A PRESTATYN beauty stylist is reaching out across the border to give cancer patients back their "crown and glory".

Rebecca Morgan Brennan, of Morgan's Hair, Beauty & Wigs will follow up receiving an NHS contract to provide wigs to cancer patients in the North West on Friday, February 1 by opening Coventry's only shop next Monday.

She said: "It all means so much to me, I'm so incredibly passionate about what I do.

"About 4 percent of people refuse chemotherapy because they don't want to lose their hair, and it can take up to 42 weeks to see a dermatologist for other conditions.

"I feel that it's so important to give people their crown and glory back and now we're casting our net even wider to help more people feel good in the costume they wear every day.

"As I'm originally from Coventry, and as they currently don't have a wig shop,the next step was to move into there."

This expansion into the Midlands with her third salon joins locations in Chester and a move into the former Prestatyn Blockbuster, from its original spot High Street last November, along with a renewal of the business' first two year NHS contract for North Wales patients.

Mrs Morgan Brennan added: "It all started because a friend of mine had breast cancer and was given an NHS wig which was juts awful - she didn't feel right wearing it at all - and the nearest place to go was in Liverpool or Manchester.

After setting up the business by herself 11 years ago and providing a 'wig bank' for cancer patients, Mrs Morgan Brennan has grown the business to employ five specially trained staff and offers her services to patients in Glan Clwyd Hospital and Ysbyty Gwynedd, with consultations and styling to help people living with various conditions or treatments that could cause hair loss.

This second NHS contract will see her offer similar services to people in Clatterbridge, Chester and Shrewsbury.

Mrs Morgan Brennan also provides self care and beauty workshops for both men and women with cancer as regional co-ordinator for the charity Look Good Feel Better, as well as cosmetic and private styling from her larger, disabled friendly shop which also offers private styling rooms to cater for religious and other requirements.

Mrs Brennan added: "Not only are we able to help more people, and be sensitive to their needs, but we've brought something new an attractive to Prestatyn High Street after that building lay closed for many years.

"To achieve what we have is all down to a lot of hard work."
