Meet Diane
Decades of hairstyling expertise. Personalized Hair Loss solutions. Genuine compassion.
Diane D’Angelo is a Vidal Sassoon-trained master stylist with more than 30 years experience in the beauty industry throughout Fairfield and Westchester Counties.
Throughout her career, she has specialized in helping women experiencing hair loss, thinning hair and baby fine hair.
Diane’s connection to women experiencing hair loss is also deeply personal. After watching two of her siblings navigate cancer and the challenges that accompanied treatment, she gained first hand insight into the compassion, understanding and specialized care woman need during an already difficult time
That experience helped shape Alternative Hair Solutions and Diane’s highly personal approach to hair replacement. For many women, finding the right hair solution is about much more than appearance. It’s about feeling comfortable, confident and like themselves again. Diane takes the time to listen to each client, understand her concerns and lifestyle, and create an individual solution that feels natural and personal.
Alternative Hair solutions offers wigs, hairpieces, toppers, clip free attachment options and non-surgical hair grafting. Pieces can be customized and cut by Diane to complement each woman’s color and texture and personal style, helping to create a natural looking result.
For women undergoing cold capping in combination with chemotherapy, or experiencing scalp sensitivity, clip free options can make it possible to wear a topper rather than a full wig. Diane also offers Non-surgical hair grafting systems designed to remain discreet and secure through everyday activities.
Behind every hair replacement is a personal story. Diane’s goal is to make every woman who walks through her door feel heard, cared for and confident in the solution she chooses–so she can get back to living her life feeling like herself again.
We Care for the Client and Contribute to the Cause.
Alternative Hair Solutions in Southport, CT is committed to doing our part to help eradicate Cancer.
We periodically run a contribution campaign where a portion of proceeds from each wig sold is donated to the referring medical institution or The American Cancer Society upon presentation of a referral card.
As certified volunteers to The American Cancer Society’s Look Good Feel Better program, we have participated as beauty counselors at meetings in many of the hospitals in our area. Seasonally, we also donate wigs to this very worthy, uplifting program.
Annually, we participate in The Support Connections Walk to raise money for those afflicted with Breast and Ovarian Cancer. Our team “Daria’s Angels” has raised over $15,000. since its inception.
On November 10, 2016, we were a Bronze level sponsor at Swirl, NYC’s “Erase Lymphoma” benefit. This event, sponsored by the Lymphoma Research Foundation/The Paul Foundation raises funds for the very underserved sector of Adolescents and Young Adults (AYA’s) age 15-39. Proceeds from the event are used to provide expert programs and materials that address the unique medical challenges young adult lymphoma patients encounter during their diagnosis and treatment.
On June 7th 2018, we were invited to participate in Greenwich Hospital’s Surf into Survival Event. As a resource we were able to celebrate those who were commemorating remission and help those just beginning their journey.
We have first-hand knowledge of the importance of raising the vital funds needed to find a cure, as two of us are survivors. We are hopeful that our continued participation will in some small way will help to make a difference in our lifetime.
