Angie Stoker AIT, CiT, WTS
I have worked in the hair industry for more than 20 years, and throughout that time trichology has remained a constant passion. My fascination with the science of hair began early in my career as a hairdresser, where I often met clients struggling with hair loss and a wide range of scalp conditions. Seeing the emotional impact these issues can have, I felt driven to provide better support. Yet I frequently found that the limits of traditional hairdressing knowledge, and the abundance of confusing or inaccurate information available to clients, left many people without the guidance they truly needed. This motivated me to pursue a deeper, evidence-based understanding of hair and scalp health, and ultimately began my journey into trichology.
I completed my iTEC Level 4 Certificate in Trichology (CiT) with Trichocare in April 2019 and opened GroHair Trichology Clinic shortly afterwards. After nearly five years in clinical practice, I further advanced my training with the Institute of Trichologists, graduating with distinction in 2025 with a Level 5 Diploma in Clinical Trichology.
I am deeply committed to supporting individuals experiencing hair and scalp concerns and to raising standards within the field. I strongly believe in, and actively support, the continued professionalisation of trichology, with the hope that it will one day become a formally regulated healthcare discipline.

I am an associate member of the Institute of Trichologists (IOT).

This involves staying current with evidence-based practices, emerging scientific research, and developments within the field of trichology. Continued education is supported through regular participation in seminars, conferences, and training events throughout the year, allowing members to maintain and enhance their clinical knowledge and skills.
