Here's what people are saying about Always Beautiful & Chao Pelo head wraps

April 4, 2008

Dear Gretchen,

Your products have saved my life. A year ago I began experiencing sudden hair loss. Five doctors later, it appears I have hypothyroidism, but no one is ruling out alopecia areata since I have also experienced hair loss on my arms and legs. Although I still have plenty of length, I have overall thinning on the back of my head, and it's impossible to say whether it will ever grow back. Chao Pelo head wraps let me go out in public without feeling self-conscious. I don't have to perform all sorts of camouflaging techniques with hair spray (and hope there's no wind that day!) I've been able to come to terms with my situation largely because of your products. They are absolutely beautiful and I enjoy coordinating them with my outfits. In fact, my latest order is for my daughter's college graduation and my son's high school graduation.

Chao Pelo has allowed me to get my life back. I don't know if I'll ever get my hair back, but even if I do, I will always be an enthusiastic supporter of your company.

Warm Regards,

Lisa Volker

Hi Jill

I just heard from my sister Jody who told me what she is going to do with the 2nd camouflage scarf. She is going to give it to one of her Guardsman�s 12 year old son (Jody is a Lt. Colonel in the Air force) who has alopecia. The boy liked Jody�s scarf so much that she plans on sewing on his Father�s rank (stripes) on his scarf and she is having her rank sewn on her scarf! I guess one never knows how many people they touch until you hear about things like this!

Thanks for making two more people in California feel good about their situation with nice looking and comfortable head covers!

Ciao,

Thanks very much for my order which I did receive today. This is just a note to say I am delighted with them! I have been out today without my wig for the first time since I lost my hair (6 weeks).

I am going to post your web site on our breast cancer care forum so you will hopefully receive more orders from the UK.

Thanking you once again,

A friend of our family's daughter (from Chicago) sent a beautiful burberry silk head wrap to my mom after she was diagnosed with brain cancer. We looked in stores for head coverings and bought quite a few but the wraps that are made by your company look and fit the best. I ordered two more because it is nice to have a few.

When my Mom was diagnosed with cancer and began radiation and chemo, she was directed to a few places to look at head coverings and given a catalog for wraps, wigs, etc. There is a place in our area which helps those going through treatment. They have many head coverings, wigs, etc. but none like these. If our friend did not send one of your head wraps to my Mom - we would not have known about these. There are so many things out there, but we found these to be easy (unlike bandanas), stylish and pretty. I am glad to let people know about your business!

Thank you for the prompt service. I ordered one Kristen head wrap two weeks ago, and just wore it Saturday. I liked it so much, I ordered 4 more later that day.

They are pretty and very comfortable. I find that they are not scratchy like hats and are easier for me to tie than regular scarves! I hope I like these four as much as my first one!

Thank you,

Hi Jill

I just wanted to let you know that the head scarves arrived safely (a very good DHL delivery to a very remote spot in Hong Kong) and my daughter is delighted with them. She has lost all her hair recently in the course of chemo therapy; she has tried other scarves and wigs but says your head scarves are cool and comfortable and look beautiful. She now wears only them. So many thanks, not least for your perseverance in sorting out the payment.

Hi Jill,

I wanted to let you know that I purchased a scarf for my mother and gave it to her this week as a gift when she finally started losing her hair. She loved the scarf and was especially fond of the design which fit much easier to her head than other scarves that she had purchased. My mom is sometimes picky about things and has been especially so, as far as her hair loss is concerned, so please take that as a huge compliment.

Thanks again for the great product. I would definitely recommend the site to anyone I know in a similar situation.

Hi

I just got my Always Beautiful headwrap and it is so beautiful. I tried it on and fits wonderfully. I have been fighting cancer and I have a wedding to go to. I have not been able to find nice scarves or ones that fit my head decently. In my cancer center they have your web site page so I thought I would check it out. It was exactly what I wanted. Thank you for giving me the boost I need.

Hi Jill

Just wanted to let you know that I received my order today. Wish I had found your web site months ago. Love the 2 head wraps I ordered (both Kristens). They fit my head so perfectly unlike the other head covers I had gotten here in San Francisco that just don't fit right. They are attractive and your brand "Always Beautiful" describes your products so appropriately.

Thanks and Regards,

I just purchased one of your Head wraps this weekend at the Greektown Art show, I had to send this message to let you know the wrap is ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!!

Hey All at Chao Pelo...

As promised here is a photo of a perfect way to use a Chao Pelo head wrap... "After a couple days in the back country there is only one way to have a good hair day... the Chao Pelo way!" This head wrap was an excellent addition to my backpacking gear. Looking forward to purchasing another one; as soon as the "Red Bandana" addition is created.

Thanks,

Hello!

I purchased a wrap from you at the Village Art Fair and LOVE it!!! I get many compliments each time I wear my Chao Pelo wrap. It's great for the days you don't feel like doin' your "do" and days you're feeling a bit sassy! LOVE IT!

Thanks for a great product!

Dear Jill,

I have hair!!! I have been "naked" (just my head:-) for a few weeks already. Your headwrap and an occasional scarf was all that I wore during my hairless days. The headwrap was by far the most comfortable and attractive head-covering that I wore. I received many compliments on it. Thank YOU.

I really should have bought a second one but that red one went with almost everything and I loved it!!

Dear Gretchen and Karen,

Thank you so much for the gorgeous head scarf you made for me. I can tell it's for me because it's my absolute favorite color, lavender. I love it and hope to wear it throughout a long, healthy life!

Thanks,

Hello,

My cousin sent me one of your hats as a gift--burgundy w/ thin gold stripe, black inside, tie in back, cute hand-charm stitched on one side. I really love wearing it, and would be interested in buying another like it (perhaps in a different color--some kind of blue?)

I'd also love to see other hats/wraps that you have designed. Do you have a catalog? Or might it be possible to send a few digital photos by email? Along with price info etc.

Thank you so much.

With kind regards,

Hi Jill and Gretchen,

I really enjoyed meeting you both today. I was so excited to get home and put on one of my new wraps! I am wearing the cotton one and I love it. Not only does it look good, I can feel air coming in and out from around the ears, which feels great!

Thank you for your talent and compassion. I wish you the best with this wonderful endeavor. I am sure I will be in touch in the future.

I read the article in the News/FreePress on Oct. 11 and think you are doing something that is really sorely needed! My wife is fighting ovarian cancer and really needs just what you are producing.

Thank you!

Hello. I read the article on your head wraps in the Detroit Free Press/News on October 11. You have done a terrific job and I am very interested in purchasing one for a friend. How could I get some more information that would allow me to choose one right for her? Any help you can give would be appreciated.
