Professional Scalp Therapy Brassfield

Your Scalp Issues Have an Expiration Date

You’re tired of flakes on your shoulders. The constant itching. Hair that won’t grow properly because your scalp can’t support it. Here’s what changes when your scalp is actually healthy.

The itching stops within days because we’re addressing the inflammation causing it. Flakes disappear as we rebalance your scalp’s oil production and clear blocked follicles. Your hair starts growing from a foundation that can actually support strong, thick growth.

This isn’t about buying expensive shampoos forever. It’s about getting your scalp back to functioning the way it should—naturally balanced, properly circulating nutrients to your follicles, and free from the buildup that’s been sabotaging your hair.

Most clients notice immediate relief after their first treatment. Real improvement in scalp condition happens over 4-6 weeks. Long-term scalp health? That’s what we’re building toward.

Jacqueline Grace has been named Best Esthetician in Wake County three consecutive years. She holds first place internationally in the Pigmentation Artist of the Year category at The Skin Games. We’re HydraFacial Master Certified, placing us among the top practitioners worldwide.

But here’s what matters for your scalp: Jacqueline understands the science behind why your scalp acts the way it does. She can tell the difference between seborrheic dermatitis and contact irritation. Between fungal overgrowth and simple dryness. Between circulation issues and follicle damage.

In Brassfield and throughout Granville County, we see clients who’ve been misdiagnosing their own scalp conditions for years. Using dandruff shampoo on dry scalp. Moisturizing treatments on fungal conditions. Getting the diagnosis right is step one to actually solving the problem.

Scalp Treatment Process Brassfield

No Guesswork, Just Results

First, we figure out what’s actually wrong. Scalp analysis reveals whether you’re dealing with excess sebum production, fungal imbalances, blocked follicles, poor circulation, or inflammatory conditions. Different problems need different solutions.

Your treatment is built around what we find. Oily scalp gets deep cleansing with sebum-regulating products and techniques that don’t trigger more oil production. Dry, flaky conditions get gentle exfoliation and moisture restoration without heavy products that cause buildup.

If circulation is poor, we incorporate massage techniques that bring blood flow and nutrients to your follicles. If there’s product buildup blocking your follicles, we use professional-grade cleansing that goes deeper than any at-home treatment can reach.

You leave understanding exactly what was causing your scalp issues and with a clear plan for maintaining the results. No mystery products, no wondering if it’s working.

What's Actually Included in Your Treatment

Every scalp treatment includes comprehensive analysis, deep follicle cleansing, targeted exfoliation, therapeutic massage for circulation, and professional-grade products matched to your specific scalp condition. You’re not getting a generic facial treatment adapted for your scalp.

In Granville County, we account for local factors affecting your scalp. Hard water that leaves mineral buildup. Seasonal humidity changes that throw off your scalp’s oil balance. Indoor heating and cooling systems that create dryness. Your treatment plan considers these environmental factors.

We also address lifestyle factors that impact scalp health. Stress patterns that trigger inflammatory responses. Hair products that might be contributing to buildup. Washing frequency that either over-strips or under-cleanses your scalp. Diet factors that affect oil production.

Your service includes detailed home care guidance, product recommendations specific to your scalp type, and follow-up support between appointments.

How do I know if my scalp problems need professional treatment?

If over-the-counter dandruff shampoos haven’t solved your problem after 4-6 weeks of consistent use, professional assessment is your next step. Many people waste months using the wrong products because they’ve misidentified their condition. Red flags that indicate you need professional care: persistent itching despite treatment, scalp irritation that’s getting worse, flakes that keep returning no matter what you use, hair thinning in areas where your scalp is problematic, or scalp conditions that affect your confidence and daily life. We frequently see clients who think they have dandruff when they actually have dry scalp, or vice versa. These conditions require opposite treatments. Using dandruff products on dry scalp makes it worse. Professional diagnosis gets you on the right treatment path immediately instead of months of trial and error.
Dandruff and dry scalp create similar symptoms but have completely different causes, so they need opposite treatments. Getting this wrong makes your problem worse, not better. Dandruff comes from excess oil production and fungal overgrowth. The flakes are typically larger, yellowish, and oily. Treatment focuses on controlling sebum production and addressing Malassezia yeast with antifungal ingredients and deep cleansing techniques. Dry scalp results from insufficient moisture. Flakes are smaller, white, and dry. Your entire scalp feels tight and uncomfortable. Treatment involves gentle exfoliation and moisture restoration without products that create buildup or feed fungal growth. We can distinguish between these conditions immediately during scalp analysis, which saves you weeks of using the wrong approach.
Most clients start with treatments every 2-3 weeks until their scalp condition stabilizes, then transition to monthly maintenance. The exact schedule depends on your specific condition and how quickly your scalp responds. Active dandruff or seborrheic dermatitis typically requires more frequent initial treatments—sometimes weekly for the first month. Mild dryness or general scalp health maintenance might only need monthly sessions from the start. We adjust frequency based on your progress. Some clients maintain balanced scalp health with quarterly treatments once we’ve resolved underlying issues. Others benefit from consistent monthly care, especially if they have naturally oily skin, use a lot of styling products, or live in environments that stress their scalp. Your scalp will tell us what it needs, and we modify your schedule accordingly.
Scalp treatments improve the environment where your hair grows, which can significantly impact hair thickness and growth patterns. When follicles are blocked, inflamed, or not receiving proper circulation, hair growth suffers—even if you don’t see obvious scalp problems. Professional scalp therapy removes debris from follicles, improves blood flow to deliver nutrients to hair roots, and reduces inflammation that damages follicles. Research shows this approach can reduce hair loss and improve hair density, even in people without visible scalp conditions. However, scalp treatment isn’t a cure for genetic male or female pattern baldness. What it does is optimize your scalp’s ability to support whatever hair growth potential you have. Many clients notice their existing hair feels thicker and stronger, and areas of thinning show improvement when the scalp health issues are addressed. Think of it as creating the best possible growing environment for your hair.
Your first visit begins with a comprehensive consultation and detailed scalp analysis. We examine your scalp condition under magnification, discuss your specific concerns, review your current hair care routine, and identify factors that might be contributing to your scalp issues. The treatment portion involves deep cleansing to remove buildup from follicles, gentle exfoliation if needed to clear dead skin cells, and application of therapeutic products targeted to your specific condition. If poor circulation is contributing to your problems, we include massage techniques to stimulate blood flow. The entire process is comfortable and relaxing. Most clients find immediate relief from itching or irritation. After treatment, we explain what we found during analysis, discuss your scalp’s current condition, and provide specific guidance for home care between visits. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of what’s been causing your scalp problems and a plan to address them.
We provide supportive care for various scalp conditions including seborrheic dermatitis, though we always recommend consulting with a dermatologist for proper medical diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions. Our role is to provide professional scalp care that helps manage symptoms and improve overall scalp health. For seborrheic dermatitis, we focus on gentle treatments that reduce inflammation, help control fungal overgrowth, and maintain scalp balance without causing additional irritation. We use professional products specifically formulated for sensitive, reactive scalp conditions and work collaboratively with your healthcare providers when needed. If your condition requires medical treatment, we provide complementary care that supports your overall scalp health while you follow your doctor’s treatment plan. Many clients find that professional scalp care helps them maintain better control of their condition and reduces flare-ups when combined with appropriate medical treatment.
