You Want Your Hair Back.
Let's Start There.

Maybe your crown is thinning, your edges aren't coming back, or you're shedding more than usual on wash day. Whatever brought you here, the goal is figuring out what's happening and giving your hair the best chance to grow again. And we're pretty good at it.

What You're Actually After.

Imagine Not Thinking
About Your Hair All Day.

Passing a mirror without checking your crown. Letting the light hit your scalp without worry. Choosing every hairstyle for how you want to look, not what you need to hide.

Just feeling good about your hair again.

You Can Pull Your Hair Back Again No strategic swoop. No filling in the edges. No changing your style because one side looks thinner than the other.

You Can Actually See Progress Your part looks better. Your coverage improves. Your photos start telling a different story.

That's the outcome we're working toward. Not simply giving your hair loss a name, but helping you change what you're seeing.

More Hair. More Coverage. More Confidence.

What If Your Next Hair Photo
Looked Better Than The Last One?

Hair restoration takes time. But when the right follicles are still capable of responding, the difference can become visible.

Same angle. Same lighting. Honest timelines.

She had been parting her hair to hide the crown. Calming the inflammation first gave the follicles that were still active a chance to fill the area back in.

Years of tight installs left the hairline sparse. At 200x the follicles were still viable, so the plan focused on relieving tension and restoring the scalp.

Wash day was frightening. Once low iron and vitamin D were addressed alongside scalp care, the shedding settled and the hair started holding.

Stress Related Loss Reversed

24 weeks · stress and scalp recovery protocol

The patches showed up fast during a stressful stretch, which is often how this kind of loss behaves. Once the stress load, scalp inflammation and nutrient gaps were addressed together, the bare areas began filling in from the edges inward.

Every head of hair is different, and no treatment can guarantee regrowth. These are real examples of what progress can look like when the condition, the follicles and the treatment plan line up. Individual results vary.

Start With What You See.

Which One Have
You Been Noticing?

Most women don't walk in saying, "I think I have androgenetic alopecia." They say things like this.

Why a standard dermatology visit stops at the scalp.

The Problem Was Never Just On Your Head.

Dermatology treats the skin on your scalp. Trichology goes further. The strand, the follicle, your hormones, your nutrition, your stress load, your hair history. As a Black trichologist, Dr. Nina checks every layer a topical can't reach.

You weren't treating it wrong. You were treating the wrong layer.

Same Thinning. Six Different Causes We Check.

Lack of vitamins Iron, ferritin, zinc and B vitamins. Your follicles are picky eaters, and "normal" on a lab sheet isn't always normal for hair. We read the real levels.
Stress Stress pushes follicles into early shedding and slows regrowth for months. We read the pattern and help your scalp find the calm it needs to grow again.
Unhealthy habits Sleep, water, how tight you pull your hair and how often you touch it. Small habits quietly add up, so we connect the dots before your routine works against you.
Hormone imbalance Thyroid, estrogen and androgens quietly steer the growth cycle. When they shift, the crown and hairline are often the first place it shows.
Medication side effect Some prescriptions list hair loss so far down the side effects that nobody connects it. We review what you're taking so we know whether it's a factor.
Autoimmune When your immune system turns on your follicles, loss can come in patches or spread fast. We catch the pattern early so more hair stays protected.

Before we talk treatment, we find out why. And you see it for yourself.

This Is The Hair We Work With Every Day.

You Shouldn't Have To Teach Your Hair Specialist About Black Hair.

If you've worn braids, relaxers, sew-ins, wigs, locs, heat styles or protective styles for years, that history matters. If you have 4C hair, that matters. If your mother or your aunt dealt with thinning at the crown, that may matter too.

You shouldn't have to spend half your appointment explaining why.

How you wear your hair, how often you manipulate it and what it has been through over the years can all give us clues about what's happening now.

The Doctor Behind The Method.

Meet Dr. Nina Ross.

Portrait of Dr. Nina Ross, ND, PhD, founder of Nina Ross Atlanta hair clinic

“Your hair changed for a reason. My job is to find it and help you get as much of it back as we can.”

Dr. Nina Ross

For Dr. Nina, hair loss isn't just about what's happening on top of your head. It's about understanding why your hair changed in the first place, and what can realistically be done about it.

She built this practice around textured hair after years of women arriving with the same story: told it was stress, handed a prescription, and never asked about their relaxer, braid or heat history.

Her work sits where trichology meets functional medicine, which is why your visit looks at your scalp at 200x and at what your body may be doing underneath it.

  • Double Board Certified TrichologistTextured hair is the focus of the practice, not a subspecialty.
  • PhD In Functional MedicineHormones, nutrients and inflammation read as part of the picture.
  • Naturopathic And Functional Medicine ApproachHer whole-person training shapes every protocol used by the team.

From Atlanta Clients.

Sometimes The Biggest Relief Is Finally Having A Plan.

Many of our clients come in after months, sometimes years, of trying things on their own. Here is what it felt like to finally understand what was happening and start moving forward.

★★★★★

“I had tried everything for years. Nothing worked. Within months at Nina Ross, I saw new baby hairs. At 40 weeks, I had the confidence I thought I lost forever.”

Coretta, Atlanta
★★★★★

“Doctors told me nothing could be done. Nina Ross slowed my CCCA and actually gave me new growth. I only wish I had started sooner.”

Tasha, Decatur
★★★★★

“I was skeptical after wasting money elsewhere. The scalp imaging alone told me more than two years of guessing.”

Questions, Answered.

The Things
Women Ask Us Most.

If your question isn't here, call us and ask. You will talk to a real person.

Can my hair actually grow back?

It depends on what is happening at the follicle. Some follicles are dormant and can respond to treatment. Others have been scarred by conditions like advanced CCCA and cannot regrow. That is exactly what the 200x scalp imaging is for. We would rather tell you honestly what is realistic than promise you something we cannot deliver.

How long before I see a difference?

Hair grows slowly, so most plans are measured in months rather than weeks. We photograph the same areas at the same angles so you are not relying on memory to judge whether something changed. Individual results vary.

I have been told there is nothing I can do. Is that true?

Often what that means is that no one looked closely enough. Before you accept that answer, it is worth seeing your scalp at 200x and reviewing what may be happening internally. Sometimes there is more to work with than you were told.

Do I have to take my braids or wig out first?

Come as you are. We will talk through your styling history and work out what we can see at this visit and what may need a follow-up look. Nothing about your hair history is judged here.

What is a trichologist?

A trichologist specializes in the hair and scalp specifically. Our certified trichologists use trichoscopy at 200x and a whole-body evaluation to identify contributing causes. Everything you need is handled in-house. Dr. Nina Ross is a naturopathic doctor, ND, PhD, Double Board Certified Trichologist, who serves as clinical director.

What happens at the $99 Hair & Body Discovery?

A 30-minute visit with a certified trichologist: your history, a 200x scalp read across multiple zones, and a written report delivered the next day. You will leave seeing what is happening, with your report the next day. If you do not, the $99 is on us. HSA/FSA eligible and 0% financing for qualified applicants.

Where are you located and is there parking?

8735 Dunwoody Place, Suite 290, Sandy Springs, GA 30350, just off GA-400 near the Perimeter. Free parking is available at the building, and clients travel to us from all over Metro Atlanta.

Your First Step.

You Already Know Something Has Changed. Now Let's Find Out What.

Maybe it's your crown. Maybe it's your edges. Maybe it's the shedding. Whatever first made you stop and say, “Something is going on with my hair,” you don't have to keep guessing.

We'll take a close look, explain what we're seeing and help you understand what your hair may still be capable of.
