Best cancer wigs? : The answer is Rodolfo Valentin the designer of the first cranial hair prosthesis in the world. His high quality wigs are designed especially for cancer patients.  I could not afford the French wig, but I was able to afford the Vacuum wig instead, the new design that makes easier to have an alternative to the expensive hair cranial prosthesis, (anyway if I could not afford none, I know Rodolfo will probably approved me to have a free wig through his Sofia’s hair for health), his organization created in memory of his mother, a breast cancer patient. Rodolfo is a sweet heart and (we) cancer patients are priority in his daily agenda.  I paid 1800 dollars, a bargain!!!. These wigs are top quality!. As a matter of fact, Rodolfo Valentin offers everything any woman who is losing hair might want to consider, including small hair additions to any wrap, scarves, turbans (thanks to the hair coming out from the turban I was able to hold my dignity with my husband at bed time.

Thank you a million Rodolfo, you really are an angel guard. I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER!!

I asked myself hundreds of times, is this really happening to me? I going to have chemotherapy? And the worst part of it was to come out of the denial state. I knew that chemo treatments were going to be hard, and the loss of my long hair would add to me the depression. My feminine part, my hair, in its entire highest splendor would fall away! With bravery I approach Rodolfo Valentin after read about his great compassion with cancer people and the best to recreate my hair. Is private atelier is located in a beautiful townhouse, in a very serene and peaceful ambiance. Rodolfo sweet like sugar, gently and respectfully when through the entire process making me feel like “ I was there for a new hairstyle consultation” and for a moment my mind left the reality, and I can say that I was enjoying... My new tresses were absolutely beautiful. I was strengthened and confident. It was a great comfort to actually appear healthy and all together. Thanks Rodolfo Valentin you are part of my most tender memories forever!----

*Erica, a 30 year-old attorney from North Woodmere says her hair began to thin during puberty due to a hormonal imbalance." The indignity of losing your hair as a woman, much less a young woman, was crippling", she says. "I experimented with several cuts and colors to try to camouflage my scalp, but nothing worked well". "Eventually, she visited the Rodolfo Valentin Salon in Cedarhurst. Valentin holds the patent on a technique called Hair Infusion, a hair addition that unlike hair extensions, does not damage the client's hair. Using human hair, individual strands are injected into a clear, paper-thin strip of adhesive and sandwiched between tiny layers of the client's natural hair. He adds a hair prosthesis for scalp coverage, which is custom made and molded to the shape of the head. This technique is used for women facing hair loss due to chemotherapy. "Ideally, a woman will come to me before she undergoes chemotherapy", says Valentin. "I'll sculpt a mold of the shape of her face, hairline and sideburns so that I can create a prosthesis that is absolutely perfect", he says. While hair quality, color and labor ( it takes weeks to finish a prosthetic) all vary, one of Rodolfo's masterpieces can run up to $ 4,000. Hair Infusion, which can include up to seven different colors to give you stunning highlights, will cost about $ 2,800 plus another $ 150 for maintenance every few months. Fortunately, that's not your problem anymore.

 I was very frustrated about my hair loss. I was mutilated!
A very gently person that I never meet, knew about my problem and she sent me the following email: “ I recently went through this experience with my mother. She too found it to be very traumatic losing her hair, but my sister and I, heard of a hair replacement “angel’ right in the heart of New York City.
The angels name is RODOLFO VALENTIN.
