What the treatment includes
The Antidote Pro Scalp Treatment is a three-step salon service: a scalp-care shampoo to cleanse and prepare the skin, a targeted scalp mask delivered with our signature scalp massage, and a leave-in scalp spray that is applied before styling. This package does not include a blow-dry style finish, so styling is a separate option.
Every appointment begins with a brief assessment of scalp comfort and sensitivity so the stylist can adapt application pressure and product layering. Because the treatment is modular, the team can adjust the mask and massage to suit different hair lengths, scalp conditions, and any prior salon services you mention at check-in.
How the service is performed
On arrival at our West End Landmark–Van Dorn suite, your stylist confirms your scalp concerns before beginning the shampoo step to remove oil, product build-up, and surface debris. The scalp mask is applied while you are seated; our signature massage technique is used during the mask phase to ensure even coverage and professional contact with the scalp.
After the mask is completed and rinsed, a leave-in scalp spray is lightly applied prior to any styling you elect. Because the treatment does not include a blow-dry finish, your stylist will discuss add-on styling options or advise how to finish your look at home, based on your routine and hair type.
Aftercare and follow-up suggestions
Your stylist will outline simple aftercare, including how the leave-in product fits into your at-home routine and whether to avoid specific styling products for a short period. If you have questions about product compatibility or want a follow-up plan, the stylist can recommend a maintenance approach based on your scalp sensitivity and lifestyle.
The LABoratory is located at 205 S. Whiting Street, Suite 306, in Alexandria’s Landmark–Van Dorn area, making it convenient for clients from nearby Arlington, Fairfax, and Washington, DC. When booking, consider commute times and whether you want additional styling services that are not included in the base treatment.
