Since 2019, over 400 Irish salons have trained with Aileen
Watch Aileen explain what the training covers, and how salons across Ireland are using it to build a hair loss clinic that clients travel for.
T-Parting
Ideal for a client with hair thinning. Three shapes, a full range of colours, taped or clipped depending on the degree of thinning and the client's lifestyle. You will learn purchasing, fitting, pricing and styling for every topper and T-Parting.
Secret Spot
Ideal for frontal alopecia, which is often caused by autoimmune disease. Secret spots come in one size, and you will learn to mould and customise pieces to cover larger areas, then cut and style them. HSE and NHS funding is available for these fittings.
Gent's Top Extension
More men are presenting with hair loss every year, and a gents' service is a must. Pieces are glued or taped depending on lifestyle, moulded and cut to fit perfectly. Glue on pieces last four to six weeks, and clients can swim and train as normal.
Your clients can access up to €770 a year
There are two routes to funding, and a trained salon can guide clients through both. Under the PRSI Treatment Benefit Scheme, eligible clients receive up to €500 a year toward a hair replacement item. Clients can also claim the HSE wig allowance, worth up to €770 a year.
For cancer related hair loss there is no medical card requirement, only a letter from the treating doctor. For alopecia and other qualifying conditions the client claims through their medical card, and the amount is set regionally.
Knowing how to walk a client through that funding is what turns a nervous enquiry into a booking. It is covered in full inside the training.

“I first met Aileen about 5 years ago when she came to my salon to educate us. Product sales went up immediately. I then attended her hair loss training, the best decision I’ve ever made. I now run a very successful hair loss clinic. Training with Aileen is an investment and I promise you will not be disappointed.”
