How to find hairdresser for Poor Hair

[TheGoddessFrigg]

A triple whammy of menopause, autoimmune disease and consequent medication have left my hair in a terrible state. I have bald patches on top so have been wearing a hairtopper but the rest of it really needs a proper trim.

I have been cutting it myself because I am so ashamed but that it obviosuly makes it look worse. The idea of exposing it to a professional fills me with dread- how do I find a sympathetic hairdresser?

It might be worth saying where you are in the country. I know there is a salon in my town where the owner has trained as a trichologist and does treatments such as mesh integration. She does it in a private room too.
