Welcome to our latest podcast episode. I'm Sarah McDaid, the owner, hair loss practitioner, and skincare specialist at Iris House. Joining me is Cody, a dedicated hairstylist and head spa specialist at our salon. Our episode today focuses on demystifying a pioneering treatment that has raised curiosity and inquiries among our clients: The Head Spa.

We began providing this revolutionary scalp treatment last fall, following extensive research and training. In our quest for scalp health and hair growth, we've learned how to alleviate common issues like dandruff, psoriasis, and more severe scalp disorders, and incorporated these solutions into the Head Spa experience.

In this episode, we offer an in-depth understanding of what Head Spa entails. It's far more than a glorified shampoo—it provides a complete detox, rejuvenation process, and a deep exfoliation treatment for the scalp. We also share how our journey towards launching this treatment involves much personal experience with hair damage, leading to a profound understanding of clients facing hair and scalp issues.

With our skills and expertise, we treat scalps and hairstyle clients traveling from afar to our Kalamazoo, Michigan location. This spa treatment not only helps clients relax but also promotes healthier, shinier, and thicker hair growth. As we believe, just like a plant needs fertile soil to thrive, your hair requires a healthy scalp to grow well.

We round off this episode by discussing our current booking schedules, our new offerings, including a second spa room welcoming for group sessions, and an in-depth discussion about various Head Spa treatments. If you're curious about our visually transforming progress, you can check out our before-and-after images of scalp and hair transformations on our social media platforms.
