I received my order today & am thrilled! I took a chance & ordered 4 Kristens. They are comfortable, easy to tie & stay put on your head. I have tried so many things since chemo made my hair fall out & just couldn't get happy. I found you through an intensive Google search for headwear that was a little more updated than the average. Your quality is superb & so is your customer service. I will recommend you & probably order more. Good luck to you & thank you for filling a special niche for cancer patients.

I received your headwear the other day and was so excited to open it. First of all, I was very pleased with the quick response time in receiving the headwear so quick. Second of all, I just LOVED them! I used to be a seamstress myself with my mom's drapery business and then with sewing almost all my childrens clothes (now grown). I am also very meticulous. Your headwear passed all my tests, which can be very hard to do. They are just wonderful!
I know my neice is going to love them. I also will have no problem wearing mine. I liked the added touch of the hand charm sewn on the headwear. Thank you for having great quality (and cute) headwear for my neice to wear while undergoing chemo.
Thanks again,
Deb
Your product is wonderful. I was so happy with quality and workmanship. I even took one to show the ladies at the wig store. They were also impressed and took your name off of the hat. Next week I go to have my hair shaved and I will take one to show my hairdresser. I will wear them everywhere including Y and chemo treatments. I will try and be a good walking advertisement for you.
Thanks,

I am a chemo patient... and ... quite frankly have been disappointed in the 'options' in terms of scarves, headwear available at the standard sites.
I particularly loved the different fabric patterns you had.... and the reversibility. I get so tired of the same old thing... variety is
great. softness and 'breath ability' is huge. For me the 'pre-tied' was really important (ease)...but the style was not as important (although I didn't want a big scarf hanging down my back). The 'different and a bit uplifting' fabric
patterns are what made me make the buying decision. If you add more fabrics....that aren't 'tooooo' cutesy (I'm 49) then I'll be back.
Good luck with your business.

Hello,
I ordered two scarves from you. I LOVE THEM. They are what I was hoping for. I was on the internet looking for scarves and I came across your site and I liked them so much I ordered a couple. I don't always like having to fix my hair to go to work or for shopping so I put on one of these scarves and go!"
Thank You
Mary Baller
Love it. Wore it this weekend seedooing! I got it because i have precancer spots on my scalp and need to make sure when I am in the sun my scalp is protected.

Thanks!

Hi Gretchen -
My friend Olivia found you somehow, and bought two of your scarves for me. I'm going through chemo and lost my hair about a month ago. My Kristen Elvis is now my favorite scarf so I thought I'd better buy a couple more so that I don't wear that one out.
I didn't notice you when I was searching Google for chemo scarves and hats. Your scarves are way more comfortable, fashionable and functional than the ones I bought on headcovers.com.
Best of luck to you!

I'm glad to hear my order is shipping so soon. I should start losing my hair during this next week.
I found your web site through a Google search for scarves/turbans/chemotherapy. It was the only site with cute, updated head coverings. I was also excited to find that your products are reversible as this gives me more options without the extra cost.
Thank you,
Donna
Dear Gretchen,
Thank you for my order!! The headwraps are beautiful and even better that they can be reversed!
I had initially done a web search for breast cancer and hair loss looking for younger, hipper looking hats and scarves and discovered your website. I thought I was going to be stuck with the basic American Cancer Society selection--but they were quite honestly too old and depressing during this whole process to even consider.
I hope your company does well--I will recommend them to people I have met through my treatments and recovery.

I love the hat, I ordered the Kristen, in cotton, and wear it daily. It's perfect for bad hair days (I need a perm) - it's very well made and I love the little pin that lets you know it's handmade.
It's got a really unique design that sets it apart from other headgear. There's a part that makes it a bit fuller near the headband. You can tell that this was made with love. The detailing is awesome.
Good luck, I wear mine all the time. I also got the hair tie, until I get my perm, I'll be probably slipping this on, on a daily basis.

Dear Gretchen,
Your products have saved my life. A year ago I began experiencing sudden hair loss. Five doctors later, it appears I have hypothyroidism, but no one is ruling out alopecia areata since I have also experienced hair loss on my arms and legs. Although I still have plenty of length, I have overall thinning on the back of my head, and it's impossible to say whether it will ever grow back.
Chao Pelo head wraps let me go out in public without feeling self-conscious. I don't have to perform all sorts of camouflaging techniques with hair spray (and hope there's no wind that day!) I've been able to come to terms with my situation largely because of your products. They are absolutely beautiful and I enjoy coordinating them with my outfits. In fact, my latest order is for my daughter's college graduation and my son's high school graduation. Chao Pelo has allowed me to get my life back. I don't know if I'll ever get my hair back, but even if I do, I will always be an enthusiastic supporter of your company.
Warm regards,
Lisa Volker
I had looked at other different sites....but you had the best prints. My sister (who unfortunately had breast cancer) is an avid "Starbucks" fan....and you were the only site who had the "Java Junction" print.
Thank you so much...I'm sure she'll enjoy (well as much as she can with losing her hair) your head scarf ...especially since it's reversible.
Regards,
Carol
Hi Jill
I just heard from my sister Jody who told me what she is going to do with the 2nd camouflage scarf. She is going to give it to one of her Guardsman's 12 year old son (Jody is a Lt. Colonel in the Air force) who has alopecia. The boy liked Jody's scarf so much that she plans on sewing on his Father's rank (stripes) on his scarf and she is having her rank sewn on her scarf! I guess one never knows how many people they touch until you hear about things like this!
Thanks for making two more people in California feel good about their situation with nice looking and comfortable head covers!
Ciao,
Jan from Ohio
Thanks very much for my order which I did receive today. This is just a note to say I am delighted with them! I have been out today without my wig for the first time since I lost my hair (6 weeks).
I am going to post your web site on our breast cancer care forum so you will hopefully receive more orders from the UK.
Thanking you once again,,

A friend of our family's daughter (from Chicago) sent a beautiful burberry silk head wrap to my mom after she was diagnosed with brain cancer. We looked in stores for head coverings and bought quite a few but the wraps that are made by your company look and fit the best. I ordered two more because it is nice to have a few.
When my Mom was diagnosed with cancer and began radiation and chemo, she was directed to a few places to look at head coverings and given a catalog for wraps, wigs, etc. There is a place in our area which helps those going through treatment. They have many head coverings, wigs, etc. but none like these. If our friend did not send one of your head wraps to my Mom - we would not have known about these. There are so many things out there, but we found these to be easy (unlike bandanas), stylish and pretty. I am glad to let people know about your business!

Thank you for the prompt service. I ordered one Kristen head wrap two weeks ago, and just wore it Saturday. I liked it so much, I ordered 4 more later that day.
They are pretty and very comfortable. I find that they are not scratchy like hats and are easier for me to tie than regular scarves! I hope I like these four as much as my first one!
Thank you,

Hi Jill
I just wanted to let you know that the head scarves arrived safely (a very good DHL delivery to a very remote spot in Hong Kong) and my daughter is delighted with them. She has lost all her hair recently in the course of chemo therapy; she has tried other scarves and wigs but says your head scarves are cool and comfortable and look beautiful. She now wears only them. So many thanks, not least for your perseverance in sorting out the payment.

Hi Jill,
I wanted to let you know that I purchased a scarf for my mother and gave it to her this week as a gift when she finally started losing her hair. She loved the scarf and was especially fond of the design which fit much easier to her head than other scarves that she had purchased. My mom is sometimes picky about things and has been especially so, as far as her hair loss is concerned, so please take that as a huge compliment.
Thanks again for the great product. I would definitely recommend the site to anyone I know in a similar situation.
Jamie
I LOVE the Kristen I purchased from you a couple of weeks ago....it is my favorite of all....it looks great.....but even more importantly it FEELS great!!!!! Thanks for making this time in my life a little better!!
Love and BLESSINGS.....

Hi
I just got my Always Beautiful headwrap and it is so beautiful. I tried it on and fits wonderfully. I have been fighting cancer and I have a wedding to go to. I have not been able to find nice scarves or ones that fit my head decently. In my cancer center they have your web site page so I thought I would check it out. It was exactly what I wanted. Thank you for giving me the boost I need.

Hi Jill
Just wanted to let you know that I received my order today. Wish I had found your web site months ago. Love the 2 head wraps I ordered (both Kristens). They fit my head so perfectly unlike the other head covers I had gotten here in San Francisco that just don't fit right. They are attractive and your brand "Always Beautiful" describes your products so appropriately.
Thanks and Regards,

I just purchased one of your Head wraps this weekend at the Greektown Art show, I had to send this message to let you know the wrap is ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!!

Hey All at Chao Pelo...
As promised here is a photo of a perfect way to use a Chao Pelo head wrap... "After a couple days in the back country there is only one way to have a good hair day... the Chao Pelo way!" This head wrap was an excellent addition to my backpacking gear. Looking forward to purchasing another one; as soon as the "Red Bandana" addition is created.
Thanks,
Karen Bates
Hello!
I purchased a wrap from you at the Village Art Fair and LOVE it!!! I get many compliments each time I wear my Chao Pelo wrap. It's great for the days you don't feel like doin' your "do" and days you're feeling a bit sassy! LOVE IT!
Thanks for a great product!

Dear Jill,
I have hair!!! I have been "naked" (just my head:-) for a few weeks already. Your headwrap and an occasional scarf was all that I wore during my hairless days. The headwrap was by far the most comfortable and attractive head-covering that I wore. I received many compliments on it. Thank YOU.
I really should have bought a second one but that red one went with almost everything and I loved it!!

Dear Gretchen and Karen,
Thank you so much for the gorgeous head scarf you made for me. I can tell it's for me because it's my absolute favorite color, lavender. I love it and hope to wear it throughout a long, healthy life!
Thanks,
Marla
Hello,
My cousin sent me one of your hats as a gift--burgundy w/ thin gold stripe, black inside, tie in back, cute hand-charm stitched on one side. I really love wearing it, and would be interested in buying another like it (perhaps in a different color--some kind of blue?)
I'd also love to see other hats/wraps that you have designed. Do you have a catalog? Or might it be possible to send a few digital photos by email? Along with price info etc.
Thank you so much.
With kind regards,
Margaret Wallace

Hi Jill and Gretchen,
I really enjoyed meeting you both today. I was so excited to get home and put on one of my new wraps! I am wearing the cotton one and I love it. Not only does it look good, I can feel air coming in and out from around the ears, which feels great!
Thank you for your talent and compassion. I wish you the best with this wonderful endeavor. I am sure I will be in touch in the future.

I read the article in the News/FreePress on Oct. 11 and think you are doing something that is really sorely needed! My wife is fighting ovarian cancer and really needs just what you are producing.
Thank you!

Hello. I read the article on your head wraps in the Detroit Free Press/News on October 11. You have done a terrific job and I am very interested in purchasing one for a friend. How could I get some more information that would allow me to choose one right for her? Any help you can give would be appreciated.
