I was diagnosed with breast cancer one year ago. My biggest fear was losing my hair. I am red haired and had lots and lots of hair. I got a list of places to go, but how could I know who was the right person to do my wig? I went to a couple of places and had made up my mind until through word of mouth from my friends the last place I went to was Rodolfo Valentin?s salon. I met Rodolfo and immediately felt his reassurance, the mastery of his craft and his great sense of style. As he shared with me his mother?s battle with cancer, I felt tremendous sensitivity and empathy of what I was going through. I knew he was the person I was going to trust to make me look whole again. Rodolfo fitted me and made not only a beautiful wig, but one that was ME. People who lose their hair want to look like themselves and this was Rodolfo?s biggest achievement. I?ve gotten millions of compliments on my hair and now that I?m parting with my wig as my hair is growing back, there are so many people who are stunned to learn that what I was wearing for the past 8 months was a wig. I am indebted to Rodolfo and everyone who works with him for making this traumatic and emotional process not only tolerable but at times made me smile. His permanent smile and patience to please me in any way was and will always be something I will be eternally grateful for.
