How to Recognize SCALP Conditions
And how to address it
Here at Ippodaro Salon (the San Antonio salon that prioritizes hair health), we are huge advocates for scalp health. Why? Well, in order to achieve any desired hair results, it’s important to get to the root of the problem (pun intended).
Below, you will find a lot of information. We strongly recommend booking a consultation with one of our hair healers to properly identify your scalp needs. If you live out of state, schedule a virtual consultation, and we can do our best to help. (Sometimes, we need to take a close-up look at your scalp in order to properly identify your needs. We do this by using the Tricho-Derm — a tool that provides a magnified view of your hair follicles and scalp).
