    Came again and it was long overdue! I have been so busy since my last visit, but I finally came back today for the Japanese purifying scalp treatment. My therapist, Summer, is amazing. She remembered me and carefully examined my scalp, then clearly explained how I should take care of it. The treatment was so relaxing that I actually fell asleep. It is truly the best scalp treatment in the Bay Area. You have to try it and book with Summer. She is the best!

    My best friend treated my sister and I to a head spa for our birthday and it was such a stress-free experience booking at this place! It was awesome that they had a dual room to do the head treatment. When my sister and I came in, they used the probe to look deeply into our scalp and because my sister needed extra attention, we opted into the more expensive Japanese treatment. Summer did my head spa, she was really nice and loved her techniques! 75 minutes went by so quickly. They took us to our room where we got comfortable and I was very impressed with how clean everything was. There was a neck massage and she placed an eye mask on me. I was so relaxed and my scalp has never looked better! She used distention combs and brushes and the face massage was also really nice. She blow dryed my hair with a Dyson and straightened my bangs because they got really curly. I ended up getting membership and will be returning with my sister for another head spa treatment!

    After picture - so nice and clean!

    I came here yesterday for a Japanese purifying scalp treatment. The first floor is the picture and styling area, while the second floor has the treatment rooms. I was the only one getting a treatment at that time so the whole place was quiet and calm with soft music playing in the background. The ladies were all nice and friendly I have psoriasis on my scalp and it's been feeling extra dry and itchy lately so I needed a refresh (as well as booking an appt at my derm). Annie took pictures of my scalp, while another lady also looked at the pictures and noticed my sleep has been off based on how dry my scalp was. Annie did my scalp treatment. She had great pressure during the scalp and neck/shoulder massage. She was gentle but effective when using tools on my scalp. The 'waterfall' was as relaxing as I hoped it would be. I do wish I could hear the music better, especially when she's not running water. I think it would be even more relaxing. My scalp felt so clean after and the pictures proved it! It was shiny and there wasn't dandruff built up. I would definitely come back and also get the facial next time!

    Easy to make appointments online. They have a room for 2 people and it was 20% for first time visit this month. Had no idea what to expect. I usually don't do things like this. It was a wonderful experience. Walked in a little early and they were ready for us. We sat in the 2 chairs next to each other and they did the photos of our scalp, looking so close at your scalp is pretty cool. Then you go inside the room to change out of your top and put on their wrap. They do an hour of scalp treatment and massage on shoulders, head and neck. Then they blow dry and do the photos of your scalp again. The before and after pictures are so cool! Annie and Angela were great and we will come back. Thank you!!

    I was in the area for work and forgot to pack my hair products (hotel conditioners don't cut it for me). I have fine, wavy hair and I've been two DIFFERENT head spa I went to in the US and two in India that had no idea how to handle my hair. I saw all the good reviews here and that they offer multiple services so I figured this would hopefully be better. And it was! I got the Korean treatment because I liked that it came with a massage. I'd say the massage had moments of light pressure and harder pressure; if you want light pressure only be sure to tell them (Annie asked me if I was okay with it). Annie and I chatted a bit during the initial scalp review where i mentioned once I liked to keep my hair more natural/not straightened. When she was doing the end styling, she remembered that and didn't straighten my hair (first time a head spa has done that). And while we first looked at my scalp, I was telling her I had dry hair and she agreed. So during my hair treatment she let the hair mask sit for a good chunk of time. There was another client who had much curlier hair than me and he also seemed pleased with his service, but I would call ahead to talk to them on how you want your hair done. Annie was very communicative and open to discussion. Products were high quality and they dried my hair with a Dyson hair wrap. Because this was treatments focused, there wasn't a lot of time remaining for drying/styling so if that's important to you, I'd mention it (it wasn't to me so I was fine with it). I don't live in the area, but highly recommend it to people who do. I'm so glad I finally went to a head spa that didn't straighten my hair, had diffusers, and knew to add some oil at the end to make sure my hair stayed hydrated for longer. This wasn't an issue for me, but their treatment area is upstairs so be careful if you have mobility issues. Otherwise can't recommend this place enough!

    I had an excellent experience at Transforms Head & Beauty Spa with Annie, the Head Therapist. She started out with analyzing my hair- I had just taken a shower, so my scalp was clean with the exception of a few dry flakes! There were no angry red patches, which she informed me can be caused by restlessness/poor sleep quality. Overall she said my scalp and hair was healthy, even the bleached portions of it (since I have partial highlights). I initially booked the Korean hair care treatment but decided to upgrade to the Japanese purifying scalp treatment since they mentioned that the hair product being used penetrates the hair strand and follicle a lot deeper than the Korean product. It was also around 15 minutes longer and cost $30 more, I wasn't in a rush so I decided to go for it. She started off with a deep scalp massage to increase bloodflow and worked her way down to my shoulders with massage oil, asking if I was comfortable the entire time and if she needed to go lighter or harder on the pressure. She then put a self-heating eye mask over my eyes, it was so comfortable! She proceeded to work all the scalp product into my hair. The water got on my eye mask and it got a bit soggy, but that wasn't a big deal. She then asked me how I wanted to style my hair, straight or curly. I opted for curly and I love it! She proceeded to style my hair with the Dyson Airwrap. They've stayed intact for over a day and are so cute. I would definitely come back here if I had time. The women here speak Cantonese and Mandarin and are incredibly friendly.

    Huge shoutout to Annie & Amelie for their fantastic work! Me and my friend signed up for their Japanese scalp treatment and facial. We were taken into a private room and changed. They were extremely helpful in setting us up and communicative about their pressure when scrubbing our heads. My head felt super light and refreshing afterward. We both analyzed our scalps before and the after results were astonishing. (pic included) Definitely recommend anyone who is in need of any treatments for scalps or facials!!

    I treated my best friend to a Korean scalp treatment for her birthday. I am so glad I did! The place is so clean and has relaxing music playing the entire time. The customer service here was amazing! The ladies here are so nice and really take care of you. Since I signed up for a dual treatment, my best friend and I were able to be in the same room. The pressure for the massage was perfect. The scalp treatment was so relaxing. The feeling of having your head massaged and the washing of your hair with warm water is such a luxurious experience. The analysis done had a great explanation and the before-and-after photos are great so you can see the difference the treatment does. My hair and scalp were so clean after! After you're done they blow dry and then give you the option if you want to straighten or curl your hair. Ask if they have any promos going on. The pricing is what brought me thru the door, but the service is what made me sign up for membership. Will definitely be coming back again! I recommend to anyone who is trying out for the first time or even a repeat person.

    I went with a friend, so it was nice being able to do it side by side in their spacious room. The experience was really relaxing, and the staff were super friendly. My friend even ended up signing up for a membership. I've only tried one other head spa before, but this one felt like a much better experience - it was more than just a hair wash. I actually got a really good massage, too!

    There is street and garage parking nearby. I have passed this place many times going to Pilates. I been to a head spa before, but love how convenient and close this location is. I had an amazing experience at the Korean head spa! The scalp massage was incredibly relaxing, and the deep cleansing treatment left my scalp feeling fresh and rejuvenated. The whole atmosphere was soothing, and the attention to detail was fantastic. It's the perfect way to unwind and treat yourself - my partner and I left feeling completely refreshed and loved seeing the scalp analysis afterwards! Highly recommend! Currently there is a promo going on for 2 scalp treatments for $169. Perfect time to check it out with a friend.

    Transforms isn't just used in their name, you really do feel better about yourself afterwards. I had booked a facial for my mother for her bday present and had opted for a scalp therapy session for myself. The entire experience from start to finish was delightful and I'd highly suggest a visit if you're contemplating it. Located in Downtown San Mateo, this Spa is easy to come to and in a great area - once you're complete with your session you can easily walk around and grab a bite to eat. Parking is all along the streets and metered. The inside of this place was cozy and inviting. They have water bottles and madeline cookies on the table for guests to take. After confirming our services, they took my mom upstairs for her facial and I stayed downstairs to start my scalp therapy. I won't go into step-by-step details about the service, but I will say that the before and after of my scalp was eye opening and I truly felt like this experience was well worth the money. My mom also had a great time conversing with her person during her facial as they all spoke mandarin and that allowed her to be comfortable. It is expensive, but I feel for what you're getting it's well worth the money and it's nice to treat yourself once in a while.

    They're currently doing a holiday promo of a dual Korean scalp treatment for $169 and it's an absolute steal. It's very cheap compared to its local competitors. The store is very modern, clean, and well decorated for the holidays. We worked with Annie and Amelie and although both speak English well (Amelie moderately better than Annie's), I do think that you would benefit the most if you spoke Mandarin. They gave me a very detailed explanation of my scalp's condition and what they recommended I do to improve my scalp quality. The treatment itself was 60 minutes including a face massage, neck and shoulder massage, head massage, shampoo twice, conditioner, and wrapping it up with a small back massage. Afterwards, they blow dry your hair and even curl your hair for you if you want. They do a final scalp analysis and you can truly see the difference before and after.

    Such an amazing experience! Summer was wonderful and very kind. I kept trying to keep myself from falling asleep it was so relaxing. Highly recommend.

    From start to finish, everyone we spoke to and received spa services from was amazing…read more My sister opted for a spa day before her wedding instead of doing a bachelorette party. Her only request was a hydro facial and deep tissue massage at the same place. I found this spa offered both services and my mom and I decided to take her here. My mom called to schedule the services and I called for more information about facials and recommendations for my eczema and sensitive skin. I found out the day we requested might not have an esthetician available, but Jenny and Tiffany texted us and really helped try to find a good time and day that would work. They figured out how to schedule both sets of services so they would work with just one esthetician and made it feel very smooth. I ended up getting the City Life facial with Kim plus the lymphatic drainage add on. She was wonderful!! From start to finish, I knew I was in great care. I also got a deep tissue massage with Sammy and she was just as wonderful. I left feeling incredibly relaxed and I know my sister did too. She said she fell asleep during her massage ‍ Thank you for all your help and care!

I was offered water and restroom prior to beginning my forms. There is a waiting room with leather and wood elements. Which I love! Unfortunately the restrooms are shared with other businesses and required you to go out of the establishment and into a shared hallway. I was walked to my room for an intake, and reviewed the forms for clarity. The table was nice and warm. Linens were clean and laundered. There are robes available for you to change into along with a bench and bask for your belongings. I had a massage from Luis. Asked for a blend. Firm pressure on back and shoulders and medium to light everywhere else. He absolutely did just that. My hour session seems like it was a 90. He focused on areas I requested and often checked if pressure was okay. I originally request for a scalp treatment with my 60 which would make it a 90 minute session. However, it was somehow booked incorrectly. I didn't make a fuss of it. But Luis did provide a decent scalp massage during the 60. I added in the lemon grass and coconut oil. I definitely will be booking with Luis again! And will double check to make sure my booking is correct. Would highly recommend booking with him!

    Amazing service and an introverts dream…read more I've had about 15 massages here. Only 1 massage therapist spoke more than 2 words to me. All of them simply do a light rub down and then immediately pin point my troubleshoots and get to work fixing them. I've had knots in my upper back, a pinched nerve in my glute, and a variety of aliments. They are able to figure out exactly the problem just by touch. It's amazing! And I don't have to deal with small talk when I'm there to try to get fixed up and am in a bad mood. But I always leave in a great mood! I also love how they have the tip suggestions posted based on time which makes it very easy to calculate especially since they are great at giving lots of good deals so it can be confusing calculating. One of my favorite things is that they accommodate last minute appointments. I find it very hard to schedule anything in advance. I consider this place an important need for my health, and am happy to be able to afford to come here and tip well without braking the bank. They have great prices and give deals if you purchase a package. Some parts are not the most fancy....but I'd much rather have massages that I can afford on a regular basis than go somewhere more pristine and only be able to go 1-2 times a year. Also the front desk woman has always been very professional and kind, even when I'm running late.

    TRIGGER WARNING: SA…read more My boyfriend specifically requested a female massage therapist for me when booking due to prior trauma. I was surprised when I was assigned a male therapist while my boyfriend was assigned a female therapist. I did not realize this until after they started massaging us. During the massage, the therapist began massaging and touching my glute area without my consent, which made me extremely uncomfortable. It was difficult for me to speak up in the moment, but I eventually worked up the courage to ask whether we could switch therapists. When I raised my concerns, I did not feel that they were taken seriously. They laughed and said "ok" which made me feel dismissed. I left feeling embarrassed and uncomfortable, and I also did not receive any apology for the distress the experience caused me. What was particularly confusing to me was that my boyfriend did not receive any glute massage during his session, so our experiences differed despite being there together. This experience was deeply upsetting for me and brought back memories of prior trauma. While I cannot speak to anyone else's intentions, I can speak to the impact the experience had on me. What should've been a celebration for a special occasion left me feeling distressed, violated, and shaken by what happened. This review reflects my honest recollection of the experience and the impact it had on me, and I stand by it. I am sharing it because customer comfort, boundaries, and therapist preferences matter. I hope future customers who make similar requests have those requests respected and that concerns raised during a session are met with compassion and understanding instead of what I experienced. Note: this was from well over a year ago and I have edited the review to clarify my experience and feelings.

    5/5 - Absolute Perfection for My First Head Spa Experience!…read more I just had my first-ever head spa experience, and I cannot recommend this place enough! I opted for the Full Detox treatment, and it was worth every penny. Here is why this place is a hidden gem: 1. Tailored & Educated Approach: I wanted to learn more about my hair loss, and the staff truly listened to my concerns. They took the time to educate me, explain every product, and give me a realistic guidance plan that I am absolutely going to use. (That said, if you just want to zone out and relax, I'm certain they'd accommodate that too!) 2. Next-Level Relaxation: The service was so incredible and luxurious that I kept falling asleep. They pay attention to the tiniest details, like asking if I wanted my feet covered and providing a perfectly weighted blanket. 3. Private & Cozy Atmosphere: It's a smaller space, but they utilize it beautifully. When a second customer arrived, they seamlessly transitioned us into separate rooms so the experience still felt entirely private and exclusive. 4. Zero Pressure: The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Best of all? They did not try to oversell me on products. The pricing felt completely reasonable and fair for the high quality of service I received. If you're on the fence about booking, just do it. You'll leave feeling relaxed, educated, and pampered!
