Your clients will receive:

• Personalized information about their scalp health
• 90 days of nutrition tracking in approximately 20 minutes
• Diet and hair loss relationships
• Tracking of scalp health progression (if multiple scalp assessments are performed)

Currently, these services are exclusively available through Save Our Scalps. By partnering with us, your clients will gain valuable insights about their scalp health and you can provide them with nutritional advice to optimize their overall health which is needed for hair growth.

You must be approved by the institutional review board (IRB) that oversees our research. They require a current Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) certificate for anyone who conducts biomedical research on human subjects. There is an online course available for hair professionals who need to understand the fundamentals of scientific studies. This course includes the following:

• An overview of the CITI training content for conducting biomedical research on human subjects;
• Study materials so you can easily pass the CITI exam;
• Login credentials to take the CITI exam (Yes, this is for free for a limited time)
• Waiving of administrative fees to be added as a research assistant within our approved IRB study;
• Paperwork templates so you can conduct your own research; and,
• Access to like-minded professionals who want to collaborate in research studies.

No. After you complete the CITI training, all you need to do is offer Save Our Scalps services to your clients or patients. The way we collect the information needed for the study is incorporated into the service procedures.

You can provide personalized services to your clients or patients without having institutional review board approval. Save Our Scalps will not use your clients or patients for research purposes.

Scalp health and dietary reports can only be issued after a recommendation by a qualified hair practitioner. Inquiries from the general public will be directed to a list of participating practitioners.

When conducting research on human subjects, an institutional review board oversees all activities of the project and basic training is needed to understand the historical development of human subject protections, ethical issues, and current regulatory and guidance information. Details can be found on the CITI website.

Yes, you can participate as long as you have a current Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) certificate for conducting biomedical research on human subjects. This is required to be approved by the institutional review board (IRB) that oversees our research. However, there is an administrative fee of $300 and other paperwork is needed to be added as a research assistant within our approved IRB study. Please contact Dr. Crystal Porter to learn more about this process.

The going rate for personalized care ranges from $99 to $350. Since your customers will be receiving one-on-one counseling from you along with tailored reports, the suggested price is $200 – $250 per report depending on your specific market.

No, we will not be making recommendations. After educating yourself about the benefits of the information generated in the reports, it is up to you to decide the proper care for your clients.

The number of assessments you recommend will depend on the specific needs of your client and your goals as a practitioner.

The signed agreement for testing is for your clients or patients. Therefore, they must agree and sign off to have you, as their practitioner, obtain their results. Usually, this is not a problem since they have come to you for services in the first place.

It’s easy! Schedule an appointment with our staff and we will make sure our services are aligned with your needs. After that, you can order assessments immediately.

We will contact all practitioners via email who are awaiting testing.

This is a service where individuals receive personalized information about their scalp wellness. In studies where people get paid, they are not provided with results that are related to the research in which they participated.
