Scalp Facials *

Inspired by Japanese Headspa and modern Esthiology and Trichology practices, Scalp Facials provide therapeutic cleansing and treating of the scalp and hair. As a Scalp Specialist my goal is to offer an indulgent service that not only feels amazing, but yields benefits to your hair and scalp health.

Utilizing Biodynamic, Plant Based, and Organic ingredients, I will custom blend a treatment protocol that meets the unique needs of your scalp and your hair. Each Scalp Facial incorporates trichoscope analysis of the scalp, deep cleansing, exfoliating, herbal masks, and conditioning treatments that will allow your hair to flourish. Depending on the length of treatment chosen, you’ll experience extended scalp and neck massage, crystal eye masks, steamed facial towels, and calming ambient sounds.

Client Intake Form

Please fill this out at the time of booking, and check your email for any follow up questions. All forms are sent directly to Jen Cortez, are kept confidential, and are used only for the purpose of tailoring your scalp treatment to you. This form is not intended to diagnose or treat hair loss or scalp conditions. If you have open lesions, wounds, or suspect that you have ringworm, please seek treatment with a doctor or dermatologist before seeing me for a scalp treatment.

 Scalp Facial FAQ

  • Scalp Facials are just like a traditional facial, but for your scalp and hair. I will identify any concerns you have (if any), and provide a relaxing cleansing, exfoliating, and treatment service. The service takes place in a 'comfort enhanced' version of the shampoo bowl, with low lighting, aromatherapy, and micro mist steam for your enjoyment. You should notice a reduction in dandruff or flakes, temporary relief of mild psoriasis plaques, a cleaner scalp environment, and more hydrated hair. You should also expect to leave feeling deeply relaxed.

  • As a scalp specialist I can offer treatments that help offer relief for itching, flaking, sensitivity, oiliness, excessive shedding, breakage, and more.

    You do not need to have scalp issues to enjoy a scalp facial- scalp facials are relaxing, and can help you de-stress while boosting circulation to your follicles.

    Please note, I cannot provide treatment if your scalp has broken skin, oozing sores, lice, or ringworm. Scalp facials are not intended to diagnose or treat disease, and are not a substitute for medical advice. Clients who need medical intervention will be referred to a dermatologist when necessary.

  • I have a license in Cosmetology, which covers a small amount of Esthiology (non medical skincare) and Trichology (non medical scalp specific skincare). I have also sought out a Certified Hairloss Practitioners Trichology certification through USTI, and a Scalp Specialist certification through Sara Hallajian, IAT, and scalp facial education through the Salty Scalp Academy.

  • Please come wearing your comfiest clothes, with warm socks and detangled hair. If you use a heavy gel cast in your curls, you and I will both benefit from washing it out the day before. Excessive detangling and shampooing will reduce the time I have to offer therapeutic treatments. Please email me if you have questions.

  • Scalp Facials do not come with a blow dry, so plan to either leave damp with light product, or to sit under the hood dryer while I clean and prep for the next guest. You may add on a blow dry or diffuse for an additional charge.

    • Your eyes will be closed for an extended period of time, and some clients recommend not wearing contacts if you're prone to dry eyes.

  • Mondays are the only day I'm guaranteed to be working solo, and have unrestricted use of the shampoo bowl. This also means that we can discuss health issues and concerns in privacy :)

  • Yes, as long as it's not your first time getting a haircut with me- that would take a LONG time lol, and I wouldnt be able to do a full heat style.

  • Sorry, its not a recommended combo. Hair color can make your scalp sensitive and prone to overreacting. I think waiting a week between services is fine.

  • Scalp facials are designed to be therapeutic, multi-step services to relax and alleviate scalp concerns, and take 60-120 minutes. A microscope analysis and consultation guides me towards which treatments I'll use, and will vary from client to client.

    Mini Treatments are single treatments to address simple concerns, and only add 15 minutes to your haircut service. They can be booked any day I work, as long as they are added to a haircut that has a wash included. They do not include custom treatment masks, microscope analysis, or targeted consultation.
