The Lavish Scalp Treatment

Healthy hair starts at the scalp, and the scalp is the part almost everybody skips. This treatment cleanses and exfoliates, lifts away product buildup, relieves dryness and tightness, boosts circulation at the root, and leaves the scalp genuinely clean and calm.

It is the one to book if:

• Your scalp feels tight, itchy or flaky, especially through a New England winter.
• You use a lot of dry shampoo or styling product.
• Your roots go oily fast, which is often buildup rather than your scalp's fault.
• You want the most relaxing forty minutes of your week. Most guests come for the hair and come back for this part.

The Lavish Shine Experience

A glow boosting treatment that smooths and softens so the hair reflects more light. Dull hair is usually a texture problem rather than a color problem: when the outside of the hair is rough, light scatters instead of bouncing. Smooth it and the same color reads brighter.

Book it if your color still looks correct but flat, if your ends have gone rough to the touch, or if you have an event and you want the hair to photograph well. It is also included in the New Guest Blowout Experience, which is how most new guests meet it.

The Lavish Hydration Experience

A deeply moisturizing treatment for hair that has gone dry, frizzy or unmanageable. It replenishes moisture, calms frizz, and brings back softness and strength so the hair is easier to work with at home.

This is the one for color treated hair, for anything that has been through lightener, and for the end of a summer of salt water and sun. If your hair feels like it is fighting you every morning, start here.

Which One Should You Book?

• Scalp feels tight, flaky or overdue. Book the Scalp Treatment.
• Hair looks dull and has lost its gloss. Book the Shine Experience.
• Hair feels dry, frizzy or rough. Book the Hydration Experience.
• Not sure. Ask your stylist at your next appointment. They are touching your hair, so they will know.

All three pair well with a blow dry, and plenty of guests book a scalp treatment and a blowout together as a proper reset. If frizz is the main issue and you want a longer term fix rather than a treatment, look at the keratin treatment instead.

Adding One to Another Service

Every experience can be added to a haircut, a color appointment or a blowout, and it is worth doing. A hydration treatment after a lightening service, or a scalp treatment before a color, does more for the hair than either service on its own. Mention it when you book so your stylist has the time set aside rather than trying to fit it in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add a Lavish Experience to another appointment?

Yes, and most guests do. Each one works on its own or alongside a haircut, a color service or a blowout. Just say so when you book so the time is reserved.

Which experience is right for me?

Scalp if your scalp feels tight, flaky or overdue for attention. Shine if the hair looks dull. Hydration if it feels dry or frizzy. If two apply, your stylist will tell you which to start with.

How long does an experience take?

Each one is a short add on rather than a long appointment, which is why they slot so easily alongside other services. Durations are listed on the Service Menu.

Is a scalp treatment the same as a head massage?

The massage is part of it, and it is the part everyone remembers. The treatment itself is doing the work of cleansing and exfoliating the scalp, which a massage alone does not.

How often should I have one?

As often as your hair asks for it. Some guests add one to every color appointment, others book a scalp treatment seasonally when the heating goes on. There is no schedule you need to keep.

Are they suitable for color treated hair?

All three are, and Hydration in particular was made for it. Lightened hair loses moisture faster, so a treatment after a color service is time well spent.
