Fall in Love with Your Hair This Valentine’s Day with Strut’s New Wet Line💕

Valentine’s Day isn’t just about chocolates and roses… It’s about love in all forms. And this year, we’re inviting you to turn that love inward. Because when you care for your hair, you’re caring for YOU.

With Strut’s Wet Line – Essential Care System, loving your hair has never been easier (or more luxurious). We designed these lovely products specifically for human hair wigs, toppers, extensions, synthetic pieces, and even your natural hair! This system delivers hydration, protection, repair, and love exactly where it’s needed most.


💧 Hydrating Shampoo with UV Protection

Great hair always starts in the wash. Our Hydrating Shampoo is color-safe, keratin-safe, and gentle enough for daily use, but powerful enough to restore moisture, smooth texture, and improve manageability.

What makes it special?

  • Sunflower Seed Extract helps protect against UVA + UVB rays, preserving your color and vibrancy.
  • Coconut Milk forms a protective barrier around the hair shaft to help prevent breakage.
  • Rhodochrosite balances moisture levels, keeping strands soft and healthy.

Think of it as your first step in showing your hair a little extra love.


✨ Hydrating Barrier Support Conditioner

After cleansing, your hair deserves love & nourishment. This rich, treatment-based conditioner detangles, strengthens, and softens without causing buildup or leaving hair greasy.

  • Quinoa Protein strengthens and improves moisture retention.
  • Argan Oil adds shine while taming frizz and flyaways.
  • Hazelnut Oil helps protect against environmental stressors.

The result? Silky, smooth hydration that feels weightless and looks radiant. Perfect for all hair types.


🔬 Keratin Deep Conditioner – Protect & Repair

For the hair that needs a little extra TLC, our keratin-infused deep conditioner fortifies fragile, color-treated, and breakage-prone strands.

  • Keratin helps rebuild and strengthen.
  • Sunflower Oil provides shine and protection
  • Malachite restores moisture and resilience while protecting hair
  • Rhassoul Clay detoxifies while remaining gentle enough for finer textures.

Whether your hair is exposed to frequent heat styling, environmental stress, or color treatments, this mask delivers deep repair and renewed softness.


Made for Every Kind of Love

Each product in Strut’s Wet Line is thoughtfully designed for:

  • Human Hair Wigs
  • Human Hair Toppers
  • Human Hair Extensions
  • Synthetic Wigs
  • Synthetic Toppers
  • And your natural hair, too

Because no matter how you wear your hair, you deserve products that protect your investment and preserve your confidence.


Love Your Hair. Love Yourself.

Healthy hair is more than appearance… It’s empowerment. It’s that moment you look in the mirror and feel confident. It’s running your fingers through soft, hydrated strands. It’s knowing you’re caring for yourself from roots to ends.

This Valentine’s Day, skip the temporary gifts and invest in something lasting.

Give your hair the hydration. Give your strands the protection. Give yourself the love.

Because when your hair feels good, you feel unstoppable. 💕

Reflect the 2025 Year With Strut

2025 Year in Review: 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

Most importantly, 2025 was 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 for 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.

The Coast News Group | Local Strut Hair Solutions Founder Unveils Restorative Hair Care Solution

Local Strut Hair Solutions Founder Unveils Restorative Hair Care Solution

March 22, 2023

Helena Gibson founded Strut Hair Solutions 21 years ago to help women struggling with thinning hair, a mission that began with her mother. “Her scalp would sunburn if she was in the sun too long or she’d avoid dating and social events because of her hair,” Gibson recalls. “I knew other women must feel the same way.”

She identified a void in the market for women with genetic thinning, like her mother, temporary hair loss due to menopause or post-partum and/or medical hair loss caused by chemotherapy, alopecia, trichotillomania and other conditions.

Over the years, Strut Hair Solutions has helped thousands of women in need of more hair become their best selves!

 

Today, Strut Hair Solutions is a space for women to feel vibrant, sexy and, above all, free of negative self-image caused by hair loss. Strut carries the best in European hair wigs, Remy hair extensions, top-of-the-head pieces, natural topical solutions and non-invasive laser hair restoration treatments. Recognizing that high-quality hair solutions are an investment, Strut also provides washing, cutting and styling services.

“I am always inspired by the change in a client’s demeanor when we find the perfect hair solution for her,” Gibson says. “We always say: She walks in and then struts out!” The secret to Gibson’s success is hiring a team of professionals based on their passion and positive attitude.

“You can teach skills, but not attitude, that comes from within,” she says.

But she isn’t stopping there. Gibson recently launched her own product line, Unveil Restorative Hair Care, which includes a thickening/hair growth serum as the hero product. “I have taken the last 21 years of experience with clients telling me what was important to them, as well as selling other hair-thickening products, to truly understand what’s needed most for my customers.”

Unveil Restorative Hair Care treats the causes of hair loss and delights each client with a fuller, thicker and richer head of hair.

You can find out more about Gibson’s new product line of hair thickening/hair growth products, or to shop online, by visiting StrutHairSolutions.com or by calling 858-755-9447 to schedule a consultation with her team of hair specialists.

Rene of Paris Launches New Spring 2018 Wig Collection

Hello Strut Tribe…We have exciting news for you! Rene of Paris just launched the new spring wig collection and we have to say this is one of the best collections we’ve see from them with in a while.

We’ve got a new saying in the studio “wig envy” and when you strut in one of these sexy styles you’ll get so many compliments on your hair. 

Let us tell you a bit about these new wigs, there are 3 new synthetic wigs. One sleek short bob Kai, medium length with soft face framing layers Dakota and finally a long sexy beach wave wig Raylee.

All 3 wigs are lace front with lace part construction, offering the most natural looking hair line.  Another bonus 2 new amazing colors: Melted Marshmallow & Melted Sunset. (If you want to know more about lace front and cap construction check out our  https://struthairsolutions.com/wigs/wig-gallery/  which will give you more information)

So, I (Helena) was chatting with Kayla our store manager in Solana Beach last week about her shoes, some how I mentioned the amount of shoes she had, it was so great, she turned and looked at me and said I don’t invest in shoes, I have WIGS! That was the best! HAHA.  Let’s add to your collection, as you know there is nothing like fresh hair! Come see us and try these fabulous styles on, you’ll be glad you did.

An Insider’s Guide to Wig Care & Styling

You have a lot of options when it comes to wig care & styling…

Lace Front Wigs Can Help Beat the Heat!

Lace Front WigsLace Front Wigs & 100% Hand Tied Wigs Can Help You Beat the Heat

For most of us, we want our natural hair wigs year round. But, it has been really hot lately! To beat the heat, Strut Hair Solutions has increased our stock of two modern styles, 100% Hand Tied Wigs (or Full Lace Wigs) and Lace Front Wigs. It’s important to understand the main differences between the two and when each one should be worn!

Hand tied wigs, or full lace wigs, sound exactly like what they are; a lace fabric base in which synthetic or human hair is tied to and worn over the scalp. These can be 100% hand tied with human hair wigs or can be a combination of processed and hand tied wigs. Full lace wigs cover the whole scalp and can be worn with different hair styles underneath. They are usually worn with a wig cap because they cover the whole head. They are better suited for more temperate climates because they do not offer much breathability and can get very hot in the summer.

Lace Front Wigs, sometimes called Front Lace Wigs, are a popular alternative to 100% hand tied wigs and full lace wings because usually command a lower price, offer more comfort and wearability. Many celebrities have used lace front wigs to get the perfect hairline or for a quick hairstyle change. Lace front wigs can be used as a quick fix or to try out different styles.

When installed professionally, these breathtaking wigs can give the appearance of a truly natural hairline. The lace front wig is strictly attached by the front edges and are usually cut to fit when attached to your head. The base of the wig is usually comprised of a thicker material to keep a natural looking shape with improved comfort.

Benefits of Lace Front Wigs

An additional benefit is breathability; since the front of the hairline is covered with lace and hair only, a lace front wig allows for comfortable, wearable hair in hot weather. Allowing exposed natural hair to remain uncovered and cool is another great reason to use a front lace wig instead of a full scalp wig. A lace front wig is definitely ideal in hot and humid climates and is a great, natural looking alternative to other options. A 100% hand-tied, full lace wig allows even more breathing when it gets hot.

With the temperatures in Fresno hitting 110 degrees this summer, a lace front wig can prevent overheating. Make sure your wig is high quality and installed properly. A cheap lace front wig that is not put on properly could do damage to the skin, hair follicles and may lead to hair loss, or even skin discoloration due to harsh adhesives.

We recommend you speak to one of our professionals for assistance with getting the right wig and getting it in place properly. Prices for front lace wigs vary quite a bit based on quality, texture, length and style. Front laced wigs offer another option for a stylish and comfortable wig in summer heat.

At STRUT, we have a vast selection of 100% hand tied front lace wigs to choose from in-store. So, you can try them on, have them fitted properly, and then tailored to your scalp, face and body through cut and color. Visit our Fresno and Solana Beach locations for a free consultation on human hair front lace wigs. We look forward to helping you get the look you deserve!

Kims Wigs | Why Does Kim Zolciak Wear Wigs?

If you have ever watched the Real Housewives of Atlanta, you probably know Kim Zolciak. She is known for being an outspoken proponent of beauty-enhancing products like wigs. Kims wigs are clearly an important aspect to who she is. We watched her in a previous interview on Bravo where she explained Kim’s wig obsession. Not all women that walk into our wig shop in Fresno or San Diego, are there for medical hair loss reasons. Some just want to get a new, fresh look to liven things up a bit. She is definitely one of these people. In fact, she says that, “wigs are just easier!”

Kim has a full head of hair but doesn’t shy away from the nearest hair store to improve her look. Kim’s hair always looks good and it is usually quite difficult to determine when she is wearing one or not. For Kim hair store stops are a regular occurrence to keep her look fresh. In the interview mentioned above, she says, “My hairdresser Nikki can curl it on a mannequin or braid it or do whatever and just put it on my head and I’m out the door,” she explained. “It’s like having a chef. I want to spend more time with my kids than cook and I hate cooking so I hire a chef.”

Strut Hair Solutions has the greatest selection of wigs Fresno ca offers, so join us for hair pieces similar to Kims wigs Fresno and our San Diego wig store both have something you will enjoy. As the interviewer mentions, “the fascinating thing is that Kim has a full head of thick, blonde hair that looks like hers, but she wears a big heavy wig over it.” We understand her desire for simple, healthy results without suffering from medical problems as well. This is another reason why we carry the highest quality wigs and are certain that even if we aren’t your nearest hair store, if you set up an appointment today we can get you a glimpse of how you would look with different styles like Kim’s hair. 

Come see us today and we will help you grab that look you want and will have you strutting out of our salon!
