7/10/2025 1 Comment Should You Be Sleeping with Wet Hair? What You Need to Know About Moisture and Scalp HealthAt Omni salon + wellness, we believe that healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp. And one of the most overlooked habits affecting scalp health? Going to bed with wet hair. While it may seem harmless—or even relaxing—to wash your hair before bed and let it air dry, regularly leaving your hair wet for long periods can create the perfect conditions for scalp issues to arise.
🚿 The Moisture Trap: What Happens When Your Scalp Stays Wet?Your scalp is home to a natural ecosystem of oils, bacteria, and fungi (yes, even the good kind!). But when your scalp stays damp for too long, that balance can shift, and here’s how: 1. Fungal OvergrowthA yeast called Malassezia naturally lives on the scalp. In small amounts, it's no problem. But when trapped moisture lingers—especially under a towel, beanie, or pillowcase—this yeast can grow out of control. The result? Dandruff, itching, or seborrheic dermatitis. 2. Bacterial InfectionsWet hair pressed against the scalp overnight creates a warm, dark, moist environment—exactly what bacteria need to thrive. This can lead to conditions like folliculitis, which appears as red bumps or pimples on the scalp. 3. Mold and Mildew (Yes, Really)While rare, excessive dampness—especially when hair is tied up while wet—can lead to musty odors and, in some cases, mold growth on the hair shaft itself. This is especially true with synthetic wigs or extensions. 4. Weakened Scalp BarrierYour scalp has a natural protective layer, but excess water can disrupt its pH balance, making it more prone to irritation, dryness, or even hair thinning over time. 💡 What Can You Do Instead?
🌿 Our Favorite Scalp Tip: At Omni, we offer targeted scalp rituals using products like Milbon’s Scalp Collection and Verb's Scalp Exfoliating Serum which gently exfoliate, neutralize excess oil, and soothe irritation. Treatments like our Sanctuary Scalp Therapy nourish and hydrate the scalp while keeping your scalp’s ecosystem balanced for up to five weeks. Want Healthier Hair from the Root Up?Your hair is only as strong as the foundation it grows from. Make scalp health a priority and start by drying your hair fully after each wash. And if you’re experiencing dryness, flaking, or scalp irritation, let us help with a customized scalp treatment. 👉 Book your scalp treatment today at Omni Salon + Wellness.

We’re thrilled to unveil the next chapter of Omni salon + wellness: a refined and reimagined experience rooted in beauty, intention, and sanctuary. After months of thoughtful curation, we are proud to introduce our new brand direction--the Kakurega Experience.
What is Kakurega? Kakurega (隠れ家) is a Japanese word that translates to “a hidden retreat” or “a secret sanctuary.” It evokes the feeling of entering a quiet, secluded space where one can relax, recharge, and reconnect. At Omni, Kakurega is more than just a concept—it’s the foundation of our guest experience. Our salon is in the process of being reimagined to feel like your own personal escape: private, calming, and deeply restorative. Whether you're receiving a haircut, color service, or scalp treatment, you’ll notice the energy shift the moment you walk through our doors. Elevated Haircuts: More Than Just a Trim All haircut appointments now include a complimentary aromatherapy head massage, designed to help you fully unwind and reconnect with your senses. Each scent is carefully chosen based on your needs—whether you seek clarity, grounding, or relaxation. It’s a small addition that makes a meaningful impact on your experience. You’ll also notice a refreshed selection of local beverages and artisan snacks to enjoy during your appointment. Think local herbal teas from Queens Tea, local coffee provided by Salt Lake Roasting Company, sparkling drinks, and nourishing treats that complement our wellness-forward philosophy. New Hair & Scalp Wellness Services In keeping with our Kakurega philosophy, we’ve expanded our scalp and hair wellness menu to support not only beautiful hair but also a healthy foundation. From deep detoxing treatments to hydration-focused hair and scalp rituals, our services are designed to neutralize the scalp, balance oil production, combat dry hair/scalp, and improve the longevity of your color and style. Our Sanctuary Scalp Treatment is one of our signature offerings: it combats dryness, flaking, and buildup, leaving the scalp nourished and balanced for up to five weeks. If you’ve been feeling out of sync with your hair, these new treatments will help reset and restore. Introducing Milbon: Japanese Haircare Excellence We’re also excited to introduce Milbon, a world-renowned Japanese haircare brand that is now available exclusively at Omni salon + wellness. With only eight salons in Utah authorized to carry Milbon, it's known for its scientific precision and luxurious feel, Milbon products are designed to restore the integrity of your hair from the inside out. Eliminating traditional hair conditioners and elevating the health of your hair with daily treatments, unraveling years of damage, and revitalizing dry, dull hair. Milbon's proprietary 360° Beautiful Hair Diagnosis System allows us to customize your treatment and home care plan based on the actual internal structure and condition of your hair. Whether you need repair, moisture, smoothing, or volume, Milbon offers targeted solutions that deliver instant real, visible results. A Closer Look at Our Milbon Favorites We’re proud to carry a curated selection of Milbon’s most loved collections—each designed with Japanese precision, cutting-edge science, and luxurious textures to completely transform the way your hair looks and feels. ✨ Milbon Repair Shampoo & Treatment This powerhouse duo is essential for anyone with chemically treated, highlighted, or compromised hair. Powered by Milbon’s unique CMADK technology, it reconstructs broken protein bonds inside the hair shaft, reinforcing strength and elasticity from the inside out. With continued use, hair becomes visibly stronger, more resilient, and beautifully shiny without feeling weighed down. 💧 Milbon Moisture Series Especially beneficial for those living in dry climates (hello, Utah!), this series deeply hydrates hair while restoring softness and movement. It’s perfect for hair that feels brittle, dull, or thirsty. Lightweight yet deeply nourishing, it helps maintain moisture balance while preventing future dehydration—making it a game-changer for winter months or post-summer recovery. 🌀 Milbon Curl Collection Formulated specifically for textured, curly, and wavy hair, this collection enhances natural curl patterns while infusing moisture and frizz control. Curls are left defined, springy, and touchably soft, with a glossy, nourished finish that lasts. Whether you're air-drying or diffusing, this collection helps you embrace your natural texture with confidence. Why Take Milbon Home? In-salon treatments are powerful, but true transformation happens when your home care matches your goals. That’s why we use Milbon both behind the chair and on our retail shelves—to support your hair’s health every step of the way.
