While On Lisinopril And Ranitidine And Having Hair Loss, It It Safe To Visit A Beautician?

I loss a lot of my hair during a 4 1/2 month hospital stay. Now that I'm home, I'm still taking the prescribed Lisinopril and Ranitidine. I really want to go to the beautician, but she refuses as long as I'm taking these two medicines. Is she correct in her concern?
