About Me

I established “The Hair Lady” wig shop located in State College Pennsylvania in 2001. I started my business primarily offering hair pieces to busy women needing a great hair style quickly including cheer, twirl and dance teams. Not long after that I expanded products and services to cater to women dealing with hair loss, “bad hair day” issues and theater and costume wigs.

Having experienced hair loss myself I know personally how stressful, isolating and devastating to a woman’s emotional being it can be. Hair is often considered a woman’s crowning glory and it’s no secret that if you are having a bad hair day, you just don’t feel confident, pretty and joyful.

Through my years of experience as “The Hair Lady”  I have met many women and men who are living daily “bad hair days”.  They feel depressed, a lone, unaccepted or hide behind their hair simply because they don’t know is help available.  There are a variety of beautiful hair accessories and replacement systems that could quickly help them regain their confidence and self worth.

With a background in cosmetology, business management, formal training from major wig designers and years of experience I am able to offer private and confidential consultations helping a wide variety of clients with their hair and beauty needs.

I am a self taught jewelry designer and through the encouragement of friends and family I offer my designs to the public as a fundraiser for missions to work with orphans in the Dominican Republic.

I feel it is important to be involved in the community to offer support and build relationships.  Every month I offer two free workshopsfor the American Cancer Society’s Look Good… Feel Better Program.  Look Good… Feel Better is a non-medical, brand-neutral public service program that teaches beauty techniques to cancer patients to help them manage the appearance-related side effects of cancer treatment.

In my free time, I enjoy change and being creative weather it’s with hair, makeup, arts such as photography, jewelry design, chainsaw carving, decorative painting, decorating, organizing or developing my website. I like learning, the challenge of trying something new but, most of all, I like the people I meet though it.

Some of the other organizations I support are: American Cancer Society, Bob Perks Fund, Colleen Bonnivier Memorial, Girls on the run, Look Good Feel Better, Habitat for Humanity, NAPW, PA Breast Cancer Coalition, PSU Thon, WINGS and Missions to help those in need.

I am honored to be a beauty resource for you. Clients come as strangers and leave with a hug from a new friend that understands and offers support when you need it. Call me to request your private appointment or request online.
