Haircutter for post-partum hair loss

Sept 2006

I had discouragingly thin, straight hair before I had my kids, but now that I'm having post-pregnancy hair shedding, it's just *ludicrously* skimpy. If you've had this problem and found a haircutter who gave you a straightforward haircut that helped camouflage the problem, please tell me about them, either directly or to the list. I'm not feeling horrible about it, so I don't need someone who will do a lot of handholding; if the look of the thinness can be improved by a different haircut, the haircutter doesn't have to have a really sympathetic personality . Thanks!

I think I've posted about her before, but I've been going to Annette at Peter Thomas Hair Salon (N. Berkeley -- on Shattuck and Virginia) for years now. I have very fine hair, and, like you, it got much skimpier after the kids came out. I like Annette because she, too, has very thin hair, so she really relates. Most importantly, she knows how to give a good cut, and incidentally which products can help add some volume! Christine

Katherine Sawyer at the Right Angle off College Ave is great with fine hair. After my baby she created these cute bangs with the sparse short hair that had started to grow back. She has fine hair herself so she knows what looks good. Appointments are scheduled through her SF salon Dava Dava: 415-776-4610 Kari

Hi -- I did not see your original post but the words ''post- partum hair loss'' caught my eye. Boy, do I know that problem! Anyway, I highly recommend Erin at Any Body Salon on Grand Avenue just south of MacArthur Blvd. Her cell phone number is 510-325-4687. Good luck! Empathetic Mom
