Recently I was diagnosed with cancer. I was in a hurry to find a wig that would fit me personally because I wanted it to look natural. At first, I didn’t even know where to start looking for this type of professional. I found Carlo and I am so grateful! The way you have your shop set up made the experience a thousand times easier. You provided a private and tranquil room for our meetings during this difficult and personal time. I found preparing mentally to wear a wig in place of my natural hair was a difficult task, but you made me feel totally at ease through the whole process. You were very comforting and made me feel confident that the product would be a great match for me. Your kindness, patience and calming manner put me at ease making me feel right at home.

The first time I went to see you Carlo, I was very nervous, scared and most of all embarrassed, but all those feelings lasted for about 10 seconds. You were so friendly and very knowledgeable, not only did you put me at ease, you made me feel pretty. I just want to thank-you again for helping me find the perfect wig for me. I never realized I could be so excited about getting a wig but most of all thank you for making me feel pretty for the first time in my life! It makes the experience of losing my hair less traumatic. These last couple of months have been extremely difficult for me but having met kind people, such as you, makes the journey ahead less scary.

Thanks again for everything.

My name is Julia. I have alopecia. I was diagnosed when I was three years old, when my mother found a bald spot missing at the back of my head, about the size of a toonie. By the age of 5, I had no hair on my body at all. It wasn't until grade 3 that my family and I discovered Wigs for Kids, when my family was approached by a girl from my school who told us she wanted to donate her hair to me. She had been growing it out for the past 3 years, and it was finally long enough to donate. My family started doing research on the process, and through our research we found this amazing organization. I received my first wig a few weeks later. Since then I've received many beautiful hair pieces from the organization that have helped me gain confidence and self esteem while growing into the person I am today. Carlo and the team at transitions studio were unbelievably welcoming and generous. They've made me feel like family, and I am eternally grateful for their support and kindness.

Thank you to everyone involved in Wigs for Kids, you amaze and inspire my every day!
