PK Walsh - Hair Solutions for Women
 

Thinning Hair Solutions Designed Just for Women

We recognize that many women who have thinning hair or hair loss are undergoing emotional stress.  Consequently, we make every effort to provide a supportive, non-threatening environment.  Many of our staff, including founder Kathy Walsh and her daughter Nikki Walsh, have personally experienced their own hair loss.  As a result, they are uniquely equipped on an emotional level to help our clients.

Still another way that PK Walsh addresses the needs of our clients is through our innovative sHAIRing™ program.

With a primary focus on education, the program offers opportunities to meet with other women with hair loss to discuss their experiences, thoughts and ideas. The emphasis is on solutions within a safe, reassuring environment.

The sHAIRing™ activities are planned by a steering committee of women with hair loss and facilitated by PK Walsh staff.  To date, activities have included:

• all-day workshops to assist clients in styling and caring for hair-replacement pieces
• practical fashion and corrective makeup tips to complement hair replacements from an internationally acclaimed makeup artist
• a presentation by a psychiatric nurse on body image and sexuality issues as they relate to hair loss
• fitness and image consulting

An additional feature to our sHAIRing™ program is a one-to-one, mentor-type support system in which clients are, if they so desire, paired individually with women who have learned how to cope with emotional difficulties precipitated by their hair loss.

Generally there is no charge to participate in any of the sHAIRing™ activities. If you would like more information about attending the program and/or becoming a volunteer, please call us at (800) 624-4335.  You may also e-mail us.
