First Painless Hair Transplant Performed
September 2011
Iain Sallis, East Yorkshire’s only trichologist, is setting the ball
in motion to unite hair salons and clinics across the country for
the first time as he looks to provide free training for hairdressers
and their employees on how to spot hair and scalp problems in
clients.
Iain’s first free ‘Trichology Training Evening’ will be held at the
Andrew Barton salon in Leeds on the 29th September lasting
approximately 3 hours. Although literature and invites will be sent
out to salons in the surrounding areas, any interested parties are
welcome contact Iain directly to book in.
Trichology is the branch of medicine that deals with the scientific
study of the health of hair and scalp and Iain, who owns his own
hair salons and heads up his ‘Iain Sallis Trichology clinics’ in
London, Leeds, Hull, York, Sheffield, Lincoln and Nottingham is one
of only a handful of qualified trichologists, or ‘hair doctors’ in
the UK.
Through this ‘first of its kind’ training exercise, Iain is
looking to make a shift in the attitudes of hairdressers,
highlighting everything from what a trichologist is, and how they
can help their particular salon as well as explaining hair myths and
common hair problems - identifying scalp disorders and what to do
with a client with a potentially medical problem.
Commenting on his desire to amalgamate trichology skills with
hairdressers potential to help their clients, Iain comments, ‘As
both a hairdresser and trichologist, I’m passionate about creating
closer links with other salons as I we see what we do as two sides
of the same coin - we look after peoples hair and scalps.
With 1 in
3 women suffering from hair loss and many others afflicted with
scalp problems I really do believe that hairdresser, many of whom
have close relationships with their clients, have the duty to
understand more about the hair they’re cutting and the ability to
advise on what is a very personal and often distressing ailment. My
free training isn’t about preaching to hairdressers, it is simply
offering them an additional skills as trusted professionals ”
With so many people experiencing hair problems across the UK, many
are unaware of the fact that their problem is more than just a
cosmetic issue. The problem with specialist shampoos and treatments
sold by salons is they are unable to solve any further medical
problems.
“My job is often a little ‘Sherlock Holmes’esque’, hair problems are
often the only sign of an underlying medical issue. It’s my job to
find out the root of the problem and treat it this way – working
closely with doctors” Iain adds.
