Scalp Treatments in London
Healthy hair starts at the scalp. Our scalp treatments are short, focused sessions, each built around one job: stimulating the follicles, clearing build-up, or bringing a stressed scalp back into balance. Think of them as a facial for your scalp, chosen for what your scalp needs right now.
Each one takes 25 minutes, and they work alongside our red light therapy and microneedling. Every plan starts with a free consultation, including a scalp analysis, at our salon at 6a Rathbone Square, W1T 1EB.
Who it's for
Our scalp treatments suit you if:
- your hair feels thinner, finer or flatter than it used to
- your scalp feels oily, tight or flaky, or your hair feels coated
- hard water, swimming or styling products leave build-up behind
- you want practical scalp care that fits into a lunch break
Looking for something longer and more relaxing? Our head spa is a nine-step ritual for scalp and lengths, with massage and a blow-dry.
What happens
- Free consultation and scalp analysis. A video assessment, then an in-salon consultation where we look closely at your scalp and talk about your goals.
- Your recommendation. The treatment, or combination, that suits your scalp.
- Your treatment. Usually an exfoliation or cleanse first, then a targeted serum, lotion or treatment worked into the scalp. It takes 25 minutes.
- Finish your way. Scalp treatments don't include a blow-dry, so you can add a rough dry (£20) or a blow-dry and style (£50), or add 10 minutes of red light therapy (£30).

Part of your free in-salon consultation
All scalp treatments take 25 minutes and don't include a blow-dry.
Red light therapy (LED / LLLT) for hair
Red light therapy, sometimes called low-level light therapy or LLLT, uses gentle red light on the scalp. Our CE-approved red light panel gives you a full "light bath" in a private booth. You simply sit back for 10 minutes.
Research into red light therapy for hair loss is ongoing. Light may influence cellular activity and processes associated with hair growth, which is why we offer it as a supportive step alongside scalp care rather than a treatment on its own. It's available as a £30 add-on to any treatment, and a red light bath is already one of the nine steps in every head spa.
Results and timeline
Straight after a treatment, your scalp should feel cleaner and fresher. Changes in the hair itself take longer. Hair grows in cycles over months, so scalp care may help support growth gradually, and consistency matters more than any single visit. We'll talk through what's realistic for you, and whether pairing scalp treatments with red light or microneedling makes sense.

FAQs
What is a scalp treatment?
A scalp treatment is a short, targeted session for the skin on your head, a bit like a facial for your scalp. Ours usually exfoliate or cleanse first, then apply a serum or treatment chosen for one concern, such as follicle stimulation, build-up or balance.
Can a scalp treatment help with hair loss?
A healthy scalp is the best starting point for healthy hair, and our treatments may help support the scalp environment your hair grows from. If thinning or shedding is your main concern, we'll look at the whole picture at your free consultation, which may include microneedling or nutrition support.
How is a scalp treatment different from a head spa?
Scalp treatments take 25 minutes and focus on one scalp concern. The head spa is a longer nine-step ritual for scalp and lengths, with a head massage, red light bath, mask and blow-dry.
Does red light therapy work for hair loss?
Research is still developing. Light may influence cellular activity and processes associated with hair growth, so we offer it as a supportive add-on (£30, 10 minutes) alongside scalp care, not as a cure.
Which scalp treatment is right for me?
That's what the free scalp analysis is for. We look at your scalp in the salon and recommend the treatment that suits it, so you don't have to guess.
How often should I have a scalp treatment?
It depends on your scalp and your goals. We'll suggest a rhythm that suits you at your consultation.
