Having Alopecia Universalis, I have needed to wear a wig for nearly 30 years. Periodically, there have had to be changes in style, often a somewhat traumatic occasion. The most recent hair crisis involved not only a change of style, but also a change of color. In my search for a new me that the old me could recognize, I wound up with a wig of beautiful but unstyled hair. This was a wig that would need the best stylist. Of course, being bald, I didn't have a hairstylist, and for this particular problem, no one else seemed able to help. I began to panic; how could I get this wig styled so that I could wear it? Then I remembered that I had once seen an article in the New York Times that raved about a hairstylist who worked with wigs. A safari through my archives located the article from March 14, 2004 about this man named Dov. I found him and what a find! First, he is a terrific person. Second, his energy and enthusiasm when working are amazing - you are watching art. Finally, the results are Fantastic! I now have a beautiful new me. This was an occasion that brought me from panic to perfection. I am deeply grateful, Dov.
