ABOUT ME

My name is Kelly Giblin and I started Lemonade Locks  after experiencing the trauma of hair loss firsthand. Several years ago, I was diagnosed with alopecia, an auto-immune disease which causes various levels of  hair loss.  In my case, it resulted in hair falling out in large patches all over my head.  My hair, which had always been a source of pride for me, suddenly became a source of embarrassment. The panic and depression I felt during the early days of my diagnosis were often overwhelming.  As my hair started falling out, I began to research every option available to disguise my growing bald spots. I dreaded the thought of wearing a wig, having tried several in the past, all of which looked so unnatural.

 

I will never forget the day I found the incredible line of wigs that we now sell -- not only were they very comfortable, but they looked unbelievably real. 

 

That was a very important turning point for me in overcoming the anxiety that I was experiencing and it allowed me to focus on the important things in life….not my hair.  All of this brought to mind the old saying, “when life hands you lemons, make lemonade,” which is the reason I started Lemonade Locks. 

 

It is my hope that I can help others facing similar circumstances by sharing my experience and showing them that there are incredible and affordable options for women facing hair loss.
