Renee K Hair & Wellness

Renee K Hair & Wellness is run by Renee Calecim, who works as a hair stylist, yoga instructor and health coach. The business brings hair work and wellness services together in one place, and its own description notes that Renee began aligning wellness practices with her hair work and workplace in 2017.

This salon's signature offering is Calecim Hair Restoration, a regenerative approach that the business says is drug-free and relies on stem cell-derived growth factors and exosomes. Treatment typically runs as six sessions spaced roughly a week apart, and every client begins with a hair and scalp consultation followed by an individual assessment. According to the business, Calecim can be used on its own or together with physician-directed medications such as minoxidil or finasteride. The business lists it for thinning at an early or moderate stage, shedding that followed COVID-19, hair loss linked to stress, alopecia areata (handled with medical providers), and male and female pattern thinning. The business reports clinical observations after six treatments of up to a 16% rise in hair shaft thickness, up to 24% greater follicle cell activity, and up to 14% more hair count. These figures come from the business itself.

Red light therapy can be booked as a stand-alone session or added to a hair or wellness visit. Red Light Hair Restoration is aimed at density, shedding and strand strength, Red Light Face + Skin is described as supporting vascular health and tissue repair in the skin, and Red Light Spot Treatments are described for pain, inflammation and circulation. A 10-minute session is $20 and works as a drop-in or add-on. The 60-minute package is $100, which the business describes as a $120 value; its minutes can be used in 10 or 20 minute sessions, and the business tracks what remains.

Yoga classes combine restorative, slow flow and vinyasa practice with breath, movement and mindfulness. Vinyasa Flow meets Tuesday evenings and Flow and Restore meets Sunday afternoons, and private sessions are arranged by email. Yoga classes are also offered at Common Ground Yoga in Framingham as a hybrid of in-person and Zoom. A six-month health and wellness coaching program meets twice a month on Zoom and includes a plan for reaching and keeping goals.

INNER ODYSSEY is a movement and breathwork workshop in five phases: alignment-based movement, supported downshift, savasana, guided breathwork and integration. Its breathwork is based on DVRM (Dynamic Variable Resistance Modulation), taught by David Magone, and involves no substances. The business says the workshop may support breath capacity, nervous system resilience and emotional regulation. It is co-facilitated by Renee Koczkodan and Dr. Karestan Koenen, and the business asks people with certain medical or mental health conditions, or who are pregnant, to speak with a healthcare provider first.
