Female Hair Loss Specialist Bristol

Expertise and Empathy - Helping women overcome hair loss of all types

Lucinda Ellery has been solving female hair loss problems for over 40 years, and opened the Bristol salon in Clifton in 2014. Over that time we've invented and developed a range of solutions for disguising hair loss in a way that is comfortable and undetectable and gives women back their femininity and confidence. We deal with the effects of the full range of hair conditions and understand how each one can create doubts and fears about ever having a normal appearance again.

Not a Clinic - rather a welcoming environment where you'll enjoy being pampered and come out looking great

We understand that to look good on the outside you need to feel good on the inside too. Hair loss can strip away your sense of self and we've worked hard to create a safe place for our Bristol clients to relax, to feel listened to and understood, and to come out feeling on top of the world. Again and again we hear them tell us that when they look in the mirror they can see themselves again - sometimes for the first time in years.

 

 

Hair solutions that work

There are many "solutions" to hair loss out there, but most are aimed at men and aren't suitable for women. Because hair loss in women often tends to be diffuse over the whole head rather than localised to bald spots, hair transplants are seldom an option for women because there is no source of healthy donor hair. Medication is mostly geared to slowing down hair loss rather than reversing or curing it. Creams and lotions, injections and light therapies, are all unproven with no scientific basis. Traditional wigs and toppers are insecure, often hot and uncomfortable, and need lots of maintenance for an often unconvincing result.

Our systems are designed to integrate with your existing hair via an ultra-fine mesh, minimising strain on it while keeping the system secure as a 24/7 solution that you'll soon forget that you're using, and your friends will never realise.

 

 

Hair systems and services available at Bristol

Hair loss can be caused by a number of conditions and these can look very different case to case. That's why we offer a range of adaptable solutions for different types of hair loss. Our full range of solutions are available in Bristol, with all stylists fully trained and experienced in their application, so you can book with confidence.

We have a range of solutions available depending on the type and extent of hair loss:

• Medi-connections - ultra-light extensions designed to provide volume without stressing the existing hair
• The Intralace Minima - a hair loss prosthetic for milder cases and particulalry for the front hair line, centre parting, and crown area
• The Intralace System - a hair loss prosthesis for more extensive hair loss which is adapted to the shape and size required
• The Intralace Freewear System - a wig alternative for total hair loss, based on the same breathable mesh

We don't provide off-the-peg solutions. Each system is custom-made for you, and colour-matched to your existing hair to be completely undetectable.

You'll start with a free, no obligation consultation, which can be done in person at our private women's hair loss salon or over a video call - whatever is most convenient and comfortable. During the consultation, we'll look at your hair loss, discuss the cause, and decide on the most practical option for you.

Women from all over the South West come to us for all sorts of reasons: whether it's a form of Alopecia, hair loss from chemotherapy treatment, female pattern hair loss, or from Trichotillomania, our Bristol team can promise a practical approach and an empathetic ear.

Frequently asked questions

What Kind of Doctor Should I See for Female Hair Loss?
