Bald and Beautiful!

Yesterday was D-Day.  I was so frusterated and depressed.  i was tired of watching my beautiful locks of hair fall to the ground for no reason.  After a very tearful morning I took off work and headed to meet my wonderful mother.  We went to The Gallery Hair Studio ( https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Gallery-Hair-Studio/178145498888847#!/pages/The-Gallery-Hair-Studio/327300486332 ) and met with Suzette Beene.  She was amazing!  I told her what I needed and she turned me away from the mirror so I didn't have to watch.  She asked me if I was ready and then, as my mother held my hand, Suzette swiftly and gently shaved what was left of my hair.  She was very compassionate and treated me with respect and dignity.  And of course I cried. 

That first swipe was the worst!  All I could think was "Oh God!  I have no hair!"  But my mother held my hand through the whole thing and gave me an extra squeeze when I started to cry.  I truly love my mother.  I love both of my parents.  My Dad even threatened to shave his head too!  LOL!!!

After I was shaved, my stylist Suzette gave me the name of some supplement I can take to try to regrow the hair and then to our astonishment REFUSED TO TAKE ANY MONEY!  She didn't charge me at all!  I will forever be greatful to her and to The Gallery Hair Studio for being so amazing on a day when I really needed it.  You have a customer for life.... when my hair grows back that is!  =0)

Once we left the hair salon we quickly ventured just a few doors down to Butterfly Boutique ( http://www.butterflyboutiquela.com/ ).  When we walked in we were quickly greeted by a bright and smiling Lisa Clark.  I swear, God put an angel on earth when he made her.  She made my whole experience... FUN!!!  Who would have ever thought that having to buy a wig would be fun!  But it was!  We tried on wig after wig after wig until we found the perfect one for me!  Lisa  was so sweet and really made me feel right at home in her and Cherie Byers shop!    I would definetely suggest to anyone going through any kind of hair loss to go to Butterfly Boutique.  They are AMAZING! 

I left with my new hair feeling like a brand new woman.  I didn't feel like a victim of his horrible disease anymore!  I felt more like myself than I have in weeks! 

So now my hair is gone and I start the road to hoping for my hair to come back.  There is no guarantee that it will, but there's also no guarantee that it won't!  So I am hopeful!
