Helping patients through hair loss at Sentara’s Unique Boutique
Sentara Virginia Beach General Hospital
Virginia Beach, Va.
The Unique Boutique at Sentara Virginia Beach General Hospital is a store with an exclusive clientele. Shoppers aren’t celebrities or fashion icons; instead, they’re patients who are experiencing medical-related hair loss. The shop feels cozy, not clinical, and is staffed by volunteers who have been where their current clients are now. Best of all? Everything is free.
The boutique offers not only high-quality wigs (which can cost $300-$600 and are not typically covered by insurance), but also handmade port pillows, scarves and hats, all of which are donated. Each appointment is private, and the shop serves anyone who is experiencing medical-related hair loss, not just those receiving treatment at Sentara.
