Procedure

Process of Consultation with Client
Introduction
Scalp and hair treatment involves taking care of your scalp and hair to ensure they are healthy. Think of it like
giving your hair a special spa day. It can include using special shampoos, conditioners, oils, and masks to clean,
moisturize, nourish, and strengthen both the skin on your head (scalp) and your hair. Treatments might also help
with problems like dandruff, dry or oily scalp, and damaged or brittle hair. By doing these treatments, your hair can
look shinier, feel softer, and grow stronger. It’s like feeding your hair with the good stuff it needs to look its best!

Client Consultation Tools and Equipment for Scalp & Hair Treatment
1 Magnifying Lamp or Derma scope: This tool helps to closely examine the scalp and hair for any issues
such as dandruff, scalp irritation, hair breakage, or thinning. It provides a magnified view, making it easier to
diagnose the problem accurately.
2 Scalp Analysis Camera: A specialized camera that takes high-resolution images or videos of the scalp and
hair. It’s used to analyze the health of the scalp and hair follicles, helping in identifying specific issues and
tracking progress over time.
3 Hair Porosity Tester: This equipment tests the hair’s ability to absorb and retain moisture, which is crucial in
determining the right hair treatments and products for the client.
4 pH Strips: Used to measure the pH level of the scalp and hair. The ideal pH level for scalp and hair health
is slightly acidic, around 4.5 to 5.5. This helps in selecting the right products that will not disrupt the scalp’s
natural balance.
5 Trichoscope: A device used for trichoscopy, which is a method of hair and scalp evaluation. It allows for a
detailed examination of the hair shafts, scalp skin, and hair follicles at a magnification.
6 Consultation Forms/Questionnaires: These are used to record the client’s medical history, allergies, lifestyle,
current hair care regimen, and specific concerns or goals. This information is crucial for tailoring the treatment
to the client’s needs.
Process of Client Consultation for Scalp & Hair Treatment: Step-by-Step
1 Welcome and Comfort: Begin by welcoming the client into a comfortable setting where they feel at ease to
share their concerns and expectations.
2 Gathering Information: Use consultation forms or questionnaires to collect detailed information about the
client’s general health, hair care routine, lifestyle, diet, and any hair or scalp issues they are experiencing.

3 Visual Inspection: Conduct a visual inspection of the client’s hair and scalp using the naked eye, followed by
a more detailed examination with tools like a magnifying lamp, derma scope, or scalp analysis camera.
