Hair Loss Pride:

Support, guidance, and confidence for women with hair loss - from someone who’s lived it.

Hi, I’m Tami.

My hair started thinning when I was 15, and for years I hid it because I felt embarrassed and alone. Back then, there were no communities, no role models, and definitely no one talking openly about female hair loss. I spent two decades trying to “manage” it while building a career in healthcare and biotech, all while quietly losing pieces of my confidence.

Everything changed when I finally embraced wigs in my early 30s. I looked in the mirror and saw myself again. That moment sparked my mission: to make sure no woman or teen feels as alone as I once did. Since then, I’ve written Hair Pride, managed a wig store supporting hundreds of clients, and had countless conversations that reminded me just how emotional and isolating hair loss can be. It’s not superficial. It’s identity.

That’s why I created Hair Loss Pride: a coaching and support community for anyone navigating hair loss, whether you’re newly thinning or fully in your alternative-hair era. We keep it real. We drop the shame. And we build confidence from the inside out.

Here’s how I can support you:

  • 1:1 coaching to help you navigate the emotional side of hair loss

  • Personalized wig consultations so you feel confident choosing the right piece

  • A supportive community where you don’t have to explain yourself or “qualify” to belong

If you feel isolated or overwhelmed, you’re not alone. You’re not too much or not enough. You’re already worthy, with or without hair. If you’re ready to feel confident again, I’m here to walk with you. Let’s talk.

Client Love

  • “Tami recently educated hairstylists on all things hair loss at Suki's Salons and Academy for our charity night events. Her presentation was incredibly inspiring and educational even as well-versed stylists. Not only is Tami incredibly well spoken and a great presenter; she also is wonderful to work with. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn more about hair loss, educate their salon team, inspire those around them, give a platform to those with a mission, or find support and answers for themselves. I cannot speak highly enough about Tami."

    Kerrigan, Suki’s Salons Stylist

  • “ As a stylist of over 20 years, I learned so much from your presentation. I am shocked that us stylists aren't taught 99% of what you presented to us in hair school. I have many clients who suffer with hair loss and I feel more empowered to help them along their confidence journey because of you. Thank you Tami!"

    Christa, Stylist

  • “Thank you for a great presentation- it was a pleasure to meet and learn from you. Bring this curriculum to the salon world!”

  • You are changing the world and NEVER change who you are or what you stand for because if you have made such a difference in my life, I can only imagine the difference you will make in others."

    K, Support Group Client

  • You are such a special person. Thank you for opening up your heart and giving me your time and thoughts. I can honestly say I feel heard, I feel seen... and validated."

    L, Wig Consultation Client

  • "I am grateful for you. You don't know how much it helps to talk to a live person who gets it. I love how I can ask you anything and all your answers actually help me to hear! You are helping so many women and bringing light to their days."
