The ScalpTox™

ScalpTox was born from a simple truth: in Japan, the dry head spa is not a luxury — it's a ritual. The same intention you bring to caring for your body should be brought to your scalp — consistently, precisely, with purpose. Japanese technique is built on that philosophy. Pressure point work, deep circulation massage, layered serum application — every step has a reason. Nothing is decorative.

ScalpTox brings that practice to New York City — because it doesn't exist here the way it should.

Ikuko　いくこ

Ikuko began her career as a hair stylist in Japan before moving to New York in 2000, where she refined her craft alongside the city's most forward-thinking salons. In 2013 she established her own practice, guided by a single conviction: that a healthy scalp is the foundation of beautiful hair and lasting wellbeing.

Working from a mildly acidic (weak-acidic) approach to scalp care, she developed a treatment philosophy centered on deep detoxification—thoroughly clearing buildup and impurities from the pores to restore balance at the root. Her results have earned a devoted following, with clients valuing the method as much for its effect on scalp health and hair vitality as for the experience itself.

She holds a New York State Cosmetology License.

Scalp Therapist

The ScalpTox Method

A precision-based scalp wellness protocol combining Japanese head spa tradition with modern regenerative science. Every session is designed to reset, restore, and rebalance — from root to strand.

01

Diagnose

A thorough scalp analysis identifies your individual environment — sebum balance, follicle health, tension patterns — before any treatment begins.

02

Detoxify

Professional-grade cleansing removes product buildup, excess sebum, and environmental stressors that block follicle function and slow hair growth.

03

Restore

Targeted actives — peptides, stem cell derivatives, and Japanese botanical extracts — nourish the scalp and support long-term follicular health.

04

Activate

Specialized massage techniques drawn from Japanese head spa tradition stimulate microcirculation, release tension, and awaken dormant follicles.

05

Protect

Each session closes with a barrier-building treatment and a personalized at-home protocol — results we create in the salon are designed to last.

06

Track

Progress is documented across sessions so you can see your scalp health evolve — measurable results, not just a feeling.

A thorough scalp analysis identifies your individual environment — sebum balance, follicle health, tension patterns — before any treatment begins.
