TLC is dedicated to the management of hair loss and scalp disorders. It is owned and operated by Katherine Vidler AIT who has been in practice since 2019 when she qualified as an Associate Member of the Institute of Trichologists. Her years of study were complemented by mentoring by the late Robert Olding FIT FTTS of The Wimpole Clinic. Upon his retirement, she was entrusted to take on his private practice, incorporating it into TLC.
Katherine's passion for helping those with hair or scalp disorders is borne out of having a personal journey with hair loss and a problematic scalp. At first, she struggled to find help from health professionals and didn’t know where to turn until she discovered trichology. She is now determined to use her experience to help others and does so with genuine understanding – without costing the earth.
Trichology means the study of hair and is a mix of Greek and Latin. There are two qualifying bodies in the UK: The Institute of Trichologists, who Katherine is registered with, and The Trichological Society. Both require a considerable degree of expertise and experience as well as sensible, ethical practice from members. Please do your research and don't entrust your hair or money to an unqualified practitioner.
