Information

Vancouver Alopecia Areata Support Group

Hello Vancouverites! Connecting is one of the best ways to feel happier and become more informed! Come as you are, whether you are shy or outgoing. This is a genuine and fun group where all of us - new to alopecia or experienced, hair-wearer or au natural, seeking treatment or not - all come together and be supportive, informative, and positive for one another. After 4+ years of running this group, I can say for sure that you'll feel better after a meetup! :)

Come to our monthly meetups, or, start by joining this group and be in the loop of upcoming meetups! Sometimes I include alopecia news / remedy / stories too.

If your kid / teen has alopecia, please contact us and we'll put you in touch with other parents! It'll be, I believe, quite awesome for your child :)

Upcoming Meetups

This group gets together monthly at one of the members' homes - a cozy, positive, and fun environment, for those with alopecia. We are here to support one another, and every meetup has been amazingly mood-lifting.

Join us here and we'll send next meeting details to you in a group email!

You can always get a hold of us via AW messaging or at alopecia.vancouver[at]gmail.com

We are affiliated with CANAAF (Canadian Alopecia Areata Foundation).

Next meet up: We meet about once a month. Please email Tanya at the emil address above!

Oookay so I ordered my last wig (from toplace) in mid January this year, and received it in early to mid May. So about 4 months.

Comment by Tanya on November 19, 2011 at 4:44am

Oh and my hair is from toplace.com. I'll check my emails to figure how long I had to wait last time to receive the order... I believe it was 6 to 8 weeks (not 8 months like I said to Chris - that would be ridiculous now I think about it. Felt like that long though! lol). You'll need to make a custom head template to send in, so buffer that time in too! (Just first time.)

And my eyebrows were done by this Chinese lady - very skilled lady with lots of experience. $350 for the "floating" eyebrows (that's the kind that is by hand instead of a machine), and definitely more natural. Normally $480. After a month you'll need one touch up for $20. After that you should be good for life!

Her English is ok I think.

Thanks again for hosting Chris. It was good to meet you and Dana, and look forward to our next get-together. I really enjoy talking to all of you, and listening to all your stories. Happy Holidays. See you again soon.

Wow it was so much fun last night! Thank you Chris for hosting the gathering at your beeeeautiful home, and it was so great seeing all the new and familiar faces!!

Our next meetup will be in January, either Jana2's (in Kits?) or Dana's (in Maple Ridge).

Thanks Jana2 for letting Cat and I carpool! If we are going to Dana's we should definitely car pool! :)

I love that we gather at a different home each time! Like a mini Naaf meetup - a different city each time! haha.

I hope to have some Vancouver Alopecia Group mini cards by January's meeting, to place in derm's offices, hair piece shops, salons. I think we need a logo! It's not my specialty but I can try. Or, is anyone in the group a graphic designer? :)

xoxoxo
