The classic session

Five steps, sixty minutes

The short session takes the same steps in less time, and the long one gives the massage more of it.

  1. 01
    About 5 min

    Step 1: A look at your scalp

    We part your hair and look together, and you tell us what you use and what you'd like us to avoid.

  2. 02
    About 15 min

    Step 2: The cleanse

    Warm water, a gentle cleanser and the pads of the fingers, worked through to the roots.

  3. 03
    About 25 min

    Step 3: The massage

    Slow pressure across the scalp, temples, neck and shoulders, at the firmness you choose.

  4. 04
    About 10 min

    Step 4: The rinse

    A long, warm rinse, and a conditioner if you like.

  5. 05
    About 5 min

    Step 5: Dry and sit up slowly

    A towel dry and a minute to come back before you stand. Add a blow-dry if you have somewhere to be.

What we don't promise

Comfort and rest, nothing more

Scalp care here is for comfort. It isn't a treatment for a scalp or skin condition, and it doesn't promise any result.

If we notice something that worries us, we will say so plainly and suggest you see your doctor or a dermatologist. Results vary from person to person, and so does what feels good.

  • We work with bare hands and clean tools

  • You can ask us to stop at any time
