My Journey in Trichology
Foundations with an Industry Pioneer
My career in trichology began in 1999 at the renowned Philip Kingsley clinic in London. I started in the product laboratory, gaining a foundational, hands-on understanding of the science behind treatments by producing specialised creams and shampoos.
Clinical Training & Mentorship
While working as a clinical assistant and administering treatments, I undertook formal training with The Institute of Trichologists.
After qualifying, I had the invaluable opportunity to consult under the direct mentorship of two of the field’s most respected figures: Philip Kingsley and my father, Glenn Lyons (Past Chairman of The Institute of Trichologists). This experience shaped my diagnostic skills and patient-centric approach.
Shuna Hammocks Trichology
In 2010, I founded Shuna Hammocks Trichology. My goal was to bring this world-class London experience to my own clinic, blending it with my personal, holistic philosophy and collaborating with other specialist therapists to treat the whole person, not just the symptom.
My Approach: A Holistic, Patient-First Philosophy
I believe a successful diagnosis comes from looking at the complete picture. Trichology is a holistic discipline, and your hair often serves as a barometer for your internal health.
To understand your condition, I investigate all aspects of your life:
- Medical Health & History
- Lifestyle, Nutrition & Stress
- Family History (Genetics)
- Emotional Wellbeing
My first job is to listen to your concerns. Whether an underlying stressor is causing your hair issue or the hair issue is causing your stress, I will gently guide you to set up a supportive, effective, and sustainable treatment plan.
My Mission: To Help You Love Your Hair Again
I am passionate about raising the profile of trichology. Too often, people suffer from hair loss or a painful scalp without knowing that a specialist like me exists.
My mission is to change that. Through regularly blogging, offering expert guidance, and providing top tips, I am committed to sharing my knowledge.
My absolute passion is consulting with patients. I pledge to use my extensive experience to help everyone I see to the best of my ability.
