D&H Hair Studio in Saratoga, CA

A Facebook ad popped up for a hair salon with scalp spa. I definitely thought it was one of those scientific scalp spas where they take a microscope to your scalp...it isn't I did really need a haircut anyway and through the promo the scalp spa + haircut was the same price, so I made an appointment with Nana I had cut my hair about a month ago before a trip to Japan, and really regret not getting it cut in Japan from the pictures and how the hair was growing out, so I booked my first appointment ever at a Japanese salon in the Bay Area (for background I never really cut my hair more than a few times every 2-3 years, and when I did cut it more pre Covid it was random because I had a traveling job in other countries/states) I honestly think this may have been the highest quality hair cut I've ever gotten in my life. From the beginning there was 6 layers of towels and wraps to make sure no hair got inside my shirt. The head spa included a pre-treatment, a treatment during the washing, and a post-treatment, and a head/neck massage. I always thought that my dandruff was the result of dryness, but I learned that it's actually the opposite. My scalp is well moisturized, if anything oily (which I did also find annoying), and that's why I have dandruff, because the moisturizing shampoos are blocking exfoliation. The more you know! I was unhappy with how my previous cut was really a bowl cut (A line bob), so she helped add texture, layers, and face framing. Gave me tips on how to style and dry and wash my hair, and how to grow out my bangs and style it too. Also she was super pregnant (and still did an amazing job which is crazy) and probably will not be available for a minute! I'll definitely be back to have her dye my hair.

Saw the ad in my Facebook feed and wanted to check out what a head spa experience is. Booked my 1 hour treatment with Nana first, the location is a little tricky to find, though there is ample parking by the park. It is on the second floor so there will be stairs. The sign says 2f, but once you enter it's 2g. All easy to figure out. The room is minimal, white and clean. You are greeted upon arrival. They ask if you'd like to use the restroom as the treatment is one hour. now, onto the treatment ... it starts with a warm dry towel wrapped around your neck (to prevent the water from touching you). It's a nice touch that the towel is warm (like fresh out of the dryer). Then you walk over to the shampoo bowl and are ready to be pampered. You are asked to pick a scent - citrus, rose or vanilla. I choose citrus as those other two scents can sometimes be overwhelming. Nana starts by wetting your hair, asking if the water temperature is ok. Then she works her magic with gentle deft fingers to shampoo and condition your head. She takes her time massaging the temples, top of scalp and then the sides. When the conditioner is on, she'll wrap the neck (the part resting on the water basin) in a thick hot towel and then also apply one on the forehead/hairline area. It's like you are being cocooned :) She'll rinse out the conditioner and then you are off for a quick blow dry and style, however before then as you dry a little under a machine, she'll massage your shoulders. That was extremely relaxing :) I came in with my natural curly hair and left with a flat ironed straight hair. It was a relaxing hour and glad I came! Nana is very friendly and kind.

rio is super meticulous and listens to your needs. the salon is super pretty and will be my go-to from now on :)

Glad I found this studio on Instagram by chance. I visited it first and was so impressed that I brought my friend back for her bday; both of us loved our haircut + head-spa service by Yuka. It's a small studio, parking on the street could be tricky depending on how busy, I would suggest be there 10 mins earlier than your appointment as I got a bit lost my first time here. Highly recommended for people who prefer a quiet, calming setting and is adversed to busy salon. Your hairstylist stays with you throughout the whole appointment, and very punctual on the time of the appointment. Both times they finished right on the promised time. Love it and would definitely come back.

This new salon popped up so many times and I saw that one of their services was hair growth as well as scalp treatment. I've been annoyed with my dry scalp and I needed a treatment that can help alleviate that. First off, the location is a little hidden, so make sure you keep your eye out for a sign that will direct you to the entrance. But once you step inside, it was a small salon that had such cute aesthetics inside, and they have wifi, which was perfect! The two ladies working were so nice and friendly! I booked a session with Nana, who was so sweet and knowledgeable about hair care and scalp care. I did a 90min hair spa treatment and throughout the treatment, she gave such a gentle touch with the scalp massages during the washing process, and was very attentive to detail. At the end, she was able to recommend me some hair care treatments as well as products to take home to utilize during my hair washing days. Definitely check this place out! It is by appointment, so be sure to do so!
