    Scalp & Hair Treatments, Perms and Relaxers in Royal Oak & Utica

    Performed by supervised cosmetology students under licensed instructor supervision at our Royal Oak and Utica campuses.

    Treatment services are diagnostic before they are cosmetic. Your student examines the scalp and the hair shaft, notes flaking, oiliness, tension breakage or chemical damage, and selects a protocol with the instructor rather than defaulting to a generic mask.

    Scalp Restoration targets the skin rather than the strand, using exfoliation, steam and targeted serums to clear buildup and calm irritation. The Moroccan Clay Steam Mask draws out product residue and mineral deposits from hard water — a common problem across Metro Detroit. Molecular Repair works inside the cortex to rebuild the bonds that heat and lightening break down.

    Texture services are also on the menu. Perms create lasting curl or body wave; relaxers smooth tightly coiled hair with careful timing and base protection. Both are chemical services taught with strict strand testing, which is exactly why they belong in a supervised teaching environment.
