AMBER salon and headspa

AMBER salon and headspa is an Austin, Texas, hair salon and head spa focused on scalp health, dandruff care and hair loss support.

The head spa menu starts with a relaxation treatment that combines scalp care, detoxing, scrubbing and massage. It comes in a 30-minute version, best for short or no hair (from $65), and a one-hour version that adds a deep conditioning steam mask. You can add a blowout to any treatment or let your hair air dry. For specific concerns, the menu includes:

• Hair loss consultation: a scalp analysis with scalp-scoping technology, followed by an emailed report with recommendations
• Dandruff (dry scalp) buster: hyaluronic acid mesotherapy, ultrasonic skin scraping and a scalp facial
• Hair restoration scalp facial: mesotherapy, high frequency and scalp scoping to support hair growth

The spa is also a full-service salon, and its website points to color, cuts, extensions, memberships and an on-site trichologist. Reviewers praise the stylist's knowledge of scalp health and hair growth, the clear plans and product advice she gives, and appointments that feel relaxed and fun.

It suits anyone dealing with thinning, shedding or a dry, flaky scalp, and anyone who wants a scalp treatment and a salon visit in one place.
