Nicola has been recognised as an inspiring individual for her work in the hair loss industry. Work which has seen her and team help thousands of people struggling with hair loss and alopecia.
“I feel so very honoured to be representing the hair loss community on this incredible occasion. Following my own diagnosis, I know the positive difference and confidence our services are able to give back to women. This is an incredible opportunity to represent and have our business recognised, one which has already helped so many women with medical hair loss and alopecia, and one that is committed to helping many more.”
