The Huffington Post is a widely respected online news sources accredited with breaking some very high profiles stories.

In an article published earlier this month, Jackie shares her personal account of her battle with female hair loss. In addition to Ms. Nguyen shared images that depict her very advanced hair loss.
Jackieâs story is one that is much more common than you may think. She is a healthy 25 year-old woman who suddenly began to notice large amounts of hair loss. After a trip to the ER and appointments with dermatologist, gynecologists and therapists, the prognosis was alopecia areata. Her doctors suspect that her hair loss is related to a recent bought with depression that triggered the onset of alopecia aerate. In the raw and moving article, Nyguyen shares her story. In a mere two weeks Jackie lost 75% of her hair. She decide to write the piece to shed light on a very sensitive topic.
With more than 100 online comments from readers and fellow hair loss sufferers, Nyguyenâs article clearly struck a chord. At Continental Hair, we were particularly moved my Jackieâs story as we treat thousands of hair loss sufferers each and every year.

Dear Diary,
A long time client came in yesterday to order another pastiche. I was surprised when she opened her bag and pulled out a âtopperâ from someone else.
âI need to have another postiche wig, Michael.â She said. âThis isnât yours.â I looked at it and said âI know.â I felt a little betrayed but it was nothing personal.
âI donât think its real hair. I just got it because they were close by.”
âOh, it is real hair,â I said, âJust not the type you have gotten used to.â
âWell, letâs make one up right, Michael.â
âThat is what we are here for.â
And we did.
Dear Diary,
There are some clients that just make your day, like Mary. She has been coming to me for over 10 years. She has alopecia totalis and used to get me to make model full cap prosthetics. Two years ago she took my advice and went with one of our virgin hair Jay cap wigs that we keep in stock and just loved it. She came in today to get a new one and she told me all about how much she loves the new design. The thing is, like many of my clients I do not see her for years at a time since she takes care of her hair herself. But she told me that she works nearby and she sees me occasionally walking to work.
Mary is the type of person that has her smile light up a room and I am so happy to have her as a client pleased with my work. There are some people in the world that I do not get along with, some of whom I am quite pleased that I donât, but Mary is one of those that if you donât get along with her its not because there is something wrong with her, its because there is something wrong with you.
She got a new one today. Just like the last one, a short and sassy blonde with lots of layers. She is going to wait on any highlighting to see how it plays out. I hope that I do not have to wait another two years before I see her again.
Dear Diary,
Here is a letter from a wonderful mother…
Dear Michael:
I would like to take a moment to say thank you. My daughter, a young professional at this point, has been experiencing degrees of alopecia for the last 10 years. She has been brave and stoic but as gals we all know our hair says a lot about us at first glance. She has had “lots” of wigs, from natural to micro fibre, expensive to less expensive. The highlight of our recent trip to Toronto was the short time spent with you and your staff.
Compassionate, knowledgeable and professional…She felt respected and understood. We did not come in search of 2 wigs but left elated at the possibility of 2 different looks. Now cut and coloured to her choices and personality, she stands taller, smiles brighter.
Michael to you and your staff, thank you. This experience was not only about the quality and fit of the wigs, but about you and your approach.
Our thanks but especially from me as a Mom!
