Early Media Attention

| Hair Matters | Press

NewsCenter Maine was one of the first media outlets to cover Hair Matters, shortly after it was formed and was running its program for the Cancer Community Center in South Portland.

“One of the most traumatic parts of going through treatment for breast cancer, or any cancer, is losing your hair. It’s such a part of our identity, and without it, people sometimes struggle with self-esteem,” wrote NewsCenter’s Cindy Williams. “There is a hairdresser in South Portland who understands this all too well.”
