Hair health, hair growth, hair strength, everyone is talking about it. Another thing everyone is talking about? Scalp health and scalp spas. Every time I opened my Instagram, there was someone waxing poetic about the life-changing experience they had at a scalp spa. A common theme? A treatment that went deeper than the surface. I had to try it for myself.
I booked an appointment at The Luxury Hair Spa, a scalp spa that just opened in Newport Beach. Located in an accessible location, the exterior, while inviting, didn’t compare to what was behind those doors. It’s worth noting that this particular spa invests in some of the most advanced scalp care technology, but maintains a holistic approach to hair health by combining science and relaxation. I was greeted by friendly staff who let me tour the space before handing me a robe and slippers and telling me what an amazing treatment awaited me in the very near future. The goal of the scalp salon was clear: it wasn’t so much about hair, but rather my therapist was there to improve the health of my scalp, promote hair growth, and enhance my overall well-being.
Comprehensive Scalp Analysis: Understand Your Specific Needs
The process begins with a thorough scalp analysis, a crucial step in understanding the specific needs of your scalp and hair. Using advanced diagnostic tools, The Luxury’s trained specialists examine the condition of your scalp and detect issues such as dryness, oiliness, dandruff, and thinning hair.
This is a way to see your scalp like never before. The close-up view of my scalp seemed unreal and I was able to examine my hair strands on a macro level. That alone was worth it. I was suffering from product buildup and this detailed analysis allowed my therapist to customize treatments that addressed my specific concerns. It was nice to know that no matter what your issue is, whether you’re dealing with hair loss, scalp irritation or are simply looking to improve the vibrancy of your hair, the personalized approach ensures you receive the most effective care possible.
Red Light Therapy: Harnessing the Power of Light for Scalp Health
After a session of stimulating comb electrotherapy, which helped to eliminate any bacteria, red light therapy was performed – something that is part of the spa’s repertoire of treatments. 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 noninvasive (and safe) and helps to increase blood flow to hair follicles, improve cellular metabolism and reduce inflammation (we all know that). The result is an optimal environment for hair growth.
I enjoyed this part, but I was also eager to see what came next after a relaxing neck and shoulder massage. Honestly, every step felt like an adventure.
Hair Growth: How to Stimulate Your Scalp for Healthier Hair With the scalp detox treatment
It was finally time to move from the open salon into my private treatment room. And before I get into the details of the treatment, I have to say that the stage is set for a total zen experience. From a heated massage chair to ambient lighting and what sounded like soothing binaural beats, I was ready for this hair-growing experience.
There was no shortage of hair growth and repair treatments at this place, with some of the best products on the market. We started with a shampoo, which was more of a scalp shampoo than a hair shaft shampoo, because as I had been told, hair health starts at the root, literally, and all the skin that makes up the scalp. The techniques used are aimed at stimulating the scalp, improve blood circulation and stimulate healthy hair growth by removing anything that may prevent the follicle from receiving the nutrition it needs.
Keravive: Cleanse with Scalp Detox Treatment
This method cleansed my scalp on a much deeper level, removing dead skin cells through a process called “hydradermabrasion” and including gentle exfoliation meant to draw out impurities from my scalp, which could be anything from products to environmental elements. It also infused my scalp with antioxidants.
The entire experience was a back-to-back application of topical products and scalp health techniques. Another wow moment? The oxygen spray, where you’re in a sort of dome that’s filled with oxygen to hydrate and take your scalp health to the next level. You’re wondering when the goodness ends, right?
Scalp massage: a relaxing ritual for the mind and body
There is no visit to The luxury hair spa It wouldn’t be complete without indulging in one of their signature scalp massages. These massages are next level and are not only a treat for the senses but also play a vital role in maintaining scalp health. My therapist guided me step by step and then used a combination of techniques to knead and manipulate the scalp, relieving tension and improving circulation.
By this time, I was already in another dimension, or at least that’s how I felt. My time in the scalp treatment room was over and I was taken into the open hair salon space to have my scalp examined again and to receive a top-notch Dyson straightening treatment. The end result? My scalp looked fantastic! No build-up, no dandruff and my hair shafts looked smooth and hydrated. As for my hair, the straightening was perfect and my hair was shiny.
What sets The Luxury Hair Spa apart from other spas, in my opinion, is its commitment to providing a comprehensive, science-backed approach to scalp and hair care in a luxurious, serene setting. The spa’s ambiance, with its soothing décor and calming aromas, enhances the therapeutic experience and turns every visit into a holistic retreat.
Investing in scalp health: 10/10
Visiting the scalp spa was so much more than just a beauty treatment; it was like investing in my overall well-being. With a range of advanced hair growth treatments, cutting-edge red light therapy, and indulgent scalp massages, this was a comprehensive approach to nourishing my scalp and hair, not to mention I learned a lot. The personalized attention and serene environment ensured that I not only left looking better, but feeling rejuvenated and refreshed and equipped with the knowledge to put my scalp health first as a means to healthier hair. If you are looking for a transformative experience for your hair and scalp, a scalp spa is the way to go, especially at The Luxury Hair Spa as they have some of the most advanced treatments and use the most unique products. It’s a drive for some LA girls, but it’s worth every mile! A 10/10, this is the ultimate destination for unparalleled hair care!
