Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Antidot Treatment.

The Antidot Treatment is a salon-applied soothing protocol that calms scalp sensitivity and neutralizes irritants. Applied before or during chemical services, it reduces redness, stinging, and mild allergic responses, creating a safer, more comfortable experience while preserving hair integrity.

We recommend adding Antidot when booking any chemical service—color, lightening, perms, or relaxers—or if you have sensitive scalp history. Your stylist will assess and apply it pre-, mid-, or post-processing to maximize protection based on treatment type and sensitivity level.

No—Antidot is formulated to be compatible with salon chemical services. It soothes and protects without altering color uptake or processing action when applied according to our stylist’s protocol and manufacturer guidelines.

Protection varies by client and service, but calming effects generally last 24–72 hours post-treatment. For ongoing sensitivity management, ask about take-home calming products and scalp care tips to extend comfort and support the scalp’s recovery.

Yes. Antidot focuses on scalp soothing and is formulated to support compromised hair environments. It won’t repair extensive damage but reduces irritation during processing; your stylist may combine it with strengthening treatments for best results.

Absolutely. If you’ve had reactions before, we’ll conduct a patch test and include Antidot to minimize sensitivity. While not a substitute for medical allergy testing, it reduces minor reactions and helps our stylists proceed cautiously.
