A beautiful hairstyle, shaped to suit your bone structure. Your hair should look gorgeous--on a wash-and-go day, your wedding day, and every day.

You deserve a gorgeous haircut and style!

Every transformation you see here is the result of time, trust, and consistency because true scalp healing doesn’t come from quick fixes. 

These clients committed to evidence-based plans, lifestyle shifts, and regular follow-ups, and the results speak for themselves: clearer scalps, reduced flaking, and healthier, fuller hair.

As a trichologist, I guide each client to understand what’s happening beneath the surface and tailor solutions that work for their scalp. 

If you’re ready to stop guessing and finally see measurable results, your healthiest hair starts with clarity, a plan, and professional guidance.

As 2025 comes to a close, I’m reflecting on a year of growth, learning, and transformation, both for my clients and for myself as a trichologist. From chronic scalp conditions to long-term hair restoration, I’ve seen incredible journeys unfold, and I’m endlessly grateful for the trust, consistency, and courage of every client who allowed me to guide them.

This year also brought meaningful partnerships with brands like Oribe, and clinical-grade products like Tricotain and Tony Maleedy, which help me deliver science-backed solutions that truly respect your scalp’s ecosystem.

To my clients, colleagues, and this amazing community: thank you for making 2025 a year of progress, education, and healthy hair. Here’s to starting 2026 with routines, care, and scalp health that really work. 💛

This year, I was reminded, over and over again, how powerful it is when someone finally understands what their scalp has been trying to tell them.

So many clients walked into my trichology center feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, or convinced that nothing would ever change. And then they committed to a plan that was built around their biology, their history, and their triggers.

I watched seborrheic dermatitis calm down after years of flare-ups because clients embraced homeopathic care and lifestyle shifts that supported their whole ecosystem. I watched women experiencing pattern thinning rebuild density by addressing oxidative stress, inflammation, and hormonal factors that had quietly been working against them. 

These weren’t quick fixes. They were intentional, evidence-based changes, and the results were real. 

Scalp health isn’t a guessing game, and you don’t have to navigate it alone. If you’re ready to understand what’s happening beneath the surface and finally move toward healthier, more resilient hair, my consultations are open. 

Let’s make next year the year you get answers and results that last.

As we get ready to close out 2025 in just a few short weeks, I’m reflecting on all the things I’m grateful for. 

Like the trust my clients place in me, the transformations we’ve created together, and the partnerships that allow me to bring you the most effective, science-backed hair and scalp care possible.

From personalized scalp treatments to product collaborations that raise the bar for healthy hair, this year has been full of growth, learning, and so much appreciation.

My newest blog is a love letter to the clients, colleagues, and community who made this year extraordinary, and a reminder that healthy hair begins with connection, commitment, and care.

Colder weather doesn’t just dry out your skin. It can throw your entire scalp ecosystem off balance. ❄️✨

If you’re dealing with itchiness, flaking, tightness, or irritation right now, you’re definitely not alone.

This infographic shows 5 simple ways to soothe your scalp during the winter months, but that’s just the starting point. Your scalp has its own unique needs, triggers, and patterns, and understanding them can make all the difference.

For a deeper breakdown of why winter changes your scalp and how to support it long-term, be sure to read the full blog on my site (link in bio). And if you’re ready for personalized insight into what’s really going on beneath the surface, you can always book a 1:1 consultation with me.

Healthy hair begins with a calm, supported scalp. Let’s get you there. 💛

Your scalp is living, breathing skin — and it reacts to change just like the rest of your body. ❄️🍃

When winter rolls in, so do shifts in your microbiome, oil production, hydration levels, and stress. That’s why flakes, itching, and irritation often flare this time of year.

As a trichologist, my goal is never to just treat symptoms. It’s to understand why they’re happening in the first place. Because when you support the scalp at the root (literally), your hair responds with strength, clarity, and balance.

If you’re noticing seasonal changes right now, you’re not imagining it, and you don’t have to guess your way through it.

Your scalp has a story. I’m here to help you read it. ✨ check out this month’s blog (link in bio) to learn more.

If your scalp feels itchy every fall and winter, you’re not alone. 🍂 As the air cools and humidity drops, your scalp’s natural barrier becomes more vulnerable, leading to dryness, irritation, and even flare-ups of conditions like dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and psoriasis.

Seasonal changes affect everything from oil production to your scalp’s microbiome, creating the perfect storm for discomfort. But understanding which condition you’re experiencing is the first step toward real relief.

Swipe through to learn the four most common reasons your scalp itches this time of year—and what a trichologist recommends to bring it back into balance. 🧴✨

If your scalp feels drier or itchier this time of year, you’re not imagining it. 🍂 As the weather cools, humidity drops, and indoor heating rises, your scalp’s barrier function and microbiome can easily fall out of balance. The result? Itching, flaking, tightness, or even flare-ups of conditions like seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis.

In my latest blog, I’m breaking down why seasonal shifts trigger scalp irritation, how to tell whether you’re dealing with dryness, dandruff, or something more, and what you can do to restore comfort and balance.

Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp, especially when the seasons change. Head to the link in my bio to read more.
