MESSAGE FROM LUCINDA ELLERY It feels like only yesterday that I was sitting writing ‘Christmas is on the way’ and here we are again. Christmas really is on the way and as we go into the last months of 2014 I realise that although it’s been fast it has also been full and somewhat beautiful. Talking of beautiful I want to thank you all, from the bottom of my heart for all your beautiful cards, comments, feedback and gifts. I know I say this every time but I am never quite sure if it comes across as to how grateful we all are to be in receipt of them. When I hear from you the stories of how your lives have changed, or when I hear how much you enjoy coming to see us I smile from my heart as all those years ago, when I was doing this from my front room in my farm house, that was my one true vision, to share happiness and joy through my work to ladies just like myself. You let me know, every day, that together we have achieved this. So thank you, thank you, thank you. I have just arrived back from New York and I want to let you all in on a little secret.......... Lucinda Ellery NYC is on its way. We are so excited to add a new transatlantic location to our studios and New York has always been a personal dream of mine. Another example of what you put out in thought, you really bring into your life. We should have more details for you on opening times and our team there very soon so watch this space. Another thing to watch out for is our brand spanking new hair extension website. We had such a blast shooting the pictures for the site, we want to create a modern, edgy, arty yet Lucinda Ellery site where you can browse the different types of extensions we are offering as well as to be able to get a good look at the studio and a feel for what we do and how we do it. The shoot took place in a beautiful location house in Kingston, 5 stunning models were involved in the shoot to show us how their hair was enhanced with Lucinda Ellery extensions and 5 Lucinda Ellery stylists were on hand to ensure that the model’s hair was picture perfect throughout the day. I was also delighted to see the amazing Buster Knight with his incredible make up skills along with our beautiful Chloe Jasmine who gave tips and tricks to the models, experience which was invaluable on the day. All in all the pictures have turned out amazing and all the hard work and effort which was put in has definitely paid off. We can’t wait to show you and to hear what you think. www.lucindaellery-hairloss.co.uk and www.lucindaellery-hairloss.com

Me and the Lucinda Ellery team having a little modelling fun of our own on the day of the shoot. In order to get the hair just the way we wanted on the day, Priya (Ops Manager) and Candra (Styling Manager) organised a styling night for the team, so they could practice styles and techniques. The whole styling team stayed to get involved in the fun and other team members from the studio stayed to be models. We always enjoy these nights immensely. Wine, pizza, music, laughs, hair and the most amazing team. What more do we need?. All in all we got to the end of the evening with a clear vision as to what our models hair will look like on the day of the shoot and what we would have to take with us in order to achieve it. Some amazing photos of our lovely team at our styling night. Especially loving the one of Jason and Candra..... welcome back to the family Jason. T R I C H O T I L L O M A N I A This year we saw amazing results with our campaigning to shine a light on TTM in conjunction with International No Pulling Week (1ST – 7TH October). It is a personal commitment of mine and will always be to ensure that this life debilitating condition is recognised and those who are suffering in silence know that they are not alone. It always amazes me that our clients struggle to get NHS funding for an Intralace when someone can quite easily have a breast enlargement with NHS funding. It is so important for us here at Lucinda Ellery to get behind this campaign and get this compulsive pulling disorder to the level of recognition it deserves. I have worked daily, for over 30 years, with the most amazing women who sadly struggle with this hair pulling disorder called TTM (trichotillomania). I believe that not only can women live and survive with TTM, but they can also thrive. One of the joys of working with these women in witnessing them, with the right help, manage their TTM, styling and ultimately regain their hair. These women are then able to cope with their TTM with the love and support from their family and friends, not to mention me of course. International No Pulling Week is all about spreading the word, educating people, and sharing this week with somebody www.lucindaellery-hairloss.co.uk and www.lucindaellery-hairloss.com

you care for and love. A problem shared is a problem halved. If you read any of the coverage on International No Pulling Week you would have no doubt seen our beautiful client Phoebe Ottomar, a stunning, bright, amazing young woman who has come forward to help this cause. I am sure you will all agree she looks simply divine with her new locks. 2015 TRICHOTILLOMANIA EVENING Whilst we are on the subject of TTM we are very excited to announce our 2015 TTM evening in London is set to be in May. Last year was such a success with so many clients turning up as well as guest speakers Katie Piper, Sarah Vine and Esther Mcvey showing their support. We are planning away at present and invites will go out in January to all TTM clients. If you would like to RSVP now and register your interest please email erin@lucindaellery.com who will put you on the list and who will ensure you receive an invite. I am very much looking forward to seeing you all there again.   On a deeper note, I can't recommend this enough. If you are in anyway wanting to make a better experience of your life or work on any issue no matter what, whether it's work, loved ones, health, money etc. Any hopes and dreams you would like to fulfil, no matter how small or big; on a device, buy through iTunes, an Audio by Rhonda Byrne ‘THE POWER’ it is one of the best ten pounds I have ever spent. It is wonderful to listen to while travelling, pottering in the kitchen lying in the bath. A little every day here and there will empower and strengthen you in any area of your life at any age. I have found it to be brilliant and really truly helpful and inspiring. So if you are a seeker of knowledge wanting to change or bring something to you in any area of your life it is outstanding, and I would love your feedback. Six months ago I lost the use of my leg long enough for it to be very scary given the amount of travel in my schedule, I started listening to ‘The Power’ every day and I know because of this I went on the right path to heal from within and today less than a few weeks later I am back in heels, have not missed a single obligation, still completing my tasks and my medics are astounded at my recovery rate but because of THE POWER ...I am not. Joan Rivers IN MEMONDUM In between flying to the LA studio, finding our New York location and press commitments I read the news somewhere along the way that the incredible Joan Rivers has passed away. When I read his royal highness himself (Charles) commenting on her death it really struck a chord 'Joan Rivers was an extraordinary woman with an original and indefatigable spirit, an unstoppable sense of humor and an enormous zest for life. She will be hugely missed and utterly irreplaceable.’ I laughed to myself when I heard of her request for her own funeral and how she ended it with a comment about how her hair will look...... she is my kind of girl. RIP Joan, thank you for the laughs and inspiration, another great taken from us. When I die (and yes, Melissa, that day will come; and yes, Melissa, everything’s in your name). I want my funeral to be a huge showbiz affair with lights, cameras, action.... I want Craft services, I want paparazzi and I want publicists making a scene. I want it to be Hollywood all the way. I don’t want some rabbi rambling on; I want Meryl Streep crying, in five different accents. I don’t want a eulogy; I want Bobby Vinton to pick up my head and sing: “Mr. Lonely” I want to look gorgeous, better dead than I do alive. I want to be buddied in a Valentino gown and I want Harry Winston to make me a toe tag. And I want a wind machine so even in the casket my hair is blowing in the just like Beyoncé’s So all that is left for me to say is have the most amazing Christmas and New Year. I am so privileged that we will go into it together and those of you who I have known for many happy new years and those of you who I will know in 2015, I am looking forward to working with you all and I thank you for being part of my world. Merry Christmas. Love and Hugs Lucinda xxx www.lucindaellery-hairloss.co.uk and www.lucindaellery-hairloss.com
