Philip Kingsley: A Pioneer in Hair and Scalp Care

Philip Kingsley, widely known as the “Hair Doctor,” was a world-renowned Trichologist who transformed the field of hair and scalp health. With a career spanning over six decades, Kingsley’s groundbreaking work and innovative products set new standards in hair care. His understanding of hair science, combined with a compassionate approach, continues to influence Trichologists and hair care specialists worldwide.

The Philip Kingsley Clinics

Philip Kingsley established two flagship clinics—one in London and the other in New York—both of which remain synonymous with excellence in trichology. Staffed by highly qualified professionals trained through the Institute of Trichologists, these clinics provide expert care for a range of complex hair and scalp conditions.

Trichologist Shuna Hammocks trained and worked at the prestigious Philip Kingsley Clinic in London, where she gained invaluable experience under the mentorship of Clinical Director Glenn Lyons, a leading figure in the industry. Shuna’s time at the clinic allowed her to develop an in-depth understanding of hair loss conditions, scalp disorders, and personalised treatment approaches.

Through her training at the clinic, Shuna has brought the same level of expertise and care to her own practice, focusing on improving clients’ hair health while raising awareness about trichology as a specialist field.

Philip Kingsley Products: A Scientific Approach to Hair Care

Philip Kingsley’s product range is renowned for its innovation, efficacy, and focus on hair health. Developed by Trichologists and suitable for all hair types, these products address a variety of concerns, including hydration, volume, and scalp care. Among the most popular products are:

• Philip Kingsley Elasticizer – A deep-conditioning pre-shampoo treatment for improving hair strength and elasticity.
• Philip Kingsley Body Building Shampoo – Designed to add volume and body to fine, limp hair.
• Philip Kingsley Scalp Mask & Toner – Solutions to soothe, refresh, and treat an irritated or flaky scalp.
• Philip Kingsley Curl Activator – Enhances and defines natural curls.

While these products are highly effective for maintaining healthy hair, certain conditions require professional advice. Persistent hair loss, thinning, or scalp disorders often need tailored treatments, which can only be provided through a consultation with a qualified Trichologist.

The Philip Kingsley Seminar: Training Industry Experts

In addition to offering expert care, the Philip Kingsley Clinic has trained countless industry professionals through its seminars. Shuna Hammocks hosted Day 1 of the Philip Kingsley Seminar each month for several, where she taught professionals about the Philip Kingsley product range, common trichological conditions, and the importance of recognising when to refer clients to a Trichologist.

Day 2 of the seminar was hosted by Glenn Lyons, Clinical Director of the Philip Kingsley Clinic and Shuna’s mentor. His wealth of experience and dedication to the field have inspired Shuna throughout her trichology career.
