Loved Cookie! She was so fantastic with helping me out. We picked out a wonderful wig! The best I've felt since my diagnosis

Cookie was wonderful! Lots of great information and good advice to help me with my selection. I am hard to fit as I have a very large head. Unfortunately, the shop had sustained some recent damage which destroyed much of their stock so she did not have anything that would fit my large noggin'. Even so, she spent nearly an hour with me giving me some great advice and then she directed me to another nearby shop where I was able to find what I was looking for.
I am a chemo patient and am rapidly losing what little hair I have left so I was in immediate need of a wig. Otherwise, I probably would have waited for Cookie's stock to replenish simply because her service is so great.

My first time at Billie Jeans was fantastic. The lady who assisted me was very sweet and informative. I was lucky enough to get an appointment with her the same day (yes you have to make an appointment so they can take the time to help pick out the perfect wig for you). Thank you to her!

My mother was very nervous to pick out a wig after losing her hair to chemo. During our appointment, Cookie made us feel like family. She was so attentive and took care of us in every aspect. She made sure my mother was comfortable through every step. She was pampering and made sure my mother knew how beautiful she is. The wigs are fabulous and Billie Jean's is so knowledgeable. They were also the cleanest most careful store you could go into during this global pandemic which also helped to put our minds at ease. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Billie Jean's! Don't waste time going anywhere else.this is the place and treatment you deserve!
