Kim Metcalf joins national network to support women with medical hair loss

Inspired by having lost her own hair through chemotherapy for breast cancer in 2010 and wearing a wig herself for 9 months Kim Metcalf has just completed an intensive one day wig personalisation course led by leading hairdresser Trevor Sorbie at the L’Oreal Professionel head quarters in London.

Kim Metcalf not only received intensive direction on working with and fitting wigs for clients with Trevor Sorbie himself, but also took part in a communications workshop lead by cancer nurses from The Communication Equation Ltd. who are experienced in helping people improve their communication skills, particularly when dealing with sensitive and difficult situations. An invaluable part of the training, this part of the seminar is designed to help "My New Hair" associates put even the most vulnerable clients at ease allowing the nurses to answer questions and share their professional knowledge and insight with the group.

Kim Metcalf joins a national network of over 300 professional hairdressers who are offering their services up and down the country to patients who are suffering from medical hair loss. This list includes other notable industry names including Andrew Collinge, Mark Hill, Andrew Mulvenna, and Charles Worthington. Trevor aims to train at least 400 hairdressers on his programme over the next 2 years to deliver the “My New Hair” service in salons and healthcare environments.

"My New Hair" by Trevor Sorbie provides the definitive training and education for hair professionals to enable them to provide the premium wig cutting service in the industry. This important initiative aims to contribute towards some significant "psychological medicine" for a person experiencing medical hair loss. A client can expect a respectful, compassionate and professional consultation, tailored to their individual need.

Kim says "I would love to help give any hair loss sufferer the confidence and feel good factor by customising and personalising their wig to look as natural as possible whilst enhancing their face shape"

There is also a dedicated website www.mynewhair.org offering tips for clients selecting, and caring for wigs.
