WELCOME TO THE ZEN DEN
At The Zen Den, we believe self-care should be healing, personalized, and deeply restorative. Our space in Spring Valley is more than just a salon or spa.. it’s a sanctuary for nervous system resets, energetic alignment, and whole-body beauty rituals.
We’re here for the clients who crave something deeper. The ones who value intuitive care, connection, and long-term wellbeing. Whether you're releasing tension, caring for your scalp and hair health, or tending to your skin, our team is here to hold space for your transformation.
MEET THE HEART OF THE ZEN DEN
VANESSA TRUJILLO
MASSAGE THERAPIST & CO-FOUNDER
Hi, I'm Vanessa - your massage therapist! With 19 years of experience in the field, I bring a holistic approach to massage therapy. Specializing in deep tissue, pre-natal, sports therapy, chronic pain management, and customized treatments, I am dedicated to helping my clients achieve optimal health and well-being. Outside of my practice, I find joy in the ocean and nurturing my collection of plants, both of which inspire my commitment to natural healing and balance.
KATIE ALYSE

Hi! I am Katie, the creator of Scalp + Soul care. I've been a hairstylist for 19 years, an astrologer and reiki master for 12 years. I'm thrilled to combine all of my passions into one, through the magic of Scalp + Soul.
Whether you’re coming in for scalp care relaxation, a lush haircut, a deeply therapeutic facial or to brighten your hair with color, I am happy to treat you to an elevated salon experience. I am grateful to have met hundreds of clients and taught dozens of hairstylists in the practice of Scalp + Soul. When I'm not working, I love visiting the beach and watching my favorite Bravo TV shows. I can't wait to treat you!

SARAH CLAYTON
HAIRSTYLIST
Hi, I’m Sarah! I’ve been a hairstylist since 2003, and I absolutely love helping my clients achieve their hair goals, whether it’s a fresh new cut, dimensional color, or sun-kissed highlights. I’m always learning and staying up to date with the latest trends and techniques to bring the best to my clients.
I’ve been at this location for almost 20 years, and it truly feels like home. When I’m not in the salon, you can usually find me cheering on my kids at dance class, jiu-jitsu, little league, or the BMX track. In my free time, I love scrolling through TikTok.. there’s always something new to learn, from cooking tips to DIY projects (yes, I even fixed our air conditioner thanks to TikTok!). It’s also a great place for hair education, and I’m always excited to bring fresh ideas to my clients.
I’m always welcoming new clients! Feel free to reach out to book an appointment or consultation, I’d love to meet you!
