“My transformation from hair stylist to a dedicated scalp specialist and now scalp care educator has been a remarkable evolution”

While I initially found joy in creating stunning hairstyles and experimenting with trends, I soon realized that there was a deeper connection between hair and overall well-being. It became clear to me that many of my guests were struggling with hair and scalp conditions that required a more comprehensive and holistic approach.

This realization sparked a burning desire within me to delve deeper into the science behind hair and scalp health. Driven by my passion for helping others and armed with a thirst for knowledge, I embarked on a journey to become a trichologist, immersing myself in extensive research, studying the intricate physiology of the scalp, hair follicles, and the underlying causes of various hair and scalp disorders.

Through rigorous training and hands-on experience, I honed my skills in diagnosing and helping my guests with these conditions, ultimately aiming to restore not just healthy hair but also confidence and self-esteem.

Transitioning from a hair stylist to a scalp specislist has allowed me to make a profound impact on people's lives. By combining my expertise in hair styling with my in-depth knowledge of trichology, I can offer a comprehensive approach to hair and scalp care.

I’m Leeanne, Trichologist and Luxury Hairstylist with 25 years of experience. Originally from “sunny old” England, I now split my time between the Big Island of Hawaii and San Diego, enjoying life with my husband and son.
