The practice brings together hairdressing, food-based nutrition therapy and handmade botanical products. Consultations take place at the Nyack office or remotely by phone, Skype, FaceTime or Zoom, so clients outside the area can also work with Candice Robins.
Hair sessions address dryness, breakage, hair loss and scalp concerns, with a focus on healthy hair growth. Color consultations cover color correction and botanical organic color recommendations. Holistic Hair Workshops are offered for $45.
Nutrition therapy begins with an initial appointment of about two hours, priced at $325, which looks at whole-body wellness through food. Early sessions focus on nourishing the body, blood sugar balance, sleep, emotional balance, energy and digestion. Lab testing is not required at the start; labs can be ordered later if needed, or a physician can order them. Clients are encouraged to work with a physician who understands this approach, especially around medications and testing.
The formulas combine herbs, honeys, oils and fermented or cultured ingredients, with therapeutic grade essential oils in the fragrances. The business describes its formulas as nutrient dense and says they nourish hair and skin. Its botanicals line began about 30 years ago in San Francisco. Products are packaged in glass, which the business says is made from recycled glass, and customers can return empty bottles or jars to the salon for a $1 refund.
Uses food as the central tool in nutrition therapy alongside haircare and skin formulas, with a preference for natural ingredients and products free of synthetic detergents, silicones and plastic packaging.
