History
Philip Kingsley coined the phrase 'bad hair day' and is the world's most respected authority on hair and scalp health. With over 55 years of Trichological experience, Philip Kingsley's past and present clientele include politcians, royalty and celebrities. Called the 'Hair Doctor' by the Sunday Times and the 'Hair Guru' by the New York Times, Philip has written many publications on both sides of the Atlantic. Philip has recognized the need to bridge the gap between science and hairdressing as well as providing solutions for the most extreme hair and scalp problems, and those who just want the best from their hair. The first Trichological Clinic was opened in Mayfair, London in 1960. In response to demand for the service in America, the New York Trichological Centre opened in New York in 1977. Many of the staff who started working with him as juniors are still with him today.
