If you are thinking of the ‘shaved look’, in the upcoming week prior to your appointment, we recommend that you keep your scalp moisturised and shave your hair with clippers or a foil razor to allow the air access to your scalp. On the day of your treatment you should wash your hair to remove any product and where possible shave your head. Alternatively, we can shave your head for you; this will be discussed in your free consultation.
If you are having the treatment to correct the density of your scalp to make your hair look fuller and thicker, we require you to wash your hair on the day of the treatment to remove any product build up. By washing your hair, we can match the pigment to the tone of your hair colour correctly.

Pre-treatment instructions

 

DON’TS

• Do not drink alcohol for at least 24hrs prior to the day of your treatment. This will thin your blood causing irritation to your scalp during your treatment, ultimately affecting the desired effect of your treatment.
• No high stimulant drinks on the day prior to your treatment such as, ‘pre workout drinks’ normally used for exercising. This can make you excessively sweat and increase the sensitivity of your scalp, affecting the results of your treatment.
• Avoid exposing your scalp to the sun for long periods 3 days prior to your treatment. This can cause sun burn and increase the sensitivity of your scalp, affecting the results of your treatment.
• Avoid sunbeds 3 days prior to your treatment. This can cause your scalp to become more sensitive, affecting the results of your treatment.
• Avoid taking blood thinning medication such as aspirin 24hrs prior to your treatment unless this is part of your prescribed medication.

DO’S

• Lightly moisturise your scalp every day 7 days prior to your treatment (if you’re aiming for the buzz cut treatment). This will cause the scalp to become soft and less dry, making the treatment easier for our technician and yourself.
• Eat prior to your treatment. This will increase your energy levels, making you feel more comfortable throughout the treatment session.
• Stay hydrated. This will increase your energy levels, making you feel more comfortable throughout your treatment.
• Get a good night’s sleep.
• Bring a cap or silk hat (optional) as straight after your treatment your scalp will look red and agitated so on your travels you might want to cover your scalp.
