Woman offers hope to kids with hair loss
By Donna Christopher
NEWS-TIMES CORRESPONDENT
When Marsha Scott pioneered a non-surgical hair replacement system 12 years ago, her goal was to address the problems of women suffering from hair loss.
But because she gets calls at least twice a month from parents of little girls with hair loss, she is offering free hair replacement for children at her Hair Loss Clinic for Women.
Children with hair loss seem to suffer more than adults, Scott said, adding childhood diabetes caused her hair to thin. Her experience led her to open her hair loss clinic 20 years ago.
But hair replacement is expensive, especially for families coping with a child with a chronic illness, Scott said.
A vacuum system for children with thinning hair can cost as much as $5,000, while a custom wig ranges in price from $1,800 to $2,200.
A child with scalp burns recently ordered several wigs and a teenager with trichotillomania, a nervous condition that involves hair-pulling, has made an appointment for a consultation.
Scott learned about Children with Hairloss, a non-profit organization, at a manufacturers' conference in Fort Lauderdale in February. While there she met Regina Villemure, founder and chief executive officer.
"She had a demonstration and offered the new program to hair replacement specialists. She asked me if I would introduce it at this clinic. They provide the prosthesis (wig) and a kit that includes a ring of hair that can be worn under a hat or turban so no child has to go without hair."
Each child receives a custom wig. Children with thinning hair, who order a vacuum system hairpiece, also receive a wig while waiting, Scott explained.
In a telephone interview from Children with Hairloss headquarters in South Rockwood , Mich. , Villemure said she started the organization in honor of her niece. "She survived leukemia 23 years ago," Villemure said. "She had chemo for five years."
"We provide state-of-the-art custom hair replacements, free to children up to the age of 21. The children can return once a year free with long-term hair loss. Short-term hair loss clients will be able to come back as often as needed," she said.
Four fund-raisers a year, private donations and grants support the charity.
About 20 salons around the country, like Scott's, now offer the service. In Michigan , a chain of salons, Fantastic Sam's, offers it.
Although her hair loss clinic is for women and girls, if a boy comes in needing hair, "We'll help them," Scott said.
"It's gratifying. They leave with confidence. They smile because you changed their life."
· For information, call Marsha Scott at the Hair Loss Clinic for Women at 1-800-625-HAIR (4247). The shop is located at 30 Grassy Plain St .
