Our Story
When my daughter Bella, a passionate actress and performer who loves the spotlight and loves staying active, lost all her hair at just 11 years old, it felt like our whole world had been turned upside down. Overnight, our lives were consumed by doctor's appointments, various treatments, and the overwhelming challenge of helping her navigate a world that suddenly seemed so unkind. My heart ached as I watched her rapidly lose her confidence and sense of self without any warning. The summer following her diagnosis, she faced obstacles for the first time that we never could have anticipated, such as not being able to swim, go tubing, or jump in the lake with her friends without fear of her wig falling off during these activities. This was heartbreaking for us as her parents and, of course, for Bella. We knew we needed to find a solution that would allow her to continue the lifestyle she always knew and loved prior to alopecia.
Following that difficult summer, we discovered Freedom Vacuum Wigs and everything changed. Suddenly my daughter could swim freely, enjoy water sports, ride roller coasters, jump on trampolines, dance her heart out, and simply just be herself around friends without worrying about her wig slipping or falling off. It was like she had been given a new lease on life, a chance to just be a kid again.
Through it all, my daughter has been my greatest inspiration. Her courage, resilience, and unwavering determination have shown me the true meaning of strength and perseverance, and amidst all the chaos, a new purpose emerged. As a certified hairstylist with over 17 years of experience, I realized that my expertise in hair care and my personal journey with my daughter's hair loss could be combined to help others facing similar challenges. I became determined, not just to successfully navigate this journey with my daughter, but to make a difference in the lives of others as well.
Today, I'm on a mission to help others reclaim their sense of self-worth and pursue their passions without fear or hesitation. Because no matter what life throws our way, everyone deserves to feel confident, capable, and secure in who they are.
