Meet our founder
Carmen
Carmen Elias set out to create something entirely new in Ottawa – a haven for scalp and hair health that transcends traditional treatments. What began as a clinical approach to trichology evolved into a luxurious, immersive experience when she discovered the art of Japanese Head Spas. Inspired by Eastern healing rituals, she reimagined scalp care as a pathway to both beauty and wellness.
Since beginning her studies at the International Association of Trichologists (IAT) in 2019, Carmen has remained dedicated to innovation. With a deep respect for both science and holistic wellness, she carefully curates the best research, tools and products to refine her craft. Today, she leads a team of expert practitioners who share her passion for results-driven treatments that nourish, heal and restore.

Client Love
"Carmen, did what no other doctor could do for me. I was struggling with hair shedding issue for some time and got all the blood work done by the doctors but couldn't find any solution. Met with Carmen and she listened to my concern very patiently, checked my medical history and suggested me to start a few supplements and stop the ones that were not required in my case.
Within 3 months I could see a huge improvement in my hair health..."
