OUR MISSION
My Happy Hair is a nonprofit project of My Happy Place, Inc. dedicated to restoring confidence for women and girls experiencing medical hair loss. Through one-on-one fittings, high-quality alternative hair, and donation-supported gifting, we help women reclaim their reflection and feel whole again.
ABOUT US
My Happy Hair is a private, appointment-only wig boutique located in a quaint salon in Clear Lake, a small resort town in Northern Iowa. We serve all women – those experiencing medical hair loss from chemotherapy, alopecia, or other conditions, as well as women simply exploring a new style, a fresh look or something fun. Although we are a retailer open to the public, our heart and focus remain on women and girls navigating hair loss. Hair is identity. It’s confidence. It’s how a woman feels when she looks in the mirror. Losing it is heartbreaking and restoring it can be life changing. We want to restore that reflection illness tried to take.
HOW WE STARTED
My Happy Hair began as a project of My Happy Place, Inc. When the dream of helping women experiencing hair loss became impossible to ignore, Lisa approached Laura, her hairstylist and friend for more than a decade, and asked if she wanted to partner. Lisa contributed the nonprofit foundation, and Laura contributed the salon and styling experience. Each brought a piece of the puzzle, creating a partnership that fit together with effortless purpose. Some may say we had no business getting into the wig world – after all, neither of us wears a wig or have even put one on. But what we did have was the drive, the compassion, and the willingness to learn all we can in order to help other women and make this project a success.

OUR GIFT GIVING PROGRAM
My Happy Hair operates under a 501(c)3 nonprofit so we can accept donations and use those funds to provide wigs to women and girls who would never be able to afford a hair transformation on their own. Through our application process, anyone can NOMINATE a woman or girl in need. Selected recipients – based on eligibility and available funding – may receive a gifted wig at no cost, made possible through generous donor support.
A CONFIDENCE SPONSORSHIP provides recipients with a personalized wig experience valued at up to $750 that can be used toward their wig, customization, styling services and wig care products to help recipients look and feel their best during their hair loss journey. Recipients may choose a wig above their sponsorship amount and pay the difference. While a complete My Happy Hair sponsorship is valued at $750, meaningful gifts come in every size. Whether you give $25, $100, $250, or fund an entire sponsorship, your contribution helps provide wigs, styling services, customization, and support to women and girls experiencing medical hair loss.
There are other ways to gift a wig: coworkers passing the hat to support a colleague, family members gathering contributions to surprise someone they love, or even someone choosing to cover the full cost for a special someone in their life. The gift becomes even more meaningful when her own circle comes together to raise the funds among themselves. When you call to schedule your appointment – no matter how your wig is being funded, we require you to fill out an INTAKE FORM. It’s a simple step that helps us understand your needs and ensures we have the most appropriate wigs ready for you and understand the look you’re hoping to achieve.
A woman in chemotherapy is fighting for her life while trying to hold the rest of her world together – her health, her job, her family and the extra bills piling up. She should never have to face the loss of her hair with no way to restore it. Financial hardship should not stand between her and the chance to feel like herself again.
PRIVATE WIG-FITTING CONSULTATIONS
My Happy Hair offers a one-hour, private wig-fitting consultation designed to give the woman or girl comfort, privacy, and personalized guidance. We understand how sensitive this journey can be, and we approach every appointment with care and respect. The atmosphere is intentionally relaxed – she’s welcomed with coffee, tea, or even a glass of wine – creating a calm space where she can try on different styles, colors, lengths, and comfort options until she looks in the mirror and says, “Yes, I feel like me again.”
We always encourage her to bring the people who love her most – her besties, a sister, a mom, or a trusted friend. The truest and most honest opinions come from the ones who know her heart, and having them beside her makes the experience even more comforting, supportive and meaningful.
To schedule an appointment, please call: 641-425-4695, or email: contact@MyHappyHair.org
Consult/Fitting fee: a non-refundable $50 consultation fee is required at the time of scheduling. This amount will be applied toward any wig purchase made during your appointment
WOMEN, WINE & WIGS
Women, Wine & Wigs is our lighthearted ladies’ night out – a relaxed evening where women can enjoy hors d’oeuvres, sip wine, laugh together, and try on beautiful wigs in a warm, welcoming space. We’ll host these nights periodically as new inventory arrives, giving women a chance to explore fresh styles and pick up a little wig education along the way. These events will be limited to only 10 women, so when dates are posted on the My Happy Hair Facebook page, you’ll want to sign up quickly. Follow us Facebook, These evenings are a gentle, low-pressure way to dip your toe into wigs – perfect for women who want to get out, spend time with others, or finally try something they’ve been curious about but didn’t want to do alone. If you’d like to form your own group, ask us about arranging a private Women, Wine & Wigs event. We’re happy to accommodate.
OUR VISION
Our hope is that My Happy Hair becomes a true destination for women – a place worth the drive, worth the day, worth the moment of joy it brings. Wig boutiques are few and far between and we want ours to feel like a safe, welcoming haven.
