Can I Help You?
Melissa has a background in Trichology studies and has worked with Hair Loss clients over the last 9 years. It is her biggest passion to help those suffering the affects of Hair Loss by offering them a swift confidence boost and finding the best “instant” solution in Hair Replacement systems.
“If you are currently suffering from Hair Loss, I offer many solutions and options to support you during this time – we can discuss and decide together what would be the best system for you. I offer a space to chat and carry out your service privately & I would be thrilled to support you, as best as possible, on your Hair Loss journey. I strive to achieve a natural look, all while (most importantly) maintaining the health of your natural hair.”

Mesh Integration (also known as a Volumizer system) / Crown Integration;
This entails partial or full placement of a fine membrane mesh/net. It is applied to the scalp and integrated into your own hair. Human hair is then applied to this breathable mesh, depending on your needs. The Volumizer system is worn much like hair extensions, giving full coverage, while also maintaining a very natural look. The system is light and will cause no tension on your hair, allowing it to grow/recover as normal underneath.
Frontal Integration;
Suitable for those who may be suffering from Frontal Fribrosing or Traction Alopecia. A custom hair piece will be integrated or bonded to the section that you may need coverage in. We then style and shape this hair piece into your own hair, creating a natural look. Please note, bond application will last up to 4 weeks only and will need regular maintenance.

Hair in Recovery
Hair in recovery
Hair in Recovery is a service for those suffering the effects of Hair Loss. If you are post Chemotherapy or Alopecia – you may be able to consider this restorative service.
This unique Hair Extensions programme, which has been developed in consultation with a top Trichologist – is specifically designed for people suffering from Medical Hair Loss (caused by Chemotherapy) or those with Androgenic Hair Loss – Alopecia or Telegenic Effluvium and can also give amazing results for those with Fine or Thinning Hair.
The sensitive application means you can be given an excellent style to help regain confidence and boost self-esteem while you may be waiting on the natural hair to grow unaffected and remain in great condition throughout ‘the process’.
“Working closely with women who are suffering the effects of Medical Hair Loss over the past 9 years, I felt the need to search for something to be able to offer my clients to make the process of their recovery a little easier, during what is an already difficult experience.
With fabulous colour blending and miniature sized bonds, confidently offering a service which is scientifically backed up to cause no damage and allows the natural hair to grow unaffected, this system is amazing and I am delighted to be able to offer this service in Ireland.
I am currently the only Hair in Recovery specialist in Southern Ireland and love being able to share this with those going through various types of Hair Loss.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Extension/Hair in Recovery FAQ’s
Hair in Recovery is a Trichology certified extension system. This means that they are scientifically proven to cause no damage and allow the hair to grow in normal condition underneath. This is of the utmost importance if your hair is compromised and also if not so it does not become compromised due to the tension of wearing extensions for a prolonged period.
Similar to visiting a Dermatologist for skin, a Clinical Trichologist deals with the science of hair and scalp & is the ideal person to visit if you are suffering from hair loss/ thinning etc.
- All of the extension systems that I use have been tested and approved by a Trichologist.
Absolutely. The majority of my clients are post chemotherapy. You must be 6 months finished chemotherapy and pass the necessary tests during consultation.
Not at all, you can contact me whenever you like. I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have and this allows you to plan for your Hair in Recovery journey post treatment.
Many clients contact me early, I keep your details for the month you are suitable for consultation and service. This is to ensure that you don’t have to wait any longer for an appointment as only a number of Hair in Recovery slots are available at any given time. This is to allow each person to receive the care and time that you deserve.
Absolutely. If you are looking for extensions for thinning hair using any systems that are not Trichology certified will only affect the hair further.
Yes! Lots of options. Bonds, Links, Tape & Weave. All of which are also Trichology certified.

I was one of Melissa's hair in recovery clients. I first met Melissa's 6 months post chemo and didn't believe she could do much for me, how wrong was I! She was absolutely amazing and made me feel like myself again, she is a fantastic hairdresser, goes above and beyond for her clients, and is the most down to earth girl you could ever meet. Would highly recommend her!
I first began my hair journey with Mel back in 2019 and can honestly say I haven't looked back since. When I first came to Mel my hair was an absolute disaster. It was over bleached and very broken and I even had bald patches in places.
I had been getting extensions for a number of years prior to this which in turn had left my hair extremely damaged, dry and broken. Since going to Mel for the last number of years the improvement in the condition of my hair has been incredible.
Mel recommended I start getting highlights rather than an over all bleach which would help the condition of my hair. I was also very conscious of how thin and sparse my hair was so Mel recommend Luxe hair extensions which are extremely light weight and do not damage your own hair. Over the last few years of working with Mel the improvement in my hair has been fantastic and the results really do speak for themselves.
I would recommend Mel without hesitation as not only is she highly educated and knowledgeable in terms of hair recovery but she is extremely personable and genuinely cares about her clients. We have built such a strong rapport over the years that I would now consider Mel not just my hairdresser but friend
