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.

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.
