Mission

Ahead of Beauty is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing 100% human hair cranial prosthesis to those undergoing chemotherapy, radiation treatments and those living with alopecia. Our goal is to empower patients to feel more comfortable, confident and beautiful, should they chose not to wear their heads bald or use head wraps. We understand that experiencing cancer and alopecia can be a traumatic experience for many people, as a person's hair can be deeply tied to their sense of self and confidence. Their "crown," as it were. With that in mind, we want to provide wig options for those who otherwise cannot afford the cost of a high-quality, natural-looking, human hair wig.

Policies and processes
  • We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
  • We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
  • We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
