What will happen during a treatment?
You will be seated comfortably, fully clothed, in a chair. Your shoulders, upper back, upper arms, neck, scalp and face will be treated to wonderful techniques that will promote circulation and relaxation. The final technique is an energy balancing of the top three chakras or energy centers. If the option to have Ayurvedic Hair Oil applied to your scalp and hair has been chosen, the oil will be added at the end of the session. The oil facilitates the removal of loose dandruff and revitalizes hair making it more manageable, healthy and lustrous.
Note: To have the oil massaged into the scalp and hair at the end of the session is optional.
