Boston Hairdresser Hosts Alopecia Support Session to Help Others Feel Less Alone

A Boston-based hairdresser, Ariana Murrell, who herself has had alopecia since her youth, is planning a support session to help others with the same condition. The event – entitled ‘No Hair, Don’t Care’ – will take place at the Chain Bridge pub on 29 August and welcomes people of all ages who are affected by alopecia. Losing her hair at just 12 years old, Murrell found comfort in attending support groups where she soon realised she was not alone in her struggles. Over the years, she has chosen to not hide but embrace her condition by beautifully decorating the back of her head with tattoos of butterflies and flowers. Originally hailing from Ipswich, Murrell recently relocated to Boston with her family. Eager to offer support based on her own experiences, she is keen to spark conversation and raise awareness of alopecia within the local community.
