Salon International 2025 is excited to host the first-ever DOSE Symposium, held by Dr Sharon Wong on Sunday 12 - Monday 13 October.
If you've not already added scalp services to your menu in 2025, Sharon explains why you should be below...
The DOSE Symposium will cover key areas like common hair and scalp conditions, how to talk to your clients about hair loss, the nuances of Afro/Textured hair and hair loss, as well as a deep dive into the trending topic of hair loss and the rise of Ozempic.
Sharon says: “Hair and scalp education is not routinely taught in hairdressing training yet it is the very material and surface handled by hairdressers. With the rise in ‘skinification of hair’ there is also an increasing demand and expectation by consumers. Clients usually have a very unique, long-term and trusted relationship with their hairdressers who would often be the first port of call for initial concerns about their hair or scalp. The hairdressing profession is perfectly placed to promote and reinforce a healthy scalp, providing the best foundation for healthy growth.
As a company founded by a Consultant Dermatologist with 15+ years of clinical experience in treating hair loss and scalp conditions, DOSE’s mission is to bridge the education gap with specialistled education and encourage collaboration across the wider hair industry with one overriding aim in mind – to promote scalp and hair health for all. And no better opportunity to kickstart the DOSE mission than with our inaugural two-day educational event at Salon International this year. The event will feature topics ranging from common hair and scalp conditions, how to care for the scalp after a hair transplant, incorporating scalp services into the salon, Ozempic hair and menopausal hair changes.”
