I went to Spa Restoration Head Center in Falls Church and honestly it was a really nice experience. It took me a minute to find the place because my GPS was a little off, but it's in that tan/brown building and there's free parking in the back which was super helpful. Mandy greeted me when I walked in and I had my appointment with Kelly. It was my first time doing anything like this so I didn't really know what to expect, but they explained everything before starting which made me feel comfortable. The lymphatic massage at the beginning was actually really relaxing. I didn't realize how much I would like that part. Then they did the scalp treatment and the room was really calm with soft lighting and music. I did the 90 minute bronze session. It included scalp steaming, washing, conditioning, and a really good head massage. They also did a little arm massage which I wasn't expecting. My scalp felt way cleaner after and my hair looked better too. I'd probably go back again.j read more

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. read more

Spa Restoration Center - Day Spas Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

My sister and I came here for the head spa treatment for her birthday. The interior is very clean and has a relaxing vibe. The scalp evaluation might make you a little squeamish if you're easily grossed out, but in my opinion it's worth it to compare it to the results afterward. The massages and shampoo were very relaxing, and the ginger scent from the shampoo added to the experience as well. My hair felt so light afterwards, I couldn't stop touching it and staring at it in the mirror lol. This was a really fun splurge for us, so we'd love to come back! read more

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 :) read more

I had always wanted to do a head spa, and I found this little hidden gem! I did the 90min bronze package with Kelly which consisted of a 60min head spa and a 30 min mini facial. I LOVED everything about this package and would 1000% do it again. The head spa was so relaxing and your scalp with be SQEAKY clean after! The mini facial is incorporate with a mini lymphatic massage which is magical! The next day my coworker told me my face looked less puffy. Who doesn't love to hear that!?! If you need a self care day, add this to the agenda and thank me later read more

10/10, very very good, relaxing and worth it. I feel refreshed and I can't wait to come back

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. read more

Jenny and Amy were amazing! Super relaxing environment and kind staff! Would absolutely come back!

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. read more

It was a great experience. We went with a group of friends and the vibe as soon as you walked in, the way they welcome you and they start your appointment right away it was super nice. I got the scalp diagnoses first which it was detailed what my scalp needed and where it is. Then followed by the massage and scalp treatment which felt amazing. Then we did the scalp diagnostics again and it showed how one treatment it cleared up the scalp dandruff. read more

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. read more

I cannot recommend the head spa experience here enough- it was SO relaxing! My husband and I did the couple's head spa, which was in a private room in the back. The first part was a scalp massage that felt incredible, it honestly felt like it lasted the whole hour. The technicians then spent a good amount of time washing our hair and brushing it in specific directions. The experience also included a brief shoulder/chest massage, and a quick blow dry at the end. My scalp felt incredible and my hair was SO soft afterwards. I had Kelly as my technician, who did an amazing job! I will say that the space is not the most luxurious ever- we could hear some talking in other rooms and the door opening/closing a few times, and the head spa machines made a few noises over the course of the treatment. There is a machine in the waiting room where you can see your scalp before and after treatment with a camera wand- we got to do it before but not after our treatment (which was a little bit of a bummer). I would definitely still recommend the experience and know I will be returning! read more

They told $99 dollars but it ended up being &119 because we paid with cash which i find it too expensive - 20% charge for cc? Make it look like regular price but passing it as expense?...looks too fishy to me... read more

my first time trying this and i was able to schedule an appointment fast! I cannot wait to go back. the ladies that helped us were very nice and the experience was very relaxing. read more

I went with my Boyfriend for our 2 year anniversary and we felt RELAXED! The environment, service and experience was something we will never forget read more

Kelly was amazing and she did a great job. I left feeling so relaxed and the hour flew by. I wished I did 100 minutes instead of 60. It helps doing the 10 min massage before the scalp massage. It gets you ready for the relaxing hour. read more

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. read more

Spa Restoration Center - Massage area - Day Spas Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Pros: I really love this experience, and I found it incredibly relaxing. I don't live in this area so I won't be back to this location but I like the experience so much that I will seek out more scalp spas when I travel. My friend and I had very different experiences of this place. I thought it was very clean. She did not. I am a certified lymphedema therapist and so I knew what to expect. I understood exactly which lymph nodes they were going for during the massage. she found it unfamiliar and scary. Cons: as someone who suffers from really bad dandruff if I was hoping this would help it. It did not ever since I did this. My hair has not been the same. It gets so dry and I have all these knots. my friend really hated it. She said she won't be coming back here. But she is willing to try other places in the future. read more

Took my sister here for her birthday and gave her the diamond package. We had seen a lot of videos on TikTok and were so excited to try it out. The minute we went in it smelled like pee. I checked in and they had my sister moved to three different rooms like if they did not know where to put her. And then I reminded them that she has a diamond package. The lady told me "why didn't you tell us?" Like if it was my job to remind them when she should have known once I checked her in? Once they found out, she was a diamond package. They completely changed the way they treated us and said they will put her in the best room to take care of her. My sister enjoyed part of the massage /treatment but definitely does not recommend doing it for three hours as it is overstimulating. Towards the end, they blow dry your hair and show you your scalp. They do a very basic blow dry with their hands. She told them to stop so that she could properly wash and do her hair at home. If you come to this location, I recommend only doing the hour massage or a smaller package and not have them blow dry your hair. read more

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. read more

Wonderful head spa! Tried the basic $79 scalp massage with shampoo/conditioner and neck and shoulder massage. Reina my therapist was excellent: kind, conscientious and considerate asking if pressure and water were to my liking. I was concerned the products (ginger mint sh/cond) would be too drying for my frizzed-out hair, but the tingly sensation was so soothing and went perfectly w massage and water flowing from all around my head and chest. I brought my own hair oil but they had their own products as well. They will dry your hair after too! The $79 is discounted as they are just opened but prices may go up soon. Will definitely book my next one and they encourage cash for both payment and tips. Would recommend and definitely return to try scalp/massage/facial combo! read more

got a 60 min scalp massage for $80. It was a wonderful experience! The ladies working here are super kind and the facility is clean, tidy, warm and comfortable. The bed was relaxing and there's an integrated sink so get your head gets washed and massaged all in one sitting. Definitely going back to try their other massages. Their couples specials are priced affordable too. read more

Kelly is phenomenal. Dinging one start because the reservation/booking system here sucks. You can't book with a specific technician online - you can request it in the notes, but last time I did that, they gave me someone else. And no one ever answers the phone so there's no person available to book you with the tech you prefer. Wish they'd fix this.. read more

Oh what do I say?.... For 1 we called in advance to make sure they had availability & price and they gave us a late appointment; they took long to attend us. 2nd, they told us it would be $79 each for cash over the phone; and $99 with card... Once service was done, and we paid. We gave her a tip and she expected more... Pretty much charging us $99 each. (Mind you we came with CASH) So we paid it and they expected more.... Would never come here again! Will look for elsewhere where they aren't money hungry! Oh! & Massage was ok 2 out of 5,.. read more

Went in for a Bronze package head spa/facial yesterday. 25-30 min into the service, the steamer machine spewed boiling hot water on to the back of my neck and left me with burn scars. What's worse is that the ladies admitted to knowing the machine was faulty and blamed the incident on it saying they won't use it next time. I went in for a nice time and instead it cost me 2 days of work and an awful lot of pain. Needless to say, I don't recommend the place. read more

My friend and I scheduled the scalp herbal treatment and it was fantastic. Nancy and Mandy quickly evaluated our scalp, hair, and skin to ensure we received the best hair mask and treatment for our condition. Then they walked us through the process. You also receive a back massage, shoulder massage, neck massage and a head massage. The mint ginger hair ask smells so good. It was very relaxing! If you like the feeling of someone playing with your hair, this is for you! Facility is clean and nice. Parking: there is a parking lot in the back of the building. read more

My friend and I booked a couple's head spa at Spa Restoration. First impression was very friendly! Yasmin at the front was so nice and welcoming. She gave us the rundown on what to expect. She scanned our scalps before our Head Spa treatment. We were able to see so much dryness and buildups on our scalps. Then we went into the room. The vibes were VIBING! The room was clean, table was comfortable, music was perfect, and the projector with the northern lights were *chef's kiss*. My masseuse did a really great job massaging my head and neck! I was super relaxed and comfortable the whole time. after the treatment, we got our hair dried and they scanned our scalps again. We were able to see how much clearer, more moist, and less buildup! Overall, we had a great experience. Would definitely go back again! read more

Great service, I enjoyed it. They were very kind and the massage was very comfortable and they checked in about the pressure, temperature, etc read more

I was so excited for the head spa as I love getting my head massaged during shampooing at a hair salon. I signed up for a 60-minute head spa. The good: the massage of my face, head, neck, shoulders, and arms was delightful. My hair and scalp has never been so clean. The room had a nice ambiance and the location is easy to find with parking. The bad: the water smelled of sulfur(!!) and I wish the hair treatment could be customizable to my scalp needs. Verdict: Did I enjoy it, yea (in a squeaky voice). Would I go again, probably not. Would I try another head spa, absolutely! read more

Had a great, relaxing experience when I got the 60 min head spa session. My hair and scalp have never felt better!! JFYI, the blow dry at the end is not a blow out, so if you have curly hair, prepare! Can't wait to visit again, highly recommend! read more

I'm giving Spa restoration center a four out of five stars because they did do exactly what they promote which is an Asian spa head massage. However, it wasn't as relaxing or luxurious as I was hoping for. The machine they use was louder than expected (unless mine was broke) at certain times so it was hard to fully relax and it does speak randomly in Japanese or Korean. The head massage feels great and they do it for a long time. The only thing I would change is that they massage the front of your next with the water and I didn't see the point in that. Water was just going on my face. That I felt could be left out or massaged with oil instead of water. The staff is super friendly and nice. Even though it's not a high end spa, it was very clean and welcoming. It's a good price point so def worth trying out. read more

Spa Restoration Center - This is where your head lays and the water comes out. - Day Spas Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Had an amazing experience at my head spa appointment! I've been to other spa/ treatments in Asia and this one is on par with them including the price. Everyone was friendly and you can tell they work hard and care about the quality of the service. My scalp felt clean and my body felt relaxed and less tense. I would totally recommend this place to friends and will likely be a regular here. If this spot was closer to a metro station/more metro accessible, I could imagine it to be even more popular. read more

I agree with all the reviews that say this place is just eeehhh.... It's good but not great and def you get what you pay for...I'll start with the bad and end with the good.. The bad: -I had questions over the sanitation after being there. The steam machine for your face was gross looking- you can see the water and filter and it was very brown and gross looking. -not really sure about brushes being sanitized between heads-round scrub brush was just in the basin that they wash your hair in. However at the end when they blow dry your hair, the combs and brushes come from a sanitation machine. -I didn't see any certifications for the work being done there; like when you go to a nail salon, a hair salon, or a massage parlor and the certs from the workers or company are on the wall publicly for everyone to see -the pre-showing of my scalp and post showing of my scalp, the wand didn't seem to be cleaned between the person before me and person after me but my scalp was on point -the products that they use on you vs how they advertise is questionable. The hair stuff is not labeled at all (I looked at all the stuff on the cart prior to leaving the room). They show bottles of some kind of ginger stuff that they sell but in the room it's big salon bottles of stuff with no label. The facial was performed with Neutrogena grapefruit scrub and micellar water another woomp woomp moment. The good: I was seen promptly for my appointment and my hair spa lady did a great job. I tipped her well and I paid in cash. I by no means have anything negative to say about the workers. The front desk girl was very nice and inviting. The verdict: This place has so much more potential... it seems and feels like a budget head spa. I fully recognize that some of my bad highlights could have been addressed if I would have asked the questions while I was there. I am not saying it was unsanitary just that it felt a little icky for the above reasons. I wouldn't go back but I would tell friends to give it a try bc I can sometimes be more picky than others. read more

So relaxing that I fell asleep and booked again the following week. I love that they use a camera to look at your scalp before and after. Love this spa! read more
