Meet the team
With a team of over 150 employees, we can't list all of our amazing colleagues but we would like you to meet our management team who are on hand to give you the best possible advice and care.
Chris Hinchliffe - Director
I started working with Lucinda Ellery in 1995. Lucinda (my mother) insisted that I learned all from the ground up and after a lot of training, I did just that! Lucinda instilled in me, what it means for women to be challenged with hair loss and how important it is to find a way to successfully manage this. As the interest in our services grew so did my role. Today my role spans research and development (I am constantly looking at how we can improve the Intralace System and have overseen several successful changes over the years including the creation of proprietary hair components, hair sourcing and natural aesthetic developments) I also work on project management within the company, expansion planning and still on occasion, consulting on the suitability of our services with clients. I am privileged to work with so many of our senior management team over many years and their outstanding humble dedication and professionalism is grounding.
Michelle Dabadie - Director
When we decided to open our first U.S location in Beverly Hills, I moved to California to facilitate the growth and expansion of the studio which was a fun experience living in the U.S for three years. I am now back in the U.K, I particularly miss the Californian weather! I love our clients and I love how I have witnessed the Lucinda Ellery ethos and ethics be just as effective across the pond. I have worked with my mother (Lucinda) since I can remember, and I was always fascinated with her inventive ideas and her progressive thinking when it came to all things hair. I enjoy creating new Intralace systems for our lovely client and conducting consultations but as the company has grown there are days where I have to wear many hats and I wouldn't have it any other way. Being a woman, helping ladies regain the appearance of a natural full head of hair whilst regaining their confidence also is the most rewarding experience which I am grateful for every day.
Priya Vedhara – Head of US Operations
I never thought I would find a role that combined my personal career ambitions with my ambition to work for a cause that helps and supports people, well I found it at Lucinda Ellery! The fact that I see women, every day, come to us whether they are experiencing cancer, TTM or any other condition and we are able to at least alleviate the stress of their hair loss is such a privilege. My role at Lucinda Ellery is varied to say the least, managing the teams, offering training and development as well as looking at the business on a strategic level means my job is a busy and rewarding one at that. We all go to work to pay the bills but when you find yourself in a position where you can do that but also be contributing in some little way to someone's life, well that is when you know you are onto a winner!
Chantelle - Senior London Studio Manager
I have worked at Lucinda Ellery for just over 11 years, My fave part about my job is the fact it never feels like a job, creating beautiful new designs for clients and helping them through their hair journey is such an amazing feeling. Being a part of such a major life changing moment is one of the most rewarding parts of my job and seeing our lovely ladies return with their confidence restored is heart warming. I have grown with so many of our ladies and staff and I hope to continue to do so in many years to come.
