I've been looking forward to trying this place and my friend had given me a gift card for my birthday. Pros: - Lots of parking and easy to find location - ambiance is relaxing as soon as you enter the door. It's gorgeous inside with bright lighting, comfy chairs, lots of plants, clean, relaxing sounds, and that fresh spa scent - the staff that greeted me was so polite and took the time to explain how everything worked. She guided me through the scalp screen, offered me a complimentary beverage, and when she walked me to my spa room, she explained all the steps which made me feel so comfortable and welcomed. - the spa bed is heated so it's extremely cozy and you instantly start feeling relaxed. - I booked my treatment with Becca and she was so sweet and gentle. It is tough to be able to massage someone's head while also being precise with how you shampoo, condition, massage, towel wrap someone while working through an area where pain tolerance can be low. Becca did an amazing job. I didn't feel any tugging or pulling and my scalp has never felt so clean ! The 60 min package also came with a face/neck massage which released some pressure points. - during the blow dry, Becca was really charming and easy to talk to and the blow dry went by super quick. Cons: I really didn't have any. Great location and I hope to come back again. read more

Came here for the first time today with a friend, we booked the paired 60 min deep scalp treatment for 2 people (you do it side by side in the same room for a shared experience). We booked a couple weeks ahead of time beforehand and did the 2pm appointment on a Tuesday. Price was $112 per person online (before tip, I think with a discount that is going on right now?), but if you pay with cash after your appointment, they do give you a 5% discount (we got $15 off per person because I think it was from the original non-discounted price). They let you tip either with card or cash afterwards and put it in an envelope for the person who helped you. They said they've only been open 1.5 years ish which is pretty impressive! Pros: - SUPER easy and available parking, very easy to get to from the East Bay - Extremely relaxing - the ambiance was very clean with lots of plants, really chill music. I almost fell asleep during my treatment because it was so calm. - The treatment was great - my scalp felt super rejuvenated, and I could see on the ipad camera they used that it was super gunky before and so much cleaner afterwards. - They did a full 50 mins of: a short scalp massage, a really deep clean of my hair and scalp, and also a short neck massage and upper shoulders massage. There's also a 10 min blow dry at the end that felt pretty good - my hair was so soft and smelled really good - I like that they don't talk to you too much during the treatment so you can really relax and shared quiet experience with your friend! - Lots of available appointments from morning all the way to like 7pm, which is really helpful on a weekday if you want to go after work! - Gave us complimentary drink when we walked in - They were super communicative as the appointment came closer to the date. - A lot of gen-Z workers but don't be scared, everyone was pretty kind and professional lol Cons: - The only thing that I thought was weird was that I didn't see them clean the little camera probe thing between showing my friend her scalp and mine - but maybe it's because it was before our treatments and we were clean after? idk Overall we had a fantastic experience here and I want to come back for the 90 min treatment! For the discounted price right now it's a pretty good bang for your buck (not as cheap as SoCal, but cheaper than other place like Scalp suite that charge $130 or more. read more

I've wanted to try a head/scalp spa treatment for a while. On IG and TikTok, I've seen good reviews. The Velvet Head Spa in Livermore caught my eye. So I made an appointment and I'm quite pleased! Courtney was assigned to me. Her scalp massage and treatment were relaxing and top-notch! It included a blow dry so I walked out with bright, shiny hair that feels so healthy!! I highly recommend The Velvet Head Spa for the value, vibe and excellent results! I'll be back. Thank you! read more

Wowowow!!! My best friend gave me a gift certificate here and I was too happy to book an appt and go! I've seen Velvet Head Spa pop up on my Instagram feed a few times and was THRILLED when they announced the opening of their Livermore location. First off, the website was super easy to navigate and I booked a 60 min deep scalp therapy along with a 25 min acupressure facial massage. My appt was scheduled for 11am on a Saturday, and I arrived at 10:50am - I like to be early. I was greeted with warm ambiance and very nice aesthetics. The young lady at the front desk was warm, helpful and inviting. She offered me a drink, and they have options (non alcoholic and such). She took a scalp analysis, showing me what my scalp looks like close up - super interesting, but also kind of gross. Lol!!I waited a few minutes and was shown to the treatment room. My technician was Kevin. He was amazinggg! I loved every part of my services enough to fall asleep. I was fading in and out of sleep because it was so comforting. After my service, I was taken to a common area where Kevin dried and styled my hair. The products that were used smelled so good! Then the young lady from the front showed me my scalp after the treatments. OMG, the difference!!!!! My scalp never felt cleaner, my hair was incredibly smooth and overall a wonderful experience! I look forward to coming back!!! read more

5 stars for the service and products--and another 5 stars for the facility! The space is absolutely stunning: clean, serene, and thoughtfully designed, with easy parking and a convenient location. I booked the 90-minute full treatment with Courtney, and it was totally worth it. From the gentle facial and soothing mask to the upper back, arm, scalp, and hair massage--it was pure bliss. Honestly, the best I've experienced in this area. The products are all organic, beautifully fragrant, and they even use a heated blanket during the massage, which adds an extra layer of comfort. I left feeling like I just walked out of a shampoo commercial--my hair looked bouncy, shiny, and healthy. They also offer complimentary drinks before, during, and after your session, which is such a thoughtful touch. I'm seriously considering their monthly membership. And to all the moms out there: you deserve this level of care and pampering. It's relaxation, rejuvenation, and a little hair magic--all in one. read more

Omg the best experience ever! My mom and sister treated me for my birthday with the 90 minute signature and I could not recommend it enough! The experience was amazing. The staff was so friendly and the ladies that did our massage and scalp treatment were great. I feel so relaxed and my hair/scalp is so clean and soft. The vibe is so relaxing, and they even offer complimentary drinks. I will definitely be back and add this into my self care routine! read more

Just had a wonderful signature head spa with Becca! Booking a same day appointment over the phone was easy. Finding the salon in the plaza was even easier - plus plenty of parking :) Becca did an excellent job on all parts of the service: back massage, facial, face massage, head spa, and blow dry. Such a relaxing time that I'll admit I fell asleep for a bit during the face massage lol. Becca was very kind and I enjoyed chatting with her throughout the visit. Would definitely recommend for anyone whose scalp needs attention or just wants a relaxing self-care day :) read more

**BLUF:** The receptionist could benefit from additional customer service training to enhance compassion and professionalism. The head scalp portion was nice and relaxing, but I had some concerns about the cleanliness of their hair brushes. ------------------------------------------ I really wanted to rate this experience higher, but unfortunately, my initial interaction with the receptionist made things a bit stressful. When I called to inform them I was running late due to an unforeseen medical reason, I felt rushed and she cut me off while explaining. A bit more understanding would have gone a long way. That said, they were able to reschedule us for the next day, which I appreciated. Upon arrival, we were greeted, but the warmth didn't last long. I recognized the receptionist's voice from the call, and while she did offer us drinks, she seemed unsure of the available options. I later noticed a wider selection in the fridge that wasn't offered to us, which was a small but noticeable detail. Additionally, her casual attire of sweat pants and a crop top showing her belly didn't quite fit the polished spa environment I expected. The service itself was quite relaxing--the facial and back massage were wonderful. However, the music in our room stopped playing, which impacted the ambiance. It took some time before I asked about it, and while my girl was very kind, she hadn't noticed. It turned out to be an internet issue, and thankfully, the music eventually came back on. As for the hair portion, I have curly hair and was given a diffusing treatment, but it left my hair poofy and frizzy. I wasn't sure if they offered a blow-dry option, as that wasn't communicated. Another concern was the brushes--I noticed one sitting in a box on the counter with other hair stuff, rather than in a visible sterilizer, which I've seen at other head spas. This was my first time at this particular spa but my third head spa experience, so I was hoping for a bit more attention to cleanliness. I did not use the brush in the box. When it was time to review my scalp post-treatment, the receptionist came over before my hair was fully dry and seemed eager to move things along with my girl. I also noticed that the device used to check mine and hubby's scalps wasn't wiped down between uses. At checkout, I was surprised that rather than being asked about our experience, the first question was about tipping 18 or 20% today. I was taken aback by the blunt question. While I always plan to tip for good service, it would have been nice to have a moment to reflect on our visit first. Overall, there were definitely relaxing and enjoyable aspects to the service, but I feel that with some improvements in customer service, hygiene practices, and attention to detail, this spa could provide an even better experience. read more

I did the 60 minute scalp treatment and facial massage, and absolutely loved it. I've been apprehensive about trying this service because many times they don't work as well for Black hair (I have locs), or the technicians aren't as confident dealing with textured hair. I needn't have worried! Service was fantastic and so relaxing. I don't use a lot of product but appreciated that they had something suitable for me and enjoyed the post session diffusing session as well. My scalp feels so refreshed and light. I'll be back! read more

I'm not exaggerating--this was hands down one of the best experiences I've ever had! I booked a 60-minute deep scalp treatment with Becca, and now I'm completely hooked. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted warmly, and within a minute of sitting down, they performed a scalp health screening. The results were completely different from what I expected, making this not just a relaxing experience but an educational one too. Becca was amazing--gentle yet with just the right amount of pressure for total relaxation. This was my Valentine's gift from my husband, and now I want it for every holiday! Next time, I'm definitely upgrading to the 90-minute session. read more

I had such an amazing experience! I took the day off and decided to treat myself for my birthday by finally doing a scalp treatment and facial which I've never done before. My friend and I were greeted immediately and we thought the reception area was the most adorable thing ever. It was so cute! We were offered complimentary drinks which we loved! And while we waited, the receptionist showed us what the current condition our scalp was in. My scalp had a lot of oil buildup and discoloration so that was the main focus for today's visit. We were taken into a room where we were told we can take our shirts off or if we were wearing a tank top we can just put it off our shoulders and then we got under the covers. The bed table thing was heated for us and we were given pillows to put under our knees to feel more comfortable. We started with the facial and my girl Teresa was so good with her hands that she put me to sleep! I was in an out or sleep that I vaguely remember the whole experience lol. I've never had a facial before but it felt like a lot of moisturizing, mask, and massaging to my face which I actually enjoyed. The hair washing and waterfall shower felt like heaven. After blow drying my hair, I definitely felt like my scalp felt healthier, and my skin was glowing even more. The oil buildup was gone and there was some color to my scalp! There's a promotion/discount going right now so I paid $128 for a 60 minute scalp treatment and facial. But honestly I think the whole experience lasted 1.5 hours. I am definitely coming back! read more

I just had my appointment today and good LaWD! It feels like the headache I have had for 20 years melted away! Phoebe did an amazing job relaxing the years of stress away.

I got the deep scalp therapy, a moisturizing hair mask, and the acupuncture facial massage and everything felt amazing. The scalp treatment was so relaxing I almost knocked out, and my hair felt way softer after the mask. The facial massage was different but in a good way, left my face feeling really refreshed. Whole vibe was calm, nothing felt rushed, just a really solid experience overall. Definitely going back. read more

Would definitely come again! Took my girlfriend for her birthday for her first head spa and would come back! read more

Service was great, friendly, and clean. I'd definitely go back. Highly recommend the signature velvet treatment. read more

The place is very welcoming when you get in. Love how clean it is and the vibe is perfect for a spa day for your hair. I went here with my sister and the price for each service is fairly represented. The scalp and facial massage were so relaxing. I appreciated how our services happened all in the same room. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because there isn't much airflow when getting your back massaged. You're basically face down into the sink during this part of the service, so you're not able to breathe fresh air during the back massage. Other than that, everything else was great. read more

Great quality experience ! It was amazing vibe here, lovely environment and amazing people.

Velvet Head Spa - Reception area - Day Spas Near Me - Livermore, California

I reaaaaally wanted to love this place but there were a few cleanly items that concerned me. First was that the camera that they put up against everyone's head to show your pores wasn't wiped down or cleaned after each use on a person. I feel like that's a potential for things to get spread from head to head. Secondly, when going into the room and getting ready to lay down I noticed hair from a previous treatment still in the sink and that gave me the ick. The treatment itself felt really good but those 2 things took away stars for me. read more

If I could give you all ten stars I would! Hands down the most luxurious and relaxing experience I have ever had in my entire life.

Benny was so gentle and thorough! I will definitely be returning and gifting this treatment for my loved ones read more

Was not a great experience for my son and also there was a mix up about the prize. Not what it was actually advertised.

This experience fixed me! Wow you really don't realize how much tension and stress we hold in the scalp and face. I had a 60 min service gifted to me by my sons father and I think that is the perfect timeframe. I have never dozed in and out of a service before & I think I did 3 times during the service haha- thank you Janelle! She has the perfect firm pressure and a smooth flow of work ethic. I was welcomed with a choice of beverage and felt valued the moment I walked in. The space is beautiful, airy and clean. I am definitely looking into my next booking. Thank you so much! read more

It wasn't what I expected at all. Brought my mother in law and sister here for Christmas presents, the girl who was treating me had gloves on which doesn't feel the same as bare hands. She also didn't speak English so I couldn't communicate with her and had to get someone to translate. There was barely any massage at all like you see videos of. I thought it was scalp massage but it was not. Waste of money. I gave it 2 stars for cleanliness and try to support small businesses but I'm sorry this place is just not it! read more

This is my second time and I love it. Courtney was so amazing she was gentle when she needed to be but the massage was perfect

Went with 3 other friends and had such a nice time. If you get the facial massage do not wear any makeup! My hair felt so soft and silky and I unfortunately forgot the name of my lady but she almost made me fall asleep with her magical hands! read more

Great experience and so relaxing! We got the Velvet Signature package that included a massage, hair wash, blow dry for my bf and I and it was amazing! read more

I've been here a few times and they were all 9/10. All the ladies have been good but today, I got this gentleman (I think his name was Binny or Benny) and he did a PHENOMENAL job. I had some restrictions and he did a great job respecting my wishes!! 10/10 massage, 20/10 facial, and 20/10 scalp spa!! He was a bit quiet which is OK bc I get some people are more shy but zero complaints about his work. I hope he received all the TIP I gave him because the initial cost the front desk lady gave me, was different from the emailed receipt I got so I was a bit confused when I left. I wish I would have handed the cash tip to him directly so in all fairness, I hope management gives him the full tip he's supposed to get. read more

I really enjoyed my experience here. I booked on Friday for a Saturday appointment and seeing the appointment from their website was quick and easy. After check in, they give you a real close look at your scalp and tell you the possible concerns you could be experiencing. Mine was oily since it was a hair wash day anyway lol, but her analysis was spot on. I got The Getaway package, which was a facial massage and scalp treatment. The room is relaxing, with spa music, and heated table. The facial/face massage was like gua sha/lymphatic drainage and the product they use left my skin smooth, soft, and glowing. Make sure you already have some moisturizer and chapstick on too. The head washing and massaging was so relaxing! I like that they didn't go light on the massaging. It was a perfect amount of pressure. This is definitely something I see myself doing like every other month, and I'll probably get the Velvet Signature package next time so that I can try the upper back massage too! I didn't get the front lady's name but she was nice, and Nenna provided the excellent service. read more

I especially enjoyed the back massage, working tension out all the way to the tips of my fingers. The head/scalp massage & treatment left our hair softer than it's ever been! I've had alot of massages in the past & this was by far my most enjoyable & relaxing one I've ever experienced! I will definitely come back & I can't wait! read more
