Hi - if you still live in San Diego and would like to meet some local folks with Alopecia, we're having a lunch to celebrate International Alopecia Day, Saturday, August 4, 2012.

We're having lunch (margaritas if you want) at Tio Leo's Mexican restaurant at 3510 Valley Centre Drive in Del Mar (It's actually in Carmel Valley, right off Hwy 56 and I-5). You can view their menu here: http://www.tioleos.com/

They're not charging us for the room, but there is a $10 per person (food and beverages total) minimum charge.

Gathering time is 11:30am - it will be casual and will continue as long as we're having fun. I'll bring my "International Alopecia Day" banner and anyone who wants to be in the photos for our annual YouTube video can. If you don't want to be in the photos, that's fine, too.
We have a private room in the back of the restaurant. Come bald, in a scarf, or in a wig - or in your hair if you have it!

Please let me know if you're planning on attending so I can give the

Mary

Hi nancy, I hope you dont mind if I ask you some questions about your freedom wig or vacuum wigs in general. I have found a 'temporary' solution for my hair but its not ideal. I was interested in getting a vacuum wig but was told by various companies that the vaccuum fit might not work on my because I have hair still and will have regrowth. How much hair would you say you still had before you shaved and brought a vacuum? do you have regrowth? -does it affect the vacuum fit?
Thanks
Rose

Hi Nancy,

Just wondering - what density of hair on your Freedom wig did you get? Did you find it to be too much hair or just right?

Hi Nancy,

Thanks for the information. I've herd nothing but good things about the Freedom Wigs. Could I ask - did you find your synthetic wigs were itchier after you shaved your hair for the freedom wig? I'm wondering if I should be prepared for 4 months of terrible itchiness....

Hi,
thanks ever so much for the information. at the momment I have some hair and obviously no wig at the momment, I want to get a wig and then shave my hair when it arrives but apparently when you make measurments or a template of your head and then shave your hair they dont match so the wig will be to big-I dont know how to get round this? have you been in the same boat? I cant shave it with no wig. I wanted to invest in a thinskin or freedom in the future but cant afford to shave my head at the momment with no wig.
Thanks for any help.

Hi nancy,
noticed you have just recieved your freedom wig and are shaving your head, was your head shaved before you got your freedom wig? What wig did you wear before you recieved your freedom?
Thanks,
Rose

Hi Nancy!
i spotted your picture on the front page of alopecia world and though, wow, her hair looks great...she can't have alopecia! Wow, you have a freedom wig...I am collecting my first ever freedom wig this Friday and I am sooo excited! hope to look as good as you very soon! At the mo I wear Rene of Paris wigs, which are really nice and have really eased me in to it all since i lost my hair 18 months ago, but i am really lookign forward to my freedom wig. Look forward to being able to wear my hair back more easily and also wear my glasses a bit more too as currently they don't fit with my wig on.
Anyway, was just a quick hello! Hope you are well,
Kate

Hi Nancy,
I read on here that you have a freedom wig. I am interested in getting one of these also. How much did your wig cost?
Thanks,
Kimberly
