Attention boys – just for piece of mind…

Hair loss can happen to anyone. What we don’t recognise is how common it is, nor how willing certain people are to help. At the London Hair Clinic, you could say our personalised services are what make us different to any other hair replacement centre.

Through personal experience, we understand what you’re going through. We also understand how difficult seeking help for hair loss can be, or seeking any advice in the hair replacement industry, especially for men – worry no more!

Take it from Sky presenter Anthony Miller, who states “The London Hair Clinic has changed my life... they could change yours, too!” Anthony admitted his “appearance was everything”, and being a male in the public eye, his thinning hair was bothering him immensely. However, after meeting our managing director Graham and using our hair replacement service, he has gone from bald to bold, and isn’t afraid to say so. One of the things that makes Graham stand out from other hair consultants is his life experience. Having suffered androgenetic alopecia himself, he comments: "I lost my hair in my 20s - it was early to lose it, and it knocked my confidence”, however after buying his first hair piece, he not only found himself transforming physically but mentally too, going on to say “I felt more confident, more complete."

At the London Hair Clinic, we pride ourselves on providing our clients with professional, friendly, personal advice as well as the most lightweight, undetectable, revolutionary hair replacement system out there. We use private consultation rooms to keep all of our clients comfortable and at ease with their hairdresser, and explain the procedure in detail. The hair replacement process involves using hair pieces made of strands of hair delicately woven into lace, which camouflages itself with your natural hairline and scalp, and is then cut precisely to size to fit the dome of your head for the ultimate natural outcome.

As featured in the Guardian, Phil Hilton admits after his experience with the London Hair Clinic: “I sit outside on the street wearing second-hand hair and it feels fantastic. You know that tickly feeling you get when your fringe flops into your eye and you have to flick it away? Well, I do!”

Have a look at our website, give us a call, try it out – you have nothing to lose and all this hair and happiness to gain!

Long Hair Love

Romantic, versatile and feminine- the celebs love their lusciously long locks, and it's catching on with the rest of us- now you can even buy synthetic extensions on the high street (Babyliss at Boots are good options for a quick fix, though they don't last long and at £30 won't last you for months of wear.) The sad truth, however, is that a quest for great lengths can damage and tire out your hair. 

Forget what you think a wig is - old fashioned, dated, and un-stylish. As the examples below prove, you can get a gorgeous modern set of tresses with zero damage, zero waiting, and maximum sexiness.

 

At Bloomsbury's Online Wig Store you can find options to transform you into Keira or Jessica in seconds. "Brittany"  (above) channels Jessica's softly swept side-fringe and gentle waves. See the Long Hair Wigs page for more beautiful styles!

" 'Do" Let Your Hair Do The Talking!

Let’s face it; we all love a bit of pampering. Total relaxation, letting someone else take care of us, making us feel glamorous - and with noticeable, beautiful results.

Whether you want to or not, we all notice celebrities and their ever-changing styles; their vows to wear a different outfit everyday or even going a la Paris Hilton and binning your clothes after they’re worn once, we can’t help but be fascinated.

Let’s take Cheryl Cole, ‘Britain’s sweetheart’ - Cheryl couldn’t put a foot wrong in our eyes for the last two years, but a dodgy new ‘do for The X Factor live shows and she was instantly slated. It’s amazing to think that someone could go from being branded by Marie Clare as “utterly immaculate”, to a lovely “we didn't much care for this shade of aubergine” from Heat magazine – and the lesson we learn from this? Never underestimate the power of your hair!

So, enough about celebrity don’ts, the latest big celebrity do in the world of ‘do’s? – Extensions, wigs, anything to stand out. Someone who has recently shot to limelight is Nicki Minaj. You may think this Sri Lankan songstress is a stranger, but she has certainly made her mark. She spent the majority of last year writing and featuring in songs for Rihanna, Eminem, Kanye West, Will.I.Am and even our own Natasha Bedingfield, but she is well and truly standing alone now. And what makes her different to the others? Her hair. You may not know much about Nicki, but one thing’s for sure, you can not accuse her of being shy! She admits to ‘expressing herself through her individual style’, well that is certainly not something I would argue with. Take a look below – what’s the first thing you notice?

Don’t say I didn’t warn you!

Personally I’m not advocating you to go green, orange or multicoloured – my point is, hair has power. Hair makes impressions. Hair is fashion. It’s the latest way that celebrities are trying to reach out to us and become individual, and in my opinion, about time!

Naturally, if all the celebs are doing it, I want to as well – don’t you? Visit our online wig store to see a range of gorgeous wigs that will help you update your look in seconds, damage and commitment-free, just like Nicki!

Ethical Hair Sourcing at Bloomsbury of London

The hair extension market has come under fire in recent years. After the media and public's initial love affair with the possibilities suddenly open to those among us with less-than-lustrous locks, a backlash concerning the unethical sourcing of the product took the shine off the trend. Cheryl Cole appeared on The X Factor with a bobbed haircut, Victoria Beckham complained of the damage extensions had wreaked on her own hair, and Jamelia highlighted the plight of Eastern European girls who received just a pound or two for their ponytails.

Caucasian hair is considered by hairdressers to be the most desirable quality in the market. "Virgin" untreated hair in particular will last the wearer the longest, whereas cheaper, chemically processed human hair available often proves a false economy due to its porous nature and damaged cuticle. Finding ethically sourced virgin European hair, however, is harder than you would think, as Jamelia's documentary proved- yet the obvious solution seems to have yet to take off. What if long-haired women in the UK could sell their own hair to a reputable salon, for direct use in extensions and wigs, and earn money from it?

Currently, Chancery Hairdressing - the salon arm of Bloomsbury of London - is one of the only companies in the UK to provide this 100% ethical service. Clients' ponytails are cut off and weighed free of charge, and the quality and weight of the hair will dictate the price received, cash in hand. This process can be seen here on Chancery's Youtube Channel.

If you're interested in selling your hair and helping make the extension and wig industry in the UK a more ethical one, contact Chancery on 02078315388 for a chat.
