Energy haircut, scalp massage and retreats: your questions
Discovering the energy haircut or the La Nomade Alchimiste retreats? Here are the answers to the most frequent questions.
The Au Cheveu de l'Âme experience
- It is a haircut that looks at hair through a holistic approach. Your hair is worked section by section, in connection with the meridians of traditional Chinese medicine, using a straight razor. The aim is to bring vitality back to your hair and offer a genuine moment of relaxation.
- The session begins with a conversation, followed by a shiatsu scalp massage with natural products. Then comes the energy haircut, done in two phases, and finally a moment of harmonisation to take in the sensations.
- Aurélie uses natural products made in France, based on clay and essential oils, chosen for their gentleness and respect for the scalp.
- Yes. The Au Cheveu de l'Âme experience is open to everyone. The La Nomade Alchimiste retreats, however, are for women only.
- No. The benefits people seek, such as relaxation or letting go, are personal to each person. These sensations are personal to each person and are not a substitute for medical advice.
- The Au Cheveu de l'Âme salon is at 10 rue Henri Cornat, in Valognes, in the Cotentin peninsula, Normandy, France. Clients come from all over the Cotentin: Cherbourg-en-Cotentin, Bricquebec-en-Cotentin, Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue, Barneville-Carteret, Les Pieux, Montebourg…
