One of our regulars today phoned to reschedule her appt & told us she has breast cancer and will def. lose all her hair during treatment. She has the most beautiful long thick hair & wants her stylist to cut it into a long bob first, then a pixie crop as it starts to come out.
She is such a lovely lady and I think it will be really emotional doing it. Her stylist lost her mum to cancer when she was young so she was already in tears and I don't know how she will manage to do it with out breaking down which obviously won't be helpful for the client.
Just wondered if any one has any advice for handling such a sensitive situation as never had to do anything like this before.
I was thinking of letting her know she could donate her hair to the little princess foundation as it might make her feel she is doing something positive and telling her to go on a hair adventure and try out as many styles as she can as she has probably only ever had long hair and would have been unlikely to cut it if it weren't for this. I don't really want to charge her for cutting it all off, I thought I could suggest she donates the bill to a cancer charity of her choice.
If anyone has been through anything similar Inwould love to know the best way to deal with it.
