Hair We Share is based in Long Island, New York. With over 50 years experience, we are a second generation, family owned custom wig design business. We founded Hair We Share in 2014, after years of working with all types of hair loss including chemotherapy, alopecia, head trauma, accident and burn victims. The wigs we provide can have a retail value of up to $3,000.00.
We started with one teenage girl named Brooke who was severely depressed because of her hair loss. Brooke’s mom called us after Brooke’s face lit up for the first time in years, upon seeing a wig we designed on 20/20. We knew the cost of the wig would be a burden on Brooke’s young family, so we put a post on Facebook asking people to send us their hair and decrease the cost of the wig. Within one week of the post 42 people chopped off their hair and sent it to us. As people sent their hair we found we had created a sense of community for the hair donors and for Brooke. We created our Ponytail Tracking program to help cover our expenses and keep this community growing.
