Meet Anabel Kingsley

Anabel Kingsley is Brand Owner and Brand President of Philip Kingsley, the iconic British hair and scalp care brand founded by her father, renowned trichologist Philip Kingsley in 1957. A Consultant Trichologist and leading authority on hair and scalp health, Anabel has dedicated her career to helping people better understand, and care for, their hair and scalp.

Growing up surrounded by trichologists and immersed in her father’s pioneering approach to holistic hair health, Anabel developed a passion for trichology from an early age. After graduating from Kent University with a First Class Honours Degree in History, specialising in the History of Medicine, Anabel began her career at Philip Kingsley in 2006, working across the business, from managing the New York Trichological Clinic to joining the Marketing and New Product Development team in London. She qualified as a Trichologist in 2013, graduating with Distinction as an Associate Member of The Institute of Trichologists and receiving its Award of Excellence.

Today, Anabel leads the Philip Kingsley brand and its Trichological Clinics in London and New York, while continuing to practice as a Consultant Trichologist. Her expertise spans the many factors that influence hair and scalp health, with particular interests in nutrition, postpartum hair loss and the psychology of hair loss. She is passionate about a holistic approach to hair health, recognising that our hair is influenced by far more than the products we use. Anabel is an advocate for empowering education, and championing the understanding of how lifestyle, genetics, health, hormones, and nutrition shape the condition of our hair and scalp.

Anabel is a respected voice within the beauty and hair industry and sits on the Advisory Board of the British Beauty Council, as well as its Hair Committee and writes a bi-monthly column for Salon Business, sharing her trichological expertise and insight to help educate and empower hair and beauty professionals in understanding hair and scalp health. She was also noted by Quintessentially as one of London's best Trichologists's.

Anabel is also a trusted media expert, having written thousands of articles and provided commentary for publications including Vogue and The Telegraph. She has appeared on This Morning and QVC, spoken at leading beauty and wellness events, judged industry awards and contributed her expertise to books and charitable initiatives, including Look Good Feel Better’s guidance on managing hair loss during and after cancer treatment.

In September 2026, Anabel adds author to her list of achievements with the publication of her debut book, Haircare: The Ultimate Guide, bringing her years of trichological expertise and practical advice to a wider audience.

At the heart of Anabel’s work is a simple belief: understanding your hair and scalp is the first step towards caring for it properly. Through trichology, education and the continued evolution of Philip Kingsley, she is committed to making expert hair and scalp knowledge accessible to everyone.
