Hair Enhancements in Dormont empowers women battling cancer

DORMONT, Pa. (KDKA) — For women diagnosed with breast cancer, along with various other forms of cancer, the experience of hair loss caused by chemotherapy often represents a significant emotional challenge during their fight for recovery.

Hair Enhancements in Dormont plays a vital role in uplifting its clients, a significant number of whom are navigating the difficult terrain of cancer treatment, providing them with high-quality wigs and hair toppers designed to enhance their confidence and self-esteem.

Recently, Hair Enhancements hosted a special evening dedicated to recognizing both past and present clients, while illuminating its impactful charitable efforts that have resulted in over $60,000 worth of donated wigs and hair toppers to women who are in dire need, facilitated through strategic partnerships with various charitable organizations.

Bouquets of vibrant flowers were presented to every woman present, marking the inaugural Hair Enhancements Cancer Warrior Awards. The event also paid tribute to the brave women who have lost their battles with cancer, ensuring their legacies are honored and remembered.

Owner Kelsie Baldé emphasizes that each woman her team assists carries a unique narrative that resonates deeply within the community. “It’s a lot. It’s sad because I wish less people had to go through cancer, but on the flip side, I’m really blessed that I get to be part of that. Any little bit that can make that journey better, I support. So I’m really lucky I get to do that for people,” she said.

Proceeds generated from the Cancer Warrior Campaign will be directed towards the non-profit Face2Face Healing, which is dedicated to assisting individuals confronting cancer or other health conditions that alter their self-image. Their mission involves promoting healing through outreach, advocacy, and educational initiatives.
