Meet Ryan Wesley

Today we’d like to introduce you to Ryan Wesley. He and his team share their story with us below:

Ryan Wesley (Ryan W), a public figure and former dance/pop recording artist is currently making an entertainment comeback on “Bad Hair Day”, TLC’s newest reality show that follows patients with hair-related disorders.

Some may remember Ryan who performed in Broadway shows like Aida and SouthPacific and embarked on a music career with several chart-topping dance singles. Ryan spent the last several years caring for his mother who suffered a massive stroke. “During that time, I really got to focus on my music.

I was signed to a record label in Europe and became the dance music artist I always wanted to be,” said
Ryan. Ryan shot a music video “Hardcore” where he got to work with Brad Rushing, the same videographer who did videos with Britney Spears’ “Toxic” and Jennifer Lopez’s “Waiting for Tonight,” he adds.

In 2016 Ryan was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, where he then would undergo intense chemotherapy and radiation. During his chemotherapy treatments, Ryan’s mother would sadly pass away. Ryan’s life was turned upside down. “It was time to start over,” Ryan says. “I had no idea what I was going do”. Ryan had stopped doing music, had no income, suffered a major tragedy, and literally almost
died.”

Ryan went back to the world that he knew best, Cosmetic Dermatology. “It’s all about music and Botox baby”, says Ryan. Now he’s taking his turn at reality television. Ryan’s two worlds of cosmetic dermatology and entertainment are colliding on Bad Hair Day. Ryan also joins his childhood friend Dr. Meena Singh on a Hairtastic journey.

He says, “People will see me as the fun character that entertains, keeps the clinic lively, and keeps things upbeat and fun. Sometimes a patient’s struggle is deeper than we know, and it’s been eye-opening to see how much we can change people’s lives. A lot of time, patients will go on, and you may not hear from them, but in Bad Hair Day, you get to see the patient’s journey and story,” he adds.

Ryan wants to be an inspiration to others. He states, “Sometimes you get kicked down and literally almost die, and the next minute you can be thriving and shooting a television show that helps people!”

Ryan is currently the MedSpa Director and Hair Center Director for a large multi-location Dermatology practice in the Kansas City area. Bad Hair Day airs on TLC and is now streaming on Discovery+

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
My life has never been a smooth road. Between being diagnosed with Cancer in 2016, and Ryan’s month passing away during his cancer treatments. Then literally starting over.

Ryan does what he does best. Some you get kicked really hard, and you just have to get back up and keep kicking even harder!
