A healthy scalp creates healthy hair. But product buildup, oil, hard water, pollution, dry skin, sweat, and styling residue can clog hair follicles, block shine, weaken strands, and lead to flakiness or irritation. Over time, this buildup prevents your hair from looking, feeling, and performing the way it should.


At Craft Collective Salon Group in North Hills, our Scalp Detox & Clarifying Treatments deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and refresh the scalp while restoring balance and preparing the hair for optimal hydration and shine. This service supports long-term hair health and enhances every other treatment in your routine.

You may benefit from this treatment if you notice:


• Excessive dryness or flaking

• Oiliness within 24 hours of washing

• Itchy scalp

• Heavy, limp hair
