Mala McAlpin Introducing hair treatments to your spa offerings can elevate your services in an instant, adding a touch of luxury and improving the sensory experience for your clients. So simple to incorporate into existing treatments, these could be carried out during facial masks or steams, or added to your scalp massage as part of your regular massages or body treatments. Or perhaps you might like to introduce it to your menu as an add-on extra.
However you choose to structure them, whether it’s a quick spritz and comb-through or a more indulgent oil treatment complete with hot towel wrap, hair treatments are easy for your therapists to implement, low-cost, quick to carry out, and most importantly, an absolute delight for your clients. And what better time of year to add these to your offerings than winter, when our hair is at its driest?
Here are some of our favourite spa-ready hair treatments:
La Biosthétique Huile Nourrissante
This rich organic oil repairs, regenerates and calms dry, sensitive hair and scalps and restores balance – perfect for windswept winter hair. Soothing canola oil reduces itchiness and inflammatory irritations on the scalp, and natural Vitamin E gives the ultimate boost of velvety soft care. For an extra portion of moisture, fine lady’s smock seed oil soothes the dehydrated scalp and dry hair. Huile Nourrissante is designed especially for all spa treatments and hair massages. Simply along the parting of the scalp, lightly massage in and distribute into the hair lengths. To enhance the effect Huile Nourrissante can also be heated up, just pop some in a bowl and into your hot towel cabby prior to treatment.
Completely free from synthetic colourings and perfumes, silicones, synthetic care substances, paraffin oils and parabens.
