Founder of House of Crowns
Hello, I’m Lisa
My passion is restoring confidence. Whether it’s a glossy set of extensions, a bespoke system after hair loss, or helping a new professional find her feet, I want every person who comes to me to leave feeling like the best version of themselves.
Healthcare heart
17 years in the NHS.
I started in the NHS at 17 and stayed until I was 34. I worked across medical and surgical wards and a breast cancer unit, and spent most of my time in medical and surgical outpatient clinics.
Those years taught me compassion, discretion and how much the way we look can affect how we feel, especially through illness and hair loss. That understanding sits at the heart of everything I do today.
“Never did I think I would be able to transform so many lives.Lisa James
