TikTok and Instagram have been serving me lots of content about a spa service called a scalp detox lately and I was so glad I found an awesome local place to get them! I booked my appointment with Embrace Your Beauty located at Salon on the Hill above The Local 937. Here’s all about it.
What is a scalp detox?
A scalp detox is like a facial but for your scalp instead of your face. Just like with a facial, your professional will consult with you to find out what issues you may be having and come up with the best plan for your treatment.
The scalp detox service at Embrace Your Beauty started with a consultation, then Embrace owner Aj Moya prepped my scalp with an oil while my hair was still dry. Warm oil is applied later along with a scalp scrub, steam, shampoo, and conditioner. Aj used an LED treatment for me as well.
Afterward, I sat under a dryer – Aj provided snacks, drinks, and things to do while you wait.
Aj explained that for most people getting this treatment monthly is the perfect cadence.
Should you get a scalp detox?
Aj says that “anyone and everyone” could get a scalp detox “because it can be customized to fit everyone’s needs.” She even has a version of scalp detox that helps people with dandruff.
Also, it’s a great spa service to get for relaxation. It’s very peaceful and calming to have someone wash your hair anyway, but this service is especially relaxing and customized for you.
Also, Embrace Your Beauty is a welcoming environment – “this is a safe space for everyone,” explains Aj.

Aj explains that she realized there was a need in Dayton for this service. “The scalp is your skin. And so many people suffer from dry scalp, oily scalp, and dandruff. I want to be able to help everyone I can – it’s been very well received in Dayton!”
