Forest House SPA - San Diego Miramar — Attraction in San Diego

The Positive, then the not so positive.

I received the Anti-Aging Scalp Therapy treatment. The procedure itself was heavenly. The scrubbing, rubbing, spa music, sound therapy, and surprise arm and leg massage had me melting into the table. The facility was spotlessly clean and inviting. The staff very friendly.

And the not-so-positive.

My esthetician was wearing ear buds. Not a problem in itself. However, it was loud enough that I could hear the sounds over the spa music.

My biggest concern that ruined the serenity of the treatment was that my esthetician did not seem to know how to work with very long hair. All the wonderful parts of the procedure built up some snarls at the base of my neck, which was to be expected with my amount of hair. Rather than working the snarls out from the ends, she used a comb to literally rip through my hair from the base of my neck down. The amounts of conditioner/oils/products used should have made working the snarls out the proper way easy. I asked her to stop three times during different parts of the treatment. I also told her not to worry about getting them out. I would do it myself after my hair dried. I don't believe she fully understood. I also realize I should have ended the treatment and left, but I didn't.

And lastly, about an hour after I left, I had a reaction to something used during the treatment. My scalp, face and arms began to burn. After another 1/2 hour I began to get a headache. I rushed home to shower and remove whatever leave-in products there were. The burning stopped quickly and the headache faded away in a couple hours. I chose the Anti-Aging Treatment because the description said it was good for sensitive skin and I'm in my 60's.

I was so looking forward to this treatment. Maybe if I had shorter hair it wouldn't have been so stressful. The sound of ripping hair is not relaxing, especially when you've been cultivating your hair...

Book now! Before I get into this review, let me just tell you to book your appointment right now. It is seriously that amazing and my scalp and hair have never felt this good or been this clean.

I booked the 90 minute scalp melt session with Lijuan (Regina) and it was so much more than just a scalp treatment. We started with looking at my scalp on the scope/camera and she saw my dry flaky scalp lol we also saw I had clogged pores as well. Once I was laying down she went in with a shoulder massage and face massage and scalp massage!! It felt so good. She put a heat pack on my eyes which was very relaxing and did a shoulder massage throughout the whole process pretty much. She shampooed thoroughly and the head scratches were to die for. She used all kinds of tools on my scalp during the process, gua shua, brush, comb, and I don’t even know what else but it felt great lol she had the dome waterfall going while she massaged and stretched my body which was badly needed for me! She conditioned my hair thoroughly as well while she did a deep brushing to get all my flakes out and unclog my pores. She used a scalp serum and that had this cooling effect which felt great as well! And we finished with a light blow dry and view my scalp in the camera again and you could see an obvious difference. My scalp was extremely clean and didn’t have any flakes, my pores were unclogged, it was a very noticeable difference.

Lijuan is so so sweet and needless to say I will definitely be coming back on a regular basis. Absolutely loved...

My back has been hurting due to my busy work. I booked 2 massages for me and my mom yesterday at Forest House SPA.

From the moment I stepped into the spa, I was greeted with warmth and tranquility, setting the stage for an exceptional experience.

The massage therapists at Forest House Spa are nothing short of amazing. They are highly skilled professionals who possess a deep understanding of the art of massage. My therapist was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely concerned about my well-being. He took the time to listen to my specific needs and tailored the massage accordingly, ensuring that I received the maximum benefits.

The massage itself was a heavenly experience. The therapist's skilled hands worked their magic, relieving the tension in my muscles and soothing my mind. The combination of various techniques, including Swedish and deep tissue massage, provided the perfect balance of relaxation and therapeutic effects. It was evident that the therapist had a profound understanding of the human body and knew exactly how to address...
