Some days I sit back and read messages like these above and honestly feel overwhelmed with gratitude.💚

I’ve had the privilege of meeting the most incredible people — people who have been walking very hard roads with such strength 💚

Behind every appointment is a story. Families. Courage. Fear. Hope. And trust.💚

I never take lightly that you choose me during such vulnerable moments in your lives. It is an honour I carry with me every single day.💚

Thank you — from the bottom of my heart — for your kindness, your trust, your words, and for allowing me to walk a small part of your journey with you.💚

I’m Andrea Galvin, owner of Andrea Galvin Scalp Wellness & Wig Clinic.

My clinic is a private, confidential space located in Raheen, close to the hospital, where clients receive professional advice, support, and tailored solutions for their hair loss needs.

I specialise in all types of hair loss and hair restoration, including:

●Chemotherapy-related hair loss
●Alopecia (all types)
●Thinning and hormonal hair loss
●Scalp conditions affecting hair growth

My background is in hairdressing, and I spent many years working within the hair industry before choosing to specialise in scalp health and medical hair loss. Through my experience, I saw first-hand how deeply hair loss can affect confidence, identity, and wellbeing — and I knew I wanted to support clients on a deeper level.

I am currently studying Trichology, which is the science of the hair and scalp.
Trichology focuses on understanding the root causes of hair and scalp disorders, allowing for targeted, informed care.This means I can support clients with both short-term solutions (such as wigs and cosmetic options) and long-term scalp and hair health plans where possible.

I am a registered welfare partner for hair loss PRSI grants and a HSE-approved wig supplier.

My clinic is a private, confidential space where your met with compassion, understanding, and honest advice. Whether you are at the beginning of your hair loss journey, undergoing treatment, or looking to improve scalp health long-term, my aim is to support you every step of the way.

This lady had recently started chemotherapy, which caused her natural hair to become very thin, flat, and lifeless. As treatment progressed, her hair lost density and strength, making everyday styling difficult and affecting her confidence.
We fitted a natural-looking wig to provide immediate volume, shape, and coverage while remaining lightweight and comfortable for a sensitive scalp. The cut and colour were chosen to closely resemble her natural look, helping her feel like herself again during a challenging time.

The wig offers:
Instant fullness and structure
A realistic, natural finish
Comfort and security during treatment
A confidence boost while protecting fragile hair
This fitting allows her to feel supported and comfortable throughout her chemotherapy journey, without placing stress on her natural hair as it continues to change.

This lady has been living with Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia (FFA) – a form of scarring hair loss that most commonly affects women and causes a gradual recession of the frontal hairline, temples, and sometimes eyebrows. Unfortunately, once hair loss occurs with FFA, regrowth is not usually possible, which can be emotionally challenging for many clients.

My focus is always on restoring confidence, comfort, and natural appearance 💚

For her solution, we fitted a beautiful natural, clean blonde bob, carefully we cut to frame her face perfectly. The result is soft, realistic, and completely undetectable – allowing her to feel like herself again.

✨ And just in time for Christmas, she’s ready to enjoy the festive season feeling confident, comfortable, and radiant ✨

If you are experiencing hair loss due to conditions such as FFA, we’re here to offer private consultations, expert advice, and bespoke hair solutions tailored to you.

This was an emotional appointment for us both 🤍
This lovely client has sadly lost her hair for the second time due to chemotherapy. After growing it back beautifully, we once again had to make the brave decision to cut it back.

With a family wedding coming up this week, it was so important that she felt like herself again. We took time to talk through what she wanted, how she wanted to feel, and what would give her confidence on such a special day.

We fitted a beautiful multi-tonal human hair wig, leaving the length in for now so it feels soft, feminine and versatile for the occasion. We may take an inch off in the New Year, once she’s had time to enjoy it fully.

She was absolutely delighted with the quality, movement and feel, especially after previously wearing a synthetic wig. Seeing her relax, and reconnect with herself is exactly why we do what we do.

Sending her all the love and strength in the world ✨
You deserve to feel beautiful — always.

🌸 A Very Gentle Moment 🌸
This lovely lady came to me after losing her hair during her treatment. She trusted me to find something soft, natural, and truly special — something that could help her feel a little more like herself again.

Today, we found it together.

When she saw herself in this delicate pink style, her whole face lit up. She smiled with such warmth, and in that moment, you could feel a little confidence returning.

These appointments are never just about hair. They’re about care, trust, and honouring someone’s journey with kindness.
I’m truly grateful she allowed me to be part of this moment.

🌿 Caring for Your Scalp During Chemotherapy 🌿

For anyone who couldn’t make it to today’s talk, here’s a little insight into why I recommend Aloe Vera & Jojoba Oil for soothing, sensitive scalps 💗

✨ Aloe Vera helps calm irritation, reduce inflammation, and deeply hydrate.
✨ Jojoba Oil mimics your scalp’s natural oils — helping to restore balance, protect the skin barrier, and bring gentle comfort.

During chemotherapy, your scalp can become dry and tender as the treatment affects oil glands and hair follicles. Using natural, fragrance-free products can make all the difference — keeping your skin nourished, calm, and cared for. 🌸

🎀 Breast Cancer Awareness Month 🎀

This month, I want to dedicate this post to all the incredible women I’ve met along the way —
those who’ve fought, those who continue to fight, and those who are no longer with us 💕

Through my work at Andrea Galvin Scalp & Wig Clinic, I’ve had the privilege of meeting so many women facing breast cancer.
Their courage, kindness, and resilience have left a lasting mark on me and on everything I do.

Every consultation, every fitting, every moment spent helping someone feel a little more like themselves again 💛

To the women we’ve lost — we remember you.
To those still fighting
And to the survivors

Let’s keep raising awareness, supporting each other, and talking openly about breast health, healing, and hope.

Ever wondered what your scalp really looks like under the trichoscope? 👀

This image shows the results from a customised scalp health check and microdermabrasion scalp treatment here at Andrea Galvin Scalp & Wig Clinic.

🔬 Using a trichoscope, I analysed the scalp up close — before the treatment, you can clearly see buildup, congestion, and dead skin, which can block follicles and affect healthy hair growth.
After a deep cleanse, gentle microdermabrasion exfoliation, and an energising tonic, the scalp appears much clearer, smoother, and more balanced — allowing follicles to breathe and hair to thrive 🌿

This treatment helps to:
✨ Remove sebum and product buildup
✨ Improve scalp circulation
✨ Support healthy hair growth
✨ Create an optimal environment for stronger hair

Stay tuned — I’ll share another trichoscope analysis soon and explain more about what we find during these scalp health checks! 💛

This lovely client came to us after noticing what seemed like a receding hairline , which we identified as frontal fibrosing alopecia. Her main concern was thinning around the sides, especially noticeable when tying her hair up for work.

We created a customised hair topper, tailored perfectly for her size and fit. A soft fringe was added to frame her face and provide natural coverage at the sides.

She’ll now take some time to get comfortable attaching and removing her topper at home, and we’ll see her again soon to refine the cut and add soft layers for a flawless blend with her own hair.

💚 Hair loss conditions such as frontal fibrosing alopecia may be covered through the Medical Card or PRSI Hair Replacement Benefit.
We’re always happy to guide clients through the process and look after the paperwork.
