I started my journey in hairdressing, where very early on in my career I was fortunate enough to work alongside an extremely talented stylist who was also hugely knowledgeable when it came to hair and scalp health. It was then that my interest in Trichology was sparked. After many years of seeing people struggle with hair and scalp problems in my day- to- day work, I realised that there was nowhere for them to get help. I really wanted to help them get the answers, support and treatments they needed.
I set up the Katrina Horman Trichology Clinic in 2019 after graduating from the Institute of Trichologists with whom I am now an associate member. I continue to attend regular seminars and events to ensure I keep up to date with the very latest research developments and treatments.

I am married and blessed with two children, so life is pretty busy. When I’m not working in the clinic or running around after my family, I try to take some me time by going to the gym and walking. I love cooking, coffee and catching up with friends.
I really look forward to helping you.
The initial consultation is very thorough and usually takes between 1 – 1.5 hrs. I will take the time to really listen to your concerns, discuss your health, lifestyle, nutrition, family history and hair care regime. I will carry out a gentle but in-depth examination of your hair and scalp, including the use of a digital trichoscope to assist me in arriving at a differential diagnosis. A treatment plan is then discussed, along with any referral that maybe needed such as to your GP, or other professionals like dermatologists, nutritionist. Sometimes I require blood tests to assist with my diagnosis.
I will always explain everything to you clearly and answer any questions that you may have. I often provide you with information leaflets to take home. After the consultation I will write to you summarising all that we have discussed, including any recommended treatment plans. I am always happy to answer any questions that may arise following your initial consultation. Should you embark on a treatment plan I recommend having a follow up consultation 3 – 4 months after your initial consultation, to monitor treatment effectiveness.
When it comes to hair and scalp problems there is no “one fits all” solution. Any advice or treatment plan is tailored specifically to you as an individual. There is no hard selling, or miracle cures on offer, just ethical, honest, reliable advice that you can trust.
All consultations are carried out in a private, comfortable setting at the Katrina Horman Trichology Clinic in St Helier. The consultation room is on the 1st floor and currently there is no lift access. Should you require disabled access please contact me directly.
