HAIR FOR EACH OTHER
Over the next few months, we will be running a campaign to shout about the amazing hairdressers, barbers and stylists who support us - and to also invite others to join the LPT family.
Hair For Each Other is a campaign that will rightly shine a light on those unsung heroes who play a crucial part in helping us provide our free wig provision service - and also highlight the best ways for hair professionals to support us.

We have fantastic, supportive wig fitters across the UK and Ireland to ensure anyone that needs one our LPT wigs doesn't have to travel too far.
