About — Restore Hair Durango

Welcome — I’m Glad You’re Here

I’m Sharon Hilmes, a Certified Trichologist through the United States Trichology Institute and the American Medical Certification Association, a Certified Hair Loss Practitioner, licensed cosmetologist of 39 years, and salon owner.

I help people experiencing hair thinning, shedding, and scalp issues using a holistic, whole-body approach grounded in the science of Trichology.

What is a Trichologist?

A Trichologist uses a scientific approach, focusing on identifying the root causes of hair loss and scalp conditions, and developing a personalized treatment program for a client.

Why I Do This Work

My passion for hair restoration began with my own hair-loss journey.

There was a time when I dreaded washing my hair because it came out in handfuls. I’d look at the bottom of the shower, see the shedding, and feel a wave of panic — What if I go bald? Who would trust a stylist who can’t fix her own hair?

The fear and uncertainty were real, and I know many of my clients feel the same way.

After thorough testing, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, an autoimmune condition that affects the thyroid and can trigger significant hair loss. Once I understood the cause, I was able to support my thyroid, adjust my lifestyle, and begin the long-term process of healing from the inside out.

My shedding stopped, my confidence returned, and I regained most of the hair I had lost. That experience changed the direction of my career — and it’s why I’m committed to helping others find answers and regain hope.

My Multi-Therapeutic Approach

Using my trichology training and personal experience, I’ve created a customized, holistic system for hair restoration that includes:

• Advanced scalp analysis

• Healthy scalp regimens

• Targeted topical solutions

• Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)

• Whole-body wellness & nutritional guidance

• Lifestyle recommendations tailored to the root causes of your hair loss

This approach is safe, effective, non-invasive, and designed to support healthier, fuller hair over time.

No two clients are the same, so your program will be customized to your unique needs, health history, and lifestyle.

Let’s Work Together

Whether you prefer to meet in person or virtually, I would love to help you understand the “why” behind your hair loss and create a restoration plan that helps you feel confident again.

I am a 76 year old female with thinning hair. I started treatments with Sharon in February 2021. My treatment plan consisted of Low Level Laser Therapy, topical serums and supplements for 6 months. My hair was thinning and the strands were noticeably finer and would not hold curl. About 2 months into the program I noticed a change in the texture of my hair and the curl held longer than it did before the treatments, I could see new hairs at the hairline and by the fourth and fifth month they were noticibly growing longer. I continue using the supplements and topical serums but since I have moved out of Durango and haven’t taken any laser treatments. I would definitely suggest to keep upn with the laser treatments until you see substantial growth. I know Sharon will advise you on how long you should continue treatment. I would definitely recommend this program

I have worked with Sharon for the past few years and have learned so much from her about the importance of using naturally based personal care products and how products with harsh and toxic chemicals can lead to things like inflammation, skin issues, and even hair loss, which I was dealing with when I first started working with her.

I was the first of Sharon’s clients to sign up for her hair restoration programs. I knew I would be moving mid-summer, so I signed up for the six-month program utilizing Low-Level Laser Therapy and topical Growth Factors instead of the recommended 1-year program. Nonetheless, my results were fantastic. I began with Female Pattern Hair loss, and within a month, I was starting to see the new hair growth; by the end of the six months, my thinning areas had filled in.

Sharon was extremely accommodating in scheduling my twice-a-week treatments, and I couldn’t be happier with the process and my results. I highly recommend Sharon’s programs.
