Who I Serve & What I Make — Cranial Prostheses for Black Clients Navigating Medical Hair Loss
Black folx navigating medical hair loss, served in person.
I serve Black folx — across the full gender and sexuality spectrum — navigating medical hair loss: cancer treatment, alopecia, scarring, traction damage, and other clinical thinning. The work happens in person, at my private studio in Arlington, Virginia. The people I serve want a cranial prosthesis that mimics their own natural texture — curly, coily, kinky — so they can feel like themselves, not a version of themselves someone else decided on.
Cranial prostheses — medical wigs — built for the healing scalp.
Custom cranial prostheses (medical wigs) designed with the compromised, healing scalp as the first consideration — not an afterthought. I work with raw virgin hair for texture fidelity and styling flexibility, so the unit moves and adapts with the person wearing it. The goal is not only restoration. It is joy, experimentation, and a sense of self reclaimed in the middle of a hard season.
The clinic I wish she had been offered.
My mother, Donna Jean, spent eight years fighting multiple myeloma. I watched her lose her hair — and I watched what the illness asked of her: the appointments, the scans, the days her body would not do what she wanted it to do. I watched my father carry the quiet weight of caregiving.
Two things, and they compound.
Neither alone is uncommon. Together — clinical rigor and genuine sanctuary, aimed squarely at Black textured hair in medical loss — they are the practice.
The Clinical Foundation
Licensed Cosmetologist (DC, VA, MD), Licensed Cosmetology Educator (VA), Certified Cranial Prosthesis Engineer, and Student of Trichology (IAT). Scalp health leads the design rather than following it.
The Sanctuary
The studio is designed for the nervous system, not just the appointment — considered light, sound, plants, materials, a clean scent. Footies, a blanket, and masks provided. Care for body, mind, and spirit.
The Caregiver, Included
The person navigating loss rarely navigates alone. Caregivers are welcome in the consultation and the fitting — because I watched what caregiving costs, and it should not go unseen.
The range to match the person, not the other way around.
No one navigates alone, unless they choose to.
Inquiry
I verify your insurance within a 48-hour window.
Confirmation
I confirm the appointment, send the welcome guide, and offer transportation and an optional pre-consult.
Assessment & Design
One dedicated hour: a mini scalp assessment and design with the Sherri Renée Designer Toolkit and Legacy Collection sample units, in-suite.
The Estimate
A written plan, shown with and without insurance, and with financing.
Production
A 50% deposit places the order. I provide the superbill and reimbursement guidance, and send status updates through production.
The Reveal
The unit glowing on the block, the Donna Jean Restoration Kit laid out, cut and customization completed live.
Aftercare
Check-ins on a schedule you set, then maintenance every three months.
Caregivers are welcome throughout.

Scalp care, custom cranial prostheses, and medical wigs — for alopecia and oncology.
Unit Color — Biomimetic Color Artistry

Care & Advocacy
In-network with Johns Hopkins US Family Health Plan. No one navigates the insurance process alone unless they choose to.
