THREE ROUTES, CHOSEN IN PERSON
Not from a screen.
The right piece depends on fit, density, hairline, lifestyle and budget. The consultation is where the options become clear.
Ready-made
Beautifully finished pieces from established makers, colour-matched and personalised in-house. The most immediate route when a bespoke lead time is not practical.
Customised
A quality base piece re-worked to your hairline, density and colour: a considered middle path between speed and personal fit.
Fully bespoke
Foundation, hairline and parting drafted to your measurements, with hair specified and ventilated where the piece needs to disappear against skin.
THE CRAFT
The construction is chosen for the person.
Believable hairline and considered parting
Fine lace and carefully chosen mono, silk or scalp-effect constructions help the front and parting sit naturally in daylight.
Natural density and nuanced colour
Density is calibrated to the person, while colour is matched in natural light with the variation real hair carries.
Construction and secure fit for real life
Hand-tied, wefted, hybrid or mesh construction is selected around scalp, comfort, activity, lifestyle and budget.
Personal finishing and ongoing aftercare
Each piece is cut and styled on the client, with adjustments, maintenance and support available beyond fitting.
CRAFTSMANSHIP
Made to disappear into real life.
Fully bespoke work uses fine lace and carefully chosen mono, silk or scalp-effect construction where the front and parting need to look natural in daylight. Colour is matched against the client’s own hair in natural light, with density and finishing calibrated to the person rather than to a mannequin. The right recommendation is the one that suits the scalp, hairline, daily routine and budget—and Sarah will say when a piece is not the right fit.
MEET SARAH
Precise, technical and quietly held.
Sarah works from her Matlock atelier with women, men and children experiencing medical hair loss, alopecia, thinning and long-term change. Every recommendation begins with the person: their scalp, hairline, lifestyle, comfort and budget. If a piece is not right for you, Sarah will tell you.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
Before you visit.
Will it look like my own hair?
Fully bespoke pieces are built around your hairline, density, colour and scalp. Ready-made and customised pieces are personalised in-house until they sit correctly on you.
How is privacy handled?
Appointments are held one-to-one at the studio. You will not be introduced or photographed, and nothing you share is used for marketing without consent.
Can I bring someone with me?
Yes. A partner, parent, friend or member of your medical team is welcome at an appointment.
Do I need to know what I want?
No. Most clients arrive unsure. The consultation is where the options become clear, in person and without pressure.
The next step is a conversation, in person.
One hour at the Matlock atelier. Discreet, unhurried and without obligation.
