Concept
Do you know someone with a form of Alopecia or someone who lost/ losing their hair through Cancer ?
Do you remember the emotional toll it had on the person and on the family?
The effort of having to find somewhere to help them with getting wigs, to find classes to help them better understand and to cope with the challenges they face or to find support?
My project focuses on providing a retail/center for people of all ages and backgrounds with any form of Alopecia or Cancer.
A space where they can relax and lower their gaurd knowing they are in a space only designed for them. A space where they feel embraced to wear wigs or not through wig consultations, to learn and understand how to cope with their hair loss through workshop classes which family members can join as well.
Most importantly support groups/ therapy for not only people with Alopecia or those going through Cancer a space where they don’t have to keep everything inside emotions or thoughts, where they learn they aren’t truly alone. Along with providing spaces for the family/friends, who are struggling with being a witness to someone’s difficult journey or would like to learn more to help the person, to gain advice and to talk to others.
When going through any form of Hairloss, to know you are not alone and to be supported is important in a person’s journey.
Serenova Lock Boutique which has the facilities to support people suffering from hair loss with alopecia or from going through cancer treatment, creating a space with all the amenities people will need, all in a safe environment designed for them. This space will be a wig boutique offering appointment services, wig alterations, styling, and wig advice while having the capacity to host workshops from make-up to wig maintance classes. More importantly, will have room to host support group meetings to connect and support users mental health.
