Scalp Treatments

Targeted treatments that address the scalp itself — the foundation healthy color and cuts are built on.

Hair health starts at the scalp, not the ends. A scalp treatment is added to reset buildup from styling products, soothe irritation, and support the scalp environment that new hair actually grows from — especially useful alongside color services, which can be drying to the scalp over time.

What a scalp treatment actually does

A treatment begins with an assessment of the scalp itself — dryness, flaking, product buildup, or tightness from tension styling are all addressed differently. Depending on what's needed, the service may include an exfoliating pre-shampoo step to lift buildup, a nourishing mask left to process, and a scalp massage to boost circulation before the final rinse and style.

Pairing it with a color service

Because color services involve chemical processing right at the scalp, a treatment is often added onto a root touch-up or grey blending appointment rather than booked as a completely separate visit — it calms the scalp afterward and helps color-treated hair grow in feeling less stripped.

A standalone reset

For clients who aren't due for color but are dealing with an itchy, flaky, or oily scalp, this can also be booked on its own as a reset — a deep cleanse and calming treatment without any cut or color involved.

Frequently asked

Do I need a scalp treatment if I don't color my hair?

Not at all — it's just as relevant for anyone dealing with product buildup, dryness, or an itchy scalp, regardless of whether color is part of your routine.

Can this be added the same day as a cut or color?

Yes, it's commonly added onto a root touch-up, grey blending, or highlight appointment, and can also be booked as its own visit.

Will it help with hair growth?

A healthier scalp environment supports the hair that's already growing in, though a treatment is not a medical solution for hair loss — that's worth discussing with a dermatologist alongside any salon-based support.
