Getting to the Root of Hair Health: My Scalp Detox Treatment

Hair health, hair growth, hair strength, everyone’s talking about it. Another thing everyone’s talking about? Scalp health and scalp spas. Every time I opened my Instagram, there was someone waxing poetic about the transformative experience they had at a scalp spa. A common theme? A treatment that went beyond the surface. I had to try this out for myself. 

I booked an appointment at The Luxury Hair Spa, a freshly opened scalp spa in Newport Beach. Located in an accessible spot, the exterior–while inviting was no match for what was behind those doors. It’s worth noting that this particular spa invests in some of the most cutting edge scalp care technology, but maintains a holistic approach to hair health by combining science and relaxation. I was greeted by friendly staff who allowed me to tour the space before handing me a robe and slippers and telling me what an amazing treatment was in my very near future. The goal of the scalp salon was clear–not so much focus on the hair, but instead my therapist was there to nitrite the health of my scalp, promote hair growth and enhance my overall well-being. 

Comprehensive Scalp Analysis: Understanding Your Unique Needs

The journey begins with a thorough scalp analysis, a crucial step in understanding the specific needs of your scalp and hair. Using advanced diagnostic tools, the skilled specialists at The Luxury examine your scalp’s condition, checking for issues such as dryness, oiliness, dandruff and hair thinning.

This is a way of seeing your scalp like never before. The up close view of my scalp looked unreal and I was able to examine my hair strands at a macro level. That alone was worth it. I was suffering from product build up and this detailed analysis allowed my therapist to tailor treatments that addressed my unique concerns. It was nice to know that no matter what the concern, whether you’re dealing with hair loss, scalp irritation, or simply looking to enhance your hair’s vitality, the personalized approach ensures that you receive the most effective care possible.

Red Light Therapy: Harnessing the Power of Light for Scalp Health

After a stimulating electrotherapy comb session, which helped to kill any bacteria,  was red light therapy, something that’s woven into the spa’s repertoire of treatments. So what exactly does it do? Red light therapy, or low-level laser therapy (LLLT), uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate the scalp and stimulate cellular activity. It’s essentially non-invasive (and safe) and helps to increase blood flow to the hair follicles, enhance cell metabolism and reduce inflammation (we all know about this). The outcome is an optimal environment for hair growth.

I’d enjoyed this portion, but I was also eager to see what was next–that was after a soothing neck and shoulder massage. Honestly, each step felt like an adventure. 

Hair Growth: Stimulating Your Scalp for Healthier Hair With the Scalp Detox Treatment

Finally it was time to make my way from the open salon space to my private treatment room. And before I jump into the details of the treatment, I have to say that the stage is set for a full-on zen experience. From a warmed massage chair, to ambient lighting and what sounded like soothing binaural beats, I was ready for this curated hair growth experience. 

This place had no shortage of hair growth and repair treatments using some of the best products on the market. We started with a shampoo, which was more a shampoo of the scalp then the hair shaft because as I was told hair heath begins at the root–literally and throughout the skin that makes up your scalp. The techniques used are intended  to stimulate the scalp, improve blood circulation and encourage the growth of healthy hair by removing anything that could be blocking the follicle from getting the nourishment it needs. 

Keravive: Cleansing with the Scalp Detox Treatment

This cleansed the scalp–on a way deeper level, removed dead skin through a process called “Hydra-dermabrasion” and included a mild peel with the intent to extract scalp impurities–and that could be anything from product to environmental elements. It also infused my scalp with antioxidants. 

The whole experience was a back-to-back application of scalp health topicals and techniques. Another “wow moment”? The oxygen spray where you’re in somewhat of a dome and it fills with oxygen to hydrate and take your scalp health to the next level. You’re wondering when does the goodness end, right? 

Scalp Massage: A Soothing Ritual for Mind and Body

No visit to The Luxury Hair Spa would be complete without indulging in one of their signature scalp massages. These massages are next level and not only a treat for your senses but also play a vital role in maintaining scalp health. My therapist walked me through every step of the way and then went on to use a combination of techniques to knead and manipulate the scalp, relieving tension and improving circulation.

At this point, I was in another dimension–or at least it felt that way. My  time in the scalp treatment room was up and I was ushered to the open styling space for a reexamination of my scalp and a top-tier Dyson blowout. The end result? My scalp looked fantastic! No build up, no flakes and my hair shafts appeared pump and hydrated. As for my hair, the blowout was perfection and my hair was glistening. 

What sets The Luxury Hair Spa apart from some of the other spas, in my opinion, is its commitment to providing a comprehensive, science-backed approach to scalp and hair care within a luxurious and serene environment. The spa’s ambiance, with its calming décor and soothing scents, enhances the therapeutic experience, making each visit a holistic retreat..
