HOSPITALS
We were the first private wig salon to be in a public hospital in Canada
medical conditions have been coming to us for over 10 years , getting a new wig every other year .
Q . In your opinion , how important is hair to both a child and an adult ? Hair is very important to a person ’ s sense of self , to their own self-image . You can transmit a lot about yourself to the world by how you do your hair . Whether you are feeling professional , sexy or rebellious , it ’ s all in the hair . When you don ’ t have it , or enough of it , it hurts . You literally can ’ t “ be yourself .”
Q . How do you ensure the wigs you provide are safe for patients ? Over the years we have strived to build strong relationships and work with dermatologists and oncologists so that we can provide the best services and consults to our clients .
It ’ s important to learn as much as you can and to work as a team to understand the unique needs and limitations of certain medical conditions so that we can provide the best wig or hair system that will work with specific requirements and restrictions .
