Simone

Simone Thomas is the founder of Simone Thomas Salons and hair loss clinic in Westbourne, Dorset, plus the founder of Simone Thomas Wellness.

Simone Thomas is a respected and award-winning authority in the world of hair health and wellness. Sharing her knowledge as a leading nutrition and hair loss consultant,  a bio-energetics practitioner, Simone has built an enviable reputation through her multi-award-winning hair salons and hair loss clinics in the UK. She is also an in-demand keynote speaker at industry events and regularly appears in the national press and magazines, offering hair loss and hair thinning advice.  

Simone employs a team of top hair directors, hair stylists, colourists, nutriosnists, trichologists and hair loss specialists who offer a wide range of services from hair cuts & colours and wedding hair to treating non-surgical hair loss and scalp conditions. 

Her journey to becoming an expert in hair loss, thinning hair and scalp conditions began more than a decade ago when Simone was diagnosed with a form of cervical cancer which led to her suffering from alopecia where her healthy, glossy hair began to fall out.

After seeking advice from hairdressers and doctors, Simone became frustrated at the lack of help and support for hair loss sufferers and was left disappointed at the quality of wigs, wefts and hairpieces available. It was then that she decided to turn her experience into a career.  

Nutrition and exercise are two of Simone’s huge passions and she even has a diploma in Weight and Nutrition Management, helping clients to address their hair health from within - yes, there is nothing this lady cannot do! Simone Thomas uses her Simone Thomas nutritional supplements to help treat her clients’ hair and scalp health and overall health. 

Simone Thomas Wellness is one of Simone’s latest successes in her life with numerous award wins and national press coverage this year. Simone personally researched, developed, trialled and tested her products which has seen her own health and hair improve so much she has been able to stop wearing wigs and hair extensions. With Simone seeing this she decided her clinic clients needed to experience these benefits… Simone Thomas Wellness was born!

Our very own Wellness and Hair Loss Queen loves spending her free time on the beach with her family and keeping active.

Who or what inspires you to do well?

My grandma inspires me the most with her can do attitude to life. She is my best friend, my world & I would be lost without her! She has been there for me since I was a little girl and has always given me the courage to do more in life. Anyone that has met her can see how much of a glamour puss she is and how she takes such pride in her hair and the way she dresses. If I grow up to be even a portion or what’s she’s like, I know I’ll be doing okay! A true GLAM - Ma 

 

Michelle

Hair Director Michelle is one of our newest team members.   You can find out more about her here.....

Tell us a bit about your background?   I’m originally from South Africa, born and bred. Where I completed my training and qualified. Been in the industry over 12 years now. Feel like hairdressing is in my blood, it’s not just my job it’s a part of me.    Whose hair would you love to get your hands on?   I’d love to do some of the big names in Hollywood, like Scarlett Johansson and Jennifer Anniston. Getting them ready for the Oscars. Or someone like Miley Cyrus, where I could have fun and change their look.    Which celebrity do you think has the best hair?   Love the Beckham’s think they have had amazing hairstyles. I love how they always evolving with fashions and new trends. And, again all those who grace the red carpet for the Grammy awards.    What are the three products you couldn’t live without?   Well being blonde myself couldn’t live without my Davines alchemic sliver conditioner, Davines all in one milk and dry texturizer for funky styles and texture.   Do you have any life goals?   Grow as much as I can in this industry, show the world what I got and maybe eventually teach hairdressing.    If you could invite 3 people to dinner on the whole world who would choose?   Well considering my parents are still in South Africa and my sister is in Vietnam and I haven’t seen them in 2 years, I think I’d like to cook an epic meal and have them over for dinner.    What’s your favourite hair service to offer?    I love doing everything, but I think my favourite is full on makeovers! I LOVE doing awesome transformation and changing people’s lives.   If you would like to book in with Michelle, please call 01202 760003
