Hi, I'm Kathie - Board Certified Trichologist, Hair loss Specialist, Licensed Cosmetologist, Educator and Hair Health Coach in Maryville, TN.
I enjoy helping others, which has made my Cosmetology career so rewarding. I have always been an information junkie which is what led me to advance my skillset and become a Trichologist. Over my many years as a Hair Stylist I have seen hair loss increase at an alarming rate, in all ages and genders. When seeing major and often sudden changes to a client's hair I would advise them to visit a Doctor or Dermatologist but too many came back with out answers. This led me on my information deep dive. I wanted to learn how to help my clients struggling with hair loss, hair changes and scalp conditions.
Becoming a Trichologist allows me to take a holistic approach to hair and scalp health, focusing on lifestyle changes, nutrition and natural treatments. Learning how medications for hair loss have side effects that can affect your body makes me want to help my clients find healthy solutions to their hair loss and help them regrow their hair.
If you are searching for real answers to your hair loss concerns, I am here to help. Let's uncover the root cause of your hair loss together and create a plan that works for you.
