How Beech Grove Wig Boutique Can Help
We understand that hair loss at any time is an emotional experience and is often another distressing event to deal with at an already highly emotional time during cancer treatment. Our clients time after time speak about that feeling of instantly feeling more relaxed when they get here, the anxieties they had about visiting a wig shop disappearing because of the location and setting but also because they are dealing with someone who has hair loss and understands you need to feel like you. We can guide you through the best options to achieve this. We love our grounds and gardens and our countryside location and this makes our customer's experience unique - we love sharing the setting and making consultations as relaxed and enjoyable as possible. Green is all around - even our boutique is filled with palms, bougainvillea and plants. The house itself is 200 years old and as well as being the home to the boutique it is our family farmhouse. It is lovely to see the building providing such a positive environment for clients and their family and friends, to see a group sat laughing, sharing opinions on styles, drinking coffee and forgetting for the time they are here, other worries. To see others completely at ease and enjoying the experience of finding a new style, looking good and feeling better to use the words of an organisation listed below.
