This is not a wig shop. It is a private practice.

Wherever you are in this — we begin here.

Every woman who meets with us is at a different point in her story. The consultation meets you exactly where you are.

i. just diagnosed

If you've just been diagnosed

The most useful thing we can tell a newly-diagnosed woman: come see us before treatment, not after. We match your hair while you still have it.

Start here →
ii. living with loss

If you've been living with hair loss

For women with alopecia or progressive hair loss who've been doing this for years. We help you find a wig that finally fits the life you've built — comfortable enough to live in, beautiful enough to love.

Partners, parents, daughters, friends. You don't need the right words. You just have to be willing to come with her.

You don't have to know what comes next.
We do.

You shouldn't have to fight to recognize the woman in the mirror.

Hair loss from chemotherapy, alopecia, or medical treatment is more than physical. It's looking in the mirror and not seeing yourself. It's feeling exposed in a room full of people.

It's adding one more thing to a life that already has too much.

You deserve someone who understands — and who handles the hard parts for you.

"I don't know what to expect."
The most common feeling

What actually happens in your care.

  1. i.

    We close the door.

    One client at a time. No waiting room. No shared spaces. The door closes — and the time is yours.

  2. ii.

    We start with you. Not the wig.

    What you do all day. Who sees you. What you've been through. What your comfortable sharing — and what you'd rather keep private. We answer your questions. You leave knowing more than you came in with.

  3. iii.

    We handle the hard parts.

    We explain how everything works, and we take the insurance off your plate — verifying your benefits and filing the paperwork, start to finish. No pressure, no rush. You focus on you; we carry the rest

  4. iv.

    You see yourself again.

    A wig that's almost right isn't right. So we keep going — matching the color, shaping the cut, adjusting the fit until it looks like it grew there. The moment you recognize yourself in the mirror, that's the whole point. That's when we're done.

Most women don't realize this is covered.

Insurance, FSA, and HSA often cover a medical wig — sometimes part of it, sometimes all of it. On a claim it's usually called a "cranial prosthesis," which is why so many women never think to ask. And the paperwork? That's ours. Every form, every code, every call — start to finish. You focus on you.

We handle the entire paperwork process — verification, prescriptions, codes, claim language, submission.

i. Insurance First-We take care of checking your benefits and filing the claim. Then it's just a matter of waiting to hear from insurance — and once we do, you choose your wig. Usually 30–45 days.
ii. Direct Purchase —For when waiting isn't what you need. You choose your wig right away, and we take care of filing for your reimbursement once it's yours. Same paperwork, same care — you just get to start sooner.

Before, and after.

Before

"I didn't recognize herself.
Then I did."

"I forgot I was wearing it
by the time I got home."

'Mom, you look like you."

One you've maybe already started. One that begins with a single conversation.

The Resolution

The peace is what she came for.

No two women arrive the same way. Some come the week of a diagnosis. Some are mid-treatment, watching it change by the day. Some have been quietly managing this for years.

What they share isn’t one story ,it’s a wish: to still feel like themselves, and to not have to carry it alone.

So we make sure her hair is ready before she needs it, fitted until it looks like it grew there. When she’s with the people she loves, they see her , not her diagnosis. We take the insurance and the paperwork off her hands. And on the harder days, she isn’t facing them by herself.

That’s the peace. That’s why we do what we do.

The questions most asked in our DMs.

How much does a medical wig actually cost?

Our collection ranges from $1,180 (Foundation) to $4,050+ (Signature). Most clients fall in the $2,100–$3,200 range. The final price depends on length, density, cap construction, and customization. We discuss pricing openly in every consultation — never surprises.

Will my insurance really cover it?

For women with medical hair loss (alopecia, chemotherapy, autoimmune conditions), usually yes. Coverage varies by plan, but most insurance reimburses a significant portion when properly coded as a cranial prosthesis. We handle every piece of paperwork — whether your consultation is in-studio or virtual.

What's the difference between Insurance First and Direct Purchase?

Insurance First means we verify your benefits, file the paperwork, and wait for approval before you pay anything (typically 30–45 days). Direct Purchase means you pay upfront and we file your reimbursement claim — same paperwork, faster start. Either way, the paperwork is ours.

Is the consultation private?

Completely. One client at a time. No waiting room. The door closes — and the time is yours. You can keep your wig, hat, or scarf on the entire visit if you'd like. We move at your pace.

Do you offer virtual consultations?

Yes. For women outside the tri-state area, we offer private virtual consultations with the same standard of care. We ship nationwide and handle insurance for clients in every state.

How long does it take to get my wig?

Most clients leave with their wig the same day. For specialty colors, custom cap sizes, or out-of-stock pieces, we'll let you know during the consultation — typically a 1–2 week wait at most. We never make you wonder.

I just got diagnosed. Should I come now or wait?

Come now. While you still have your hair, we can match its color, texture, and density exactly. This is the single most useful thing we tell newly-diagnosed women. We can build your wig before treatment begins.

What if I don't know what I want yet?

That's most of our clients on day one. The consultation is designed for exactly this — we start with your life, not the hair. You don't need answers before walking in. You only need to come.

Do you serve men?

Yes — our men's line is a separate, private practice with the same standard of discretion. Reach out directly and we'll connect you to the right specialist.

When you're ready — we are here.

Private. Unhurried. No commitment. Many of our clients spend weeks in conversation with us before booking a fitting. That's all right with us.
