About — Restore Hair Durango

Welcome To My Journey

Hello and Welcome!
My name is Sharon Hilmes and I’m SO glad you’re here! I am a licensed cosmetologist of 34 years, a salon owner, and most recently attended United States Trichology Institute and became certified as an Associate Trichologist, Hair Loss Practitioner and am certified with AMCA(American MedicalCertification Association)
A Trichologist , Associate Trichologist or Hair Loss Practitioner is someone who has studied and earned certification in Trichology. Trichology is the para-medical science of the hair, scalp problems, hair thinning and balding. It is often referred to as the bridge between cosmetology and dermatology.
After going through my own personal battle with hair loss, I understand how frightening this can be. I remember dreading shampooing my hair because that’s when I would really see how much hair I was loosing on a daily basis. I would clean the hair out of the bottom of the shower and feel so anxious because I was afraid I would soon be bald. As a hairstylist that was devastating to think about because I was thinking “who would want to come to a bald stylist that couldn’t fix her own hair problem ? “ I didn’t know why I was loosing so much hair, but I knew it was not normal and I desperately wanted it to stop! I was ready to do whatever I needed to to figure it out and start regaining my confidence.
My primary care physician ordered the necessary bloodwork to figure out what was going on and I was diagnosed with Hashimotos Thyroiditis.
This is caused by a reaction of the immune system against the thyroid gland, resulting in reduced thyroid function (hypothyroidism). Once I knew why I was loosing hair, I was able to manage my diagnosis and work on gaining better health by supporting my thyroid through medication and healthier lifestyle choices which I realize will be a lifelong journey.
My hair loss stopped and I was able to regain most of what was lost. I am no longer self conscious about my hair, and it has become my passion to help others feel the same way.
I have taken what I’ve learned in my study of Trichology and created a multi-therapeutic approach to hair restoration using technology which includes a healthy scalp regimen , topical solutions, LLLT (low level laser therapy) and a whole body wellness program targeting the main causes of hair loss which I have implemented on myself and gained fuller and healthier hair.
These customized programs are safe and effective. Together, we will discuss nutrition as it relates to hair loss and scalp problems and customize a program for YOU and your lifestyle.
If you would like to connect for a consultation either in office or virtual, I would love to get you started on your journey to achieving your hair goals and feeling confident once again.

She is excellent at helping you find the best products to treat every problem with hair and skin. She is very knowledgeable and cares deeply about the work she does. I couldn’t give her a higher recommendation!

I am a 76 year old female with thinning hair. I started treatments with Sharon in February 2021. My treatment plan consisted of Low Level Laser Therapy, topical serums and supplements for 6 months. My hair was thinning and the strands were noticeably finer and would not hold curl. About 2 months into the program I noticed a change in the texture of my hair and the curl held longer than it did before the treatments, I could see new hairs at the hairline and by the fourth and fifth month they were noticibly growing longer. I continue using the supplements and topical serums but since I have moved out of Durango and haven’t taken any laser treatments. I would definitely suggest to keep upn with the laser treatments until you see substantial growth. I know Sharon will advise you on how long you should continue treatment. I would definitely recommend this program

I have worked with Sharon for the past few years and have learned so much from her about the importance of using naturally based personal care products and how products with harsh and toxic chemicals can lead to things like inflammation, skin issues, and even hair loss, which I was dealing with when I first started working with her.

I was the first of Sharon’s clients to sign up for her hair restoration programs. I knew I would be moving mid-summer, so I signed up for the six-month program utilizing Low-Level Laser Therapy and topical Growth Factors instead of the recommended 1-year program. Nonetheless, my results were fantastic. I began with Female Pattern Hair loss, and within a month, I was starting to see the new hair growth; by the end of the six months, my thinning areas had filled in.

Sharon was extremely accommodating in scheduling my twice-a-week treatments, and I couldn’t be happier with the process and my results. I highly recommend Sharon’s programs.
