Update: I thought those $25 scalp scrubbers were just a gimmick for clients

A regular with chronic buildup asked me to try one during her wash, and I saw a visible difference in her scalp clarity after just two minutes. My manager in Charlotte said they've been quietly recommending them for oily scalps for months. Has anyone else started adding a quick scrub step to their basic wash services?

Honestly, I'm still on the fence about buying a separate tool for it. My old salon just had us use our fingertips with a gritty shampoo for the same kind of scrub. It worked fine, but maybe the tool gets deeper. I guess if clients are asking for it by name now, you gotta have it.

Listen, I was in the same spot last year. Clients kept asking for that specific scalp scrubber tool by name. Bought a cheap pack to try, and honestly, it does get a deeper clean than just fingers. The motion is different. But the real reason I stuck with it is that clients feel like they're getting a special treatment, which makes them happy and more likely to come back. It's a small cost for that good feeling.

Yeah, I grabbed a few to try after a client brought her own in. The scalp just looks and feels cleaner, right? Now I keep a couple on hand for anyone who wants that extra step.
