Fantasia Salon / Spa and Wig Specialists

One of the most traumatic experiences a woman could endure in her life would be baldness. I read somewhere recently that it’s because women are more vain than men. I don’t think that’s it at all. Quite frankly, I know some pretty vain men. Women are supposed to have hair, plain and simple. Total baldness for a female can be completely heart breaking. To see one’s hair fall out in clumps and be able to do nothing about it is something no woman ever contemplates.

Society may mock men suffering from baldness but at least it’s tolerated. A woman suffering from baldness is just not acceptable by society. We live in a culture where we judge each other by looks and until people are ready to accept one another as they are, bald women will continue to be treated as outcasts. Hair for a woman is regarded as a symbol of beauty and desirability. Without hair, some women feel completely like failures and the effects for them can be disastrous. Hair loss can be seen to some women as losing their femininity.

Many people assume it is only men who suffer from hair loss but nothing could be further from the truth. Millions of women the world over suffer from some form of hair loss and the numbers are rising each year.

Hair loss is not painful and it’s not dangerous in and of itself. But, for six out of ten women who will suffer from it at some point in their lives, it can be a devastating blow to their self confidence, and, cause a whole host of issues including marital breakups, career problems, social isolation and even suicide has been known to follow in its wake.

If you think I’m exaggerating, think again. At Fantasia, because we specialize in hair loss solutions for women (as well as men and children), these are the issues we talk with women about everyday. We understand the devastation of the problem and are constantly striving to make our salon an even better environment so healing can begin to take place for those afflicted. If you or someone you love is in need of a solution for their hair loss problem, please have them call and schedule an appointment with one of Fantasia’s trained Hair Loss Specialist. They are compassionate, caring professionals who are thrilled to help people get their life back and would love the opportunity to work with you.
