Dolores is the owner of the Hair Club in Dublin which was Ireland's first purpose built wigs studio. Over the course of the last twenty years Dolores has met and assisted hundreds of amazing woman from across Ireland that have been recently diagnosed with cancer that may require advice on a hair piece or wig during their treatment. 

Recently, Dolores herself was diagnosed with cancer and she decided from the outset that she would like to document her experience of going through chemotherapy, hospital visits and overall progress of how she was dealing emotionally during this difficult phase in her life. With Dolores's particular diagnoses which is bowel cancer, she was informed by the oncologist doctors at St James Hospital in Dublin that she would not lose her hair due to the specific type of chemotherapy treatment she is undergoing. From our experience many clients with Breast cancer will temporarily lose their hair during chemo.   

The Irish government has introduced a €500 per year PRSI hair grant. As the Hair Club in Dublin are registered agents we will organise all the paperwork. Minister Humphreys said:

Our wigs shop in Dublin launched in 2012. We specialise in both human hair wigs and synthetic hair pieces in all the top brands which include Raquel Welch, Ellen Wille and the Mayfair collection.

Clients from all over Dublin City and surrounding areas travel to our Donnybrook shop for the best quality service. Most of our clients have a range of hair issues which include thinning hair, alopecia and hair loss due to chemotherapy hospital treatment.    

Our address is 

Hair Club, 34 Donnybrook Main Street, Dublin D04 P9R6 , Ireland

  

This is Dolores's second video were she discusses her journey to date since her cancer diagnoses. The Hair Club founder also chats about how her chemotherapy hospital treatment is going at St James and the progress she is making.    

Hair Club founder Dolores Mackenzie discussing her recent cancer diagnosis before she starts her chemotherapy at hospital in Dublin in August.  Dolores was diagnosed with bowel cancer nearly three months ago and has since decided to discuss her journey. Dolores also chats about how things are with her family and if she will be losing her hair and will she require a wig. The Hair Club is a wigs store in Dublin and deals with clients that have a variety of hair loss conditions.

Ms. Paddy Pender of Alopecia Ireland said:

“I really hope this new grant will help in some small way in improving the quality of life of people who need it. It is designed to support women or men who lose something that so many of us, on a daily basis, take for granted.”

"Many of us struggle to maintain quality wigs, pieces and prostheses as we live with alopecia. This grant will help in no small way to alleviate some of the stress the condition causes us.

“Alopecia affects people in a variety of ways but all of us know the pain of hair loss. We are grateful for the financial support towards restoring our crowning glories!”

Generally we find clients prefer human hair wigs over synthetic. The reason being is real hair wigs look more natural while also having the flexibility in being able to curl and style them. Unfortunately like all good things after Covid, a quality product like a real hair piece is going to cost you considerable more than two years ago. However, keep in mind human hair will last longer than their fibre counterpart.  

In this video presenter Trish Lynch popped in to see us at our hair studio in Dublin. Trish tried on the latest styles from the Mayfair Human Hair Collection and picked the Angelina wig which was absolutely beautiful.   

We have a fantastic new range of human hair toppers. This is our own brand called Mayfair Collection which comes in a variety of different shapes and sizes. Hair Toppers are very popular for woman that have fine or thinning hair on top as the piece created natural volume. 

The Hair Club are delighted to see all our customers back after the lockdown. We have not only made more salon space for our clients but also added new members to the team to ensure we reach the next level for you our customers. We look forward to seeing both our new and existing clients over the next few weeks.
