The HAIR REBORN Programme

HAIR REBORN helping women with cancer hair loss

Hair loss is one of the most common side effects of chemotherapy for cancer treatment and we are here to offer re-assurance and guidance on an individual and personal level, helping you to prepare and feel more confident as you go through your temporary hair loss journey.  

The FREE in-salon programme offers up to 3 appointments at a HAIR REBORN appointed salon as your hair beings to grow back, post-chemo, helping you to achieve a new healthy, manageable style and regain your identity, confidence and self-esteem.

Please note that all salons/stylists volunteer their time. 

Some salons are only able to offer up to 2 appointments because of the volume of referrals they receive - this will be advised on registering.

You will have to register in order to start the programme but you can reach out at any time for advice and support.

Please see below eligibility and further details.

RE-ASSURE

We can either chat over the telephone or via a video link.  We are here to provide reassurance, advice and support to patients before, during and after treatment has been completed. We’ll explain what may happen to your hair and scalp during treatment, how to prepare for scalp cooling for the best possible outcome, discuss new hairstyle options that that may help with managing hair loss, as well as options to consider such as wigs and scarves during your temporary hair loss and point you in the right direction.  We will explain the HAIR REBORN programme and register you as a HAIR REBORN Guest and pass your details on to the allocated salon, who will then get in touch with you to arrange your first hair styling visit and subsequent visits thereafter. 

RE-START

This would be your first salon visit at least 8 weeks after chemo has ended when your hair has begun to grow back and would benefit from a trim and tidy to prepare for your new hairstyle. The stylist will advise when you’ll be ready for your next visit and arrange this with you.

RE-STYLE

This appointment would be 8-12 weeks after the Re-Start visit when your hair has grown sufficiently, to trim and shape your hair to get your new style underway. The stylist will talk through what they are doing in order to reassure you.  At the end of this visit, your stylist will arrange your third visit with you.

RE-BORN

This would be the final appointment in the programme, again approximately 8-12 weeks after your RE-STYLE visit, leaving you with a new manageable hairstyle. The stylist will give advice and tips on managing your new hair, ongoing hair care advice and colouring advice. At this final appointment, we ask the guest to complete a feedback form about their experience.
