Preparation / Program Introduction

Q: Who is eligible to apply?

Boys and girls under the age of 19 residing in the US or Canada with a medically diagnosed need are eligible to apply.  

Q: What does the process look like?

You start by answering a few questions on our online application.  Our team will then review your application and schedule an intake interview, where we can further discuss your needs and our abilities.  We will partner with you and your stylist to guide you through this process.  

Q: What will I need to complete this process?

Time, availability, and some documents.  This is a multi-stage process that involves communication back and forth between you, our office, and your stylist.  Documents required to show proof of need include a provided medical form, legal age document (such as birth certificate, visa, passport, state ID), a current color photo of the child showing hair loss, and either a color photo of the child prior to hair loss, or picture showing a preferred hairstyle. 

Q: How do I find a stylist?

We will work with you to find a trained stylist to properly fit and style your child’s hairpiece.
