When
a woman experiences hair loss, it can be more traumatic
than for a man. Afterall, women are not supposed to go
bald. But 20-million women suffer from hair loss with
conditions like Alopecia and hormone deficiencies that
sometimes is permanent. And for those undergoing chemotherapy
or radiation treatments, the temporary loss of hair is
almost a certainty. While some women cope by covering
up with a scarf or perhaps a 'not so appealing' wig,
many choose to take control and do something more positive
about it so that they can go on with their normal routines
again.
The
two most common and preferred methods of hair replacement
for our times are Hair Integration and Hair Prosthesis.
While the former is used to replace hair lost in a
localized part of the scalp, the latter provides fuller
and even total scalp coverage. Depending on your need,
these two distinctly different approaches offer satisfying
results, and Riviera is at the forefront of the new
technologies for these cosmetic solutions.
Both
Hair Integration and Hair Prosthesis help you regain
not only your hair, but your self-confidence and a
rejuvenated appearance as well. Imagine, being able
to wear your hair in a fashionable style that's so
natural looking and flattering to you again! You can
shower... jog... work out...dance...sleep...and even
get up close and personal with your new hair without
worry or feeling self-conscious because it’s
real human hair. Your hair system from Riviera washes
easily, dries quickly and needs minimal care. And we
can help you be yourself again in a matter of weeks!
Hair
Integration is not a hair extension or a wig. Rather,
it is the integrating of new real hair with your existing
hair in a particular area of the scalp to cover a balding
area or add fullness as desired. Riviera's matching
texture and color to your own growing hair is so natural
that you can't distinguish the two --- because there's
virtually no difference. Your new hair will bounce,
turn and move just as your own hair does. You can brush
it, pull it and run your fingers through it without
seeing a difference.
If
you are undergoing medically-related chemotherapy or
radiation treatments, and feel uneasy about the resulting
hair loss, Riviera can help with a comforting solution
until your own hair grows back. Designed specifically
to help women get through this tough transition period
while on the road to recovery, we specialize in hair
systems that offer you natural looking, personalized
cut and styled hair replacement to match your individual
taste and color.
Using breakthrough procedures, we re-create a natural look of the
scalp that you can part just like your own hair. Depending on your
budget, we can customize hair replacement in the precise style,
hair and fit to your scalp's shape and contour --- or you can choose
from among our many optional quality systems that can be tailored
to your needs. All wear comfortably, and are unaffected by dirt
and body oils.
"One
of the hardest things in dealing with my
cancer was knowing I'd lose my hair. I did
not want to look sick and anything less than
having an undetectable wig would be worse
than being bald. When my hairdresser referred
me to Riviera, I didn't know what to expect.
But when I spoke to Jack the owner, his understanding
and kindness relieved me of my apprehension
and fears. Both he and an expert stylist
created a hair system that was cut and styled
exactly to my liking, and made me look like
nothing about me had changed. In fact, as
odd as it may sound, my oncologist remarked
how unusual it was to still have all my own
hair and was amazed to learn it wasn't. Riviera
made what could have been a very negative
experience into a reassuring and even positive
one. I walked into their office as a nervous
cancer patient, but left a grateful person."
