Alopecia Awareness
Friday, 2 October 2009

Alopecia Awareness is a great site for support with Alopecia and hair loss.

The site is supported by Michelle Chapman (sufferer of Alopecia related hair loss since the age of 5) a close friend of Gail Porter and Michelle is well known for appearing on TV, in magazines and on Radio, although Michelle is a celebrity in her own right. Michelle aims is to help people suffering from hairloss and Michelle now works as a wig specialist for a wig manufacturing company providing wigs for the NHS.

Victoria and Amy from the Hair Replacement team at Additional Lengths have had the great pleasure of meeting Michelle and has spent a few days in training with her with the aim of providing a professional caring service for NHS patients. Michelle shows outstanding enthusiasm and dedication to the caring services she provides.

"Even at the age of 82, one's appearance is very important and no woman feels well groomed if her hair lets her down.
When my mothers hair had been badly affected during a period of ill health, she felt dejected and anti-social. After a couple of visits to Additional Lengths, this situation was completely reversed.
The discreet hair piece made her look younger and gave her greater confidence.It was very easy to manage and completely realistic.
She has now returned to dancing 3 times a week and she is always out and about. If anyone has a similar problem, I would have no reservations whatsoever in recommending this solution.
Even though the thought of that first visit might be daunting the staff are highly skilled and supportive professionals and you will not feel out of place or embarrassed.

Don't waste anymore time, book an appointment today !"
