Tou Dao Tang Hair & Scalp Spa – Kearny Mesa is a Chinese herbal head spa in San Diego, California, known for warm herbal pours over the scalp.
Every visit starts with a scalp consultation under a 200x microscope camera, so you can see your scalp before anything begins. Your therapist then pours a herbal decoction, brewed fresh that morning, slowly over the crown. A deep cleanse follows, then acupoint massage from scalp to neck and shoulders under aromatic steam with a warm eye mask. The visit ends with a soft blow-dry, a second look at your scalp, and tea.
The menu is short, and the prices are listed on the website. The Scalp Treatment runs 60 minutes, with a first-visit rate from $89. The Classic Scalp Treatment runs 90 minutes and adds a hair mask and red-light therapy. Longer or more targeted options include Scalp Deep Cleaning & Relaxation for buildup and itch, Hair & Scalp Hydrating & Relaxation for dryness, Scalp Care & Hair Growth for thinning, and the two-hour Golden Sleep Therapy.
Reviewers often mention the calm space, the clear scalp camera, and therapists who explain each step. Many leave with a scalp that feels lighter and cleaner. It suits first-timers, stressed or desk-bound guests, and anyone dealing with buildup, dryness or thinning hair.
