Scalp analysis with 3-mode diagnostic camera
Every scalp treatment at Miin begins with a diagnostic scalp analysis — not a quick glance, but a magnified camera examination using three different light modes to see what's really happening beneath the surface.
- HD natural light — Shows your scalp as it appears to the naked eye, magnified. Useful for assessing surface oil, flaking, and redness.
- Detail mode — Shows what's happening beneath the surface — buildup, irritation, and how your hair roots are doing.
- UV light — Exposes bacteria, buildup from dandruff or flaking, and clogged pores that are completely invisible under normal lighting.
Before and after you can actually see
Your stylist captures a freeze-frame of the most affected area of your scalp before treatment begins. After the treatment, the same area is re-examined under the same camera settings. You see both images side by side — so the improvement isn't just a feeling, it's visible.
This scalp analysis in Singapore is a key part of what makes the treatment effective: it tells your stylist exactly what your scalp needs, and it shows you exactly what changed. Most salons skip this step entirely or use a single-mode camera. Our 3-mode system gives a complete picture.
What happens during the 30 minutes
The treatment follows a structured cleanse-treat-mask protocol. Each step uses professional Korean scalp care products selected for your scalp type.
- Scalp consultation — 3-mode camera analysis to assess your scalp condition. Your stylist identifies the target areas and captures a before image.
- Deep cleansing shampoo — A specialised anti-hairloss shampoo is massaged into the scalp for 2–3 minutes. Warm water fills the basin — the warmth makes this step relaxing while boosting the cleanse.
- Scalp treatment solution — A targeted treatment blend is mixed fresh and applied with a brush for even, thorough coverage. Your stylist massages it in using gentle, slow, repetitive movements — no aggressive scrubbing.
- Warm water rinse — The basin is filled with warm water and the solution is scooped off slowly by hand. The sound and warmth of the water make this the most relaxing step — many clients fall asleep here.
- Scalp mask — A nourishing mask is brushed through your scalp with gentle strokes for 2–3 minutes. A warm water rinse follows, with a light neck massage to finish.
- Post-treatment check — Back at the chair, your stylist re-examines the same area under the camera. You see the before and after side by side.
What scalp concerns does it address?
The treatment targets the most common scalp issues caused by Singapore's humid climate, stress, and daily product buildup. Here's what our scalp treatment at Orchard addresses.
- Oily scalp — Excess sebum that makes hair look flat and greasy within hours of washing. The deep cleanse removes buildup and the treatment solution rebalances oil production. If you're searching for an oily scalp treatment in Singapore that fits into a salon visit, this is designed for exactly that.
- Dry, flaky scalp — Tightness, itching, and visible flakes. The mask step restores moisture and soothes irritation without weighing hair down.
- Sensitive scalp — Redness, tenderness, or reactions to products. Gentle formulations and soft massage technique avoid aggravation while still delivering results.
- Dandruff — Persistent flaking caused by the buildup causing dandruff or flaking or dryness. The UV camera identifies the extent of the issue, and the treatment targets the root cause rather than just masking symptoms.
Why it works as an add-on
This Korean scalp treatment works best as a 30-minute add-on to any hair service — cut, perm, colour, or treatment. When paired with another service, it slots in naturally without adding extra basin time or a separate blow-dry.
You can also book it as a standalone visit ($108, includes wash and blow-dry) if you want a dedicated scalp session. Either way, it's an efficient way to address scalp health — your stylist treats your scalp with a focused, structured protocol rather than a long, drawn-out appointment.
How often should you get a scalp treatment?
For ongoing maintenance, we recommend a scalp treatment every 4–6 weeks — roughly matching your regular haircut or colour schedule. This keeps buildup from accumulating and gives your stylist a regular check on scalp health trends over time.
If you have active concerns (persistent oiliness, dandruff, or irritation), your stylist may suggest a shorter interval initially — every 2–3 weeks for 2–3 sessions — then moving to monthly maintenance once the condition stabilises.
Between appointments, your stylist will recommend a home care shampoo suited to your scalp type — whether that's an oil-control formula or a hydrating one — based on what the camera analysis reveals.
