A wig takes care of the hair problem but not the eyelashes. She would like to find a place that applies indivdual false eyelashes. I told her I would ask here. She checked with Anthony Garubo, they don't do it. Does anyone know of a place that does?   bella Citizen Username: Bella Post Number: 402 Registered: 7-2001 Posted on Tuesday, November 25, 2003 - 9:35 am:        Have you asked at the MAC store in Short Hills? I know that MAC make up artists will do the full strips & I am 99.94% sure that they sell the individual lash kits, so I am fairly confident that they would apply individual lashes. Hope this helps.   shh Citizen Username: Shh Post Number: 769 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Tuesday, November 25, 2003 - 9:48 am:        Another thought would be to call Neiman Marcus or Nordstrom in Short Hills. Both have upscale cosmetics departments. Nordstom even has a private beauty suite where they could set up an appt. so your friend has privacy.   maaaa Citizen Username: Maaaa Post Number: 97 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Tuesday, November 25, 2003 - 10:38 am:        There's a national program called "Look Good, Feel Better" that's given free of charge at the area hospitals---call the oncology department at St Barnabus or Overlook. Beauticians meet with groups of women to discuss just this kind of thing, and cosmetic companies donate large quantities of top of the line products. It's really a wonderful pick-me-up for a terrible time.   emmie Citizen Username: Emmie Post Number: 168 Registered: 3-2002 Posted on Tuesday, November 25, 2003 - 11:22 am:        Thanks everyone...all great ideas!   gozerbrown Citizen Username: Gozerbrown Post Number: 256 Registered: 3-2002 Posted on Tuesday, November 25, 2003 - 12:42 pm:        I was just going to suggest a similar thing as Maaaa did. You might also try National Cancer Society, too. Some beauticians specialize in cancer issues (not just hair, but skin, etc.) Best of luck to your friend. She's lucky to have a friend like you, especially at the holidays.
