I’m all for treatments like microneedling and PRP when they’re right for the person. They can help with hair growth, and I’m certainly not here to knock them.

But looking at these pictures, you can probably see why I bang on about scalp care so much 🧐

My take? Before spending more on treatments, it’s worth understanding your skin, what you’re putting on it and how you’re looking after it between appointments.

Sometimes those everyday habits deserve a bit more of our attention and can actually help boost results it you have a clean surface to work with in first place.

I’m going to need a little time to process some rather disappointing news. 💔😂

I’ve recently discovered that Thomas and Liam have BOTH stopped using the shampoos I spent ages researching and buying specifically for their hair and scalp needs.

What are they using instead? DOVE AND LYNX SHOWER GEL 💀

And how did I discover this betrayal?

In the middle of the weekly shop when Thomas casually announces, “Oh, we better get more Dove.”

Me: “Where did you get the dove? Do you need shampoo as well?”

Thomas: “Nah, I found it in the cupboard so I’ve just been using that on my hair. Stopped using that other stuff you got me.”

Sorry, WHAT?!

Meanwhile, I’m standing in the supermarket trying not to cause a scene, internally screaming 🙃

The time, research and money I’ve spent. Clearly all for absolutely nothing.

I run a HEAD SPA. I educate people on scalp health EVERY SINGLE DAY and apparently can’t even get the two men in my own house to use actual shampoo.

The only person in this house following their recommended haircare routine is Sullivan.

THE DOG.

Please bear with me while I come to terms with this betrayal.

Honestly, where have I gone wrong? 😂

We’ll take that! Doing something we love and getting feedback like this!

Well done Kelly 👏🏼

I wonder what that wee girl would think if she could see me now.

I don’t think life has turned out anything like she’d imagined. There have been some really difficult years, plenty of tears and times l’ve questioned everything.

But slowly, and I mean slowly, those stepping stones have brought us here.

A beautiful life, a family, a business I absolutely adore and a contentmentI never thought I’d have.

The truth is you need to put the work in, you need to make the changes, you need to take the scary steps, it sometimes needs to get bad before it gets better to get where you want to go.

I think she’d be pretty chuffed with how we’re doing now.

It’s funny how we spend so much time worrying about where we’re going that we forget how much we’ve already overcome.

Still figuring it all out, still getting plenty wrong, but I reckon we’ve done alright.

Maybe even better than we expected.

I completely understand you’ve waited weeks for your appointment and don’t want to miss it. But if you’re feeling unwell, please get in touch before coming in 🤍

Twice now, I’ve had to send clients home because they arrived unwell. One had a horrendous cold and thought the steam might help 🤦🏻‍♀️Another only mentioned feeling “tickly” once questioned about their symptoms when they couldn’t stop coughing once they lay down.

We work close to your face and head, in a small, warm room. There’s a real chance we’ll catch what you’ve brought in, and that can mean lost income and cancelling a fully booked diary.

We also welcome babies, clients with vulnerable immune systems and lots of carers. The impact can reach much further than the person in the treatment room.

I’m usually all peace and love, but I need firm boundaries to protect myself, my business and my clients. If you arrive unwell, we may have to end your appointment. I have to consider the bigger picture, even when someone coming in hasn’t.

Please message as soon as symptoms start, or if there’s illness in your household. More notice gives us a better chance of filling your space and finding you another.

Same-day cancellations mean the appointment is lost and the outstanding balance is due. Where I can, I’ll cover the deposit towards a replacement appointment to soften that a little.

Thank you for looking after us too 🤍

Sunday… is one of my favourite days in HQ

The building is super quiet, the diary usually has longer appointments than normal which means the relaxation is DEEP!

The Man Spa..a winner for you both I promise 😉

We’ve had three men in this week, all overworked, over stressed, lack of sleep and drained and all left floating, one didn’t even know where he was was when he woke up he relaxed so deeply.

This is so much more than a face wash and fancy hair wash and it needs to be experienced to be understood.

Lots of guys still come in a little unsure, selfcare like this can be alien to them, but that transformation when they sit back down after the treatment the look on their faces is priceless.

When you tap in to the nervous system and understand the stress response on the male body and mind it’s easier to bring them to a place of peace.

Disclaimer - If you take offence to this, then I’m sorry you clearly need to book in 💁🏻‍♀️

“My hair just doesn’t seem to grow anymore.”

Something we hear often at Head HQ, usually followed by “It must be my age, hormones or just one of those things.”

But sometimes the answer is much simpler than you’d think. Think about your face. When your skin feels dull, congested or you’re getting spots, you give it a good cleanse, exfoliate or book yourself a facial.

Yet we rarely think to give our scalp the same attention, despite it being skin too!

Over time, products, sweat, natural oils and dead skin cells can build up, leaving the scalp congested and irritated.

Every thick, healthy strand of hair starts off as a tiny, fine new hair, so looking after the environment it’s growing in really does matter.

And while a deep cleanse won’t fix every cause of poor hair growth, it’s amazing the improvements we can see over the following months when the scalp is properly cared for.

Sometimes it’s not about what you need to put ON your hair, but what you need to take OFF your scalp. 🤎

A day late for World Menopause Day. The irony of forgetting it isn’t lost on me 🤦🏻‍♀️

I’d say around 80% of my clients are either approaching menopause, right in the thick of it or navigating life afterwards.

l’ve spent so much time researching menopause and hormone health, but nothing compares to hearing firsthand how much it affects women. Some of the conversations we have in HEAD HQ are genuinely heartbreaking.
What frustrates me most is how easily women are dismissed as being hormonal or difficult, when in reality their bodies are going through an enormous amount.

I just wish more women felt properly heard and supported. If you’re at your wits’ end with your hair or scalp, get in touch. I can’t fix menopause, but I can certainly help you make sense of what’s happening up there and also help you relax and give your brain and body a little rest 🤎

Key tip in life: don’t marry a loser. 🤣

When I first told Thomas about my wee business idea, he didn’t laugh or try to talk me out of it.

In fact, he’d spent years telling me I should have my own business. Always saying, “l wish you could see yourself through my eyes and realise how good you’d be.”
And when I eventually thought, f**k it, let’s go for it, he was right there beside me.

What you don’t see behind the scenes is everything he does to keep Head HQ running.

Finishing his own work and coming up at all hours to maintain the machines, fix leaks, touching up paint, ironing, sorting accounts and receipts, making sure I’ve packed a lunch and listening to my ideas and worries and before reminding me I usually know the answer anyway.

And I can’t forget Liam. For an 18-year-old, he’s an absolute godsend. Helping me fill up, clean, hoover, do the heavy lifting and walk Sully home. Although I’m under no illusion that the endless supply of sweets and juice at HQ isn’t a big incentive.

I could go on forever, but putting this wee video together made me quite emotional thinking about how far we’ve come.

It’s my business, but it’s never just been me.
There’s a whole lot of love and family effort behind that wee room.

And to everyone who’s booked, shared, recommended us or bought a voucher, thank you for helping us build something we’re all so proud of.

Turns out marrying someone who believes in you before you believe in yourself is a pretty good life decision.
