Tou Dao Tang Hair & Scalp Spa – Mira Mesa

Tou Dao Tang Hair & Scalp Spa – Mira Mesa is a Chinese herbal head spa in San Diego, California, known for warm herbal decoctions poured over the scalp.

Every visit begins with a scalp consultation under a 200x microscope camera, so you can see what your scalp needs. A therapist then pours herbal decoctions, brewed fresh that morning, over the scalp. Next come a deep cleanse, acupoint massage from scalp to neck and shoulders under aromatic steam, a warm eye mask and a soft blow-dry. A second look at your scalp shows the before and after.

The menu runs from a 30-minute Express Scalp Cleanse to longer sessions, including Scalp Care & Hair Growth for thinning hair and Scalp Deep Cleaning & Relaxation for buildup, dandruff or itchiness. Hydrating, hair repair, shoulder-and-neck and sleep-focused options are also listed. The Mira Mesa studio also offers facials, including a head spa and facial combination. First-visit pricing starts from $89 for the 60-minute Scalp Treatment.

Reviewers often mention a calm, well-designed space, attentive therapists who check the pressure, and hair that feels clean, light and smooth afterward. It suits first-timers, anyone dealing with stress, buildup or dryness, and guests who want a scalp session paired with a facial.
