Scalp2Face: Where Healing Meets Luxury
“Pain, stress and breast cancer have shaped me to rise with a purpose: to heal and inspire others while rebuilding myself.”
These are the words of Pam, the founder of Scalp2Face, a London-based clinic where transformation is more than skin deep. Her journey into medical tattooing and semi-permanent beauty is one of resilience, loss, and ultimately, empowerment.
A Diagnosis That Changed Everything
In 2019, Pam was told she had stage 0 breast cancer (DCIS) and that her left breast would need to be removed.
“The moment I heard the words, I froze. Shock. Tears. A thousand questions in my head. Was this a mistake? How much time do I have? My children need me. Cancer could not touch me, could it?”
It took just 20 minutes, sitting in that hospital room, for her resolve to harden.
“I decided then: I was going to fight. I was going to prepare my body physically, emotionally and spiritually to survive, and to help others do the same.”
Loss, Illness and Rediscovery
Her breast cancer was not the only curveball. In 2010 the sudden loss of her mother left Pam grieving deeply. Soon after, she was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid and Sjögren’s syndrome. For a woman who had never relied on medication, suddenly navigating chronic illness on top of heartbreak was overwhelming.
The physical changes were stark: unexplained weight gain, thinning brows, constant fatigue, dull skin, and melasma.
“I did not recognise myself in the mirror anymore. It was not just my appearance, it was a feeling of disconnection from who I used to be.”
Coping did not come instantly. It was a gradual process of learning, grieving, healing, and finally, acceptance. That acceptance became a spark, an understanding that beauty and strength could coexist even in the middle of pain.

A Brother’s Journey, A Sister’s Purpose
Pam’s brother had been living with alopecia since he was 25.
“I watched his image change and saw the self-consciousness and stress take over. It was painful because I felt helpless, like there was nothing I could do.”
But watching his struggles ignited something. She began researching alopecia in all its forms, learning about its causes, its triggers, and most importantly its emotional toll.
“Every time I treat someone with alopecia now, I carry my brother’s journey with me. I know what is at stake, it is never just hair, it is identity.”
Turning Pain Into Purpose
The courage to transform her challenges into something greater came step by step. Pam went back to college, studying advanced techniques in medical tattooing, scalp micropigmentation, and semi-permanent makeup.
Her focus was clear: to restore not just appearance but confidence. To provide solutions for women rebuilding after breast cancer, for men and women with alopecia, for people living with scars, and for anyone who felt they had lost a part of themselves.
From that, Scalp2Face was born.

“Every client has a story. My job is not only to deliver natural, lasting results, but to make them feel truly seen, heard, and supported. Healing is not rushed here, it is honoured.”
Luxury, Redefined
For Luxurist readers, luxury is not only material. It is about feeling whole. At Scalp2Face, healing itself becomes a luxury experience. The clinic is designed as a private, calming space where clients can feel comfortable, respected, and cared for.
Pam recalls one of her most moving transformations:
“A woman with alopecia came to me in tears, saying she no longer recognised herself. Through scalp micropigmentation and brow restoration, we rebuilt her look and her confidence. When she saw herself again, she cried with joy. She said, ‘no more drawing eyebrows, I finally feel like me again.’ That moment will stay with me forever.”
Beyond Skin-Deep
Pam’s vision for Scalp2Face continues to grow: expanding treatments, creating training academies, and building community support for people living with hair loss, scars, and self-image struggles.
“Empowerment is no longer about just how someone looks; it is about helping them feel whole again. Watching a client leave with their head held high, feeling more like themselves, that is luxury, that is beauty, that is power.”
Pam’s Expert Insights
Everyday advice for restoring confidence and nurturing your skin and hair.
1. Hair Loss and Confidence
Hair loss is rarely just cosmetic, it deeply affects self-esteem. Solutions like scalp micropigmentation or brow artistry can restore not only appearance but identity.
2. Scars and Self-Image
Scars can feel like they control your life. Camouflage treatments offer more than cover, they provide freedom to move forward with confidence.
3. Brows that Define You
Over-plucked, thinning or disappearing brows can make you feel older than you are. Semi-permanent options create natural definition and save you from daily pencilling.
4. Skin That Glows Again
Tired, uneven or pigmented skin can make you feel disconnected from your reflection. Gentle treatments like Korean microneedling and BB Glow help restore luminosity and youthfulness.
5. Redefine Beauty During Illness
For women navigating breast cancer or autoimmune conditions, beauty does not disappear. Redefine it in ways that feel right for you: skincare, rest, or subtle treatments when you are ready.
