Wigs ‘n More & Mastectomy Boutique

By Janice Lane Palko

When cancer strikes, it can feel as if your world and you have fallen apart. However, the caring professionals at Wigs ‘n More & Mastectomy Boutique can help to make you feel whole, confident, and beautiful throughout recovery and beyond.

Located at 5924 Route 981 in Latrobe, Wigs ‘n More was founded by Kathy Hendrickson in 1988 as Tangles Hair Salon. “Over time we saw a need to serve women who have lost their hair or had breast surgeries such as lumpectomies and mastectomies, and in 2000, we began to add the medical aspect to the store, carrying wigs and mastectomy products,” said Kathy. 

In June 2024, she realized that there was also a need to carry fashion brands, and they added on to the building opening Bras ‘n More Boutique, which offers high quality fashion bras for women in a large range of sizes from 30AA to 52NN.

Wigs ‘n More is one of the largest wig and mastectomy boutiques in Western Pennsylvania. “We help women from all over the area. We even have fitted a woman from Alaska who comes here to shop whenever she is in town,” said Kathy.

As a medical product provider, Wigs ‘n More works with insurance companies. “We are HIPPA compliant and are Board Certified Mastectomy Fitters,” said Kathy. 

Today, breast prosthetics aren’t one-size-fits-all item but are custom made to look and feel as natural as possible. “Fitting a prosthesis is a bit like creating a puzzle piece. It takes about 35 minutes to an hour. We use an iPad and scan the woman’s chest to get a seamless fit,” said Kathy. 

The prosthetics are lightweight silicon and are breathable and durable. They are matched to the skin tone and can be worn outside the bra or in a pocket in a mastectomy bra. “It is all very high-tech, and they look very natural,” said Kathy. 

In addition, Wigs ‘n More offers mastectomy recovery garments, swimsuits, and products for those undergoing radiation treatments. 

Losing one’s hair can be traumatic, and Wigs ‘n More offers both synthetic and human hair wigs. “We not only help those who have lost their hair due to chemotherapy, but those who have alopecia and who have lost hair due to COVID,” said Kathy, who can instruct clients on proper care of their wig and can also clean and style it.

If you would like to contact Wigs ‘n More, you can get in touch with them online at info@wigsnmore.net or by calling 724-532-1901.

“Unfortunately, many women don’t know where to turn to when they need help. Some end up at large retailers where they get less-than-stellar results,” said Kathy. “We are trained, compassionate, and provide the utmost in care and products.”
