Stylist Melissa Marvels at Kindness of Hair Donors

October 24, 2024

We’d like to take a moment to recognize Melissa, owner of Bombshells by Melissa, located near Norfolk, Virginia.

Melissa says, “I have been a Wigs For Kids Hair Donation Specialist since 2017. My decision to partner with Wigs For Kids came after many years of doing donation haircuts and not truly knowing where that hair was going to end up. So, I researched and found Wigs For Kids and I thought to myself ‘This is a company that’s doing it the right way’. I love getting to connect with those who come to me for their haircuts and I’m always so honored they chose me to begin their hair donation process.

To me, I feel it’s such a selfless act for most who donate because they forego hair color and pampering hair services for years while they grow their hair to donate it to a child. More often than not, donors are donating again and again! It is honestly the most rewarding experience.” 🤍

Thank you Melissa, and to all our amazing hair donors! You are truly making a difference for our kids!
