World-Class Hair Loss Expertise, Right Here in Sussex
At Sussex Hair Clinic, we bridge the gap between medical dermatology and cosmetic hairdressing. We understand that hair loss is not merely a cosmetic issue—it is often a complex reflection of your internal health and emotional well-being.
Founded in 2010, our clinic was established with a singular mission: to bring the high-level diagnostic expertise typically found in London’s elite clinics directly to patients in Sussex, Surrey, and Kent. We provide a private, compassionate space where you are listened to, understood, and treated with clinical precision.
Meet Your Specialist: Shuna Hammocks (MIT)
Consultant Trichologist & Clinic Director
Your hair health is in safe hands. Shuna Hammocks is not just a hair specialist; she is a veteran of the industry with over 24 years of clinical experience.
A Legacy of Excellence
Shuna’s career began in 1999 at the world-renowned Philip Kingsley Clinic in London. Starting in the laboratory, she gained a rare, hands-on understanding of the chemistry behind effective treatments before moving into clinical practice.
Her expertise was forged under the direct mentorship of two of the trichology world’s most respected figures: Philip Kingsley himself and Glenn Lyons (Past Chairman of The Institute of Trichologists). This elite background ensures that Sussex Hair Clinic patients receive a level of care and diagnostic accuracy that is hard to find elsewhere.
“I know how deeply hair loss affects confidence. My goal is not just to treat your scalp, but to give you the answers and support you need to feel like yourself again.”

Why You Need a Specialist (Not Just a GP)
Many of our patients come to us after feeling dismissed by general practitioners or overwhelmed by internet advice.
While GPs are vital for general health, they often lack the time or specific training to investigate the nuances of hair loss. Conversely, hairdressers are experts in styling, but not in the biology of the follicle.
As a dedicated Trichology clinic, we offer:
- Time: Consultations that go deep into your history, not a 10-minute slot.
- Tools: Microscopic analysis to see what is happening at the scalp level.
- Focus: We treat hair and scalp conditions exclusively, every single day.
Our Philosophy: The Holistic Detective
We believe that to fix the hair, you must understand the human.
Hair is a barometer of your health; when the body is under stress—nutritionally, hormonally, or emotionally—hair is often the first thing to suffer.
We do not believe in "one-size-fits-all" magic cures. Instead, we use a Holistic Diagnostic Approach:
- Medical History: We review medications, illnesses, and genetic factors.
- Lifestyle & Nutrition: Diet and daily habits play a massive role in hair growth.
- Emotional Wellbeing: Stress is a major trigger for shedding; we address this head-on.
- Scientific Analysis: We combine this data with physical examination to find the root cause.
Whether your hair loss is the cause of your stress or the result of it, we create a plan that supports your whole body, not just your follicles.
