Haru Head Spa

Haru Head Spa is a Korean-style head spa in San Diego that concentrates on the scalp. The business says scalp health is the foundation of hair health, and its treatments are built around scalp care and relaxation. The business describes itself as an all-inclusive Korean head spa in San Diego.

Each K-Dream session starts with a scalp analysis, then moves through lymphatic drainage with a hot stone massage, scalp exfoliation and hydration, and advanced treatments using ozone, ultrasound, electrotherapy, and red and blue light. Hair repair treatments are included as well, and clients are served Korean flower tea. The 90-minute version adds a mini facial, a hand massage and a hand mask. The 60-minute Express version covers the scalp and hair portions without the facial and hand work.

Scalp treatments take place with clients reclining in massage chairs, and the spa runs eight treatment chairs. Every price includes everything, with no separate menu of extras. The business notes that some competitors advertise low starting rates and then add charges for upgrades. Visits are booked in advance only, so the spa does not take walk-in guests. Daily appointment start times are 10:00 a.m., 11:50 a.m., 2:00 p.m. and 3:50 p.m.

Online reservations require a $100 deposit. Clients who hold a Groupon or a gift card are asked to call to schedule instead, and no deposit is required when the Groupon or gift card covers the treatment. E-gift cards can be bought on the website, but gift card appointments are booked by phone. Services are for relaxation and wellness and are not a substitute for medical care, so clients should mention any allergies or sensitivities before a treatment.

Treatments are designed around scalp health, with staff trained in scalp health and relaxation techniques. Clients receive personalized treatments and product recommendations matched to their hair type.

Treatments take place in massage chairs across eight treatment chairs, with photos of the head spa available on the gallery page.
