I have a "good" (i.e. expensive) wig I bought locally and had thinned and styled just for me. But I bought 2 wigs online from Paula Young. I figure if I have to be bald, I may as well have the fun of having different colors and styles of hair. If the results of tomorrow's needle biopsy send me back into chemo and baldness again, I think I'll treat myself to a BLOND microfilament pageboy wig, with thick bangs, to cheer myself up!
I went to our local American society and they gave me a free wig and some hats. Also they were giving out vouchers for free gas. They have other programs. Check with them.

Insurance
Check with your insurance company as many offer coverage and require you to use stores in their network. Mine wouldn't pay until I met my deductible.
Or....ask the staff at your local oncologist office.
Good luck!

I get mine from Paula Young. Very big selection and reasonable prices.
