More Than a Wig Shop: The Strut Difference

A 360° Approach to Hair Loss Solutions and Scalp / Hair Health

At Strut Hair Solutions, we’re redefining what it means to care for your scalp and hair. While many know us as a destination for high-quality, premium wigs, the truth is—we are so much more than a “just” wig shop, though that is our primary product and service. 

We are a 360 hair and wellness destination, offering innovative solutions designed to meet you exactly where you are in your hair journey. Whether you’re looking for added volume, length, full coverage, or a complete transformation, our approach is personalized, elevated, and rooted in both aesthetics and scalp/hair health.

Did you know we offer Semi-Custom Wigs and Hair Toppers… Manufactured just for YOU in 8-12 weeks?

One of our biggest differentiators from other “wig stores” is our semi-custom hair pieces—a perfect blend of luxury hair and personalization that is uniquely you.

These pieces are ideal for clients who want something more tailored than off-the-shelf options, without the extended timeline or investment of a fully custom unit. With semi-custom, you can choose:

  • Petite or Large  cap sizing  
  •  Longer lengths up to 24”
  • Customized color blending – to match your hair color exactly

Starting at just an additional $750+ to the regular price of the hair, these pieces are crafted with premium luxury hair and delivered within 8–12 weeks, giving you a refined, natural look that feels uniquely yours.

Halo Couture Instant Transformation – Cult Classic

For those seeking instant results, our halo extensions are a game-changer.

We offer Ready-to-wear halo couture hair  extensions (available now, while supplies last) 

They have merged with another company as of April 1st, so we are unsure of the hair quality and look once the original product is gone. 

Our Strut Signature Halo Extensions

Our own private line are perfect for adding volume and length without commitment, making them ideal for everyday wear or special occasions. Lightweight, comfortable, and easy to apply, they’re one of the simplest ways to elevate your look instantly.

Strut is Rooted in Scalp Health

Did you know our founder, Helena Gibson, is a Tricologist? It is an accredited program of deep study of the scalp and hair. 

Healthy hair starts at the scalp—and we take that seriously.

Our scalp facials with Hydrafacial treatments are designed to:

  • Remove buildup and detox the scalp – when was the last time you exfoliated your scalp?
  • Stimulate circulation and support growth – when you have oxygen and blood bringing nutrients to your scalp, your hair grows.
  • Restore balance and reduce inflammation
  • Restoring your scalp microbiome – which serves to keep your scalp calm and hydrated, reducing itching, dandruff, and acts as a natural barrier against harmful bacteria and irritation.

These treatments go beyond surface-level care, creating the ideal environment for stronger and healthier hair from the root.

Wellness From the Inside Out

Your GUT Matters When it Comes to Your Hair! 

At Strut, we believe we are more than “just a wig shop” and a 360 holistic partner with you on your hair journey. That’s why we’ve expanded into wellness teas, crafted to support hair health from within. Our founder was not satisfied with the topical solutions and hair cover-ups and wanted to get to the “root cause” of stress and nutrition-deficient hair loss by becoming a “Master Herbalist” and Certified by the Board of Drugless Practitioners. Her unique custom tea blends get to the root cause of hair shedding. 

Here are a few of our blends that target specific symptoms and feelings that you can enjoy:

You’re Not the Only Thing That’s Heated – Stress Relief

This is Your Sign to Let It All Out – Detox and Cleanse

Sippin On Snooze Control – Sleep Support

Sweet Without the Sugar – Sugar Craving/Balance

Rooting for You, Mama – Postpartum Hair Health

 

Some fun facts about our hand-batched blends are:

  • Made with whole, organic herbs 
  • Designed to support gut health, reduce stress, and improve hair vitality 
  • All 100% caffeine-free 

Because true transformation isn’t just about masking the issue—it’s about how you nourish your body, too.

Unveil Wellness Tea's - Detox and cleanse tea

More Than Hair—It’s Confidence

Everything we do here at Strut Hair Solutions is rooted in one goal: helping you feel confident and empowered, so you can show up as your best self! 

From semi-custom pieces, halo extensions, scalp treatments, to wellness rituals—we’re here to support your hair journey in a way that feels elevated, intentional, and completely personalized.

Because at Strut, you walk in and “Strut Out.”

Reflect the 2025 year with Strut

Let’s Reflect the 2025 Year: Celebrating Growth, Awards & Hair Health at Strut

As we reflect on 2025, we’re filled with gratitude for a year marked by growth, recognition, and connection. From industry awards and exciting service launches to celebrating our team and community, this year reinforced why Strut exists. To support hair health, restore confidence, and help every client strut through life feeling empowered.

A Year of Leadership & Industry Recognition

In 2025, Strut proudly celebrated major milestones in leadership and professional recognition within the hair restoration and wellness industry.

Our CEO, Helena Gibson, Board Certified Drugless Practitioner and Trichologist, was honored as a San Diego Icon by Modern Luxury Magazine. A recognition that highlights her commitment to education, ethical hair loss solutions, and client-centered care.

Helena was also named a finalist for San Diego Business Journal’s Business Women of the Year, received the CEO Leader of Influence Award from the County of San Diego, and won the Trade + Craft “Pioneer” Award at San Diego Magazine’s Celebrating Women Summit. These honors reflect not only leadership but also innovation in scalp health, trichology, and confidence restoration.

To top it off, Strut was named Best Wig Shop in Modern Luxury San Diego’s Best of the City, an award that belongs to our entire community.

Our New Location in Cardiff-by-the-Sea

One of the biggest milestones of 2025 was the grand opening of our new Strut location in Cardiff-by-the-Sea. This move marked a new chapter for our business and allowed us to create a space intentionally designed for comfort, privacy, and transformation.

Our Cardiff location reflects our belief that hair restoration, wig services, and scalp treatments should feel luxurious, safe, and empowering — from the moment you walk in the door.

Expanding Our Hair & Scalp Health Services

This year, we expanded our services by adding the Scalp Detox & Cleanse with a Boost to our list of services! A revitalizing scalp treatment designed to deeply cleanse, nourish, and restore the scalp.

Healthy hair starts at the scalp, and this service supports fuller, healthier hair by removing buildup, stimulating circulation, and creating the optimal environment for growth. This treatment quickly became a favorite for clients focused on long-term hair health and prevention.

Celebrating the Heart of Strut: Our Team

Behind every transformation is a dedicated team. In 2025, we proudly celebrated Marisol’s 4th anniversary with Strut. Her creativity, craftsmanship, and care for our clients embody everything Strut stands for, and we are beyond grateful to have her on our team.

We also embraced moments of joy and connection throughout the year — from a playful Halloween celebration in the salon to our end-of-year holiday party filled with great food, laughter, and karaoke. These moments remind us that community is at the core of everything we do.

Thank You for Trusting Us With Your Hair Health Journey

As we reflect, we have found that 2025 was so meaningful because of you. Every client who trusted us with their hair loss concerns, wig fittings, scalp health, or confidence journey made this year truly special.

We are endlessly grateful to be part of rebuilding confidence, restoring hair health, and supporting you as you show up and strut through life.

Looking Ahead to 2026

This year was truly special, filled with so many meaningful moments, both behind the scenes and alongside our incredible community. We are endlessly grateful to every one of you who trusted us with your hair health journey and allowed us to be a part of rebuilding your confidence.

Being able to support YOU as you show up and strut through life means more to us than words can express.

As we step into 2026, our hearts are full, and we’re so excited for what’s ahead. Thank you for being such an important part of our story. We can’t wait to continue this journey together.

With much love,
The Strut Team

Hair Loss Awareness Month: Causes, Solutions & Support for Women in August 2025

Hair Loss Awareness Month Wigs Near Me

August 2025: National Hair Loss Awareness Month

From All of Us at Strut Hair Solutions

August is National Hair Loss Awareness Month – a time to raise awareness, share real stories, and remind anyone experiencing hair loss: you are not alone.

Recognized by the Society of Dermatology Nurse Practitioners, this month shines a light on an issue that affects millions but often goes unspoken. At Strut Hair Solutions, we’ve spent more than 24 years helping people feel confident again through expert care, personalized solutions, and compassionate service.

Hair loss awareness isn’t just about talking – it’s about support, action, and hope.

Why Hair Loss Awareness Matters

  • It’s more common than you think. Over 80 million Americans experience hair loss. It affects all ages and genders…not just men. In fact, 40% of those affected are women. 
  • It impacts more than appearance. Hair loss can deeply affect self-esteem, confidence, and mental health. 
  • Understanding the causes of hair loss. From stress and hormonal changes to styling habits and medical treatments, hair loss can happen to anyone. You may not even realize someone you know is going through it. Raising awareness helps create understanding, compassion, and support for those facing this often difficult journey. 

At-Home Tips to Support Healthy Hair

Small, consistent changes can help protect and strengthen your hair:

  1. Feed your follicles. Eat a nutrient-rich diet with protein, iron, zinc, and omega-3s to reduce shedding and improve scalp health. Or try our No. 5 Hair Nutrition Supplements, a proprietary blend designed to support hair, scalp, and anti-aging goals. 
  2. Manage stress. Stress-related hair loss (like telogen effluvium) is real. Incorporate daily breathwork, meditation, or use our No. 0 Scalp Renewal Brush for a relaxing scalp massage. 
  3. Be gentle. Avoid tight hairstyles, excessive heat styling, and over-washing. Choose clean, hydrating hair products to keep your scalp nourished. And at night, try Unveil Dreamscape Sleep Bundle, which includes products designed to minimize damage and preserve your hairstyle overnight. 
  4. Care for your scalp. A healthy scalp is the foundation for healthy hair. Our HydraFacial Keravive Scalp Detox & Cleanse deeply cleanses and revitalizes, while our Essentials Kit helps maintain results between appointments.

How Strut Hair Solutions Supports You

At Strut Hair Solutions, we’re more than a wig store, we’re your partner in hair loss solutions and confidence restoration!

  4. Customization Included: We’ll thin and trim your new piece for a perfect fit—a $375 value included in your session (note: this is not a haircut).

Embrace Your Hair Journey: Celebrating Hair Loss Prevention Month

/in , , , , , , , , /by

Helena here, channeling my inner Tyra Banks, and I am beyond excited to talk about something super close to my heart: Hair Loss Prevention Month💖 Yes, you heard that right! This month is all about embracing our hair journeys, raising awareness about hair loss, and sharing tips to keep those gorgeous locks healthy and strong. So, let’s dive right in!

 

The Emotional Impact of Hair Loss

First things first, let’s address the elephant in the room. Hair loss isn’t just about what’s happening on top of your head. It can deeply affect your emotional well-being, too. Many women experience anxiety, depression, and a hit to their self-esteem when dealing with hair loss. It’s so important to remember that you are not alone, and there’s no shame in seeking help. 🌸

Did you know that Tyra Banks herself has struggled with hair loss? Yes, even the fiercest supermodels can face this challenge. Tyra has openly talked about experiencing alopecia due to stress, which makes her even more passionate about raising awareness and supporting those on their hair journey.

Tips to Prevent Hair Loss

Now, let’s get into some fabulous tips to help prevent hair loss and keep your hair looking fierce!

  1. Healthy Diet = Healthy Hair Your hair reflects what you eat. Make sure your diet includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Foods rich in vitamins A, C, D, and E, zinc, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids are essential for hair health.
  2. Be Gentle with Your Hair Treat your hair with love! Avoid excessive brushing, especially when it’s wet. Use a wide-tooth comb and be gentle to prevent breakage.
  3. Limit Heat Styling I know, I know! We all love our blow dryers, straighteners, and curling irons, but too much heat can damage your hair. Try to limit heat styling and always use a heat protectant spray.
  4. Scalp Care is Key A healthy scalp is the foundation of healthy hair. Regular scalp massages can boost blood circulation and promote hair growth. Also, make sure to keep your scalp clean and moisturized.
  5. Avoid Tight Hairstyles Constantly pulling your hair back tightly can cause stress and lead to hair loss. Opt for looser styles and give your hair a break from tight ponytails and buns.
  6. Regular Trims Regular trims can prevent split ends and keep your hair looking healthy. Aim for a trim every 6-8 weeks.

The Power of Support

Remember, you don’t have to go through this alone. Whether you’re dealing with hair loss or just looking to keep your hair healthy, there’s a community out there ready to support you. At Strut Hair Solutions, we’re here to help you feel confident and beautiful every step of the way.

Join the Movement

This Hair Loss Prevention Month, let’s stand together and support each other. Share your hair journey, tips, and stories with the hashtag #HairLossAwareness. Let’s empower each other and celebrate our beautiful, unique hair!

Stay fierce and fabulous,

Helena

– Easy to Use: Toppers are easy to apply and blend naturally with your own hair, making them a convenient choice for your wedding day.

– Variety of Styles: Available in various lengths, colors, and textures, our toppers can match your natural hair and desired look perfectly.
