For people in Chicago with hair or scalp concerns
Sealabour Scalp Consult is a request service for hair and scalp consultations in Chicago, IL. It suits you if you want a professional opinion on thinning, shedding, breakage or scalp irritation and are not sure where to begin.
In short: you send a request, we pass it to a local provider, and the provider contacts you. The provider sets any cost and should explain it before you agree to anything. Sending a request is only a way to start the conversation.
Pick one, or ask a general question
The four cards below are the main reasons people send a request. They want their scalp looked at, they want to know about options for thinning hair, they are curious about scalp treatments, or they want help with a daily routine. Choose the one that fits. If more than one does, choose the main one and mention the others in your message. Nothing is decided until you have talked with a provider.
Start with an assessment
Flaking, shedding or thinning can have many causes. An assessment helps a provider see what is going on.
Thinning hair
Causes vary, so options vary. Read what providers commonly talk through at a consultation.
Ask about scalp treatments
A provider decides what is suitable for your scalp at a consultation.
Care at home
Plain notes on shampoo, heat, tight styles and products, written as general information.
What happens next
Sending the form does not book anything. It starts these steps.
- Fill in the form: your name, how to reach you, and your question.
- We send your request on to a provider in or near Chicago.
- The provider reaches out to find a time for a consultation.
- You meet, a licensed provider decides which options fit, and you decide what to do.
Before you go ahead with anything
- Expect a consultation before any treatment is offered.
- Ask who will carry out any procedure and what their license or training is.
- See a doctor or dermatologist for sudden or patchy loss, pain, sores, or signs of infection.
- Be wary of anyone who promises a particular outcome. No one can.
- Take your time. You can decide later, or not at all.
This is general information, not medical advice. A licensed provider decides what is suitable for you.
