How the formula works
MJM Salon & Co.'s Sensitive Scalp Relaxer uses a milder chemical composition designed to reduce scalp irritation while still straightening new growth. Stylists evaluate hair and scalp condition before treatment so the formula and approach match your sensitivity level. The goal is to balance effective smoothing of new growth with a lower chance of discomfort during processing.
Because the formula is gentler, technicians focus on controlled application and close monitoring to shape the final look. Clients decide how much straightening they prefer versus preserving some natural texture; that trade-off between comfort and absolute straightness is part of the consultation and influences the final result.
Comfort and protection steps
A protective base cream is applied prior to processing to shield the skin where the relaxer meets the scalp; this step is central to minimizing stinging or irritation. Your stylist continually checks comfort throughout the appointment and adjusts timing or placement as needed, prioritizing scalp protection without unnecessarily altering the hair’s relaxed new growth.
Appointments are organized to suit commuters and shift workers in the Rivers Avenue corridor and greater North Charleston area. The Sensitive Scalp Relaxer service runs for 90 MINUTES and costs $110, allowing time for careful protection, application, and monitoring while fitting into evening and weekend schedules when needed.
Aftercare and maintenance plan
After the service, your stylist will recommend a home-care plan focused on maintaining the relaxed new growth and preserving scalp comfort. Because North Charleston’s humid subtropical climate can affect styling and manageability, maintenance appointments and product choices are discussed with local conditions in mind and tailored to your daily routine.
Clients should tell their stylist about any scalp sensitivities, recent treatments, or medications during consultation so the team can adjust recommendations. The stylist will set expectations for how the result may look on your hair type and propose a maintenance schedule that fits commute or event needs around Rivers Avenue and I-526.
