Since counselors I have seen have never even known how to approach alopecia feelings of loss (of body part?), I think not only cosmetology classes would be useful here. You might need some medical and psychology training, counseling classes, etc. Even art therapist training. Work with chemo patients could be a start, as there are hospital contacts for that more than this spread-out alopecia population.
I don't think cosmetology classes as such would help. I have alopecia and do hair and makeup for a living. Most cosmetology textbooks mention alopecia only in passing and/or have misinformation.

I wore a wig at all times while going to school as wearing hair ornamentation (aka scarves, hats, etc) were not a part of the school uniform and you would be sent home for wearing them. I have to admit I was personally too scared to be bald in hair school... stupid yes and now something I regret.

However, I would just go to the people you talked to let them know your interest and ask how you can help them help others.
Hey Ashley,
