OUR STORY
The Heart Behind Savanna Hair Solutions
Savanna Hair Solutions began in Christchurch, New Zealand, in 2003 — born from one woman’s
deeply personal journey with hair loss and her commitment to create the support she wished she had.
Melissa’s Story
I started losing my hair in my twenties.
What should have been some of the most vibrant years of my life became clouded by tears, fear, and a feeling of hopelessness. Back then, no one was openly talking about women’s hair loss — Or at least, no one who spoke to my heart or my experience. I felt completely alone. Eventually, I discovered hair extensions and hair pieces. And in one profound moment, everything changed. The only way I can describe it is “absolutely life-changing.” With fuller, natural-looking hair, I felt myself come back to life. I began to stand taller, smile more, and step into the woman I was meant to be. My confidence grew — not because of the hair itself, but because it allowed me to feel like me again. That transformation sparked my purpose. I knew I wanted to dedicate my life to helping other women and children feel beautiful, supported, and comfortable in their own skin — especially during the moments when life feels overwhelming.
OUR MISSION
For the past 22 years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside women and children facing some of life’s hardest battles — medical hair loss, thinning, alopecia, trauma, and everything in between. It has been my honour to restore not just hair, but confidence, dignity, and hope.
