Trichology

Introduction

The Standard of
Scalp Care

If you want to understand what is happening with your scalp and hair before choosing a service, trichology is a good place to start. It is the study of hair and scalp health, and we use it to guide personalized care.

At Refined Hair of Austin, trichology means a careful look at your scalp and hair so recommendations are based on what you actually need.

We are a salon-based studio, not a medical clinic, so this is an assessment, not a medical diagnosis. For medical conditions, a healthcare provider is the right first step.

Your assessment is guided by Tina, our scalp health specialist, who brings cosmetology training and a background in the medical field to every consultation. She focuses on understanding your hair and scalp and supporting you with genuine care. She works in a salon setting and is not a physician or dermatologist.

What Trichology Means at Refined Hair

Trichology focuses on the health and condition of the hair and scalp. In our studio, that translates into a hands-on assessment: we look at your scalp and hair, talk through what you are noticing, and use what we learn to shape a plan. It informs which services may help and what to expect, without making medical claims.

What a Scalp Analysis Involves

A scalp analysis is a structured look at your scalp and hair condition. It gives us a clearer starting point and gives you a better understanding of your options.
You can book a scalp analysis on its own for $75, or as part of our three-month Scalp Analysis and Treatment Plan, which pairs the assessment with regular treatments and maintenance products.
