Wig Boutique

Wig Boutique-1

Hair loss is one of the most visible and emotionally challenging parts of cancer treatment. A wig goes far beyond appearance, it can restore a sense of normalcy, rebuild confidence and provide genuine relief from the emotional weight of the cancer journey. For even a few hours a day, it can help someone feel like themselves again. And that matters more than words can say.

Helping restore a sense of normalcy and confidence. 

In June 2024, after years of dedication and planning, Cleveland Clinic Akron General (CCAG) opened a long-awaited Wig Boutique inside the Professional Office Building near McDowell Cancer Center, right where patients are already coming for treatment and appointments. No extra trips. No added exhaustion. Just a beautiful, welcoming space designed entirely around them.

The Boutique is volunteer-run and completely FREE to patients. Inside, you'll find: 

  • a thoughtfully curated selection of wigs accommodating a wide range of hair textures, cuts, and colors

  • hats

  • care kits

  • accessories

A cosmetologist is available to help find the style that feels right, so patients are never navigating that moment alone.

Thank you to our partner

TESTIMONIAL
A blessing and celebrating a special day

"I cannot thank you enough for your generosity and kindness providing me with a wig.  My son’s wedding was in the middle of my treatment and my hair was gone!! I don’t know what I would have done without your support. Truly a blessing."

– Patient, Summa Health Cancer Institute
