LOGAN WELLBEING: HELPING BATTLE ENDOMETRIOSIS

Logan Wellbeing and Medical

Everyday in Logan, we meet numerous women who are struggling with endometriosis. Endometriosis is a condition that is thought to affect 200 million women worldwide, however the very painful, even debilitating side effects are often hidden and can take up to seven years to get a diagnosis.

At Logan, we are passionate about helping women with endometriosis. There is currently no cure for endometriosis, but we have seen really promising benefi ts through our bespoke treatment plans, including IV infusions and pelvic realignment treatments. We want to educate and empower women so they can live with the condition and are not forced to choose between debilitating suffering or surgery. We will devise a protocol for you, teach you self-care so you can treat yourself at home, and also give you advice on diet to manage your symptoms.

An initial consultation with Ruth-Ellen costs £180, and a 6-week treatment plan starts at £350.

MY

DR PAMELA MCHENRY

Medical Director at Belfast Skin Clinic

1. What do you love most about your job?

The impact of skin diseases on quality of life is hugely underestimated. I love to see the change in demeanour and confi dence of my patients and their families when their skin condition improves.

2. What has been your career highlight to date?

I wanted to become a dermatologist from my early days as a medical student, so my fi rst career highlight was being appointed a Consultant Dermatologist. After fi ve years of medical school, this required three years of general medical training and seven years of dermatology training. I was privileged to train and work with Professor Rona Mackie in Glasgow, who was renowned worldwide for her research on melanoma, and during this time I was awarded an MD for my thesis on Skin Cancer in the Elderly. Another highlight was being appointed President of the British Society of Paediatric Dermatology. My most recent career highlight was fulfi lling my vision of opening my own clinic dedicated to providing a closely integrated environment for all specialists involved in skin care.

3. What are your favourite hobbies/ activities outside of work?

Pre-COVID, I loved to travel with my family. Having grown up on a farm, I love being outdoors and going for long walks or cycles.

4. What is your daily routine?

I start the day with my list of to dos and usually have a number of things done before heading to work. Every day is diff erent and work varies depending on clinics, procedures and staff meetings. I like to be home in time for us to have a family dinner together.

5. Do you have a fi tness regime? I walk regularly, cycle and do yoga.

6. Do you have any tips for staying positive during this time?

I am very aware of the impact the COVID crisis has had on mental health, as the impact of stress often exacerbates skin conditions. A lot of people are really struggling. In general I think regular exercise, good sleep pattern, healthy eating, and limiting screentime can help. Talking to somone also helps, don’t wait for people to contact you, there is always someone ready to listen.

7. What do you think is the best thing about living in Northern Ireland?

The best thing for me is the people, particularly family and friends, who provide a great support network.

8. What is your mantra or favourite quote that you live by?

Never give up! “If at fi rst you don’t succeed, try, try and try again” – Robert the Bruce.

9. Who has been your biggest infl uence?

My parents from whom I learnt to “plough my own furrow” and my husband who is a great motivator.

LUXURY CARE FOR YOUR HAIR DESIGNED WITH KINDNESS IN MIND

Ulster Tatler chats to Charlene Hawthorne, owner of Haus of Hair.

“I have been in hairdressing for 15 years, I fi rst started training at SRC and then I worked at Scissors salon in Newry, before moving to Brighton where I managed a busy salon for four years. Here I had the opportunity to style hair for some local celebrities and style photoshoots, including being part of the Heart FM launch.

Upon returning home, I opened my own salon and ran it successfully for six years, with my work being regularly featured in Ulster Tatler and Ulster Bride, and I was delighted to be the head stylist at the Ulster Bride fashion shows.

When I got married and had my fi rst child I struggled with the work/life balance, so decided to take a step back from running a business and rented a chair at a salon instead. Three years later, and one more child later I decided to take the leap back into running a business, and Haus of Hair was born.

I focussed heavily on education, becaming an Easilocks ambassador and hair extension specialist. At Haus of Hair we pride ourselves in continued educationand skill. We are colour and extension specialists and have an amazing highly talented team, who are also barista trained – so not only do you get to absorb our bubbly atmosphere, but we will make you the best cappuccino or latte you have ever tasted. We aim to build a bond with our clients through consultation, understanding, professionalism and a touch of humour.

Our salon has a very chilled and relaxed vibe, which puts our clients at ease. Our expert team are trained in our retail range, and prescribe the correct aftercare for any hair or scalp type. We believe in an authentic approach, holding the integrity of our salon at a high standard, so we will only stock products that we truly believe will work for our clients.

We are counting down the days to our return to work! I spent the fi rst month of lockdown wallowing in self pity, then one morning I decided enough was enough, I needed a new project – so I decided to get my teaching qualifi cation. I also completed the most diffi cult course to date, the Alfaparf masters degree in chemicals and colour, fi nishing top in my class.

Thoughts of launching my own brand had been brewing in my mind and this gave me the confi dence boost I needed. I found a new passion and worked day and night researching our range of products.

Our range includes; the Haus waver dress out comb, which is designed to comb and dress out curls to give you beautiful waves.

We have our machine washable OMG headbands, designed to keep hair out of your face during your skincare routine, makeup application or tanning.

My next project was my 100% mulbury silk scrunchies. After researching the benefi ts of silk these weere born from a need to be able to safely tie up hair extensions securely and tightly. Our hair extensions can range from 450-£600 so only the best should be used to protect them. We have a strong, durable antisnap hair tie wrapped in 22mom silk. Not only are they hypoallergenic, they are the anti-snap, anti-kink and can be used in all

Our website was launched in December and we are in the top 16% of websites that launched in the same week as us.

hair types to prevent damage from tying your hair up.

I seen the need for a universal brush, so the detangler was born. It can be used wet or dry, and used to blowdry. With the antisnag design you can brush hair extensions root to tip without pulling or causing damage. It has both intelli-fl ex bristles covered in poly tips, which is proven not to damage hair and within those we have shorter boar bristles, which is the gold standard in distribution of products throughout your hair. It’s my favourite item from the collection and I use it daily – it effortlessly glides through long hair and detangles with ease.

We also launched our CREASLESS clips collection, which comes as a pack of 5 clips, used to pin hair back or create waves and mould hair into shape without causing kinks/dints or lines.

Our most recent product to arrive is our scalp massager, this is a game changer for washing your hair! Perfectly moulded to sit in your palm, this scalp massager uses gentle silicone tips to stimulate the follicles on the scalp by boosting blood circulation, encouraging all the nutrients to rush to the surface. And the more nutrients available, the more your hair will grow and the healthier it will become! The massaging movement also helps dislodge stubborn product build-up, grease and sweat so you can feel confi dent your scalp will be sparkly clean when you step out of the shower.

Our biggest product yet is to be launched mid-April, our pro curler – the easiest way to curl your hair.

Compact and easy to carry, it easily fi ts in your handbag to use it anytime and anywhere. The Haus of hair pro curl comes with a micro USB cable to easily plug it to your laptop or your car to achieve perfect curls on the go.

Although I can’t wait to be back behind the chair in a busy salon I am greatful for the time lockdown has given be to develop my thoughts and ideas. It took having to stop and adapt, but I’ve fi nally got around to having the time to do all the things I wanted to do!
