About This Salon
Set in a bright, clean space on North Desplaines Street, San Spa has earned a loyal following for its attentive therapists and effective treatments. Guests consistently praise the staff's gentle approach, noting how small considerations, like a shoulder tap before touching the neck, create a deeply relaxing experience. The salon specializes in detailed scalp analysis and targeted therapies, including light and microcurrent treatments. A signature offering combines Korean scalp therapy with a glass-skin facial, beginning with an aromatic cleanse and deep massage to improve circulation. The process continues with exfoliation, hydration, and a customized mask, leaving skin radiant. For those with sensitive scalps, a dedicated treatment reduces irritation while restoring the scalp's natural barrier. Another popular service focuses on hair growth activation using proprietary technology and LED therapy. The environment at San Spa is frequently described as professional yet calming, with thoughtful touches like post-treatment matcha tea. Many visitors remark on immediate improvements in skin texture and scalp health, making it a favored spot for those seeking visible results. The salon's hours accommodate both early and late visitors, with extended availability on weekends.

Booking Your Head Spa
Here are our tips to prepare for and fully enjoy your scalp treatment.
Book in Advance
Book 1 to 2 weeks in advance. Weekend slots sell out fast. And some scalp care specialists are in high demand, especially at reputable Japanese head spa salons.
Prepare for Your Visit
If you have concerns like itchy scalp, product buildup, or hair loss (alopecia), mention them when booking to customize your session.
Day of Your Session
Don't wash your hair the day of your appointment and arrive with brushed hair. Skip makeup as some treatments include a facial mask or kobido massage.
After Your Session
Enjoy a calm activity to extend the relaxing effects of your head massage. Note: blow-drying is usually not included. Allow extra time for long hair.
At-Home Care
Avoid washing your hair for 24-48 hours to let the treatment absorb. For a healthy scalp between sessions, ask your specialist which shampoo and hair care products to use at home.
Maintain Your Results
For lasting scalp health, consider regular treatments. Many clients book their next head spa before leaving to maintain their scalp care routine.
