    I'm so glad that this place was recommended. First, everything is clean. From the moment you walk…read morein, you can feel the clean and welcoming energy. Mikayla was very friendly and explained everything she would be doing during the process. I chose the Advanced Head Care which included the scalp/hair treatment along with a mini facial massage. The service also included massaging of the neck and shoulders. She showed me pictures of my scalp in the beginning and how to tell the difference in areas. Unfortunately she did not do the after shots so I'm not sure how it looked after the treatment. Maybe next time. ‍ It was very relaxing and educational. They have a 20% discount for first time visitors and I do plan on going back again. I recommend checking them out if you're in the area.

    I hate leaving a bad review - but this was not a good experience at all for me…read more I visited H20 because I have thinning hair and thought this head spa might be able to support me with better scalp care. I purchased the "expert scalp service" which included a mini facial. It ultimately seemed like they just don't cater to people with any scalp or hair issues, they don't ask you about your concerns or goals, and really they provide a one size fits all experience. I really wanted to optimize my hair and scalp care, and sadly came away with the opposite. If they knew anything about scalp care for thinning hair, they sure didn't share any of that knowledge with me. Pro: The person who did my treatment seemed very kind and she meant well, so I have nothing against her specifically. I am giving two stars just because they seem like they try, they just don't seem to have any actual expertise in scalp or head care. The scalp analysis was a few quick close up scans of my scalp with no real explanation other than "see, there's some build up". I have very fine, brittle and thinning hair and the tech kept brushing it roughly throughout different parts of the treatment, including when it was wet with product in my hair (great way to lose more hair). I cringed as I could hear and feel my hair breaking every time. The treatment table is super uncomfortable and my neck kept locking up as the tech worked on different sides of my face, scalp and neck. The facial itself was totally claustrophobic - they put the face mask on, then a big sheet of gauze with something on top to weight it down covering your entire face, including mouth and eyes. It stays there for an hour while they do the scalp treatment. I couldn't see anything and there was so much going on with the water - it totally freaked me out when I was lying there trying to relax and had no idea what the tech was doing. And at one point, all of a sudden there's all this water shooting out at my neck out of nowhere. I spent half the treatment bracing myself for jump scares because I couldn't see anything. But even worse than the hair breakage was that the facial irritated my face so much that I am now all broken out :( I take really good care of my skin so this is a huge bummer. I have no idea what they did to it - there was some kind of scrubbing machine at the beginning of the facial that may have stripped my moisture barrier - or it was the fact that they left the mask on for an hour while they did the scalp treatment and it clogged my pores. My face is now all red and bumpy and some of it is itchy. This has never happened before, and I have no allergies - I think they just messed with my skin way too much. I'm sure they did not consider any specifics of my skin type or age when they did the facial. I'm glad other people like this place, and I'm sorry I didn't. If you have any specific scalp or hair issues, it may be best to avoid H20 or like me, you will come home with a lot less hair than you started with (and possibly a broken out face too!)

    This review is for the scalp analysis/treatment as I got that here and didn't get a haircut or…read morecolor and such. I've been curious of scalp analysis for quite sometime, and saw via the internet that Monica at Aval Hair Studio does it! I booked via Vagaro, and Monica texted confirming my appointment and directions to get to the correct area/room of the building. So helpful! Got in, got seated. Then that cool camera to the scalp area occurred and wow, first time seeing hairs that close up. Trippy haha. Apparently I have an amazing scalp and not much needs to be done, so I was here mostly for curiosity purposes and some relaxation time. If there are scalp issues or any issues you may have concerning your scalp, Monica is very knowledgeable and can offer some treatment plans and suggestions. After that, I changed and lied down on a warming bed. Ah so nice! Got an upper arms/neck/shoulders massage (if you don't want this, you don't need to change- I changed into some tube top robe thingy so that bra straps won't get in the way). Then comes the scalp scrub and steam. First time with scalp scrub. After that, I feel the need to buy some! Then hair gets rinsed and there was some time under the rainbow shaped water thingy. Very nice feeling. Had a warming eye mask on the whole time too. Brief head massage as well. After that, I was shampooed and conditioned, changed back to my normal bra and top, and then Monica dried my hair. I can never do it this great to myself haha. My hair was nicely straight and not all frizzed up, and it felt and stayed fresh for days. 2 Orangetheory classes later, and still going strong as I didn't get that must take shower feeling after the workouts.

    I have been a loyal client of Monica for about a year and have always loved her scalp treatments…read moreand products, which makes this experience especially disappointing. I do not usually write reviews; however, this situation calls for one. Unfortunately, the lack of communication and professionalism was noticeable and extremely disappointing. I reached out to Monica on November 12th to restock my shampoo and conditioner that I have been using from her line for about a year. We agreed to meet at the salon the next day. After I texted her that I would be in the area the following day, I never received a response to confirm when exactly I should come. I followed up on the 14th, and she stated what she had in stock. I told her my concerns about my hair and whether I should try one of her new lines of products. Again, I did not hear from her until the 20th after messaging her stating "hi there? I haven't heard back from you." This back-and-forth continued until the 21st. After 3 text messages I sent out to her over the course of 6 days, no apology for the lack of communication was given. It took days just to get basic information about product availability, a pickup day/time, and to have my questions answered about my hair concerns, which felt very unprofessional. During this time, I asked a few questions about the different product lines because she previously recommended switching between them. Instead of clear guidance, some responses were vague or uncertain -- including "yeah maybe" when I asked if the scalp shampoo could help with oil buildup on my scalp. It made me feel like she wasn't familiar with her own products. She would recommend some products, but really wouldn't expand on the questions I was asking. When I finally said I was ready to purchase and could Venmo her, she told me I seemed unsure about what I wanted and advised me to wait until after the holiday. I had simply been asking the questions I needed to ask about my hair type and which product line would work best for me, especially since I had already run out of product. I explained multiple times that I just wanted her professional input on what would be most suitable for my hair, given that these are her own products. She told me we could reconnect after the holiday week and mentioned that I could order online instead. She ended the conversation with 'have a great night,' but after consistently trying to coordinate for days, I couldn't help but feel dismissed and pushed away. Ultimately, the lack of follow-through, delayed communication, and unprofessional tone of this interaction left me extremely disappointed. In the end, her responses didn't give me confidence in her product knowledge, and she didn't seem open to the questions I asked. For anyone considering her services, I would recommend being aware of this.

    My 60 minute massage with Muammer was absolutely fantastic. This appointment was my very first at…read moreSpavia but I get massages regularly at other establishments in the Walnut Creek/Lafayette area. After reading a bunch of reviews both on Yelp and Google, they seemed all over the place. It's a good thing I chose to ignore some of the feedback and gave Spavia a chance. Booking the appointment was really seamless. The front desk was friendly and helpful in providing information as well as suggesting some massage therapists who could be a good fit. I made a point to fill all my necessary forms ahead of time then ensured I arrived 15 minutes before my appointment (as they instruct) to get situated before my massage. The facilities at Spavia were nice, relaxing, and clean. They even provide neck warmers for you to put on in the waiting room before your treatment which was such a nice touch. The massage itself was amazing. Before my treatment started Muammer went through all of the requests from the intake form to ensure he understood my preferences. Throughout my massage he did check-ins for pressure and gave me a heads of on what he would work on next which made me feel super comfortable. I do a lot of traditional weight training and my muscle really need to be worked on. To say that Muammer kicked my behind in the best possible way is an understatement. His massage technique and pressure was on-point! A bunch of knots that were causing so much tension melted away and I walked out of the appointment with my body feeling rejuvenated! Something that struck me as odd were the number of reviewers complaining about not getting their full treatment time. It had me worried that my services would be cut off early. Rest assured this absolutely DID NOT happen and Muammer gave me the full treatment time as booked. I think that when you actually show up on-time with the necessary grace period before your appointment like you're supposed to, you get serviced appropriately. Coming to Spavia was a real treat and I can't wait to book another appointment in the future!

    Went today for the Ultimate 24K Glow Radiance Facial with Tavianna. This was my first time ever…read morehaving a facial at a spa, so I was excited and a little nervous not knowing what to expect. The front desk staff was very helpful -- walking me through the consent forms, showing me the changing area, and helping me set the password for my locker. After changing, you're given a robe and slippers. The robe is incredibly soft and almost weighted, which added to the comfort. It even has pockets for your jewelry or glasses. Phones are not allowed in the treatment area, and no video/photo is permitted past the changing room, which I appreciated (and respected) for privacy. The facial itself was extremely relaxing. The music was at the perfect volume, and the room lighting was dim without being too dark -- just enough to enhance the experience. The service included a hand and arm massage with hot stones and warm compresses, which was such a nice touch. One minute I was getting a scrub, and the next I was waking up -- it was that relaxing. They also have a retail area at the front where you can purchase the products used during your service. Overall, a wonderful first spa experience. I'm already looking forward to booking my second facial and trying other services they offer. 100% would recommend

    I want to be fair and detailed in this review, because my experience changed dramatically between…read moremy first and second appointments with Chakay Smith, owner and artist of The Aesthetic Bar. During my first appointment, Chakay Smith was warm, professional, and communicative. The mapping and shape of my eyebrows were done well, and I was included throughout the process. I was shown the design, asked for my input, and felt comfortable and heard. However, once the procedure was complete and I saw the final result, I was immediately alarmed by the color choice, which did not match what I requested or the reference photos we discussed. When I expressed concern, I was reassured that it could be corrected after the six-week healing period and was told, "It's better to correct something that's too light than too dark." While my trust was shaken at that moment, I gave the benefit of the doubt that the correction would be handled willingly. Later, I was informed that a $100 correction fee would apply. I explained that this was not a change of preference, but a color error. I was told customer satisfaction was the goal, and the fee was reluctantly waived. From the moment I arrived for the second appointment, Chakay Smith's demeanor was noticeably different. There was no warm greeting as before. Instead of being taken to the treatment room, I was instructed to remain in the front lobby while numbing cream was applied and told to wait 15 minutes. I waited closer to 30 minutes, while she disappeared into the back. When I was finally taken to the room, communication was minimal. There was no conversation, no check-ins, no mirror offered, and no engagement -- a stark contrast to the first appointment. She left the room multiple times during the procedure, and the overall atmosphere felt tense and unwelcoming. I felt as though my presence was unwanted. When the correction was finished, I was relieved and satisfied with the final color. Wanting to end on a positive note, I asked if I could hug her, and she agreed. Immediately afterward, she sternly pointed at me and the table and stated that any future corrections would require payment for her time, with no exceptions. That moment confirmed what I had felt throughout the entire second appointment -- a complete shift in demeanor from warm and professional to cold and punitive. This review is not about perfection or even the final result, which I am satisfied with. It is about how a client is treated when an issue arises, especially in a service where trust, comfort, and professionalism are critical. The contrast between the two appointments was significant and unsettling. I waited before posting publicly to allow the opportunity for this to be handled privately. I hope future clients receive not only skilled work, but also consistent professionalism and respectful treatment when corrections are needed.

I've been deeply self-conscious about it, and discouraged by the ineffectiveness of serums and other options. I just saw Chakay for my first SMP appointment and I walked out feeling thrilled and grateful. Even after just one sitting, my thinning areas look completely gone, the color matching is incredible, my hair looks totally natural and consistent on my whole head, and my hair line looks improved and natural. Aside from her incredible talent, Chakay is also so warm and kind, and I felt immediately at ease.
