A scalp health check at Changing Grooms uses magnified examination to assess your scalp and hair condition, identifying common concerns like dryness, oiliness, product build-up, or follicle changes that aren't always visible to the naked eye. The appointment includes a consultation about your hair care routine and lifestyle, followed by a detailed inspection to create a personalised plan for healthier hair and scalp.

What the Assessment Involves
Your scalp health check begins with a discussion about any symptoms, your current hair care habits, and lifestyle factors that might affect scalp condition. The team at our Weymouth salon then uses magnification tools to examine your scalp and follicles in detail, revealing:
- Scalp texture and moisture balance – identifying dry patches, oiliness, or irritation
- Product build-up – residue from styling products or previous treatments
- Follicle condition – signs of healthy growth or areas needing attention
- Flaking or sensitivity – understanding the root cause of discomfort
The process is quick, comfortable, and completely non-invasive.
Who Benefits from a Scalp Check
This service suits anyone wanting to understand their scalp better, particularly if you're experiencing:
- Persistent dryness, itching, or flaking
- Thinning hair or changes in hair texture
- Product build-up from styling routines
- Uncertainty about which hair care products suit your scalp type
Whether you're new to scalp care or looking to refine your routine, the check provides clarity and direction. If your assessment reveals signs that may require medical attention—such as inflammation, sores, or sudden hair loss—the team can advise on seeking further evaluation from a healthcare professional.
Your Personalised Recommendations
Following your examination, you'll receive tailored advice based on what the assessment reveals. Recommendations typically include:
- Adjustments to your cleansing routine or product choices
- Suggestions for targeted scalp treatments available at Changing Grooms
- Guidance on reducing build-up and maintaining scalp health between visits
The goal isn't to diagnose medical conditions but to give you a clearer picture of your scalp's needs and a practical plan to support healthier hair. For the best results, following the recommended routine consistently makes a real difference to long-term scalp and hair condition.

Ann Mcteague
I started going to Changing Grooms in January after my hairdresser of 20 years retired. I found the salon online and walked in one day—Nicki was so welcoming and offered great advice about my hair, which is very curly and prone to dryness. She quickly identified that plastic from previous products was the issue. Ten months on, I’m still a regular. My hair is now cut, coloured, and occasionally treated to a spa and scalp treatment—all of which have made a real difference. I’d definitely recommend the salon—it’s friendly, relaxing, and brilliant at managing my hair.
