About

TruCarma is a salon and trichology center in Arlington, founded by Carma Bradley. The stated goal is to help clients feel good about their hair and to help hair reach its full potential. The salon describes itself as a one-stop hair salon for hair health and styling needs, and it also describes itself as a leading specialist in hair loss services and scalp disorder treatment.

Hair loss and scalp care are a central part of the business. Visits to the trichology side begin with a one-on-one consultation, in which a specialist analyzes the hair and scalp before options are discussed. Care starts with a check-up and an analysis of hair texture, and the team may review medical history when that is needed. Customized plans are offered for early-stage and more advanced hair loss, covering analysis, prevention, repair, growth treatments and hair systems for women and men that are sold and installed. Client identity, consultations and treatment plans are said to be kept private.

On the styling side, the menu includes precision cuts and trims, highlights, lowlights and full-color services, and blowouts with several levels of finish. Flawless Finish blowouts use a flat iron silk press or curling iron styling for all hair textures, and each one begins with a relaxing massage shampoo. Clients choose from several finished looks. The VIP option adds a private suite with its own shampoo bowl and foot massager, beverages including wine, champagne and non-alcoholic choices, a charcuterie board, and a choice of music, TV or movies.

Smoothing treatments use keratin or other proteins to reduce frizz and help hair handle humidity, and the keratin options are described as cutting down blow-drying time and adding shine. Extensions are professionally installed in a range of styles, textures and lengths, and a separate wig and extensions showroom and online boutique carries wigs, toppers, clip-ins, wefts and closures in human and synthetic options, including lace front and full lace styles.

Beyond the chair, TruCarma Institute offers professional development courses for salon professionals and industry colleagues, including a Trichology Certification course and a Business Growth course, as well as small classes, one-on-one sessions and DIY classes for clients. TruCarma Studio Suites in Granbury, Texas offers private salon and spa suites for independent professionals, with private sinks and shampoo bowls, plus benefits, education and business support packages for tenants. The salon also offers memberships and packages for ongoing care.

Care starts with a hair and scalp check-up and a one-on-one analysis before any options are discussed, and hair loss plans are built individually.
