Last week, I introduced you to our Hair Loss Makeover Winner: Linsey and I promised to keep you updated on her amazing journey as she undergoes her full makeover.
The next step for Linsey, or anyone who comes in to Jeffrey Paul Salon, is a private consultation to further understand her hair loss. This personalized discussion is one of the most important steps for any of our guests.
In the video above I take you through three of the components, of a consultation, that allows my team to create a custom designed solution. These three components are:
“To have thick beautiful hair…would be a dream come true, it could change my life!” – Linsey D.
Back in November my team ran A New Year Hair Loss Makeover contest on my blog and social media channels. We received an overwhelming response from all of our fans, and now it’s time to unveil the transformation.
First, I’d like you to meet Linsey, not only is she a wonderful person, who I truly enjoyed working with, but she is an inspirational woman as she has faced – and now overcome – her hair loss troubles while still being an incredible wife and mother! This video will help you to understand Linsey’s struggles and her strength and why we are featuring her as one of our inspirational women of today. It’s not only the pain masked in her voice, but the hope in her eyes that truly gives me, and my team, the passion to help educate and transform the lives of women every day.
Stay tuned over the next few weeks as we continue unveil Linsey’s full makeover journey!

Going through life having to deal with hair loss can be a constant struggle, a struggle that as adults can be emotionally and physically taxing. As taxing as it may be for adults imagine experiencing that struggle from a child’s perspective, can you imagine how daunting that would be?
My non-profit organization, Wigs For Kids, has had the opportunity to love, support and assist children who are experiencing medical related hair loss. With this opportunity, we have been blessed with an outstanding network of individuals who give their time, support, funds and services to help children look and feel themselves.
Yet in order to provide wigs to as many children in need as possible, Wigs For Kids needs to rely on generous volunteers, donations, and fundraisers. How can you help make these wishes come true? Here are three ways you can help out:
It takes 20-30 ponytails to create one wig for a child. By growing and donating your hair to Wigs for Kids you can become a part of changing that child’s life.
Host a Ladies Night of Pampering with your friends! Provide the food and drinks and even a silent auction and have donating’s go to Wigs For Kids.
3. Use Aquage/Wigs for Kids Products!
We have been lucky enough to partner with Aquage care and stylist products to create a Wigs for Kids gift pack. Support Wigs for Kids while looking beautiful with these fantastic products.
By getting involved, you’re helping to increase the help and support we can give to these kids at no cost to them. It is with your generosity that we are able to put a smile on these kids’ faces!
If you would like to learn more about Wigs For Kids and how you and your salon can get involved, please find information on their website here, or email or call me.
I had the opportunity to write an article for Help Me 2 Stop, an organization working to bridge the gap between Trichotillomania suffers and salon professionals, and I want to share this article with my blog followers because I feel like every woman experiencing hair loss may have these same questions.
There are many special holidays and events that can be a time when many women experiencing hair loss want to hide away and not celebrate with that special someone. You ask yourself, “will he notice that I’m wearing a hairpiece,” “what will he feel when they touch my wig,” “what will his reaction be if I tell them I’m wearing a wig?”
These are all questions we contemplate each day we walk out of our homes and into a world where others never think of these things. But there are things you can do to build confidence in yourself and confidence in your true beauty.
In my last blog I talked about how you can start to tackle your hair loss this year as a personal resolution for yourself. If you have begun to collect the hairs that fall out each day, then I want to discuss the next steps.
We want to evaluate various factors or your lifestyle at different times to see how problems might be progressing. You should note that hair loss is related to what happened yesterday – not today. We will likely have forgotten what might have caused it, because the loss becomes noticeable only after the events that triggered it. I encourage my clients to keep a diary or a journal of their hair loss over a ninety-day period – which represents the cycle of hair. I encourage you to do the same before you begin addressing your hair loss concerns constructively, and continue to alter.
For the same reasons, we take a two-to five-year personal history on a client in our initial consultation and create a timeline showing the correlation of events in their lives with noticed amounts of loss. When our clients see these timelines, they often say, “I didn’t realize that all of this was happening at the same time.” The main reason to do that initial assessment is to win the first half of the battle – understanding what has actually happened that brought about some of these issues.
After evaluating every aspect of your life, your hair restoration specialist should have a better idea of why you are experiencing hair loss, what steps you can take to prevent further hair loss, and what solution is a best fit for you.

2014 is the year, the year to tackle your hair loss and find out how you can find a solution.
Treating your hair loss starts at home. The products you use at home will change. The way you take care of your hair and even the manner in which you do many standard things in your life will change to accommodate the needs of your hair. I want you to begin to chart your course of treatment and monitor your needs in order to have the most effective outcome.
About a week before clients come in to see us at the Jeffrey Paul Salon, we have them gather and count the hair that falls out during that week. When they come in, we conduct an analysis using a microscopic video monitoring of their scalp, the follicles, the openings where hair emerges from the scalp, and other factors, in order to measure and put a value on the stage of your loss so that you can understand the steps you will need to take to alter the situation. If you collect hair you’ve lost and put it in a clear plastic baggie, daily, for a week, you can see at a glance whether you are losing more or less hair as time goes on.
Did you ever have a secret that you kept to yourself? A secret so private that if anyone found out you would be horrified? For many, the answer is yes.
Trichotillomania or compulsive hair pulling can be one of those secrets. My friend, Amy Burzinski, works with individuals suffering from Trichotillomania and she gave us some insight into the disorder.
Trichotillomania (TTM or “Trich”) is a disorder that causes people to pull out the hair from their scalp, eyelashes, eyebrows, or any other parts of the body, resulting in noticeable bald patches. Trichotillomania is a type of body focused repetitive behavior or BFRB for short. People who have trich will describe a strong “urge” to pull. The urge can be so strong that it can almost feel like an attack- unrelenting and demanding attention before anything else can be done.
“I’m so excited I want to scream… but I don’t want to scare my kids!” – Linsey D.
I am so excited to announce the “A New You Makeover” winner – Linsey D. My team spent a great deal of time trying to decide between the many applicants and the two well deserving finalists. As we spent time with Linsey we found that her hair loss was caused by a combination of Graves Disease, Hashimoto’s Disease and the medications associated with them. We realized that there is a need to bring awareness to women, all over, experiencing thyroid and autoimmune type diseases – that there is a solution for thinning hair and hair loss.
Linsey was so excited to find out that she has been selected as our winner that not only did she want to scream, but said this contest is the only thing she has ever won – besides a coloring contest when she was younger! Her husband was so elated he began yelling and jumping for joy at his office. His co-workers rushed in to see if everything was okay! And our favorite was that when Linsey told her mom, over text, that she had won, Linsey said, “my mom is screaming for joy – over text!”
“Jeffrey, I have begun losing my hair and am unsure about what to ask my stylist or a hair loss specialist in order to find someone who is going to do a good job recommending a solution. What questions should I be asking?” ~ Alicia P.
When a woman begins experiencing hair loss and thinning it can be an experience with a lot of unanswered questions. What do I do? What can I do? Is there a solution for me?
Talking to your stylist is a big step, and one I want you to make as part of your New Year’s resolution. You may be embarrassed, you may want to hide your thinning and loss, but your stylist is there to help. Here are some questions to ask your stylist, or a hair loss specialist, and what responses you would want to receive.
1. Do you specialize in women’s hair loss issues? Can I talk to one or two of your clients who had similar circumstances to mine.
Good answers: Yes, or, mostly. Of course, we can arrange that, and maybe you can even meet one of them, who was happy with our work – have a look at the solution she selected!
Over the past month I ‘ve asked and you’ve answered! So many of you have sent us your stories to enter the Jeffrey Paul Salon and Beachwood Plastic Surgery and Medial Spa’s makeover contest, “A New You,“ and now, we are excited to change one woman’s life who is living with hair loss. We have chosen our two finalists and would like to share their stories with you.
Linsey: Linsey was diagnosed with Grave’s Disease, an autoimmune disorder leading to hyperthyroidism, back in 1996.
“When I first started losing my hair, I kept telling myself it would come back. ‘It has to’, I’d say. That was 16 years ago. It has been a lonely and depressing journey.”
“If I won this makeover it would truly change my life. I have been desperately seeking the confidence that so many women in our society take for granted. I long to feel what it might be like to get my fingers caught in my hair. Or to have to pull my hair back because it’s being unruly. To feel what it’s like to have to put a hat on because I’m actually having a bad hair day.“
Kylie:
Kylie began losing her hair when she was 12 and by the time she was 15 she was completely bald from alopecia. She continued to struggle with different wigs that just did not work for her.
“Winning this contest would mean that women like me across the states can also make a change in their life for the better. It stands as a symbol for anyone going through hair loss for any reason that they too- are special enough to change their lives.”
“Whether it be by makeover or lifestyle change- beauty comes from within. A makeover emphasizes that beauty and gives me a reason to share my story with others, hopefully enabling other women to make the positive change as well.”
After a hair loss consultation at the Jeffrey Paul Salon, my team will be able to evaluate each of the finalist’s hair loss and then choose one winner. Comment below, on who you would choose to be our Hair Loss Makeover winner?

We have all heard the saying, “you need to get to the root of the problem in order to find a solution.” Finding a hair loss solution is no different. When a woman comes in to see me to ask about a solution for her hair loss she is looking to find a solution that takes care of what she sees in the mirror every day. Yet, it is just as important that we also work on a solution for what is unseen and may be the root of the problem of hair loss.
Much like a tree, hair has a root called the follicle. If the follicle of the hair is not getting the right nutrients it can cause the hair to grow thinner, go dormant or even fall out. This is why maintaining a healthy diet and finding the right nutritional supplement, comprised of natural elements, can make a difference in keeping hair strong and beautiful while also maintaining hair for as long as possible.
“Over the years my eyebrows have greatly thinned. Each morning I spend close to 30 minutes putting on my eyebrows and I am always concerned that they are not even and fearful they could wipe off by accident. I long for the day I don’t need to worry about this any longer. Is there anything I can do?” – Maxie
Maxie, this is a great question and a question that I believe many women experience every day. The solution that I have found to have exceptional results is permanent makeup.
Permanent makeup or Micro pigmentation is a procedure in which an organic pigment is embedded beneath the skin to add permanent color. Permanent makeup involves the use of a hand-held device that punctures the skin hundreds of times per minute with very thin needles and pushes the pigment into the desired location – very similar to receiving a tattoo.
Permanent makeup can be performed in areas that include: eyeliner, eyebrows, lip liner, or lip fill. It can also be performed for camouflage of scars or birthmarks.
The best part about permanent makeup is that it is extremely natural looking, has very little pain or discomfort associated with it and it allows you to have a maintenance free solution to thinning eyebrows.
As a part of this $3,000 the winner will receive permanent makeup and airbrush application. If you are interested in learning more about this contest Click Here. If you are interested in entering to win this makeover:
