TEAM SHAY: My Wig Lady

My Plastic Surgeon suggested that I go see Violet Deilke, the Hair Loss Specialist (or as I lovingly call her- My Wig lady) before the "craziness of chemo" sets in. Since, Katie & I usually go out of Fridays anyways and Violet had an opening, we decided to make it a date. Thanks Katie for going with me!

After dropping Glory off at Preschool (on time I might add), I picked up Katie and we headed to Minnesota. Violet's place is at the Centre for Hair & Wellness at the Moorhead Center Mall. While we waited (We were early. Can u believe that? Maybe that's a side effect of cancer?), we tried on hats. I've never been a hat person. But they had some really cute stuff there. Lucky for me Katie is a master at seeing something and making up a pattern. [She gets that from her mother. ;)] She has big plans to make me some hats and save me the $30 a pop! Yeah for talented friends! The ladies were very kind and offered us water bottles and everything. Pamper City, here we come! LOL

Then we met with Violet. She is a Breast Cancer Survivor that went through chemo 8 years ago. She got a little emotional as we talked about her hair loss/cancer experience. I know it will be a total shocker but it's kind of exciting! This is my chance to re-live all my hair colors of the past couple years. I'm so excited! Are you ready for me? One thing I learned was that trying on wigs is the FUNest thing ever! How come no one ever told me??? Seriously! Girls- you should grab a girlfriend and go! So much fun! (Do they sell wigs somewhere else here so I can try some on again? LOL) Prepare yourself for the new Shay possibilities! If they didn't cost a fortune, I think I'd buy one of each!
