Frequently Asked Questions

What results can I expect?
A lighter, cleaner scalp and smoother, shinier hair. Many guests notice reduced oiliness or dryness and less tension after one session. Results build with regular care.
Is it suitable for sensitive scalps?
Yes. We use gentle formulas and adjust pressure and temperature to your comfort. Tell us about any sensitivities so we can tailor the approach.
How often should I book this treatment?
Every four to six weeks suits most scalps. If you experience heavy build-up or fluctuating oil, a shorter interval may help at first.
Can it help with hair growth?
A balanced scalp creates better conditions for growth. While we do not treat medical hair loss, improved circulation and build-up removal can support healthier strands.
Can I combine it with colour or cut?
It pairs well with a cut. For colour, book before your service or wait a few days after to protect tone and avoid unnecessary product removal.
