Believe or not, your hair has special needs, but more often than not we think a quick wash and trim are all we need. Not quite the case according to the experts at Patrick Saloon. I had the opportunity to experience the SEAH Hair Spa package, designed to give your hair the attention it deserves. Before the session starts, your hair condition is determined to identify the ideal range of products to be used. SEAH Hair Spa caters to four types of hair: demoisturised (normal to dry hair), coloured (colour-treated and highlighted hair), sophisticated (delicate, dry and matured hair) and stressed

This is no regular hair wash. My shampoo specialist (as I like to call her) used special massaging techniques, gently rubbing and kneading certain points on my scalp, slowly moving to the nape of my neck. Simply blissful! After some 20 minutes, the suds were rinsed off and a conditioner applied. To create a healthy shine, purify and regenerate the hair, a cream mask was applied all over and thoroughly rubbed in. The hair was then wrapped in a towel and left for 15 minutes. While waiting, I enjoyed a relaxing shoulder, neck and back rub. Don’t be shy to speak up and let them know if they are applying the right pressure – the friendly masseuse will be more than happy to oblige.
