Losing my hair in just two months time was a devastating shock. I've always had thin hair, but during our annual family reunion, I noticed I had developed bald areas which I could no longer cover up. I was so scared. I didn't know anyone with my problem and had only heard negative things about wigs-hot, uncomfortable, fake-looking, itchy, sweaty. I didn't know where to turn for help. After researching on Google, I went to a wig shop in Colorado Springs, but after trying on several synthetic wigs, I was totally disappointed and depressed with the way they looked. Then I came across Jennifer's website, Strands. I learned that I had a medical condition called androgenic Alopecia. Jennifer understood my desperationfrom the minute I contacted her, and when I got to her office for my consultation, she had already done her research. She had checked my website, seen a picture of me before my hair loss, ordered a topper in the perfect color, and fit it to me that first day. As I sat in her office, crying (which I haven't done in years), she cut, shaped, and curled the topper without any obligation to me. I was extremely dubious until she placed the topper on my head and then I cried in relief- I LOVED it! After sending pictures to my husband, whose response was "Go for it", I purchased it and ordered a second. I have worn it now for over three weeks and love it more each day. I had no idea I could feel so confident and comfortable wearing a "cranial prosthesis," as they are called. This is the hair I've always wanted. Thank you, Jennifer, for the important and vital work you do. Your 40 years of experience in hair styling and 20 years of experience with medical wigs has helped me regain my confidence. read more

I always had thin, fine hair but over the years it started thinning out more and more. I prayed for acceptance and God answered my prayers for many years. I recently went through a severe thyroid episode which resulted in a lot of my hair falling out and acceptance just wasn't happening anymore. So I started looking on line for a wig store within Colorado Springs. I saw Strands Medical Wigs and immediately called and left a message. Within just a short period of time, I received a call back from Jennifer. After sending pictures of my current hairstyle, along with potential options to consider, I met with Jennifer and within just a few minutes we had agreed a topper was the way to go. Jennifer found a color that matched mine almost exactly, and she suggested what we both agreed to be the perfect hairstyle. After receiving and fitting the topper, I did go through one day where it was a foreign feeling on the top of my head. However, entering day two I was feeling 100% comfortable and extremely satisfied with the feel and look! I am even discussing option #2 with Jennifer as I love my topper #1 so much. The entire experience has been a blessing, and I highly recommend any one going through hair loss to accept it (as much as humanly possible) and seek help from someone as knowledgeable and caring as Jennifer. It is well worth it!! Carolyn Hatcher read more

If you are losing your hair for any reason, Strands is the place to help heal your soul! Jennifer, the owner of Strands, could not be more helpful, kind, compassionate, personable, genuine, loving, and healing for people in a time of need. I suddenly and rapidly started losing my hair because of a medical condition. There are no words to explain what a devastating blow this is to your mind and soul. You have no control in this happening and there is no quick fix to stop the hair from falling out. It is completely terrifying. There are no handbooks to help a person adjust to the rapid change in appearance and how you see yourself and what to do to help fix it. I found Strands through a dear friend and feel so blessed that we did! Jennifer listened to me while I cried and heard even what I couldn't say. She listened to what I wanted to look like and looked at old pictures. She designed the perfect real hair wig for me, shaved what little hair I had left and amazingly, I felt beautiful again!!! I feel as though I am blessed to have a new angelic friend in my life! Please, if you are struggling with this mentally paralyzing condition, get ahold of Jennifer. You will be blessed and feel beautiful again also! read more

Jennifer was such a blessing to my sister and me. My sister had been in the hospital earlier this year with Covid and pneumonia and was losing her hair after she got out of the hospital. Her self-esteem was affected and it was sad for me to watch her. I found Strands after a search and it turned out to be the best thing that could have happened. After I contacted Jennifer she asked us to send pictures of my sister so she could see the color of her hair and where she was losing her hair. We did that and a week later we met with Jennifer and she had a Topper just the color of my sisters hair. She put it on my sister and started to cut and shape it. When she finished my sister look like her old self. The day that we had the appointment with Jennifer just happened to be my sisters 50th wedding anniversary. After the appointment, we met the family for a celebration and everyone was so excited to see my sister looks so well. Everyone, commented on how beautiful she was. My sister said to me "this is the first time I have felt like myself". Thank you Jennifer for everything. read more

I was VERY impressed with the service I got with my beautiful real hair wigs. I lost all my hair (Triple Negative Breast Cancer) and was not sure what to expect but it felt so light and not at all picky and it looked so natural. Jim took this photo of me after we left to grab a late lunch. I ran through high winds and rain and it looks perfectly natural. I highly recommend Jennifer and she had so many informative tips my cancer group failed to warn me about. With Jennifer it's not just a one time deal. I'll be goin back to help decide a style for my 2nd wig but she'll be teaching me how to wash it and style it. I have to decide if I was both long or. on long and one shorter. I'm starting to learn towards two in the longer length as I always wear a hat when I go out. I can't imagine buying for anyone else because there is so much more to it and you need someone qualified to teach you those things. It was so nice to. wake up bald in the morning and by afternoon people were commenting on my new hair ad most had NO idea it was a wig. What more coule you ask. read more

For several years I'd been experiencing shedding and thinning hair and in some areas almost baldness. I'd tried several products that was suppose to help with my concerns but to no avail. I was beginning to feel embarrassed about the way I looked for I'd always had hair almost helpless, not wanting to go anywhere or engage with others.. I'd goggled anything and everything about hair loss and remedies. In my search I came across Jennifer...What a God send. I contacted her set up an appointment (consultation-which was free) and we got the ball rolling. Jennifer listened to my concerns and was very aware how hair loss affects one emotionally, mentally and how it also affects one's self esteem. I've never met anyone that's as professionally competent kind and compassionate as Jen. I can smile again and feel self-confident inside and out....I now have the look I once had.

Jennifer is amazing! She is compassionate, kind, personal, and knowledgeable. When I met her, I instantly felt like melting into her loving care. You are one-on-one with Jennifer. No one can stare, judge, or make you feel uncomfortable. She will sit with you and share in your fears, worries and concerns. Then Jennifer will find the right piece that fits and works like your natural hair. She will customize it, as if it's like your natural hair. Jennifer welcomed me with compassion, helped in providing the perfect topper just for me. I have alopecia, extreme thinning on top of my head. The alopecia will get worst. Jennifer is going to work with me in stages as my hair thins. My hair caused me to have extreme anxiety, I was scared, and didn't want to leave my house or have anyone come to my door, and my confidence was at its lowest. Jennifer calmed me, melted my fear, and assured me everything will be alright, "there is always a way" to look like you have natural hair. I promise you, there is a solution that will work for you, go see Jennifer! read more

Jennifer was so patient and kind in my very emotional 1st meeting. I am a survivor of septic shock. I never knew a side effect of septic shock was hair loss. I was sick and on a wound vac and now my hair was all falling out by the handful. I was greeted and treated so positive with Jennifer. She was energetic and made me feel good about myself. When She put on my new hair, I immediately felt good, I felt happy! I looked more like myself. Jennifer let me know, I now do not have to worry about my appearance while I am recovering. My new hair topper looks just like my hair use to look. Very natural and blows in the wind just like my own hair. I thank God and my sister for finding Jennifer, she is one of the most companionate, sincere, and genuinely nice individuals I have ever meet. My husband said on the way home Jennifer has helped so many people she has earned her wings to heaven. We all love You Jennifer! You help so many people feel good again. read more

Jennifer Fenninger has a special talent when styling your real hair wig. I was unaware that she recommends coming in before you lose your hair so that she can see the style, color and texture. I did not find her until after my chemo treatment and I had my head shaved. During my initial visit Jennifer explained the differences between artificial and real hair wigs. Actually, showing me samples of each so that I could see and feel the difference. I gave her two recent pictures to give her an idea of my hair prior to loss, she measured my head and ordered my wig. When I went in to pick it up, she pulled the styled wig out of the bag and I could see it was perfect. She spent a small amount of time to trimming a few hairs in the bang area but no other cutting was necessary. When I see friends and family the most common comment is "your wig looks just like your real hair". My response is "it looks better". Thank you Jennifer. read more

Jennifer helped me regain my confidence! I began losing my hair 7 years ago and fell into deep depression. Alopecia is simply devastating! I found Jennifer and she helped me find a solution that matched my real hair perfectly. Over the years my hair loss became so extensive that I now wear a full cranial piece. I used to be so emotional and self conscience about wearing a wig, but now I just rock it! It is amazing how hair can make you feel! I feel beautiful and confident! Jennifer has helped me far beyond providing amazing hair over the years. I've been transformed emotionally, mentally, and physically! She is a loving, compassionate, and genuine soul!

Loved my time with Jennifer. My daughter told me I had to get real human hair and not synthetic. She was right. Jennifer knew right away exactly the look I wanted. I bought a topper. She found an excellent match with my own hair color, cut the topper to perfection, and dyed a few strands to perfectly complete the match. People don't know exactly what's different about me, but they say "you look so good today." The topper is so easy to secure and lightweight. Can't even tell I'm wearing it. I thought I'd wear the topper for travel but I'm now wearing it everyday. I'm spoiled. read more

I started speaking with Jennifer in December, giving information on my Insurance I have Medical Induced Alopecia, while waiting patiently while I have my DBS Surgery (two large scares on my head) once the healing process was concluded we made an appointment to get things going. We ordered my wig that day. My fitting appointment was great, she fitted the wig on me and I tried it myself. Jennifer was so accommodating as my daughter from Cali was Facetiming both appointments while my partner attended the final. She has brought my confidence back. Thank you Jennifer your my BFF. read more
