Trichotillomania & Hair Loss at Noelle Salon

When first sighting Trichotillomania over 20 years ago, a hair-pulling behavior, so many did not admit they were actually pulling out their own hair. Finally realizing that the condition was not Alopecia, we decided that we not only needed to address our clients' hair loss aesthetically but to help prevent the pulling behavior. We devised a hair system that adds beautiful hair, restoring our clients' natural look, but creating a barrier to prevent hair pulling. It is like a big "stop sign," which is difficult to touch, thus hair grows back! Additionally, we never shave or glue our hair systems in place, instead, we use a beaded matrix that attaches the hair topper (hair system) to natural hair.  

Our hair toppers are made of the finest quality virgin (one-donor) hair, we custom-make our own brand in different cap sizes, colors, and textures. The hair toppers are light in weight, and comfortable, yet offer maximum density to be worn at the top of the head. They are perfect for all types of hair loss i.e. alopecia, alopecia areata, androgenetic alopecia, and hair loss due to a myriad of reasons. Hair toppers address hair loss at the top of the head and can be combined with hair extensions. As far as hair extensions, they will only work if there is hair present to cover them.  

A hair topper is not a wig, it is far more natural looking and is affixed to the head with the intention of living an active lifestyle. Hair toppers are then removed, serviced, and reattached on a monthly basis, we also offer in-between quick tightening, which is especially helpful when first wearing the hair topper. We provide wigs for those with complete hair loss, and we prefer to attach those as well carefully. Wig attachment will vary based on the area, and type of hair loss. Our goal is to teach you how to work with your hair topper, wig, and hair extensions. We offer constant support via phone, online chat, or our online booking service.  

We respect your privacy, therefore our hair loss services are performed in a private area if you so chose. The best way to start is with a free consultation where we will identify your needs, explore options and fit you with the best-suited hair system.  

Our virgin hair products are priced affordable, but we can help you with seeking payment assistance via your insurance provider. It is best to call your insurance company and ask what coverage they offer for a diagnosis of "alopecia," for a scalp prosthesis. Once coverage is confirmed, you will most likely need a physician's prescription for a scalp prosthesis, and we will provide documentation for insurance reimbursement.

Many of our clients with Trichotillomania are young children, young adults, and adults; we welcome parental participation. We take pride in our extensive knowledge and are always willing to share our expertise and advice.

There are certain hair systems that are dangerous for natural hair or are excessively overpriced. We want to educate all hair loss sufferers and create a safe space where other people with hair loss will offer their advice. We are a member of BFRB.org (Body Focused Repetitive Disorder), this site helps you to understand that hair pulling is similar to nail biting, skin picking, or other comforting body-focused behavior -- it is not unusual.

Hair loss in general, particularly Trichotillomania, is quite common, please understand you are not alone, and there is a place where you can trust the advice given, and will not be taken advantage of.
