Three bios, the portrait, where the work has been covered, and the rules on the name. If something is missing, email me and I will write it.

The preferred portrait. Do not crop below the shoulders and do not apply filters.
Seven rules, and they all matter.
Most of these exist because the alternative is a claim I am not licensed to make, or a sentence that undoes the reason the thing was built. If you need to depart from one, ask me first.
- Always Our S.P.A.C.E. — the acronym with periods. Never "Our Space" or "OurSPACE."
- Full name on first use, then the short form: The Donna Jean Hair Restoration Clinic, then The Clinic. Unblended stays Unblended.
- Built for Black, Brown & Queer folx by design; open to everyone by law. Do not flatten it to "a welcoming space for all," and do not imply anyone is screened at the door.
- No medical, therapeutic, or clinical claims for the parent company or Unblended.
- The credential is Student of Trichology (IAT). Never "Trichologist," and trichology is never described as a service.
- No reimbursement guarantees and no predicted coverage outcomes.
- NGLCC and Virginia SWaM certification marks are third-party artwork. Reference them by name; do not redraw them.
Ask me anything you cannot find here.
I answer press directly. Anything clinical or insurance-adjacent goes through compliance review first, so those replies take longer.
