Debra Hughes, D Enchanted, Austin, Texas

Debra Hughes has androgenetic alopecia and for the past eight years, she has worn helper hair and struggled to find great quality pieces. After researching for a few years, in 2019 she decided to venture out on her own to help create pieces to benefit women who desire to have luxurious hair while looking as natural as possible. She continues to create and enhance wig caps and toppers to achieve her goal of providing the most comfortable piece while looking and feeling as beautiful as ever.

Karla Jacobson, Attitudes Studio

Salon & Hair Bar, Hammond, Wisconsin

Karla Jacobson has been busting the myths about small-town stylists and salons since the day she opened Attitudes Studio Salon 18 years ago. As a single mom who didn’t want to drive an hour and a half each way to work in a large market, she set out to prove that small-town stylists have just as much to offer as big-city stylists. She quickly became a sought-after color specialist and never looked back. Besides being an educator, she works behind the chair specializing in luxury services such as color smoothing treatments, eyelash extensions, hair extensions, toppers, and more recently adding certified wig fitter to her accolades. “I want everyone to feel their best when they leave my salon, and I will continue to evolve and offer products and services to make this happen,” she said.

Robyn Kelley, Trendz Salon, Martinez, Georgia

Robyn Kelley opened Trendz Salon in 2010 with the support of her husband, Billy, and her children A.J.,

Austin and Kaylee with a dream of serving the community as well as the needs of clients. The addition of the Wig & Topper Boutique was yet another passion that Kelley wanted to bring to the community. The boutique manager, Lisa Merritt, has been wearing alternative hair since 2017 due to her own hair loss and has been a long-time client and friend of Kelley's. Together, their drive to help anyone suffering from hair loss has made for a safe and welcoming atmosphere where so many are finding their confidence and joy again with the help of alternative hair.
