Start Here
Losing hair, thinning, shedding or noticing a bald spot? Start here.
You do not need to know what type of hair loss you have before coming to us — that is what the evaluation is for. We examine your scalp and hair under magnification, review your history, and explain what we find in plain English before any plan is written.
Where are you today?
Three honest starting points.
Most people arrive somewhere in this range. Find yourself here, and we'll take it from there.
I've just started noticing changes
Early observation is an advantage. A short conversation can help you understand what to watch and whether an evaluation makes sense now.
Begin with the complimentary phone consultation.
This has been happening for a while
Time does not remove options, but it does make careful evaluation more important. We look at the full timeline, not just today's photograph.
A comprehensive in-person consultation is usually the right step.
I've tried things that didn't work
When products and protocols haven't held, it often means the contributing factors were never fully explored. That's where we begin.
Consider the Priority Microscopic + Cellular Investigation™.

Frequently Asked
Can you help my hair loss?
Straight answers about thinning hair, shedding, bald spots, alopecia and scalp symptoms before you book.
Can you help with my hair loss?
Most likely, yes. We work with thinning hair, excessive shedding, bald spots, patchy loss, alopecia, breakage and recurring scalp symptoms such as itching or flaking. The first step is an evaluation of your scalp and hair under magnification so recommendations are based on what is actually there.
Do I need to know what type of hair loss I have first?
No. You do not need a diagnosis, a referral or the right vocabulary to book. Most people arrive with one sentence — something has changed. Identifying the pattern is our job, not yours.
What happens at a hair loss evaluation in Houston?
We review your history and timeline, examine your scalp and hair under magnification, document what we find with photography, and explain it to you in plain English. You leave with a personalized hair restoration pathway and clear next steps.
I've already tried shampoos, serums and vitamins. Is this different?
Yes, because we start earlier. When products have not held, it usually means the contributing factors were never identified. We evaluate first, then build a program around the findings rather than around a product.
Are you a doctor or a medical hair loss clinic?
We are trichologists — specialists in hair and scalp science. Trichology is a non-medical field: we evaluate, investigate and support hair and scalp wellness, and we coordinate with your healthcare providers when medical care is appropriate.
Do you work with all hair types and textures?
Yes. Our evaluations and restoration programs are designed for the full range of hair textures and types, including traction alopecia along the hairline and postpartum or stress-related shedding.
Frequently Asked
Why are you different?
What changes when the evaluation comes before the recommendation.
What makes your hair loss clinic different?
We investigate before we recommend. Most hair loss care begins with a product; ours begins with a look at your scalp and hair under magnification, plus a structured review of your history. Nothing is recommended until we have something documented to base it on.
What is Investigative Trichology™, in plain English?
Investigative Trichology™ is our systematic approach to understanding the factors that may contribute to hair and scalp concerns — evaluate first, explain the findings, then personalize the program. It is a way of working, not a treatment you buy.
What does "We Don't Guess. We Test.™" actually mean for my visit?
It means your appointment starts with observation rather than assumption. Magnified scalp imaging, a structured history and documented findings come before any plan is written — and you see what we see while we are looking.
