Hair Prosthesis Institute has long held to the philosphy that when you look good on the outside, you feel better on the inside.
While it’s important for the self-esteem of every woman with hair loss, it’s never more crucial than for women battling cancer. Imagine dealing with the emotional issue of losing your hair while also fighting for your life…a bit overwhelming, isn’t it?
Many women that are about to start chemo treatments consult with HPI before losing their hair to protect their privacy. How do you ask? By ensuring they can get a style and color the same as their natural growth hair, it helps to continue looking like themselves, keeping co-workers and aquaintences usually from even noticing they are sick. Less disruption and personally invasive questions, the easier it makes it for women who wish to keep their personal issues private.
The more HPI can help women look like themselves, the more energy they can devote to healing and less to being self-conscious about the way they look. Hair may be the most noticeable beauty asset affected by chemo treatments, but there’s more that can be done.

They provide group beauty sessions for women undergoing chemo treatments. These free classes are typically held during a lunch hour in different locations periodically around the area.
