FAQs

At Glow with Alison, I strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for anyone looking for hair replacement or hair rescue.

I am dedicated to providing personalised services that cater to each client's unique needs, regardless of their gender identity. I understand the importance of creating a safe space where everyone can feel comfortable and respected, and I actively promote this in all my interactions with clients.

My private home salon offers a gender-neutral environment, and I am trained to be sensitive to the concerns and needs of all my clients. At Glow with Alison, I embrace diversity and am committed to creating a positive salon experience for everyone who comes to see me.

You must be aged 16 years or over to book a consultation and receive services from Glow with Alison. Those aged 16 or 17 will need parental consent and be required to bring a parent, care giver or responsible adult (aged 18+) to the appointment.

I offer the following at Glow with Alison:

Hair Replacement Service – a low commitment, low maintenance option for those with thin hair or hair loss looking to add coverage and thickness through the top of the head

Hair Rescue Service – a discreet service providing gentle, safe removal of matted hair, hair extensions or hair loss systems that have not been installed or maintained correctly

I used to offer hair extensions, but I am no longer taking on new clients. This is so that I can dedicate my time to the Hair Replacement and Hair Rescue services within Glow with Alison.

The hair used at Glow with Alison is 100% human double drawn remy hair.

'Double drawn' hair has been carefully selected and processed to ensure that the majority of the hairs in a bundle are of the same length. Shorter hairs are removed by hand leaving only long hairs, so the hair used has a consistent thickness and fullness from root to tip.

'Remy hair' refers to human hair that has been prepared in a specific way to maintain the cuticle layer of the hair shaft intact and aligned in the same direction. This results in hair that looks and feels natural, is easy to style and doesn't tangle easily.

80% of hair for toppers comes from Asia. The hair is removed from the donor in its virgin state, meaning it hasn't undergone any chemical treatments prior to manufacture.

If you are considering my Hair Rescue Service, the first step is a discussion over WhatsApp about the current condition of your hair and how I can help you to resolve the issues.

During the appointment we will talk about your hair journey and how you can best look after your hair going forward. Glow with Alison is a safe, supportive and judgement-free space for you to voice your concerns and gain knowledge for the future health of your hair.

Hair Rescue Service appointments can last several hours depending on the scope of the task. De-matting for example, involves intricate and careful releasing of the mats with specialist equipment, products and skills.
