Need a hair stylist

Your usual stylist will be just fine
I've never heard of anyone who specializes in hair cuts for people who have cancer, but I think most of them have been faced with the task of cutting/buzzing/shaving someone's head who is going through chemotherapy. I had mine buzzed to around 1/4" when it started to fall out. It made the process less traumatic.
Good luck.

hairstylist
My wig shop will shave heads of women losing it to cancer free of charge. The name of the place is Commenci. She is a former onc. nurse who opened a shop for post mastectomy and cancer patients in general. I just cut mine cute short at first, then boy short and then I'll shave it myself. I cut my boys hair for years. I figure I can't really mess it upI have been told NOT to shave it completely bald because of I guess follicle infection or sometheing. Hope this helps. I started my treatment four days ago so any time now I'll stand with you!! Let's stand tall. NONE of this is our doing, decision or identity.
