We love to hear from BeauBeau™ wearers who enjoy the comfort and style of our products. Here are a few letters we'd like to share with you.
"My 5 year old daughter, Madison, suffers from Alopecia. Anybody that suffers from Alopecia directly or in-directly knows that self esteem and confidence is one of the biggest hurdles."
Susan,
I can't thank you enough for the courage you've given me during my chemo treatment. I beat cancer once, and was diagnosed again last October. But, losing my hair wasn't as daunting the second time around because of my beabeaus. I'm ordering three more right now (well, two...maybe three... and a night time hat; my head gets so cold). Using a normal scarf or a wig is so inconvenient when I can be comfortable and beautiful in a beaubeau.
Thank you so much for the service you provide for women like me :)
Kristin, OR
Just wanted to say thank you so much. My sister got her scarves yesterday and she was so excited about everything. She mentioned how beautifully they were wrapped and boxed; it really made her happy in such an unhappy time. Thanks for the extra service you put in -plus she loved them and said they were so comfortable and glamorous she absolutely loved wearing them. She has some wigs but feels fake in them, so these are perfect.

Thank you for your prompt reply. I am so psyched about the Dazzling Disco Ruby because it looks spectacular! It will go with my transitional attire (now through April) for Spring. I'm a new cancer patient, second round of chemo coming up this Thursday. The treatments I can stand (although they are rough) but this hair thing is really messing with me but all will be okay. Thank you ever so much for having the foresight, ingenuity and fashion sense to create such a wonderful product. Got my first two shipped about two weeks ago, just tried them on for my daughter, niece, and granddaughter yesterday. They all gave them the thumbs up!! Just a quick footnote, besides loving your wonderful product I was very moved and intrigued by your personal story which I learned of a few months ago. When setting out to find suitable head coverings I had already had my fill of the grandma-ish turban types that I kept seeing and I detest the fake look of wigs. Besides being a cancer patient, I am a student at FIT and have been a life long consumer who has always known what looks good.
I figured I could keep my self esteem in tact as long as I could continue to wear my nice clothes and find a head covering that actually looks great.Thanks again Susan, you are such a special lady : )
Best wishes for much continued success!

Dear Susan,
I just wanted to say thank you for the beautiful scarf that you sent me and to again express my appreciation for your generosity. The scarf is absolutely gorgeous and comfortable and I was so happy when I got several compliments on it. It made me feel stylish again and I felt fabulous. Thank you again for helping me to continue to live my life with confidence and to not letting my cancer keep me from doing things! Thank you again so very much and I wish you all the best in this New Year!

Susan,
Your "beaubeau's" have played an integral role helping Sophie develop into the confident, grounded, beautiful, sporty and glamorous 11.5 year old that she is!
Sophie's Mom, CA
I have purchased 10 beau beau's and love every one of them. I am currently going through breast cancer treatments and have opted to wear my beau beau's in lieu of wigs, hats, etc. They are gorgeous and I get compliments daily. I've also sent several ladies to your website as a result of all the compliments. Thanks!
Debbie, FL
Susan,
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in April at the age of 33 - I'm a wife and mom of two wonderful boys (ages 4 and 6 years). I began chemotherapy in June and wore beau beaus ALL summer long. I thought I'd be a wig person but I've only wore a wig 5 times since I lost my hair in July. I bought a few beau beaus and then fell in love with them so bought more - I have quite the collection! People ask me about them everywhere I go and even still today - 6 months later - people stop and ask me where I get my scarves. My radiation nurse/tech stopped me today to comment about them and ask where I get my fabulous scarves.
I'm currently finishing up the last of my radiation treatment this week - hooray! I have some hair growth but I still wear my trusted beau beaus every day. I imagine it will be another month or two before I can sport even a very short hair style. Until then, I'm quite comfortable in my beau beau.
Thanks!
Amy. VA
Hi Susan,
Thank you for YOU! I love my Beaubeau's! I don't know what I would have done without them. I bought wigs and just felt stupid in them and tried your scarves and have been a customer ever since! Thank you!
Gail Solon, OH
Thank you for making such a wonderful product. It was a godsend during treatment. Cute and comfy. My three scarves are now with another friend who is fighting cancer - she is the 5th person to borrow these scarves from me in the past year and one half. I always send a link to your page to anyone I know that has been diagnosed with cancer and faces chemo and hair loss. The BeauBeau makes it SO much easier. Thanks so much and Viva La Cure!!
Dana, CA
I am a breast cancer survivor and became a HUGE fan of the Beau Beau over the last year!! I probably have 20 of them. This is one of my favorite pictures of me sailing with four of my best friends/neighbors...these ladies were instrumental in my recovery. Being able to participate in fun activities like sailing with friends is so important when you're in treatment. My Beau Beau's always made me feel confident and attractive and I feel like this picture portrays the empowerment that I felt wearing it!
Best wishes
Laure, New Orleans, LA
Hi Susan,
I received my beaubag and I'm absolutely thrilled with it! I have received compliments when I have been out. Thanks for the sample of hair shampoo and conditioner really nice. Great products.
A happy customer
Wendy, Canada
Susan,
Just a quick note to let you know what a great product you have produced. This is my second time with breast cancer. I just couldn't stand the wig the first time so I was constantly fussing with scarves. You have designed a scarf that stays on my head and best of all looks amazing!! I opened the box in the chemo waiting room and had passed out all the enclosed cards within minutes. I will definitely be ordering more! Oh, thanks for making the size large!!
Debbie, PA
Thank you so very much for this kind email. Your scarves have been a tremendous help to my little sister, and I will be forever grateful to you for having decided to share them with her and many other cancer patients. We keep looking for more colors and patterns, now specially the very dark browns and the silk blacks. Congratulations on your choices, and thank you for all your care and attention.
Catarina, NY
I received a lovely scrunchie in the mail with a note that Love Bird and Black on Black scrunchies were being made. I am so overwhelmed with this thoughtfulness, thank you! I only wear beaubeau scarves! Every day at work or other places, someone comes up to me and tells me how beautiful they look. They have certainly marked my journey with their uniqueness; and I felt so pretty in them. Thank you for such a wonderful gift to all of us. I want to order some more scarves as I believe in January I will have enough hair to go without them. People have already suggested that I still wear them occasionally and I believe that I will. At least, to celebrate each year I am cancer free or in the month of October.
Take care and thank you again, for making a difference.
Jean, PA
I love my 8 beaubeaus, they have made my struggle with breast cancer and going through the hair loss so much easier. My hair is growing back and am looking forward to the transition scarves next. Thank you Susan for all of the great choices and always answering all my questions when i call you to order.
Lana, FL
My sister was just diagnosed with Leukemia and loosing her hair was traumatic. When I went looking for head wear I was disappointed. The material used and styles made them matronly and outdated. Then I came across your web site and WOW, this is it! I ordered two right away and now this second order. She loves the style, and ease of use. We will be back! Thank you so much.
Lora. NY
I cannot tell you how many times I have been stopped and asked about the scarves. People have commented on how beautiful and flattering they are. When I no longer need the scarves, I plan on donating them to the cancer clinic where I receive my treatments so others may enjoy them to. Thank you for offering such a fine product - I cannot stop buying them!
Pat, TN
I saw the 4women.com web site in 2005 and immediately fell in love with the Beaubeau design. I had lost all my hair (for the second time) to AU, but at that time, the idea of not wearing a wig seemed totally impossible to me. As beautiful as I thought the scarves were, I believed I had no choice but to dress my head in someone's else's hair. A lot of someone's, actually, when one thinks how many different ponytails make up a wig.
Then in June of this year, I suffered an extreme wig meltdown in the form of complete heat exhaustion after wearing my wig for a leisurely stroll on a ninety-plus degree day. Never had I hated my wigs as much as I did then. My heart raced, and I had to sit and wait out an extreme hypoglycemic attack - all over a fifteen-minute walk!
That did it. Enough, said I. The next day, with my only cotton scarf wrapped around my head, I went on Susan's web site and ordered three Beaubeau scarves. Susan had suggested I try just one to see if I liked it. Heck with that, said I again. As I waited for my order, I washed and packed away my wigs. It was very hard and scary, going "out there" wearing just a scarf or a hat, but since everyone who knows me knows that I am a bald chick, I decided to trust them and trust myself to be accepted without my wigs.
Two days after I placed my order, my first three Beaubeau scarves arrived. I put one on and have never looked back. Ever. Each time I place one on my head, (and my collection has grown big-time!), I feel pretty, stylishly feminine, and a bit on the daring side, too. One of my best friends gave me what I call her "bag o' scrunchies," and I mix them up with my scarves, as well as mix up the ones that come with all the Beaubeaus, too.
For the first time in five grueling years of trying to find my old self by wearing a wig, I realized that I don't need to do that at all, because truth be told, I never went anywhere, did I? I just needed to discover that, and every day now, when I look in my mirror, I think, bless you, Susan. We've never met, but you saved me. Pinkie swear.
Terese Weir, IL
Hi Susan,
Thank you for your beautiful scarves. I just returned to work after being off 9 months and I wasn't comfortable wearing a wig. I feel so much more comfortable wearing the beaubeau scarves. They teased me today at work that I'm color coordinating all my outfits to my scarves. Why wouldn't I? :-) just wanted you to know how much I appreciate you providing a way for women to feel beautiful during a very dark moment in their lives. I tell everyone to check out your website.
Blessings to you!
Traci
Hi Susan,
I love my beau beaus and went to a seminar at Mass General Hospital on Monday, and all of the women in the seminar were commenting on how much they loved my beau beau (I wore the Counted Blessings). They all asked where I got it and said that it looked fantastic. Needless to say, you are going to be getting a lot of orders coming from Massachusetts. Also, I gave your website address to my nurse at Blue Cross and Blue Shield who said that she would pass along the information to her other patients who were inquiring about alternative head coverings. She thought that the beau beaus were so cute and stylish!! Finally, I wore my newest beau beau (Essentially Chic) to chemo today and got a lot more inquiries from the ladies at the cancer center-1 woman ordered 3 right away and was going home to order the Essentially Chic one that I was wearing. Just an FYI for you, your product is great and I think the beau beau revolution is starting up here in Massachusetts!! Kindest Regards
Tracy, MA
Hi Susan,
I just wanted to let you know that your scarves had made one of the most difficult challenges in my life easier. I have breast cancer and I am in the middle of chemo. The hardest part was losing my hair. I have a wig as you know it can be itchy, hot and can do the "wig creep" so that your part ends up in the wrong place. I ordered two of the Beaubeaus and I love them. I have people compliment me on my beautiful scarves and so it gives me that confidence that I seem to have lost when my hair fell out. I just ordered three more scarves and I will definitely give the brochures and tell others about your great product. Thanks so much.
Val, AK
Dear Susan, Thank you so much for sending my Ocean View beau beau in time for my holiday! It arrived yesterday and we are leaving this afternoon. Also it is very kind of you to let me keep Orange Blossom - it is not the colors I would have ever picked, however when I tried it on with my holiday clothes it looked lovely! Thank you again for your beautiful beau beaus - this past year has been a true learning curve and I really don't know how I would have coped without them. I still find wearing a wig very difficult and false - the only time I feel like me is when I am wearing my beau beaus and so that is what I do. My beau beaus have given me the confidence to do what makes me feel best, everyone is different and we all have to find our own way of coping with whatever comes our way. Thank you again.
Dorothy, UK
Hi Susan,
I ordered 4 scarves recently for my sister-in-law who is going through chemo for breast cancer. She is 31 and absolutely loves the scarves! They are beautiful and so easy to wear! We are from Houston and she goes to MD Anderson. Today at her appointment so many women complemented her on the super cute leopard Beau Beau she was wearing. The ladies crowded around her and went nuts over it! If you could please send me more brochures and she will pass them out to everyone at her appointments! You have truly made the devastation of losing your hair a fun and stylish experience for my sister-in-law Misty.
Thanks so much and God bless!
Shelby, TX
Thank you so much for your wonderful scarves. I am so comfortable and feel so pretty in the scarf my daughter ordered for me. Thank you! This from the woman who would NEVER go out of the house in anything but a full wig. I have this day ordered additional ones and cannot wait to try them all.
Eileen, NJ
Dear Susan
I bought a beaubeau in May as I was going on a cruise. It was beautiful black and white. It was both comfortable and stylish. My hair is growing again but I shall take my beaubeau with me on holiday to Spain next week to protect from the sun. I am now recovered and planning to return to work thank you for the beautiful head wear which made such a difference to my self esteem while undergoing chemotherapy.
Janice, England
I just love these scarves, so does everyone else. I don't even want to wear that wig! Shower, dressed and my scarf in 10 minutes - what could be better than that! They make a real statement and are just so beautiful - when people acknowledge them I point to it and say "I earned this" - thank you for caring enough to make something so beautiful during a time that can be so challenging. I am attending a new support group on Monday and will be sure to take your handouts - I will wear Hearts of Fire with a sleeveless red shell - outstanding!
Jean, PA
I would like to extend my appreciation to you for making such lovely headwear for us chemo-patients. I have found your scarves to not only be stylish and beautiful, but comfortable and cool to wear. I am one of the people who are unable to stand wearing a wig or hat at the best of times, but have no problem with the BeauBeau scarves. A wonderful product and a very thoughtful idea. Also, your customer-service is second to none! I have had many compliments on my BeauBeau's (I am the proud owner of 7 now)... And recommend them to anyone having a hair loss problem. I have not been able to find anything to compare with them in Canada where I live, and am more than willing to pay the USA exchange to have these lovely scarves.
Linda, Canada
LOVE LOVE LOVE your scarves, you're brilliant. You make bald beautiful. Thank you Susan. XO
Pat
I just finished chemo and have worn beaubeaus throughout treatment. Just wanted to share with you that I receive compliments on a daily basis about the beaubeau. I love them, and so does everyone else it seems! My hair is just starting to come back, but wanted to thank you sincerely for the wonderful, beautiful product.
Hannah
Dear Susan,
I'm attaching a picture of myself for you to add to your picture gallery. I totally love my headscarves and have had only compliments from everyone about how good I look with them. I've now finished all my treatment for breast cancer and my hair is coming back but I'm planning to keep my 2 favourite scarves to wear them when I'm having a bad hair day or want a change but still look good!
Thank you for making me feel elegant and attractive(while having chemo) with those beautiful scarves!
Best wishes
Sofia, UK
Hi Susan,
Just wanted to tell you the scarves were a HUGE hit! My friend loved them and said they were perfect and she loved the patterns! And, she said the wrapping was just lovely! It's a hard time for her so i just wanted to say thanks for helping me put a smile on her face!
Thanks again,
krys, ny
My sister just received her China Doll Aqua scarf and just loves it! I saw her for the first time last weekend since starting chemotherapy and loosing her hair. She is not what you would call a "fashionista" and was wearing a dreadful what I call "do rag" aka man's handkerchief. She needed some help and go it and SO much more. She also said the presentation was beautiful; wrapped very nicely (and it arrived so quickly, too!).
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Denise
Dear Susan:
Las week I ordered two headscarves for my sister in California, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in early January 2009. She had her first chemo a few weeks ago and I was hoping she would receive the scarves before she lost her hair. Well, Io ordered on Tuesday and she called on Friday to say she got the scarves! "They're BEAUTIFUL!" she told me. What perfect timing, since her long, beautiful hair is now thinning and coming out. She commented on how artfully the scarves were wrapped..with the tissue and the signed cards. She is an art designer, and particularly appreciates such nice flourishes. Thank you so much. You do an incredible job of making woman feel good at a particularly challenging point in time.
Thank you.
Jeni
Dear Susan:
Among many things, I will always be grateful that two years ago, right as I was to begin chemo for ovarian cancer, I found your web site and was able to embrace a new realm of fashion that, without exaggeration, was essential to my well being during a very difficult time. Though I Iost my hair, my figure (due to steroids), my wardrobe (nothing fit), and my life as I had been living it, your scarves enabled me to put forth a sense of personal style, which by the time I was finished treatment, had become a way of life. Unlike wigs which did not suit me at all, and hats which are cumbersome indoors, your beautiful scarves allowed me to retain my femininity and my dignity as I lost my hair. As I look back, I now understand why wearing your scarves was my only option --- I felt that wigs and hats tried to hide my baldness, while your scarves acknowledged my baldness but put something different and beautiful in its place. Even my four kids and husband got into my signature look ----once when I tried to wear my wig, my daughter thought I looked like a "newscaster," and took off at lightning speed to find a scarf suitable for the occasion. Following my recovery and hair growth, I was delighted to pass my scarves on to a number of admirers who were still experiencing hair loss. A lifetime of thank you's for coming to my rescue.
Jayne, NJ
Hello Susan,
I just wanted to say I received my Beau-Beau's just in time for my post head-shaving party on Monday. I am really happy with your product and think it looks just great!! Many blessings to you!
Tara, Canada
Ordered a wig. It looked RIDICULOUS. So back it goes and more beau beaus for me! They make me feel pretty....THANK YOU for this brilliant idea Susan. The fabrics make all the difference....and I don't have to try to tie a big ole scarf to get even a similar effect...just isn't the same. Lovely!!!
Patty, MD
Thank you for the great tips and inspirational video, Susan. Today is my dramatic hair loss day from chemo and you helped make a bit of a trauma a little more bearable. Neither hair, nor cancer will define who I am :)
Patty
Just have to say as a side note...out of all the scarves I got during chemo (I didn't wear a wig), yours were my absolute favorite! And so beautiful. I'm now 6 months out of chemo, and my hair is all over the place while I'm trying to grow it out, and was so happy to see you have these "transitional" scarves now!
Lisa, NY
Susan,
The beaubeaus arrived yesterday while I was having lunch with a friend. We both tried them on and fashioned them in ways you never meant them to be worn and just laughed and laughed (a la Lucy in 1950 with the gathered part on top of our head as if we had pincurls under it and again with the flowing part hanging in front of our faces as a cat toy or just to look mysterious).
I have not yet lost my hair. I begin chemo on the 18th. And so laughing comes easy right now. Still, I will think of this moment when I put them of for real. And oh Susan, these are BEAUTIFUL....very feminine and elegant. I'm glad I splurged for them. I'm glad you invented them. THANK YOU.
Patty, MD
I'm sending some photos of the scarves that I bought from you before xmas. They are awesome!!! Discovering your scarves for my alopecia has been the best thing ever. I generally wear my wig for work now, as these scarves feel more comfortable on a hot day. I am now gaining confidence in facing the world with alopecia, thanks to your scarves. I highly recommend these scarves to anyone.
Angela, Australia
I wanted to thank you so much for the scarves. I'm sure you hear this loads and I don't actually think words can describe how I feel now that i have shaved my head and am wearing the beaubeau! Not only are they beautiful and comfortable, but I have had so many comments about how lovely I look (I will send some photos as I actually think I look better with the beaubeau than with hair!). I've come such a long way over the last few months with dealing with my alopecia (that I've had for nearly 10 years) and feeling great has just helped so much more! Who would have thought a simple scarf could change so much about lifestyle and self-esteem! THANK YOU!
Danielle, UK
I just received your scarves this afternoon and I LOVE them, they are everything i thought they would be and more. I just wanted to thank you for making such a wonderful product and I look forward to more purchases in the very near future.
Anita, Canada
Thanks again for your very fast delivery, since I live so far away. The scarves I received are simply awesome!Now I have 5 beautiful scarves to co-ordinate with what I wear. I must send you some photos of me wearing them soon. THANK YOU !!
Angela, Austraila
Hi! I'm back! Your BeausBeaus were a life saver my first time through chemo. Thought I was done with the bald thing but my breast cancer is back and has metastized to my lungs and liver - not so good! My boyfriend of 5 years and I have decided to get married this coming weekend in a log cabin chalet with all of our friends and family with us. I had hoped that my hair would last until then but as luck would have it... it's falling fast - literally. We are leaving fon Friday morning - so if there's any way I could get these by Thursday that would be awesome. Let me know if you think I need to over-night them - just in case. The only reason I'm not crying hysterically is because of these beautiful BeauBeaus!! Seriously! I'm sure I'll be back for more! Thanks so so much!
Melinda, KY
Hi Susan,
The scarves arrived today and they are just gorgeous I am so thrilled with them! We don't have access to anything remotely as nice as these in New Zealand so I will throw your flyers around as much as I can!!
Thanks so much again.
Tracey, NZ
Thank you for the link to your blogs. I have just viewed your podcast and was so inspired! I admire you for making the choices that you have and for sharing your talents and passions with women who are facing cancer and/or hair loss. I knew from the beginning that a wig was not for me. I have heard from too many women that it wasn't comfortable and if they had one, they never wore it. I can't say that I have always admired my body, but the one part I actually like (most of the time) was my hair and thought of losing it, even temporarily was hard. It was also hard for my children. Anyhow, I looked at a lot of head coverings and none of them really fit what I had in mind until I came across a flyer for your beaubeaus at my drs office. They are easy to use, comfortable and look great! Without it, I am sure I would be a lot more anxious to appear in public. And the personal way in which you conduct your business is especially refreshing. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Laurie
Thank you Susan! You are an angel :) The Sm/Med synergy beaubeau you are sending should do the trick for this event, but it is good to know of the possibility for a special order. After not being invited to a wedding for years, wouldn't you know I have three to go to this year after being diagnosed with cancer?! Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your talents with the world and for making us bald headed women feel comfortable and stylish :) I eagerly wait my package....
Many thanks,
Laurie, Maine
Dear Susan
It was in the beginning part of the year that I purchased my beau beau. I can honestly tell you that it has been my best friend and came everywhere with me thoughout the treatment I have been receiving for breast cancer. I could only afford to purchase one, so choose a black one so it would go with everything I wore. I got so many compliments saying how nice it looked. It really gave me the confidence to go out and hold my head high. So many thanks to you.
Lynne, UK
I found your website and the beaubeau during an Internet search as I was about to begin chemotherapy. I quickly ordered several beaubeaus. I still have my hair, although it is only a matter of days before I lose it now, but, thanks to you I am no longer so fearful! Your beaubeaus are beautiful! I will now be able to face my chemo with dignity, style, and a lot of flair! Thank you!
Kym, Michigan
Dear Susan,
Thank you for sending my beaubeau, it fits perfectly and I was so pleased to be able to wear it today. The lighter color made me feel so bright and cheerful and I know my friends at work will love it when I wear it tomorrow. Since losing my hair I have tried twice to get a wig, but they are just so not me and I hate the feel of them on my head. Some of my friends can not understand why I can not bring myself to wear a wig, and sometimes I think it would just be easier for everyone else if I got one, but I have realized that I have to do what is best for ME and at the moment my beaubeaus are helping me cope with everything. This is the weirdest thing that has ever happened to me and as it has only been a few months I am still trying to adjust, but I have a wonderful family and friends and I am fit and healthy so life is still good. Thank you again.
Dorothy, UK
I am writing to let you know that I am definitely enjoying all of the beautiful scarves. I have been wearing them and getting many compliments!
Judy, CA
I would just like to say a big thank you for sending my order so quickly. I received it in a week from the time I ordered, pretty good considering I live in Australia!! I tried the beau beau on, it looks pretty good, trendy and modern!! I have never felt comfortable wearing scarfs as I think they are very old fashioned but I am impressed with the beau beau. I think I will feel more confident in spending time at the beach this summer. Having Alopecia is a bit more bearable now. Thank you so much
Angela, Australia
My sister is loving the scarf. She wanted me to tell you, she is really thankful to have been introduced to your product. She is thrilled with it and it makes her feel so much better about her situation! THANK YOU from us both! I have seen my sister go from crying and embarrassed to positive and self-confident! Thank you Susan! My sister watched your video and felt truly inspired by you!
Monica, PA
Hi Susan,
I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you for sending my BeauBeaus so quickly and to thank you for being so brilliant to invent such a luxuriously functional and beautiful head covering. I love it! I'm on your site buying more now. I like to change things up in my 'look' a lot and the wig thing just isn't working for me, especially in this heat. My first public appearance where I was admittedly 'bald' was with the confidence of my BeauBeau. I felt beautiful and chic. Thank you again!
God Bless!
Kathy, PA
Dear Susan,
I received the beau beaus the other day. They are completely different to any other scarves. I would not go outside in any other head scarves but these. I am going to order some more.
Thanks
Elaine, UK
Hi.
I just returned from a 25 day visit to Pakistan. I took my scarves with me, and all of my relatives loved them. One of my aunts had prepared some thin cotton scarves for me to use there (folding square pieces along the diagonal and sewing the edges). Tying them was too difficult, and even she thought these scarves were better.
Sabena
Hi Susan
Just thought I'd let you know I've found another sport you can do in a Beau Beau ... sea kayaking! As with running the Beau Beau stays in place and on a hot day, if it gets wet it helps to keep you cool. Thanks for a wonderful product.
Fi, UK
I am a young woman in my early thirties that has lived with some form of Alopecia most of my life. In my teens all of my hair fell out and never returned, it had progressed to Alopecia Universalis. I've always happily worn wigs and have been very satisfied with them. It wasn't until recently while I was researching new products for my online store (AlopeciaOptions.com) that discovered The Beaubeau!
When I came across The BeauBeau I was instantly impressed with the wide range of fabric selections, there were so many to choose from and hard to pick just one! Susan, you've really hit it on the nose with a great design! I have to say, this headscarf is very easy to wear. I don't have to worry about tying knots to secure it and it stays put without slipping, even on my petite smooth head! My BeauBeau is so comfortable and is a such a nice change form wearing wigs! Now that the warmer weather has arrived I find that I am wearing my head scarf much more often than I ever anticipated. I have received so many compliments on my "Island Surprise" BeauBeau, I never knew that I would look and feel so beautiful!
For me discovering BeauBeau headscarves has been wonderful! For all you ladies that have not yet considered this Alopecia option - I whole heartedly encourage you to do so! I'm looking forward to obtaining more of your headscarves and wish you the very best of success! Thanks again!

Sorry that I have never sent a note of appreciation for the two scarves I ordered some months ago. I am very excited about getting the soon-to-be-released "transitional" BeauBeau! This is exactly what I would wear often! It is hard to find pretty headbands that actually fit and stay put. I am sure your upcoming band style will do this to perfection! And let me say that (as a 'home seamstress', which I no longer have time for, in part because I am so exacting) the construction and fabric quality of the BeauBeau scarves are superb! And (once I get it on*), BeauBeau stays put!
The BeauBeau is like the "Lexus" of head coverings, IMHO
Susan
I just love my scarves. Everywhere I go people comment on how beautiful they are. I would rather wear my scarf than anything else. May the Lord bless you for making something so cute and stylish to help us feel and look really sassy in our daily life.
Constance
I was just given my first three beaubeaus, and I absolutely love them. People say I have a very nice-shaped head, but I still felt different because I was bald. The scarves give me the boost I need to not wear a wig, and they keep my head warm as well. Everyone at the hospital is jealous! :) Thanks again!!
Kristin, OR
Thank you for my lovely three scarf's, they are so easy to put on which I think is a great advantage and look very well too, I wear them with a false fringe and I think I look very well. Can you please send me your brochure as I want to put it up on the notice board at my treatment center as I would like other women to feel as comfortable as I do in the scarf's.
Thanks for sending on the scarf's so quickly I got them within a week all the way to Ireland!

I would just like to say that I have just placed my second order, following my first beaubeau that arrived yesterday. Following my chemo treatment my hair was coming out at a rapid pace I started to look ill and felt quite low. On receiving the scarf it gave me the confidence to shave my head and I feel back in control and ready to face the world again.
Many thanks
Anne, UK
Can I tell you how much I love my beau beau?? I am a dancer with alopecia areata. I finally found an incredible scarf that looks fashionable but stays snug as a bug!!! Now I can just worry about my pirouettes instead of my scarf slipping!
Also a great plus....no tying required and when I pull the scarf through the tie holder it looks like I've got talent at scarf tying!!!
Thank you Beau Beau for making me feel pretty and comfortable at the same time!

While at the oncology office today the nurse took a pic of me because she said she absolutely loved how I looked in my Beau Beau. She informed my husband that he should never be upset with me buying more of them as I looked incredible. I loved it! In the 2 months of hair loss I've only worn my wig twice. I prefer the Beau Beaus. Thanks so much for your dedication to fashion and women's health.
Cindy, IA
I just got my Beaubeaus!! they are beautiful. I'm not dreading the loss of my hair as much as I was before. These are a godsend. Thank you!
Denise
The order arrived perfectly today ! rapid delivery ! They are beautiful as usual. Maybe more! I thought I might attach a picture of me taken last year in July with one of your beaubeau, very appropriate as you would see!
I stopped wearing beaubeaus in December as my hair started to come back. But, in prevision of the next treatment that seems to be for next month, I decided that I needed to have your wonderful new ones, and prepare this situation in a constructive way. And really, it will help me when the time comes to wear them. How good it is to have something bright, colorful, and not sad on your head at any time! I also wanted to tell you what a young boy (14 years old) told me when I was wearing them: "you look too cool, and it is like pirates in the Caribbean, so fashion!". And I feel so good with them. Thanks for all the people who can live with those!
Greetings

Dear Susan,
You may remember, I rang you from Donegal, Ireland yesterday enquiring when the scarves I ordered would arrive? Well, I am delighted to say they arrived today - exactly 10 days since I ordered them. Thank you very much.
May I say - I don't want my hair to grow back! I only came across your website on the Saturday I ordered from it and am really sorry I did not come across it at the beginning of my chemo sessions. I endured other scarves and a wig throughout my six sessions, which have now finished and I was looking for something comfortable to wear whilst my hair grows back. I must say they are the most comfortable scarf to wear and so fashionable - they are just what I was looking for! I love them. I shall inform my other chemo friends of your website.
Thank you for the prompt delivery and I will be proud to be seen in them.
Regards
Bernie, Ireland

As a 6-month user of nothing on my bald head except your BeauBeaus, I want to tell you how much I am enjoying your newest email and all my BeauBeaus. I don't know how I would have made it through this far without them! My friends say, "Carol, you are absolutely beautiful." I've never been called "beautiful" before (except by my parents and husband), so this has been a real morale booster. It looks as though I am currently in remission, so before long I'll be going from "beautiful" back to just "ordinary." C'est la vie! Thank you for entering my life.
Fondly,
Carol
Hi Susan,
I am 37 years old and was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. I started chemotherapy in January and was not sure what I was going to do when my hair fell out. I just didn't want to wear a wig but was not impressed with any of the scarves. I found your website and once I ordered one I was hooked! I decided not to purchase a wig and instead wear scarves from your website.
I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy wearing your scarves. I received so many compliments on the scarf in addition to numerous inquiries as to where I purchased the scarf. I work out every day and several women asked me where I got my scarf. They were tired of wearing baseball caps and wanted something more "fun and motivating." I gave them your website and they are going to order some, too! It's' fun to be a trend setter!
I am attaching a photo of a wedding I attended in NYC with my husband so you could see one of the scarves I ordered as well as an "update" that we send to our friends to let you know we approach this with a positive attitude.
Thank you so much for allowing me to feel good and confident about myself in such a trying time of my life!
Megan, PA
Hi Susan,
I wanted to thank you for designing such wonderful scarves! During my chemo I found a natural-looking wig, but I soon discovered that wigs can get itchy and hot. Around the house I was wearing a bandana which did not look attractive. I am so pleased to have discovered your scarves! My daughter helped me pick out the fabrics and they're beautiful. I'm a klutz at tying scarves so I love the fact that I can just put this on with no fuss. With warmer weather on the way I'm grateful to have something I feel good in that won't get too hot.
Joanna, Canada
First of all I would like to thank you for your service, its excellent!!, and for designing these beautiful and practical scarves. I am a 31 year old and was diagnosed with cancer a month ago. I started my chemo 3 weeks ago and hair is starting to fall. I have looked all over the Internet for scarves and yours are perfect for those of us going through cancer who don't want to wear wigs. I just think they are beautiful and I am even excited to wear them. In a strange way I can't wait for the hair to fall off so I can have an excuse to use them.
By the way, I think the exercise scarves are GREAT!!! They are practical and very COOL for those of us who like to work out.
Levia, PR
Just received my BeauBeau and I love it, love it, love it! I actually went to a restaurant today for the first time since loosing my hair to chemo. Thank you so much for your thoughtful and beautiful product.
Helen, California
I have 6 beau beau's and I love them so much. They are by far the cutest scarves to wear when you are bald.
Sonja, Indianapolis
Wanted to let you know my girlfriend received the scarves I ordered from you and was absolutely thrilled with them..... Thank you so much and I will be in touch again for more........
Stacy
I have all your scarves hanging on a special hanger. Everyone I show them to really think they are pretty. If I have to lose my hair, I will be proud to wear them. Since I have to deal with this, at least I will feel pretty while I go through it. As I progress through my chemo, you will probably see me in a picture with one of your Beau Beaus. Honestly, they are the one reason I'm not as scared about losing my hair. Thanks again.
Lisa, Florida
Susan
I can't thank you enough for the extra attention with my previous order when you called to advise one was not in the size I ordered and to confirm sizes. I received my order very quickly and absolutely LOVE my new beaubeau's. I have just placed an order for 7 more. Hair is gone now and you are the very best!!! Please feel free to use my comments on your website.
Sincerely,
Leslie, Eugene, Oregon
Dear Susan:
I've now bought 6 (I think) of your wonderful beaubeaus and don't know what I would do without them. They have made having no hair fun, and my friends tell me all the time how pretty I look. I love it!
Thank you again for being there for us hairless wonders!!
Best,
Carol, CA
I am a high school teacher and your scarves have been a godsend. I ended up having to shave my head not once but twice since my hair fell out a couple of weeks after my first chemo treatment and right after my final treatment. Now I am enjoying the regrowth of my hair. I still have to wear your scarves, but it has not been a hardship. I normally wear my hair very short. The scarves have been a good fashion accessory for me. Thank you for providing an excellent and beautiful product. I have received many compliments about the scarves. I am sending you a group photograph taken after I had to shave my head for the first time. Some of my colleagues donned scarves to provide moral support. I am, however, wearing the most attractive scarf! Thank you!
Gail
Susan,
Thanks for the very fast shipping. I love the BeauBeaus!. I wear them everywhere, and am now a spokeswoman for you just like my neighbor. No more wigs and scarves for me!
Caroline, VA
Hi Susan:
Just to say that I do not know what I would do without my Beau Beau's!!!! They are amazing! I feel very self conscious in a wig but feel that I can be myself with my beaubeau's. I think that everyone who is having treatment should be aware of your product. We need to spread the word!!!!!
Sue D, UK
I have already ordered two scarves and I absolutely love them. I also have a wig that I paid a lot of money for but I have only been wearing your scarves. I LOVE THEM!
Adrienne, MI
Hi Susan,
I wanted to tell you how much I LOVE the beaubeaus! I love them so much I am going to order some for my sister-in-law who is also going through chemo. Thank you so much for such an excellent product!
Big hugs,
Liz
I just wanted to let you know that my mom really liked the scarves! She was so excited to have something to cover her head with, especially when she goes into the kitchen so she doesn't have to worry about shedding hair into food she's preparing. She also said they were very comfortable.....much more comfortable than the hats she had asked for! Thank you so much for your help in getting these for my mom! I know it will help her feel beautiful, even though she'll likely lose all of her hair. (By the way, I showed them to some of the ladies I work with and they just thought they were the neatest things!! They raved about how pretty they were!)
Val
As I progess through chemo I find that of all of my hats and scarves I love wearing yours the most. They make me feel great and they make me feel beautiful! Thank you!!
Linda W
Your scarf is the only one I can grab on my way out the door and still look good all day - I'm in radiation now and have no time for all the tying my regular scarves require. Your product is such a time saver and ego boost. Thanks!
Cynthia
I LOVE your product. The beaubeau's have made chemo induced hair loss more than tolerable. I've never felt more fashionable. Thank you.
Judy
I received my beaubeau today and I love it! It is lovely. I was dreading the idea of wearing a scarf which to me seemed like wearing a neon sign that says "I have cancer. I have no hair". When I found your website, I thought, "Oh that's nice. I'll give it a try. It will be something comfortable to wear around the house instead of a wig", thinking it was "just a scarf". But now that I have tried it on, my attitude has changed completely. I am actually looking forward to wearing it, and I will definitely be wearing it in public. I think it looks more like a fashion scarf than that "neon sign" I have been dreading. I see myself wearing it long after my hair has grown back. I am giving this website to my family and telling them that beaubeau's are on my Christmas wish list if they ask me what I want. Thank you very much!
Susan S, Maryland
I received the first scarf and I just love it! I am looking forward to the other 3. I will be wearing them every day - they will make my chemo-situation much easier.
Olga
Thanks Susan for making beaubeaus available - other headscarves out there are nothing compared to yours.
Marissa
I got my scarf this morning and it is so lovely - the head part which is ivory lined is a perfect match for my dress while the sheer part compliments the other detail perfectly. I just wanted to say that I have had a number of problems with Internet orders recently but it has been an absolute pleasure dealing with you. Your service is wonderfully personal, quick and efficient and it is such a shame that other companies are unable to provide a comparable service. I will pass the leaflets on to a couple of other departments at the hospital as I am regularly complimented on my BeauBeau's™.
Thank you so much for your help.
Karen, UK
My scarves arrived today - they are both gorgeous and fun! I was actually pretty good at tying scarves, but these are so convenient to put on and feel so secure (the fit is perfect so thank you for that advice).
It's too bad for your business that I didn't find these at the beginning of my treatment, because two definitely wouldn't be enough! And who knows still....
Many thanks. I'm going to spread the word about the BeauBeau™.
Deb, Ottowa CA
I am so glad that I found your website. I have searched the web for a few days and nothing seemed to fit my sister until I found your site.Your products are beautiful. You have given so much hope and beauty to a lot of women and children with hair loss.Thanks so much for doing that.
Greetings!! The Beau Beau™ are amazing, stylish, and beautiful scarves. I received my scarves just days before I shaved my head due to breast cancer treatment. The ease and style of the scarves allow me to walk out and just live life with confidence. The fabrics & craftsmanship is top notch as I've received numerous compliments on my scarves. Thank you for creating a fashionable option as I vowed not to loose my sense of style. With that said, I love spreading the word about your site to other women.
Much Success, L.de L.

Yesterday, I received the scarf I purchased for my dear neighbor, who begins chemo this week. I gave it to her this morning and within 15 minutes she had come over to show me how wonderful it looks. She told me that she has been dreading even looking for hats and scarves because that would just underscore the fact that she was going to lose her hair. She said that her beaubeau was gorgeous and just what she needed to feel good about herself -- and she was happy that I had picked such a vibrant color (the "Brilliant Idea") because it was something she would never have chosen for herself. She was just glowing telling me how beautiful it made her feel....I cannot thank you enough!
Christine
A belated note to say that my Beaubeaus™ have arrived last week and I am delighted with them. I am going to make the most of my enforced hair loss to make a statement with such beautiful scarves. I will certainly be recommending them to everyone I know. I have had such compliments about them.
Kind regards
Sharon, UK
My Beau Beau™ scarf is sexy, chic, and oh, so comfortable! Thank you, Susan. I'll never go back to ordinary scarves. I love it!

Our friend received the scarves, and absolutely loves them! Thank you for the quick delivery and email responses---we will be sure to do business with you in the future and pass the word around how great your company is! Thank you again!
Marlys
Just to let you know that the scarves arrived safely this morning - what fantastic service.. and they are GORGEOUS!! What a great lift to my spirits. Thank you so much.
Diane, UK
I wanted to let you know that I am a huge fan of your product and just ordered three more scarves. I am going through chemotherapy and wear your designs virtually every day. Although I am adept at tying scarves, and occasionally wear them, they don't offer the security, ease, flattering shape and elegant pattern of your designs. Strangers have complimented me on them, not knowing that I am wearing them out of necessity instead of just using them as an accessory.
Rhonda, PA
The scarves arrived yesterday. They are beautiful as I knew they would be - thank you so much. I cannot tell you how much better wearing them has made me feel about losing my hair: everyone comments on my positive attitude and I tell them it's all down to discovering your web site and your wonderful BeauBeaus™. All the nurses at the hospital and all my friends comment on how good the scarves look and it's great to feel confident and good about my appearance during this somewhat challenging time.
With best wishes
Alison
I have received many compliments on my BeauBeau™ scarves. I'm going through chemo treatments and it's so difficult to find scarves that will fit on my head, not to mention trying to tie them correctly. These scarves are so easy to put on and they are beautiful. Thank you so much!
Amy
I just received my sixth scarf from you earlier this week. All six are beautiful, elegant, sophisticated, and very versatile - I love them! My daughters think I look really "cool", and my husband truly thinks I look more beautiful in them than when I wear a wig. I've had women I barely know approach me at my kids' sports games asking me about them too. Most importantly, I feel good about myself when I wear one of your scarves and this allows me to step into the world with confidence, with or without hair. Thank you.
Andrea, Alberta Canada
I just want to tell you once again that I LOVE my Beaubeaus™ - they have made this hair loss thing so much easier. I have a wig, scarves, and hats but if I can match it to my outfit I will go for one of my Beaubeaus™ instead -EVERYTIME!!! They feel great and don't "squeeze" my head like everything else does - your creation has been sent from heaven!!!!! Thanks again
Melinda
Thank you so much for the beautiful scarves that you sent. They arrived safely and bring my total collection now to six.
I had very long thick hair and lost 80% of it in under a week due to my chemotherapy treatment. The loss of my hair has left me totally devastated but your scarves are helping me adjust and cope with the change. They are also extremely comfortable to wear and I much prefer them to my wig, which I am still finding hard to accept even though it looks good.
May I wish you all the best with your business and thank you once again for your prompt and excellent service.
Elizabeth, UK
I hate wigs and I'm not crazy about hats but I love your scarves. Thanks again.
Jayne
Love the scarves! They're really comfortable and so easy just to slip on rather than other scarves which are a hassle to tie and try and make sure they're all tucked in right. Thanks again! I may well be in touch in the future!
Alice, UK
Many thanks Susan for a wonderful product. Putting on your scarves makes me feel "pretty" - just as good as if I had my hair!!
Wendy R
I received my new black and white Beau Beau™ in the mail today. The garment is beautiful! It is so comfortable and easy to wear. I may never put a wig on again.
Lisa C
I received my Mums BeauBeaus™ this morning. They are brilliant!!! She is so pleased with them, I cant believe how much so. Thanks again for your help. She knows that her hair will go but is now a bit more confident knowing that she has these to wear. Thanks again.
Lorriane, UK
I plan on wearing my BeauBeau™ to my synagogue and telling all my friends about your wonderful site ! Not only is the BeauBeau™ great for covering ones hair due to medical reasons, but it is also wonderful for those who cover their hair for religious reasons.
Kerry B
These Beaubeaus™ are wonderful!!! It sure does make life more pleasant when you feel better about your appearance!!! Thanks again!
Melinda
I am so happy with my purchase. Your scarves are by far the cutest and most stylish I found. There aren't many scarf options out there that would exude confidence like your scarves. You have a great thing going!!
Laura D
"Thanks to your beautiful scarves I feel very fashionable while going through my chemo treatments. I want to thank you for your lovely product."
"I want to thank you for the scarf I just received. My daughter is 2
1/2 and has alopecia totalis. This is by far the best thing I have
found for her. I will be ordering more!! Thank you it has made my day!!!!"
"Just wanted to let you know that I feel more beautiful now - then I did when I had hair. Thank you for such a wonderful product."
"These scarves are amongst the most well made and innovative that I
have seen! The unique gathering in the back is a wonderful addition
to an already beautiful head piece and something that makes the
garment more secure and user-friendly to the woman wearing it. I
would recommend these to any woman looking for a comfortable,
beautiful head covering!"
The beaubeau is beautiful and so easy to wear. I have been able to
use it on many occasions.
LOVE my new BeauBeau™ scarf. Not only is it gorgeous, it's so soft
next to my skin. I also love the flexibility of being able to style
it in different ways and knowing that it's secure and won't fall
off. I can't wait to buy more in different colors!
