Restoring Confidence

Medical hair loss is very real and affects women all over the world.

You might not know that it impacts young girls and women of all ages. No matter how old or young, hair loss has life-altering consequences for those suffering from it.

The reasons are varied, but the result is the same — often completely stripping women and girls of their confidence. Common causes include female pattern baldness, natural hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, the aftereffects of burns and surgery, menopause, alopecia and the unforgiving chemotherapy used to treat cancer. Mental health disorders can also lead to Trichotillomania, which is where hair is lost due to repeated pulling of hair from the scalp.

Age is no barrier, as complex underlying issues can cause hair loss in young girls, just as easily as a side effect during the often-turbulent journey of womanhood, such as coming off the contraceptive pill and day-to-day stress. No matter the cause, there is a solution.

Beverly May Hair is a women’s-only non-surgical hair replacement salon in Prospect. Danielle Mahony and her staff are highly trained and have significant experience as hair replacement specialists — some even gaining invaluable insights during their own hair loss journeys. For over 12 years, Beverly May Hair has helped Adelaide women restore their confidence and live life on their terms.

Founder Beverly Waters used her qualifications and experience as a hairdresser to launch her own hair extension business in 2006. She specialised in making small hairpieces during the rising trend of women wanting to change the length and thickness of their hair for special occasions.

While providing this popular service, Beverly noticed a genuine need for more permanent hair replacement solutions, rather than those just wanting to change it from time to time. She also saw the need for a more natural look to traditional hair extensions, which tended to sit on the top of the existing hair rather than blending in. She and her then recently graduated hairdressing apprentice, Danielle, travelled to San Diego in the US to learn all about invisible hair grafting and other more natural-looking nonsurgical hair solutions for women.

Danielle knew early that she had found her calling and after working in the business for seven years, purchased it when Beverly retired in 2022. “I just loved every minute of seeing those transformations,” she says. “The cutting and styling are equally important and very personal,” says Danielle.

“Hairdressing is rewarding, but it’s far more rewarding when you hear someone say, ‘This has been life-changing for me.’ You can’t beat that feeling!” she continues. “Getting your hair or nails done makes you feel good, so imagine restoring someone’s confidence with a more long-term hair solution!”

“We have great relationships with lots of hospitals and dermatologists around Adelaide,” says Danielle. Beverly May Hair works closely with Burnside Hospital, Lyell McEwin Hospital, St Andrews, Royal Adelaide Hospital, Dermatology SA, Skin Plus Dermatology and Smart Dermatology. They also work with a number of charities that accept hair donations, such as AAAF’s Wigs for Kids and Variety Hair with Heart.

Your hair loss replacement journey starts with a private consultation in their Prospect salon, where they’ll get to know you and your circumstances to find the right hair loss solution for you. Or, if you prefer, they also offer virtual consultations, which are popular with their customers who travel regularly or live interstate or overseas.

Danielle and her team have seen it all and would love to help you regain your confidence. You’re in safe, creative and caring hands at Beverly May Hair.
