WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
Hear firsthand experiences from our satisfied customers.
"I made an appt for my daughter for the head spa package and I was able to get an appt with her at the last minute, so that was awesome.
They look at your scalp to determine what you need and go from there. And the treatment itself was amazing. It’s so relaxing, but you’re also treating your hair and scalp at the same time. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone."
"Ashley is professional and fun! I learned so much about scalp health and how important it is for healthy hair. During the scalp camera assessment, she explained how the scalp looks, build-up, and new hair growth. You can't help but relax during the spa treatment! The head massages and the cleaners definitely help you relax. The room is comfy and relaxing. After she blow drys your hair, it is incredible to see the difference in how clean my scalp was! I definitely would recommend Scissors & Ink for your first or next head spa!!!"
"Britany was awesome!! It was first time coming and experiencing a head spa, but wow!
It was so cool to see my scalp up close and understand how important it is to keep your scalp healthy.
The treatment itself is beyond relaxing, I couldn't help but fall asleep! Also need to mention that everything is heated and it is such a small detail I appreciate!!
I would definitely recommend coming by and experiencing the head spa! I know I can't wait to come back🤍"
"Ashley is amazing! Her head spa is so relaxing and rejuvenating. She’s knowledgeable, professional, and makes every visit incredible. A must-try if you’re looking for the best in hair and scalp care."
