My name is Laurel Stoughton. I am a certified Trichologist (2025) and licensed Cosmetologist since 2001, with two years as a Cosmetology Instructor.

My love for Trichology began years ago when dealing with scalp issues related to hormonal shifts. More recently, a hysterectomy and life-threatening infection lead to worsened scalp issues and hair thinning.

Since returning to work behind the chair, I have noticed an increased amount of scalp disorders and hair thinning in my clients. I didn’t have the right tools to address their concerns: What were the right questions to ask? Where could I find credible sources for answers? Inspired by a friend and former colleague’s success in helping her clients through clinical Trichology practices, I enrolled in a certification program and began working one-on-one with my clients to help find solutions to their hair and scalp concerns.

Because of my love for learning and further understanding of underlying causes of hair loss and scalp conditions, I recently enrolled in a nutrition program as well as a sleep, recovery, and stress management course to help my clients get to the root of their conditions.

If you are unsure about which services might benefit you, please email me at valleygirlhairsalida@gmail.com to find the right option for you.

I’m looking forward to helping you on your scalp and hair health journey!
