MY STORY
Did you know that hair loss, shedding and scalp disorders can occur due to internal imbalances, such as nutritional, hormonal or gut issues? When you have an internal imbalance your body will sometimes react with external signs such as telogen effluvium (excessive shedding). Most people are unaware of what's really happening, so they turn to their hair stylist for topical treatments. But if there’s anything I’ve learned as a hair stylist, it’s that externally addressing an internal issue won't make it go away. You must do the internal work to heal and balance the body.
Working behind the chair I began to notice things that needed my attention but I didn’t have the know how. Understanding there was a great need to help women with hair loss, hair thinning and scalp disorders, I sought out the top trichology programs to advance my knowledge of hair loss/growth, maintenance, health and wellness.
It is my purpose to help you look “Beyond Your Hair” and to understand how trichology interprets the language being spoken through hair, health and wellness. It is my vision to help you view hair, health and wellness from a contrasting perspective, to see beauty from within. It is our mission to support you in recognizing the internal work that will lead to optimal hair, health and wellness!
At Beyond Your Hair Trichology Spa, our mantra is “Be Well, Be You, Be Savvy.” It is this mantra that drives our mission, our purpose, and our vision. Using trichology, nutrition and a holistic approach to share our knowledge and expertise, we will give you the tools to reach your goals and journey with you all the way!
