An award-winning hairdresser in Harrogate has launched a new wig service to support people suffering with hair loss.
For the first time, Joseph Ferraro will be stocking wigs and hairpieces and offering clients a full fitting and after-care service.
His hope is to help people across the Harrogate district who may be going through chemotherapy treatment or people who suffer with alopecia.
Joseph said:
“We have had a number of clients over the years who have come to us suffering from hair loss for a number of reasons.
“This could be having undergone chemotherapy during cancer treatment, or sufferers of alopecia or just general hair loss/thinning due to a number of other reasons.
“It has had such an impact on the way they see themselves, and their confidence. I wanted to be able to help out and by launching this new service at the salon, I hope it will help people who are having tough times in their lives."
Harrogate cancer patient Denise Lyons is one of the first clients to use the salon’s new wig service.
She said:
“I have metastatic breast cancer and during my time of having various chemotherapies I have lost my hair completely twice and have had to go to Leeds and York to get wigs.
“This time, my hair has only thinned but I wanted a new wig for my 60th birthday party so turned to Joseph.
“My experience has been excellent, the kindness shown by staff and the help given to choose the correct wig was first class.
“I’ve had so many compliments, it’s great this service is now available in Harrogate.”
Former North East Hairdresser of the Year, Joseph has owned and run a hair salon in Harrogate for many years.
Initially based in the centre of town, the salon has been at its present sit, in Leeds Road, Harrogate, for more than a decade.
Joseph and his team are regulars at London, Paris and Milan Fashion Weeks, styling models for the catwalk and top industry shows.
He is an Advocate for leading hair product brand Authentic Beauty Concept.
He spotted a need for a bespoke wig service in Harrogate after a number of enquiries from clients over the years.
Joseph added:
“We want to help people like Denise who have lost hair as a result of chemotherapy and other conditions, and to support hair regrowth as they return to health.”
Joseph’s new wig service is available in his Harrogate salon. He can be contacted for appointments via his website: www.josephferraro.co.uk or by calling 01423 524787.
