Reviews

I went to Deborah after noticing significant hair shedding and was really low and worried about it. Deborah assessed my hair and gave me a clear explanation of what was happening. Deborah gave me clear steps to follow to find out exactly what was behind the loss and the results were very reassuring.  Together with treatment from my doctor to restore a significant vitamin imbalance, Deborah helped me to find the right products that made a massive difference in boosting hair growth and helping me to maximise my hair health.

I’m continuing to follow her recommendations and really pleased with how things are going. Seeing Deborah was invaluable at a time when I wasn’t sure what could help.

I contacted Deborah in desperation after 15 months of severe dandruff, red scaly patches and flaking skin around my hair line from the use of hair dye. I had tried everything I could find to deal with it and nothing worked. She analysed my scalp and said it was seborrhoeic dermatitis. She explained what was happening and gave me a treatment regime, saying it would take about 3 months to go.

I followed it faithfully and it is now completely clear, and I know how to manage it if I ever get it again. She was very helpful, and I can fully recommend her
