A legacy of excellence

Trained by the founders of modern trichology

Shuna’s career began in 1999 at the world-renowned Philip Kingsley Clinic in London. Starting in the laboratory, she gained a rare, hands-on understanding of the chemistry behind effective treatments before moving into clinical practice.

Her expertise was forged under the direct mentorship of two of the trichology world’s most respected figures: Philip Kingsley himself, and Glenn Lyons, Past Chairman of The Institute of Trichologists. This background ensures Sussex Hair Clinic patients receive a level of care and diagnostic accuracy that is hard to find elsewhere.

Why a specialist, not just a GP

Time, tools and focus a GP can’t always give you

Many patients come to us after feeling dismissed by general practitioners, or overwhelmed by internet advice. GPs are vital for general health but often lack time to investigate hair loss in depth. Hairdressers are experts in styling, not the biology of the follicle.

Time

Consultations that go deep into your history, not a ten-minute slot.

Tools

Microscopic analysis to see what is happening at the scalp level.

Focus

We treat hair and scalp conditions exclusively, every single day.

Our philosophy

The holistic detective

To treat the hair, you must understand the whole person. Hair is a barometer of your health — when the body is under stress, nutritionally, hormonally or emotionally, hair is often the first thing to suffer. We do not believe in one-size-fits-all cures.

Medical history

We review medications, illnesses and genetic factors that may be contributing.

Lifestyle & nutrition

Diet and daily habits play a major role in hair growth, and we look at both.

Emotional wellbeing

Stress is a major trigger for shedding. We address this head-on, not as an afterthought.

Scientific analysis

We combine this history with physical examination to find the true root cause.

Whether your hair loss is the cause of your stress or the result of it, we create a plan that supports your whole body, not just your follicles.

Accreditations & trust

Registered, accredited and checked

In an unregulated industry, qualifications matter. You should always verify who is treating you — Shuna is a fully registered and active member of the UK’s leading scientific and medical bodies for trichology.
