If your hair is thinning and you are wondering whether a head spa will help, here is the short answer before you read any further: not in the way you are hoping. We are a spa, not a medical provider, and nothing we offer will stop, slow or reverse hair loss. Anyone in this industry telling you otherwise is selling you something.

What follows is what we would tell a friend — where to actually go, and what an hour with us is genuinely worth.

Hair thins for a great many reasons, and they look almost identical in the mirror: genetics, thyroid, iron levels, a medication you started, a birth, an illness six months ago, or a scalp condition that needs treating. Some are very treatable once someone has worked out which one you have — which is the genuinely good news here, and the reason guessing wastes the most valuable thing you have, which is time.

See your doctor or a dermatologist, particularly if it came on suddenly, is patchy, or your scalp is sore. The American Academy of Dermatology has a plain-English resource on the different types and what is done about them.

Two honest things, and we would rather sell you those than a promise we cannot keep.

Tell us at booking if your scalp is tender, flaking, or under a doctor’s care. We will keep pressure light, use gentler formulas, work around anything sore, and we will never suggest you stop something you have been prescribed. Nobody will comment on your scalp — our team have seen every kind there is.

Book the appointment with your doctor first. Then, if you would like the hour, we are in Frisco and we would be glad to see you.
