There are many transitions an individual goes through with Alopecia (The Abnormal Loss of Hair) or during chemotherapy treatment. One is coming to terms with sudden hair loss or the possibility of it.
Losing your hair can have a devastating affect on your life. You may experience different and confusing emotions that are difficult to handle. Working through each situation or emotion one step at a time can prove to be beneficial.
Priorities and goals may also need to be accessed and altered, affecting your normal balance of life. Some things that seemed to be important may now be a lower priority.

Publisher’s Note:
Back in 2006 when the News Journal asked Sandy “Who or what has been your biggest source of inspiration and why?,” she answered “My greatest inspiration comes from chemotherapy or alopecia patient leaving my salon smiling, despite their ordeal.” When you meet Sandy you will know that this is true, what a wonderful gift she and her staff are to the many people suffering through the ordeal of cancer or alopecia.
The Birth of “Precision Hair & Wig Boutique”
Precision Hair was born on October 1, 1986 in a small two chair salon located at 8th and Tatnal in Wilmington, DE. Its only employee was Sandy Tusi who nursed it. With little help for seven years working as the only employee, stylist, janitor, decorator, etc. she started what is now Precision Hair and Wig Boutique.
In February of 1993, Precision Hair was an ambitious 6 1/2 years old and with considerable financial help, plans were drawn to move from the Tatnal Street Location, and open in the Delaware Trust Building with 1000 tenants.
During the next five years Sandy really learned about the beauty business as an owner operator. The old saying that it takes 20 years to get 20 years of experience is a fact.
To make a long story short, Delaware Trust sold out to PNC, the building population dropped to under 300 and profit was non existent. A move had to be made.
Leaving most of her equipment behind, Sandy and one employee moved to the Kirkwood Highway location and at the request of several clients, Sandy began training in non-surgical hair replacement for men, women and children.
It was now February of 1998; Precision Hair was 11 ½ years old and just starting to mature to the operation you see today. Sandy along with four employees were starting to make their mark.
Jumping ahead, not to bore you, we are approaching the summer of 2007. Precision hair is 20 years old, and we now have a staff of 20 stylists, receptionists and shampoo personnel to cater to your every hair need.
We have remodeled the shop twice, most recently to take over vacated space next to our previous shop where we are proud to house The Precision Hair Wig Boutique. You can come in for a free, private consultation.
Our wig boutique has over a hundred wigs on display and hundreds more are available with overnight shipping if necessary. We have been chosen by Raquel Welsh to be the only “Star Pro Salon” in the area; a tribute to the training and expertise of our staff.
The 2007 collection makes it easier than ever to change your looks, your mood or your personality, and why not? You can look like your very best self. You can be blonde, brunette or redhead or just and improved you. Glamour is being who you want to be.
