New service in Bournemouth comes to the aid of cancer sufferers and others with hair loss or thin hair

MEDIA RELEASE

A South West based business that specialises in helping people who have thin hair or hair loss is helping staff at a local hospice in the techniques required to wash, style and blow dry patient's hair.

Hair Loss Bournemouth,www.hairlossbournemouth.co.uk, based at hair and beauty salon MWAH Bournemouth is training staff in the art of hair care at East Dorset's Lewis Manning Hospice based in Poole.

The charity offers free specialist palliative nursing care to around 650 local people living with cancer and other life-limiting illnesses, giving them and their families and carers, access to the support they may need to help them cope with their illness and the changes it may bring.

Sally Goodenough from Lewis Manning Hospice said, "We know our patients will welcome the advice and training that Simone, who owns Hair Loss Bournemouth, and her employees are offering our staff and patients. We all appreciate the difference it makes when you go to your hair dresser and have a professional wash and blow dry and I know that our patients, many of whom are cancer sufferers, will welcome the expert advice that they can offer on hair loss and thin hair."

Owner of the specialist salon, Simone is an expert in thinning hair and hair loss, and can speak from personal experience as she lost her own hair twice before the age of 30. Having worked in TV, Film and Magazine Modelling since the age of 18 Simone was forced to look for ways to cover up her hair loss, but found there was little on the market except for cheap and nasty looking wigs.

After taking several courses in Specialist Hair Extensions & Hair Loss Systems Simone set up a business that provides professional makeup services, hair extensions and hair loss systems to clients all over the UK and Europe. She sources the best products and systems and has a range of clientele that includes celebrities, TV companies, photographers and agents.

Simone moved to Dorset from London and opened her first all encompassing salon in Bournemouth called MWAH Bournemouth - Makeup, Wigs & Hair. Hair Loss Bournemouth is also based at MWAH and a brand new website,www.hairlossbournemouth.co.ukdetails all the services and advice available.

Hair loss or thinning hair is always going to be traumatic for the person involved, but Hair Loss Bournemouth means that there is now an expert service in the South West to help anyone who suffers from these conditions, or just fancies a change from cropped hair to long flowing tresses.
