The Duo Ritual

A thorough hair and scalp analysis using a magnifier or scalp scope. We discuss your concerns, lifestyle and desired outcomes, identify conditions such as dryness, oiliness, dandruff or irritation, and explain how the treatment addresses them.

You are settled onto the treatment table with a pillow under the knees to ease the lower back. Your hair is gently brushed through to remove knots and tangles.

A few drops of essential oil — rosemary, lavender or peppermint — warmed in the therapist’s hands, held above you for three deep breaths. A warmed eye mask is offered.

A nourishing oil — coconut, jojoba or a custom rosemary blend — massaged in circular motions with varying pressure, stimulating blood flow and loosening muscular tension.

A gentle exfoliating scrub worked into areas of buildup with fingertips and a scalp brush, then rinsed thoroughly with warm water.

A shampoo suited to your hair type, with a double cleanse where buildup or dandruff calls for it, massaged in with a vibrating scalp tool for enhanced stimulation.

A hydrating mask from mid-length to ends. While it sets, the golden waterfall runs warm water over the scalp, or steam is introduced, with an optional hand and arm massage.

The mask is rinsed out and conditioner applied to the ends only. Hair is detangled with a wide-tooth comb, then a final golden-waterfall rinse.

Your hair is wrapped in a warm towel. A second scalp analysis compares the before-and-after condition, and we talk through maintaining scalp health at home.
