Frequently Asked Questions

Will my hair feel greasy after?
We use a measured amount of lightweight oil, so hair feels conditioned rather than heavy. Tell us your preference and we will adjust the application. You can shampoo later the same day if you wish.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. We select gentle, fragrance-light oils and adapt pressure to your comfort. Please share any allergies, active breakouts, or recent peels so we can tailor safely.
Can I combine it with other services?
Yes, it fits well before or after most appointments. We will coordinate timing to keep your schedule smooth. Add it at booking or ask our team.
Will it help headaches or jaw tension?
It can ease muscular tension and promote relaxation, which many guests find helpful. It is not a medical treatment or cure. If symptoms persist, please seek medical advice.
How often should I book it?
For ongoing relief and scalp comfort, book every 2 to 4 weeks. You can also use it as an occasional reset before events or busy periods.
