About Canvas Scalp Wellness

Canvas Scalp Wellness was created by Quyen Duong, a scalp and hair-loss specialist with over 25 years of experience in the beauty industry.

 

After working hands-on with thousands of clients, Quyen saw how many people struggled with scalp issues, hair thinning, and product confusion. Canvas Scalp Wellness focuses on natural, results-based scalp care – combining detox, circulation, and targeted routines to restore the foundation of healthy hair.

ABOUT QUYEN

I’ve spent more than 25 years behind the chair, working on thousands of clients with every kind of scalp and hair history. Instead of doing the same foam-and-massage for everyone, I look closely at the scalp, soften and lift old buildup that has been stuck there for months or years, and then explain in simple language what I found and how to reset the routine at home.

25+ years working with hair and scalp

  • Top student in hair school, winner of 2 cutting awards

  • Trained at Bumble & bumble University (New York)

  • Advanced education in New York, Arizona and Salt Lake City

  • Built and sold Butterfly Hair & Nail Design

  • Owner of Canvas Hair & Head Spa in Kitsilano, Vancouver

  • Known for actually softening and lifting hard buildup, not just doing a quick wash

Common Scalp & Hair Concerns I Work With

(Non-medical)

  • Flakes and visible buildup

  • Oily or congested scalp

  • Dry, tight, or irritated scalp

  • Redness and sensitivity

  • Discomfort after medicated shampoos

  • Excessive shedding

  • Early thinning

  • Hair loss related to scalp stress, inflammation, or long-term buildup

  • Confusion between dandruff, dry scalp, psoriasis, or other scalp patterns

Important:

I do not diagnose or treat medical conditions. I analyze visible scalp patterns, explain what I see on the scalp surface, and offer a professional second opinion from a scalp-care perspective. If something appears medical or hormonal, I will recommend consulting a doctor or dermatologist.

WHY CANVAS SCALP WELLNESS IS DIFFERENT

Most head spas focus on relaxation and “experience” — foam, bubbles, candles and similar flows for almost everyone. Some even sell multi-session dandruff packages before they really understand what is sitting on your scalp. Canvas Scalp Wellness is built differently.

You work directly with a senior stylist, not a junior worker, with over 25 years of experience.

  • The focus is not just a nice feeling that day — it’s a cleaner scalp and a routine you can keep up.

  • Instead of only washing the surface, I soften, lift and clean under hardened buildup, flakes and old product that may have been there for a long time.

  • I can see the difference between dry flakes, sticky buildup, oil plugs, colour residue and “stress scalp” — they are not the same and they cannot be washed the same way.

  • I don’t push big prepaid packages. You start with one serious session, then we decide together what’s next.

  • Every client leaves with clear instructions on what to change at home so they don’t repeat the same mistakes.
