Chemotherapy cranial hair prosthesis are Rodolfo Valentin contribution to cancer patients who have lost their own hair as a result of chemotherapy or radiation treatments and cannot afford hair prostheses of their own.
The campaign’s initiator, the New York City hairdresser Rodolfo Valentin, named by the press as “the New York society hairstylist” and “the hair color authority”, founded this organization in the memory of his mother Sofia, who died from breast cancer.
Working with cancer care groups in the New York metropolitan area, Rodolfo Valentin, owner of Rodolfo Valentin Salon, Spa & Hairpieces, in the south shore of Long Island and Rodolfo Valentin Salon in Manhattan, premieres his Yearlong charitable “Sofia’s Hair 4 health” campaign. Valentin is providing a customized wig to one cancer patient each month. The multiple awards winning hair designer is tailoring each wig to complement the recipient’s unique features. The monthly wig beneficiary nominated by friends, family or cancer care specialists must be a Long Island, Queens or New York City resident who is fighting cancer and is within the “low-income” bracket. **
“In celebration of our 25th” year in New York”, said Rodolfo Valentin, who hails from Buenos Aires, “and in loving memory of my dear mother, I am happy to help some fellow New Yorkers feel more special. Today more than ever, we have to assist and support each other, and I hope my wig donations will bring some sunshine to some special people”.
Rodolfo made his first custom-made wig for his beloved mother, Sofia, who lost her hair while undergoing chemotherapy treatments. “ My mother was so saddened and frustrated, I just had to do something to help her”, said Rodolfo. She was the inspiration for this first wig creation and his subsequent perfection of prosthetic hairpieces. Now, through the “Sofia’s hair 4 health” campaign, he is helping men and women take one step forward in their walk to wellness.
Friends, family or medical caretakers can nominate a person in need who has suffered hair loss due to cancer treatment.
