The owner Sonata is simply amazing. I'm so grateful I finally found her! She tailors the experience around what you need and ask for. I cannot wait to go back soon. read more

I love having massages at Head to Heal. I've been coming to Myrrah for 2 years. She does an amazing job of finding those tight spots in the muscles and gently working them out. The atmosphere is totally relaxing, with calming background music. I've had both one hour and hour and a half massages, but never want them to end. I have thought of the 5 hour massage, using a relay team. Myrrah has magic hands! I wish I could afford to put her on "staff." Recently, I fell while hiking and needed an immediate massage. With Myrrah unavailable, Sonata stepped in and gave me a wonderful massage, really focusing on the torn muscles of my calves. She used a variety of methods, using hammers, stones, oils, and her hands. What a master! I can highly recommend Head to Heal for massage. Truly great!! read more

See all

I highly recommend getting a massage from Sonata at Head to heal spa. It was my first time having a massage from her and i felt great afterwards. She has an intuitive touch and really worked out many kinks in my sore neck and back, they feel better than they have in a long time. The hot stone treatment she does also really penetrated down to the inner muscles. I felt very comfortable during the massage because she is sweet and the entire spa is very low-key and unpretentious. read more

Only did an eyebrow wax here, might be better for facials and the like... I feel like my hair grew back quickly and the wax wasn't very good. Also didn't like the fact that there was complaint of credit card fees from the lady... It's 2013 and that's what people use. read more

I had been getting my eyebrows done at Benefit Cosmetic counters before I moved to Penn Valley, and with no such thing in the vicinity I was excited to try out one of the local options. After some "yelping", I decided to go to Head to Heal Day Spa. I got eyebrows waxed by a woman named Carol, and not only did she do a good job, but she also charges much less than what I was used to paying (inlcuding tip), so I was pleased with my first experience; she seemed very pleasant. Then I made another appointment with Carolynn (a different woman) a few months later. My appointment was for the day of the "big storm", so she had called the day before to see how far as I was traveling from. We ended up chatting for a second and I told her that I would like to keep the appointment and would text/call her if the weather was too bad-I only lived down the street, after all. She said 'okay'. My appointment was at eleven, the spa doors were locked and I couldn't seem to get through to the spa or to Carolynn's phone. I know sometimes appointments can run late, so I waited in the parking lot for about twenty minutes. Tried one last time to open the spa doors, and then tried to call Carolynn one last time before I decided to stop wasting my time. She didn't call me until AN HOUR AND A HALF later and told me an appointment ran late; I decided to give her the benefit of the doubt and assumed there must have been some scheduling error. She offered to do my eyebrows for free, and I thought that was a pretty professional/reasonable way about handling the situation. So I called her back a few days later and left a voicemail asking if she had any open slots for the week, and never heard back. Maybe I'm being bratty, but I feel like I made an appointment like I was supposed to, and then waited patiently for that appointment, AND THEN was stood up-so I should not be kept waiting so long to hear back. I'd rather just drive to down to Roseville and get my eyebrows done at Benefit again, they've never let me down before and they've certainly flaked out on me at the last minute. read more

Hello Ashli, This is Carolyn with whom you had been scheduled with in Penn Valley for an eyebrow wax. I wanted to reply to your review. I do apologize for your disappointment with our missed scheduled appointment time. When I called to attempt to reschedule your time for this service to 1:30 pm, you had insisted to keep that original time as it was best for you being so close to that location. We did have stormy weather that day and it did slow everything down, posing additional challenges! I had previously been working in Roseville myself yet I had the room ready for you in Penn Valley. I was not aware that there would not be anyone available to run the front counter that day, and have the doors open. This would have remedied the situation some, for you would have been able to speak to someone directly when I could not reply to you directly at that time. I did have another client that I was working with, and it was not at the Penn Valley location. I had informed you about that during our call the day prior. While in appointments, I am not available to call or respond to texts as I am focused on the person in which I am working. I would do the same for you. I did contact you as soon as I was able to, and it was over an hour past your expected time as you stated. This is why I did offer to provide your next brow wax service for free at another time, however, I have not yet, nor have I ever received a return call from you. Instead, I had this Yelp Review shown to me days later; much to my disappointment! I had still been awaiting word from you until then. It is uncharacteristic to have had such a day as this one, and I most certainly would have called you back had I actually received a message from you. The folks at Head to Heal are great at their crafts and my hope is that you will return. Should you be willing, I will still honour my word for the free eyebrow wax service if you choose. That is my service, not that of others from Head to Heal as we are all Independent Contractors. Please accept my apology and do not let this mishap reflect negatively upon those at Head to Heal Day Spa. I do hope you are having a Blessed Holiday Season. Be Well, Be Kind, Be Happy, Carolyn read more

I just recently found this hidden gem in Penn Valley of all places! I had a massage here with the most amazing massage therapist ever, Sonata (not sure if I got the spelling right). As soon as you walk in the feeling of pampering and relaxation is in the air! The office is stocked with every kind of product your face, lips, or hands could ever need, to top it off there is an array of different aromatherapy lotions as well. As soon as I was done looking over every Dermologica and Youngblood product they had (I'm a huge fan of both!) I went into the massage room Let me tell, it was like walking into a museum of calm! The decor simply screamed (in a tranquil way) come in and relax, and I more than gladly complied. The therapist herself seemed to exude an aura of relaxation, I could my tension easing just by talking to her! The massage itself I can't say much about because I feel asleep almost immediately... something I can barely do at nights anymore with all my worries. I can tell you that her techniques were very well crafted, maybe whatever country she's from is known for their massage therapist expertise not known in the states. The oils she used, (her special blend, she said) should be bottled and sold because the smell of them alone is enough to send a person to nirvana! She also very receptive to my requests, but even more so she was like freaky intuitive in the way she knew the location of all the tight spots I've had! Overall, this was an amazing experience with an amazing professional the likes of I haven't encountered outside of the most luxurious spas in the Bay Area. I will be back again and again, buy some gift certificates for every member of my family and even try out their esthetician for one of the advertised facials, as suggested by Sonata. If you're reading this...do yourself a favor don't waste money on any other spa within driving distance, head to Penn Valley and treat yourself to the best experience money will ever buy you... and check back for my update about that facial that I'll be scheduling any day now. and why hasn't anybody yelped wonders about this place yet, did they just open or something? read more

Brandy, the nail person at this place was rude, sulking and unfriendly,

If you are looking for a wonderful esthetician, look no further. I highly recommend Star Frantz at Heal to Heal Spa in Penn Valley. Star offers a wide array of skin care services for every skin type and works with you to find the best treatments to make your skin look and feel amazing. I highly recommend the microdermabrasion treatments!!!! I love them! Another service Star offers is spray tan. She is so very good at getting a nice, even, healthy glow and explains what you need to do before and after the spray tan to make it last its longest. I have been a client for 3 years now and plan to be a client of Star's for many years to come. read more

They are crazy people that assume you come there to steal from them. I was dissatisfied with my eyelashes that I paid 150.00 for. I called to tell Star that I was unhappy. She insisted I came back in so she could see the eyelashes. I explained I didn't want to come back in, since I was sick, and I was going to try to locate a woman whom had previously done a fantastic job. She agreed she would send me a partial refund. 1 week later, I got a letter in the mail once again insisting I come back in so she could she the job I was unhappy with. By this time, I had already found the other woman, who also had trained Starr by the way, and she did another fantastic job. The eyelashes that Starr had put on just came off easily which was not supposed to happen. I informed her I had already redone them. She then accused me of "slandering her name around town, and she and the salon owner had discussed the situation and found my behavior "suspicious". Something to do with Valentine's day, whatever that means...Crazy, unfounded gossipy behavior. She again told me she would send me a partial refund. That was Feb 18th and I'm still waiting. (Actually not.) She also told me to "keep this between myself and her". I can completely understand her wanting to keep this wacky business to herself. It left me feeling creepy and so glad I don't have to deal with women like this on a daily basis. Suspiciously I paid her cash, so I don't understand that accusation. And she needs to look up the legal definition of slander. I wish i could put negative stars....hahahaha. Pardon the pun Starr! read more
