What is a scalp treatment?
A scalp treatment is a service focused on the skin your hair grows from. It removes buildup, calms dryness and leaves the scalp clean and balanced so your hair has a better place to grow.
What happens step by step?
- Scalp check: your stylist looks for buildup, flakes and dry spots.
- Cleanse: a thorough wash to lift product and oil.
- Treatment: care matched to what the check found.
- Finish: a light oil and guidance for home care.
When should you see a dermatologist?
