Many melanomas go undetected because they are located in places that often go unobserved like the scalp, ears or neck. Hairstylists, who see their clients and their scalps regularly, are often the first line of defense in early melanoma detection.

During that time, she’s had personal experience spotting melanomas. “We had a week where about four or five patients came in with very aggressive melanomas that were all found on the scalp, and they were all identified by their hairstylist. And all of these melanomas were caught relatively early,” she says. “So I started to think about how I could leverage hairstylists in assisting the dermatologist. And what I realized was that a lot of them were actually very hungry for education.
