Stella's Trichotillomania story
Stella tells her story
I'm Stella and I am 25 years old. I first started to pull in my early teens. So I had suffered with Trichotillomania and Hair loss from it for over 10 years. I felt so insecure and out of control. I didn't understand how many girls out there have the same disorder.
My therapist could see how much my confidence was affected by my hair loss and they actually are the ones who recommended I speak with someone at Lucinda Ellery. It was a game changer.
I can shower, work out and even curl my own hair. I feel so lucky to have found them and everyone at the salon feels like family and it really has restored my self-confidence.
