Wet or dry
Two ways to take the hour
Both begin with a scalp check and end with a few minutes to settle. The difference is the water.

|---|---|---|
| Water on your hair | Wet sessionYes, warm water at the basin | Dry sessionNo water at all |
| Where you sit | Wet sessionA reclined chair, head back at the basin | Dry sessionThe same chair, tipped back with the basin set aside |
| Your hair afterward | Wet sessionTowel-dried, or blow-dried if you add it | Dry sessionAs dry as you arrived |
| Length | Wet session60 or 90 minutes | Dry session45 or 60 minutes |
| What you wear | Wet sessionA robe we give you and a towel at your neck | Dry sessionYour own clothes with a towel across your shoulders |
| A good fit when | Wet sessionYou have the time and are going home after | Dry sessionYou are going back to work or out for the evening |
| Good to bring | Wet sessionA hair tie, and a brush if you will style your hair after | Dry sessionNothing in particular |
The wet session
Warm water, a soft brush
You lie back at the basin. Your therapist washes your hair, works a soft brush across your scalp and rinses.
A slow massage sits in the middle of the session, then a long rinse and a towel. If you add a blow-dry, you leave dry.
A scalp check and a talk about your hair
A cleanse with warm water at the basin
A slow massage with a soft brush and fingertips
A rinse and a towel dry
The dry session
No water, the same care
You stay in your clothes, with a towel across your shoulders, and your hair stays as it is.
Your therapist looks at your scalp, then works a warm brush and a little plain oil across it, and finishes with a hot towel at the neck.
