Empire Students Make Wig For Salon Guest With Alopecia
When Empire Beauty School Executive Director Susan Kettenburg received a phone call from a woman inquiring about where to purchase a wig, she knew just who could answer her
question.
Maria Class, an educator at Empire Beauty School in Lehigh Valley, PA spoke with the caller (Wanda) who explained how an illness had left her with hair loss. She was looking for recommendations on purchasing a wig. Ms. Class explained to Wanda that if she would be willing to be a model for her students she would provide her with a wig, however, the students would do the work.
Ms. Class spoke with her students and they all agreed they wanted to help. Wanda came in for a consultation, had her head measured and picked her colors. The students donated all the hair used to make 2 wigs. Once the work was complete, Wanda was invited to class to receive her wigs. She was so appreciative and grateful for the kindness our students showed her.
Making the day even better, local high school students who came in for Experience Day got to be a part of the excitement. Great job goes to our students and staff at Empire Beauty School, Lehigh Valley for making an impact and improving lives through the world of beauty!
