the present moment in a way that feels intentional + ritualistic. Inside the room, everything is designed for comfort and immersion. The tables are warm, there's a soft white fur blanket, and even the smallest details are intentional: the cute tiny Tibetan bowls where you place your belongings. When you pick them up at the end, it creates this subtle, calming chime. It's those small nuances that make the experience feel iconic! Each massage therapist has their own artistry, but they all follow a unified philosophy. The use of essential oils, guided breathing, and the ambient sound of ocean waves creates a full sensory experience. At times, it genuinely feels like you're on a coastal retreat--there's even this subtle quality in the air that mimics that ocean freshness. Kinda like salt [reminds me of those himalayan salt rooms in jimjilbangs in Korea]. Even the restroom is clean, calming, and consistent with the overall experience. Usually a candle of their signature smell is lit...nothing feels like an afterthought. I've had massages all over the world, and this place is something special. It's not just about getting a massage--it's about the environment, the intention, and how your body is guided into relaxation. That level of care makes a difference. The staff is warm, some know me by name, and it always feels like I'm stepping into a space where healing is the priority: physically and for the nervous system. If you become a member, it's also much more reasonable to come regularly, which I highly recommend. This place is precise, intentional, and beautifully executed. I love it. My true oasis in The Bay Area.

    I had no issue with the massage, however, I had a gift certificate - a gift from my daughter. I…read morecouldn't enter it on the website to book a massage. I called the salon and the person I spoke with was unhelpful. I booked a massage with the understanding I would bring the gift certificate with me. A woman called me an hour before the massage and said my gift certificate would be honored. I arrived, the massage was fine, but after I was asked to pay and given the entire amount. I said I had a gift certificate. The receptionist said I know but we can't get the gift certificate to work. I said it was bought on your website and I had the email - from the salon - showing the gift certificate and amount ($150). The lady said what is your daughter's information, I need to figure out how she bought the gift certificate. I said she's 15. She bought the gift certificate on your webpage and I received an email - from your salon - telling me I had a $150 massage for your salon. The lady said okay, it's okay. You don't have to pay. I said, well I do because I spent $160 on a massage because of things I added and I also want to include a tip. So I'll pay the difference. The lady said okay. She said she'd charge my credit card the $10 difference plus what I wanted to leave as a tip. I thought all was well only to come home to see a charge for the entire cost of the massage plus the tip. They didn't honor the gift certificate which was from their website. I tell you, I go to have a massage for stress relief, but this place is SO stressful with the disorganization of the business. I was going to go again, but after all is said and done there is no way I'd ever go back again. They caused me stressed. I'll need to dispute the charge now with my credit card company. It was not worth it for all the stress. They have a membershio which I was thinking about joining but I won't now. I don't trust people who operate like this.
