There is no single best head spa — there is a best one for what you want from the hour. Among the 12 studios on this list, the most authentic Japanese technique is in Beverly Hills, the lowest prices are in La Mirada and Westminster, and the most reviews are in Orange. If you want a private room for every guest, a suite built for two, the option to reserve the whole studio, a standing weekly special, and a scalp-health protocol that sends you home with a written verdict and a care plan — on the Los Angeles–Orange County line with free parking — that is Lavie Bella Head Spa in Artesia. Every claim on this page is in the table below, with prices and hours you can check.
Best head spa by what you want
- Best overall for a private room, a suite for two, a group buyout and a scalp-health read→ Lavie Bella Head Spa, Artesia
- Most authentic Japanese technique on this list→ Head Spa Nagomi, Beverly Hills
- Lowest price for a full hour→ Little Oasis, La Mirada — $75
- Most reviews→ Blue Moon Head Spa, Orange — 1,241
- Korean-style deep cleanse→ Good Day Head Spa, Koreatown
- Chinese herbal scalp care→ Tou Dao Tang, Artesia
Every line above is checkable in the table below.
As the Los Angeles Times noted when it picked its six best head spas, L.A. had only a handful of them as recently as 2021. Today the map from Santa Monica to Huntington Beach is crowded, and the studios are genuinely different from one another — in technique, in price, in privacy, and in what you walk out with. That is what this page is for: a fair, side-by-side look at 12 of the most popular head spas around Los Angeles and Orange County, ours included.
In Los Angeles proper, Head Spa Nagomi in Beverly Hills is the Zudo Academy-certified Japanese studio; SkinGuru in Santa Monica made the Times list with a one-guest-at-a-time suite; Good Day Head Spa does the Korean-style deep cleanse in Koreatown; and M Head Spa in Rosemead blends Chinese and Japanese technique in the San Gabriel Valley. In our own backyard, Tou Dao Tang does Chinese herbal scalp care a mile away on Pioneer Boulevard, Luvinage in Cerritos pairs head spa with facials and laser under a medical-spa banner, and Little Oasis in La Mirada runs the friendliest price list in this comparison.
Across the county line, Blue Moon Head Spa in Orange is the most-reviewed studio in this comparison by a wide margin, Aroma HeadSpa reaches from Costa Mesa to Laguna Beach, Head Spa Bar sits on Main Street in Huntington Beach, and Zen Head Spa in Westminster offers a Japanese session from $69. Every one of them is worth knowing about.
We think Lavie Bella is the destination of choice for one reason: it is the only studio in this set that gives every guest a private room, has a suite built for two, will close the whole studio for your group, runs a standing weekly special, and treats scalp health as something to read, document and improve — not only soothe. The pamper day is on our menu too. The difference is what you leave with.

Who Each Head Spa Is Best For
A fair word on every studio — what it does well, who should go, and the one thing to know before you book.
Our backyard — Artesia, Cerritos & La Mirada
Lavie Bella Head Spa
4.9 ★ (113)Artesia (LA/OC line)
Second floor of Artesia City Plaza on South Street, two minutes over the LA–OC county line and minutes from the 91 and 605 — with La Tavolata, YGF Malatang and Pirates Kitchen downstairs.
Lavie Bella is a scalp health studio that happens to be a beautiful head spa. Every guest gets a private room. The couples suite runs two synchronized treatments side by side. Groups of five or more get the whole studio to themselves. Tuesday through Thursday, plus weekend mornings and evenings, the Happy Hour for Two turns two 60-minute sessions into one booking. And the Scalp Reset is the results route: an intake questionnaire before the camera comes out, a scope across the eight areas of the scalp, a written Verdict Report, and a take-home care plan — the kind of read you take with you, not just a feeling you leave behind.
- Hours
- Mon–Fri 10 AM–6 PM · Sat–Sun 8 AM–7 PM
- From
- $109 · 60 min Essential (list $145)
Best for: Private rooms at a mid-range price, date nights, group celebrations, and anyone who wants a real read on their scalp — not just an hour of relaxation.
Tou Dao Tang Head Spa
5.0 ★ (127)Artesia
Pioneer Boulevard in the 99 Ranch Market plaza, a few minutes from Little India and about a mile from Lavie Bella.
The closest neighbor in this comparison. Tou Dao Tang pairs traditional Chinese herbal scalp care with modern tools — herbal soaks, a water-flow rinse, high-frequency comb and red-light steps on the longer treatments — and every visit starts with a look at the scalp. The menu runs from a 60-minute new-guest special to two-hour signature treatments, with a 10% discount for groups of four or more.
- Hours
- Mon–Thu 10 AM–7 PM · Fri–Sun 10 AM–8 PM

Best for: Herbal, Chinese-style scalp care close to home, and first visits on the $88 special.
Luvinage Medical Head Spa
4.8 ★ (13)Cerritos
South Street in Cerritos, about half a mile from Lavie Bella and a short drive from Los Cerritos Center.
Luvinage frames its head spa as part of a skin practice: the menu moves from a 45-minute medicated scalp detox to 90-minute dandruff-control and hair-loss treatments, and the same studio offers facials and laser work. Three locations across Cerritos, Garden Grove and Stanton. Guests mention the before-and-after camera shots and the built-in massage beds.
- Hours
- Mon–Sat 9 AM–7:30 PM · Sun 9 AM–6 PM
- From
- $108 · 60 min Minori Essentials ($88 for a 45 min scalp-only detox)
Best for: Pairing a scalp treatment with a facial, or a targeted dandruff or hair-loss session in a medical-spa setting.
Little Oasis Head Spa & Skincare
4.9 ★ (195)La Mirada
Telegraph Road in La Mirada, roughly fifteen minutes north of Artesia.
Little Oasis is the value play, and a well-reviewed one. The 60-minute Oasis session is $75 and already includes a facial and hot-stone arm massage; the 80-minute Luxury adds a foot soak and hair mask for $100; the top tiers layer in gua sha, candle massage, a Vietnamese herbal scalp infusion and a red-light mask. Closed Wednesdays.
- Hours

Los Angeles County
Head Spa Nagomi
5.0 ★ (47)Beverly Hills
South Santa Monica Boulevard, a few blocks from Rodeo Drive and the Beverly Hills Golden Triangle.
Nagomi is the studio for people who want the Japanese head spa as it is practiced in Japan. The team is certified by the Zudo Academy, the 60-minute session opens with shiatsu and closes with an oxygen-infused serum, and the 90-minute Royal and Restorative Root sessions add carbonated treatments, cryotherapy and a deeper scalp consultation. Couples are arranged by request; groups of four or more put down a deposit.
- Hours
- 10 AM–8 PM daily
- From
- $200 · 60 min Head Spa Nagomi
Best for: The most authentic Japanese technique in this comparison — Zudo Academy-certified — with a Beverly Hills price tag.
SkinGuru | ScalpGuru Spa
5.0 ★ (86)Santa Monica
Wilshire Boulevard in Santa Monica, about a mile from the Santa Monica Pier and Third Street Promenade.
SkinGuru is the most private format in this comparison: a single suite, one guest at a time, an esthetician who also runs the HydraFacial side of the business. That is exactly why it made the LA Times list, and exactly why it cannot take two of you at once. Sessions run 45 to 75 minutes and the top tier folds in a mini facial. Limited weekday hours; closed Wednesdays.
- Hours
- Mon, Thu–Fri 11 AM–7 PM · Tue 10 AM–3 PM · Sat 10 AM–4 PM · Sun 11 AM–4 PM · closed Wednesday
- From
- $150 · 45 min Scalp Nirvana Mini
Best for: Total one-on-one privacy on the Westside — if you are going alone.
Good Day Head Spa
4.9 ★ (93)Koreatown, Los Angeles
West 8th Street on the second floor, in the heart of Koreatown.
Good Day is the Korean-style head spa in Koreatown: a deep clean, scalp massage and mask sequence on full-recline massage beds, in a calm K-beauty room. Guests consistently mention the scalp analysis at the start and the free lot. Prices are not published on the website — the menu appears once you open the booking flow. Closed Mondays.
- Hours
- Tue–Sun 10 AM–6 PM · closed Monday
- From
- Not published — menu lives inside the booking page
Best for: Korean-style scalp cleansing in Koreatown, and a parking spot.
M Head Spa
4.9 ★ (71)Rosemead (San Gabriel Valley)
Valley Boulevard in Rosemead, in the San Gabriel Valley about half an hour north of Artesia.
M Head Spa is the San Gabriel Valley entry on the LA Times list, and the most massage-forward studio here: the 90-minute session adds a shoulder massage, and the two-hour programs target tension, thinning and damage with stem-cell and repair treatments. The room is shared, with curtains between stations. Open until 8 every day.
- Hours
- 10 AM–8 PM daily
- From
- $108 · 60 min Viral Scalp Rejuvenation ($138 for 90 min with shoulder massage)
Best for: Massage-heavy sessions and two-hour programs in the San Gabriel Valley.
Orange County
Blue Moon Head Spa
4.9 ★ (1,241)Orange
East Collins Avenue in Orange, about ten minutes from Old Towne Orange and Angel Stadium.
With well over a thousand Google reviews, Blue Moon is the volume leader on this list and has the menu to match: five tiers from a 60-minute Silver to a 130-minute VIP with hot stones, red light, an ear massage and a foot massage. Guests describe a clean, calm room of eight curtained beds and a free parking lot. Open seven days.
- Hours
- 9 AM–7 PM daily
- From
- $120 · 60 min Silver (list $135)
Best for: The big, well-run Orange County operation with the longest menu — if a shared room is fine with you.
Aroma HeadSpa
4.9 ★ (112)Costa Mesa
Harbor Boulevard in Costa Mesa, minutes from South Coast Plaza — with sister locations in Laguna Beach and Lake Forest.
Aroma's Mikazuki menu is built in steps — eight in the Essential, ten in the Premium (which adds a facial and collagen mask), thirteen in the Platinum Elite — and the studio leans into hair-loss and dandruff work as much as relaxation. Three locations from Costa Mesa to the coast, open until 8 every night.
- Hours
- 9 AM–8 PM daily
- From
- $118 · Mikazuki Essential (8 steps)
Best for: Tech-heavy scalp treatments near South Coast Plaza, or a Laguna Beach spa day.
Head Spa Bar
5.0 ★ (108)Huntington Beach
Main Street in downtown Huntington Beach, a few blocks from the pier.
Head Spa Bar sits on Main Street in downtown Huntington Beach and treats scalp care as a method: scalp analysis, exfoliation, red-light oxygen infusion and repair masks over 75 to 120 minutes, with before-and-after photos guests love to post. It is also the only studio here with a session designed for children, and it runs a training academy for other therapists. Prices are on the booking page rather than the website.
- Hours
- 10 AM–7 PM daily
- From
- Not published — Tranquil (75–100 min), Bliss (90–105), Zen (105–120), Petite 45 min for ages 6–12
Best for: Long, results-framed sessions at the beach — and the only kids-specific head spa menu in this comparison.
Zen Head Spa
4.9 ★ (91)Westminster
Brookhurst Street in Westminster, in the heart of Little Saigon.
Of the Orange County studios here, Zen is the easiest door into a Japanese head spa: a 30-minute Essensu for $69, a 45-minute Sakura for $99, and 85- and 100-minute sessions with facials and hot-oil treatments under $140. Shareable five-session packages let a couple or a group redeem together. Appointment only, every day.
- Hours
- 10 AM–7 PM daily, appointment only
- From
- $69 · 30 min Essensu (list $100)
Best for: A quick $69 taste of a Japanese head spa, or shareable packages for regulars.
Six Things You Will Not Find Together Anywhere Else on This List
Each of these is checkable against the table above. Together, they are why guests drive to Artesia from both counties.
A private room for every guest
Several of the busiest studios in this comparison treat guests on curtained beds in one shared room — that is how they serve so many people. At Lavie Bella every session, from the 60-minute Essential up, happens in a private room. Private-room studios elsewhere in this set start at $200 a session; ours starts at $109.
See the treatment menu →The only suite built for two on this list
Most head spas are designed for one guest at a time; the most private studio on this list cannot take two people at once by design. Our couples suite runs two synchronized treatments side by side — Couples Gold is $260 for two, Couples Platinum $310 — and dinner is a staircase away.
Explore couples packages →The only full-studio buyout on this list
Other studios discount groups or take a deposit. We close the doors: from $99 per guest for the 60-minute VIP Group ($125 for the 75-minute Gold Experience), five-guest minimum, the entire studio belongs to your party — robes, snacks, drinks, your playlist, and a complimentary add-on for the guest of honor.
Plan a group reservation →The only standing weekly special on this list
Seasonal promotions come and go across the map. Our Happy Hour for Two is on the calendar every week — Tuesday through Thursday, plus Saturday and Sunday from 8 to 10 AM and 6 to 7 PM — two 60-minute Essential sessions with the scalp-massage add-on included, $220 for two against a $330 anchor.
See the Happy Hour windows →Results, not just relaxation
Every modern head spa has a scalp camera. What no other studio in this comparison publishes is the system around it: an intake questionnaire before the camera comes out, a scope across the eight areas of the scalp, a written Verdict Report of what each area showed, and a take-home care plan. That is the Scalp Reset — $145 for 75 minutes (list $190).
How the Scalp Reset works →The practical stuff
Open at 8 AM on weekends — the earliest in this set. Free parking in front of the building and an elevator thirty feet from our door. Five restaurants downstairs. A team fluent in Vietnamese and English. Online booking with a real calendar, gift cards that deliver in minutes, and a $99-a-month club for regulars.
Directions and parking →Almost Every Head Spa Sells the Pamper Day. We Sell That — and the Reset.
Look down the table and one pattern is obvious: nearly every studio describes the same hour — a scalp look, a cleanse, a massage, a mask, a blow-dry, a very good feeling. That is a real product and we are proud of ours; the Essential, Gold and Platinum Escape are exactly that, in a private room.
But if you came in because something is actually going on — flaking that will not quit, oil that will not balance, more hair in the drain than there used to be — a good feeling is not an answer. The Scalp Reset is: an intake questionnaire before the camera comes out, a scope across the eight areas of the scalp, a treatment built for what we saw that day, and a written Verdict Report with a care plan you take home. Think of it as a facial for your scalp — and a reset for your glow.
We do not diagnose medical conditions; the read is observational, and if anything suggests a medical concern we will say so and point you to a dermatologist. Not sure which route you need? The 60-second scalp quiz is a good first step.
What a Head Spa Costs in Los Angeles and Orange County
$75 – $250
The published range for a 60-minute-class session across the studios above — Little Oasis at $75, Zen at $99 for 45 minutes, M Head Spa and Luvinage at $108, Tou Dao Tang and Aroma at $118, Blue Moon at $120, Nagomi at $200, SkinGuru at $250.
$109
Lavie Bella's 60-minute Essential ($145 list) — lower-middle of the range, and the only one on this list at that price that comes with a private room. Gold is $145 for 75 minutes; Platinum Escape is $175 for 90.
$99/guest
The VIP Group rate with the whole studio reserved (five-guest minimum). For two: Happy Hour for Two at $220, Couples Gold at $260, Couples Platinum at $310. The Scalp Reset is $145.
Two things to weigh beside the sticker price. First, what the number includes — the $200-plus studios are buying you a private room, and the sub-$100 studios are usually shorter sessions or shared floors. Second, whether the studio shows a list price and a real price; Blue Moon, Zen and Lavie Bella all do, so compare the price you will actually pay. Our full menu and add-ons are one click away, and regulars join the Scalp Health Club for $99 a month.

Questions People Ask Before Choosing a Head Spa
What's the best head spa near me?
If you are searching from Artesia, Cerritos, Long Beach, Lakewood, Norwalk, Downey, Buena Park or anywhere near the LA–OC county line, Lavie Bella Head Spa in Artesia City Plaza is the closest studio on this list that gives every guest a private room, has a suite built for two, reserves the whole studio for groups, and ends a Scalp Reset with a written Verdict Report and care plan. Farther out, the comparison above routes you to the right studio by neighborhood and by what you want from the hour.
Is going to a head spa worth it?
For most people, yes — once for the relaxation alone, and regularly if you have buildup, oiliness, flaking or thinning you want to address. A 60- to 90-minute head spa combines scalp cleansing, massage and conditioning that a salon shampoo cannot. What makes it worth it beyond one visit is whether the studio tells you what it saw and what to do next; that is why the Scalp Reset at Lavie Bella ends with a written Verdict Report and a care plan.
What is the average price for a head spa?
Across the studios on this list, published prices for a 60-minute-class head spa run from about $75 to $250 as of September 2, 2026, with most between $100 and $150. Premium private-suite studios in Beverly Hills and Santa Monica charge $200 to $350. Lavie Bella's 60-minute Essential is $109 ($145 list), and every session includes a private room.
Where is the best scalp spa in Los Angeles?
It depends on what you mean by scalp spa. For relaxation-first Japanese technique, Head Spa Nagomi in Beverly Hills and SkinGuru in Santa Monica both made the Los Angeles Times list of the best head spas in L.A. For a scalp-health read — an intake questionnaire, a camera scoped across eight areas of the scalp, a written verdict and a care plan — Lavie Bella in Artesia, in southeast LA County, is the studio built around it.
What is the difference between a Japanese, Korean and Chinese head spa?
Japanese head spas center on ceremony and technique — shiatsu pressure, water-pressure rinses, micro-mist steam, a slow, meditative pace. Korean head spas focus on deep cleansing — sebum work, scalp exfoliation, nourishing masks and a visibly refreshed finish. Chinese head spas lean on herbal soaks and infusions with acupressure and meridian-based massage. Lavie Bella draws on the Japanese tradition for the experience and adds a scalp-health system on top.
Do head spas have private rooms?
Not always. Several of the busiest studios in LA and OC treat guests on beds or chairs in one room separated by curtains — that is how they serve so many people. Private-room studios exist at both ends of the price range: SkinGuru and Nagomi at $200 and up, and Lavie Bella, where every guest gets a private room from $109.
Can two people get a head spa together?
At most studios, not side by side — SkinGuru treats one guest at a time and Nagomi arranges couples by request. Lavie Bella has a private couples suite with synchronized treatments: Couples Gold is $260 for two (75 minutes each) and Couples Platinum is $310 (90 minutes each). The Happy Hour for Two is $220 for two 60-minute sessions in private rooms during the Happy Hour windows.
Can I book a head spa for a group, birthday or bachelorette party?
A few studios discount groups (Tou Dao Tang takes 10% off for four or more) or take deposits (Nagomi). Lavie Bella is the only studio in this comparison that reserves the entire studio for your group: VIP Group packages start at $99 per guest for 60 minutes or $125 for the 75-minute Gold Experience, 5-guest minimum, with robes, snacks, drinks and a complimentary add-on for the guest of honor.
How often should I get a head spa?
Once is a reset. Real change in buildup, oil balance or flaking comes from a series — typically every two to four weeks for a few months, then maintenance. That is why Lavie Bella's Scalp Revival packages of four, six or eight sessions and the $99-a-month Scalp Health Club exist; your Verdict Report recommends a cadence.
Will a head spa diagnose my scalp condition?
No — a head spa is not a medical visit. Lavie Bella's Scalp Reset gives you an observational read: what the camera showed in each area, what it likely means for your hair, and a care plan. If anything suggests a medical concern, we will say so and recommend a dermatologist.
