Proudly Serving Children and Teens for Over 40 Years

When children lose their hair, they don’t just struggle physically. The change in their appearance can drastically undermine their self-image and sabotage their self-esteem. To help children look themselves and live their lives, Certified Cosmetic Therapist Jeffrey Paul founded Wigs For Kids, a nonprofit organization that has been serving children experiencing medical hair loss since 1981.

Wigs For Kids brings together stylists and hair donors who want to help children experiencing hair loss from alopecia, trichotillomania, burns, chemotherapy or any other medical causes of hair loss. When the right connections are made, regular people can make real changes in these children’s lives every single day. All it takes is the right hairstylist with the right pair of scissors and someone willing to donate a ponytail!
