Professional School of Trichorehabilitation
The Ukrainian Hair Research Society (UHRS) founded this school in 2024 to train a new generation of beauty professionals: trichorehabilitation specialists. Hairdressers, cosmetologists and barbers learn to recognise hair and scalp problems and to work side by side with trichologists.
The stylist is often the first to notice that something is wrong with a client's hair. Spotting a problem early gets the person to a doctor sooner, and during treatment and recovery the stylist supports them with the right care.
The school runs with the support of the medical faculty of V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University, in partnership with MEDAVITA. The first group graduated in June 2025.
