Why professionals choose the SkalpD Method
Grows your income
The SkalpD Method allows you to offer a premium, specialised service that attracts high-value clients while working in a way that feels aligned, sustainable, and rewarding.
Fills a market gap
A clear, professional solution that blends seamlessly, looks incredibly natural, and fits effortlessly into your existing service menu.
TRANSFORMATION & TRUST
When a client sees what’s possible with SkalpD, it’s often the first time they feel truly seen and understood. You become their trusted specialist, not just for hair, but for confidence.
The Hair Loss industry has changed, but most solutions haven’t.
Many stylists reach a point in their career where traditional options like extensions or toppers simply aren’t the right solution for clients experiencing hair loss.
Clients want something discreet. Natural. Life-changing.
Yet too often, professionals are left without a truly modern, professional option that fits seamlessly into their existing services — and delivers the level of transformation today’s clients expect.
That’s the gap the SkalpD Method was created to fill.
Hi, I’m Ashleigh – founder of SkalpD and a hair loss specialist with over 13 years of hands-on experience in this incredible industry.
I created SkalpD because I knew there had to be something better. Something more realistic. More wearable. More confidence-restoring.
Since launching in 2021, this method has helped transform not just my clients’ lives – but also the careers of salon professionals across the world.
Over the last four years, I’ve trained amazing stylists – both in person and on Zoom – and while their skills have always been strong, many struggled with confidence once back in the salon.
That’s why I’ve taken everything I’ve learned and built an online platform that offers real training, real mentorship, and real support.
It’s a space for you to learn, grow, and always have someone in your corner.
What is the SkalpD Method?
The SkalpD Method is a specialist approach to fitting, removing and maintaining non-surgical scalp prostheses without shaving the client’s existing hair, where suitable. Made accessible to the wider hair industry in 2021 by hair loss specialist Ashleigh Welsh, it teaches professionals how to deliver a personalised service, from consultation and choosing a suitable system through to application, aftercare and troubleshooting. The physical systems are made by independent suppliers; the method gives you the knowledge and practical skills to work with them confidently and with care.
Why the SkalpD Method?
I made this previously hard-to-access method available to the wider hair industry in 2021. My teaching brings together years of hands-on experience, practical insight and a deep understanding of the challenges professionals face.
No beads. No need to shave
Learn an attachment method that preserves the client’s existing hair, without beads or shaving, where suitable.
Access to custom-system suppliers
Connect with independent factories that create bespoke pieces tailored to your client’s requirements.
Detailed education you can revisit
The full course includes 128 lessons and counting, while Refresh offers 90 lessons and counting, covering technique, maintenance, aftercare and the questions that come up in real salon life.
Troubleshooting is part of the training
Understand what can go wrong, what to look for and how to approach challenges with clearer judgement and realistic expectations.
Mindfulness meets business
Alongside practical skills, I bring mindfulness into business, helping you build confidence, set healthy boundaries and create a service that supports you as well as your clients.
Education connected to the products
As co-owner of Serenity Scalp Health, the company behind Get-A-Grip adhesive and Erased remover, I teach with products I’m directly involved in bringing to the industry.

Frequently asked questions about our courses
Is SkalpD a wig or scalp micropigmentation (SMP)?
No. SkalpD is a bespoke scalp prosthesis. It is not SMP and not a standard wig.
Is this training online or in person?
Training is primarily delivered online through a dedicated learning portal. Some programmes may include calls, strategy sessions, or additional support.
Will I receive support after training?
Yes. While training programmes are not ongoing 1-to-1 mentoring, support is available when needed to help guide you and ensure best practice.
Once qualified, can I train others in the SkalpD method?
Training others under the SkalpD method is not automatic. This is only offered when both parties agree that the stylist is confident, competent, and ready to represent the method to the required standard.
Do I get access to the SkalpD factory?
Yes. Approved SkalpD professionals receive direct access to the SkalpD factory for ordering systems.
Is SkalpD education accredited?
SkalpD education is industry-led and experience-based. Accreditation details, where applicable, are outlined within each training option.
Is there a guarantee of results?
Results depend on implementation, commitment, and individual circumstances. Education and mentoring provide guidance, not guarantees.
Do you offer location exclusivity or area licences for training?
No. We do not offer location exclusivity or area-based training licences.
We believe that not every client aligns with every stylist, just as you won’t align with every client and it’s important that people have choice when seeking hair loss support.
SkalpD is built on trust, education, and individuality rather than territory control. If a client is right for you, they will find you. Your skill, energy, values, and approach are what set you apart, not exclusivity.
We encourage professionals to focus on confidence, quality of service, and authentic connection rather than competition.
Will I receive access to my course straight away?
Yes. Once you’ve completed your purchase, you’ll be given a link to log into the training portal straight away so you can begin immediately.
Is there a time limit to complete the training?
No. You can work through the training at your own pace within your access period.
Can you review my client work?
Yes, each module is reviewed by Ashleigh herself in order for you to pass.
Will you help me price my services?
Pricing guidance may be discussed during strategy calls or support, but final pricing decisions are always the responsibility of the stylist.
Is patch testing required?
Yes. Patch testing is essential and must be carried out correctly before fitting a SkalpD system.
Can clients develop reactions even if they pass a patch test?
Yes. Reactions can occur due to illness, medication changes, stress, or changes within the body, even after a successful patch test.
How long do SkalpD systems last?
Lifespan varies depending on aftercare, lifestyle, and maintenance. Education around care and realistic expectations is part of the training.
Can I get a refund once I’ve accessed the training?
Due to the digital nature of the training, refunds are not available once access has been granted. Full terms are outlined at checkout.
