Hi, I'm Mel!

I'm a hairdresser, a mum, and passionate about helping women who suffer from hair loss. I've struggled with fine hair for as long as I can remember. As a teenager, I always dreamt of becoming a hairdresser and even modeled in hair shows. However, as I got older, I noticed my hair thinning more, and people would often comment on it, saying things like, "You're using too much dye, it's breaking off," or "I can see your scalp." I became skilled at covering up the thin patches, relying on my curly hair to make it appear thicker than it was. Or so I thought.

During my first pregnancy, I experienced a traumatic birth and had to undergo a cesarean section. Afterward, I noticed significant hair loss that never fully grew back. Despite being in the hairdressing industry for a while and considering extensions, I knew they wouldn't work for the thinning areas, especially in the front. Later, I was diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), a hormonal condition that can cause hair loss. Unsure of what to do, I met Amy, a hairdresser who also struggled with hair loss. And she introduced me to Hair Toppers.

Initially skeptical, I tried on a hair topper . I was amazed. I finally felt confident again. As a hairdresser, there's pressure to have great hair, and the topper made me feel authentic once more.

The first test was my partner, who didn't even notice it wasn't my real hair until I showed him. Encouraged, I wore it to a family BBQ, expecting honest feedback. Surprisingly, nobody seemed to notice, except my sister-in-law, who complimented my hair without realizing it was a topper.

After a week of wearing it, I was hooked. People were complimenting me left and right, and it felt incredible. I wanted to share my story with others suffering from thinning hair, to let them know there's hope.

So here I am, sharing my story with you. If you're struggling with thinning hair, know that there's help available. With over 35 years of hairdressing experience, I have a few tricks up my sleeve. During a consultation, we'll discuss your hair history and explore how we can help you. You'll have the chance to try on different hair toppers and see what suits you best.

On this journey, I've met many beautiful women with their own stories, and it fills me with joy to see them leaving the salon feeling confident with their new hair.

Come and experience the magic of a hair topper for yourself. I can't wait to meet you.
