Hi boo! How’s your scalp doing today? Might be a body part that’s ironically not top of mind ( no pun here lol), but viral videos and celebrity endorsements have propelled scalp health into the spotlight as the ultimate next self-care trend in Los Angeles. Whether you’re prepping for a special event or simply indulging in some well deserved “me time”, these treatments offer a luxurious blend of indulgence and rejuvenation. Dating back to ancient Ayurvedic traditions, scalp massage has long been revered for its holistic benefits, promoting not just hair health but overall well being. Today, this age old practice has evolved into a sophisticated ritual, with modern day spas and salons offering an array of innovative treatments. After a session, you’ll emerge feeling refreshed, revitalized, and ready to conquer the world with a clear head and luscious locks. Here are some great spas and studios to get your next best scalp treatment in LA, and even more information about why a happy scalp is key.
Yang Si Guan
Location: 529 E. Valley Blvd #238 A, San Gabriel, CA 91776
Get ready to experience scalp spa heaven at Yang Si Guan Spa, the spot that’s been making waves on TikTok and even caught the attention of the Kardashian’s during their epic three-generation scalp spa day. They offer tailored treatments designed to pamper your scalp. During our visit, we opted for the Pure Luxury Scalp Spa experience, a 90-minute journey of pure bliss from head to toe. The ambiance was serene, with soothing music and a calming aromatherapy filling the air. After being warmly greeted by the staff, we were whisked away to get personalized scalp testing solutions to unlock the secrets of your scalp’s health. Then, an indulgent essential oil relaxation on a cushy ergonomic recliner to let all the stress melt away.
After the massage, you sit in a comfy chair and they give you a thorough scalp detox and cleaning using ultrasonic and hydrotherapy cools. The heated infrared tool at the end felt SO good, and it’s pretty wild to see your scalp up close on camera, impurities and all. We loved chatting more with the staff and learning about the brother-sister duo at Yang Si Guan that is on a mission to bring scalp health more into the mainstream beauty world. They talked to us about how taking care of the scalp may even help reduce fine lines and wrinkles on our face. The spot is also centrally located to many of San Gabriel’s awesome restaurants, so we recommend making a day out of it and treating yourself to lunch afterwards.

For a custom head program that addresses a variety of needs, we would go with the Botanical Deep Scalp Spa treatment. This deep massage stimulates circulation and nourishes the roots from the scalp down to the ends of your hair. They have sessions ranging from a quick 30 minute pop in, to 60 minutes of scalp bliss.
