Boca Raton, FL—
Hair Club for Kids, the charitable offshoot of Hair Club, the
25-year-old, internationally recognized hair restoration company, announces a
program for some very special children. Since 1992, Hair Club has been
offering free hair restoration services to children who suffer from diseases
where the illness or treatment causes hair loss, or alopecia.
“We were looking for a way to give back to the community and there really
is nothing better than to help the children,” said Sy Sperling, the founder of
Hair Club. “We couldn’t think of a more deserving group than the children
who have experienced hair loss on top of battling diseases.”
Hair Club for Kids is a non-profit organization funded entirely by Hair Club for Men, Ltd.
Incorporated. It is available, at no charge, to children ages 6 – 17 years old, who suffer
hair loss due to cancer treatments and other diseases.
Hair Club can be accessed through 1-888-888 8986 or through the Hair Club for Kids
Hotline at 800-269-7384. With over 85 hair loss centers all across the country, Hair Club
is able to set up appointments with its Hair Club for Kids specialists to assess individual
problems and provide free treatment.
A recent participant in Hair Club for Kids, 17-year old Mariam Awad was stricken with
Alopecia Totalis, which is a disease that results in total hair loss. Mariam states, “Hair Club
for Kids made me feel pretty again. It was so cool to have my hair back. All I really
wanted was to fit in with everyone else at school. Now that I feel better about the way
I look, I just want to let others know that Hair Club is here to help kids who have the
same problem.”

hair loss. Those organizations include:
