A focused, step-by-step scalp ritual designed to cleanse, soothe and rejuvenate.

  • Personal consultation and brief scalp check.
  • Purifying double cleanse to remove product and oil build-up.
  • Gentle scalp exfoliation for a clearer, calmer feel.
  • Warm steam and hot towels to aid absorption and relaxation.

Who It's For

Ideal for anyone dealing with scalp build-up, dryness, oiliness or mild flakiness. Great for busy minds and tense temples seeking calm. Suitable for all hair types, including curly and textured. Gentle enough for sensitive scalps when we tailor pressure and products.

Duration & Appointment Timing

The service lasts 65 minutes. Please arrive 5 minutes early to settle before we begin. You will leave with hair lightly dried. If you want a full blow-dry, add it when booking to allow extra time.

Aftercare & Maintenance

  • Avoid heat styling and tight styles for 24 hours.
  • Use a gentle, sulphate-free shampoo and lukewarm water.
  • Brush or massage lightly with a soft scalp brush two to three times a week.
  • Keep hydrated and minimise heavy styling products for a day.
  • Book maintenance every 4 to 6 weeks, or sooner for heavy build-up.
  • If irritation occurs, rinse and contact us for advice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens during the treatment?
We begin with a consultation and scalp check, followed by a double cleanse and gentle exfoliation. Steam and a shiatsu-style massage lead into a mask and tonic, with a tidy, soft dry to finish.
Is it suitable for sensitive scalps?
Yes. We use mild, scalp-safe products and adjust pressure throughout. Please share any sensitivities so we can tailor the experience.
Will my hair be blow-dried?
The service includes a towel-dry and light finish. Add a blow-dry when booking if you would like a full styled finish.
How often should I book?
Most guests return every 4 to 6 weeks for lasting benefits. If you have heavy build-up or an oily scalp, more frequent visits at first can help.
Can I have it when pregnant?
Yes, it is gentle and we adapt pressure and positioning for comfort. Please tell us your stage so we can seat you safely.
