A Holistic Ritual That Nourishes Hair, Heals the Scalp & Grounds the Soul
If you're someone who’s cut toxins from your diet, swapped your skincare, and found comfort in acupuncture or breathwork — yet your hair still feels tired, your scalp still inflamed, and your nervous system still on edge — there’s one ritual you’re likely missing: the scalp facial.
At The Salty Crown Salon in Encinitas, we don’t think of scalp care as a trend. We see it as essential care — a chance to restore balance to the often-forgotten root of your vitality: your crown.
Let’s break it down.
✨ What Exactly Is a Scalp Facial?
A scalp facial is a therapeutic head spa treatment that deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and nourishes the scalp using filtered mineral water, organic oils, and calming massage.
It’s not a medical procedure. It’s not just a “scalp scrub.” It’s a full-body exhale delivered through touch, hydration, and holistic ingredients — designed to detox the scalp and reset your nervous system at the same time.
Our scalp facials include:
- Gentle exfoliation to clear product buildup and dead skin
- Kangen and Anespa mineral water rinses to hydrate and purify
- Therapeutic massage to increase blood flow and energetic flow
- Non-toxic oils and botanicals to nourish follicles and skin
- Space to breathe, unwind, and let go
🌿 Benefits for Hair, Scalp & Nervous System
1. Supports Hair Growth Naturally
Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp. By removing buildup, increasing circulation, and feeding the follicles with nutrients, scalp facials create the ideal environment for new hair to grow — without chemicals or medications.
2. Calms Inflammation and Itchiness
Whether caused by stress, hormones, or harsh products, scalp inflammation is incredibly common — and incredibly uncomfortable. Our mineral-rich treatments help to cool, calm, and soothe irritated skin, so you can feel relief and rebuild your barrier naturally.
3. Releases Nervous System Tension
Your head holds more stress than you realize. Through intentional touch, breath cues, and a calming environment, our scalp rituals help regulate your nervous system — the root cause behind much of our modern imbalance.
Clients often leave saying they feel “lighter,” “clearer,” and “like they just came from a yoga class for their scalp.”
4. Detoxifies from Environmental Toxins
Air pollution, product residue, chlorine, and synthetic fragrances accumulate over time — suffocating your follicles and dulling your hair. Our filtered water technology (Kangen + Anespa) and botanical blends help your body release what’s not serving it — so your scalp can breathe again.
💡 Is a Scalp Facial Right for You?
If you’re experiencing:
- Dry, itchy, or flaky scalp
- Hormonal hair loss or postpartum shedding
- Overstimulation, tension, or burnout
- A desire to shift your beauty practices into deeper alignment
…then yes. This sacred ritual was made for you.
We believe scalp care shouldn’t just “feel good.” It should feel safe. Nourishing. And soul-returning.

The Salty Crown is more than a salon — it’s a wellness sanctuary. We combine beauty and nervous system care in every service. That means no loud noise, no harsh chemicals, and no rushed appointments — just intentional, sacred, and designed to nourish you deeply.
We recommend monthly sessions to maintain a healthy scalp and support long-term hair growth. Many clients also join our membership program for consistent care and added perks like product discounts and priority scheduling.
We use a Kangen K8 ionizer and Anespa mineral spa system, which transform ordinary water into detoxifying, pH-balanced, antioxidant-rich hydration. This water supports scalp healing, reduces inflammation, and enhances absorption of nourishing products.
Nope! It's encouraged for you to come as you are with dirty hair. We’ll cleanse your scalp thoroughly during the treatment, and we’ll guide you on post-care (which usually includes leaving in nourishing oils for a few hours to let them fully absorb).
