Looking for a good pampering session? Why not treat your scalp to the best of the best with Shiseido Professional? The hair care leader has just launched a new add-on service to elevate your in-salon hair treatments—the Fuente Forte Gua Sha add-on service. Read Beauty Editor Red’s review of her full treatment here:

“When it comes to scalp care, I don’t play around. Great hair starts with a strong foundation (read: strong follicles), and making sure your scalp is in tip-top shape is crucial to keeping your roots in fighting shape. So, when I caught wind of Shiseido’s new and improved services, I popped by Hair Emporium at Arcoris for a full pampering. The treatment began with a consultation, in which my stylist Keith determined that I had a dry and sensitive scalp. From there he tailored my session to my needs.

“Cue: Three glorious hours of scalp massages, aromatherapy, a deep cleanse and, of course, a circulation-boosting and lymph-draining gua sha ritual using the Shiseido Professional Sublimic Fuente Forte Relax. Walking out of the salon, I swear my scalp has never felt so lightweight. My hair was also unbelievably soft and smooth—a huge switch-up from my usual frizzy, unkempt look. All in all, it’s a ritual I can’t recommend enough!”

Shiseido Professional treatments are available at participating salons nationwide.
