A Trichologist’s Perspective on the Modern Scalp + Hair Facial

For more than 35 years, Abstrax Hair Design & Restoration LLC has served men, women, and children throughout Southern New Jersey with advanced solutions for hair loss, scalp conditions, and non-surgical hair replacement. Founded in 1989 by Master Hair Replacement specialist Gerry Hergert, the family-owned practice is now led by her daughter, Laura Cole — a second-generation restoration expert and certified trichologist.

Cole is a Master Accredited Specialist in hair replacement, trichology, extensions, and wigs, a former board member of the American Hair Loss Association, and an active member of the Professional Beauty Association. She also volunteers with Children With Hair Loss and Wigs for Kids, providing no-cost hair systems for children experiencing medical hair loss.

With decades dedicated to scalp health and restoration, Cole evaluates treatments through both a scientific and practical lens. 

“As a trichologist, I’m extremely impressed with the ECRU Scalp Hair Facial. The formulation is thoughtful, effective, and truly supports scalp health without overcomplicating the process.” 

In a category often filled with complex systems and exaggerated claims, simplicity and consistency matter.

“What I love most is how easy and intuitive the steps are. It allows stylists to confidently deliver real results while educating their clients.”

For salons working with thinning or fragile hair, treatments must fit naturally into daily services without sacrificing intention.

When a trichologist whose career is built on restoration and long-term hair health endorses a treatment, the conversation moves beyond beauty — and into credibility.
