Losing your hair during cancer treatment can be one of the most challenging and emotional parts of your journey. At Tammy Lobato Wigs, we understand how deeply personal this experience can be, and we’re here to help you feel comfortable, confident, and supported every step of the way.

Our wigs for cancer patients are designed to restore a sense of normality and self-expression — combining natural appearance, secure fit, and lasting comfort.

With over 30 years’ experience in wig design and fitting, we provide a private, understanding environment where you can explore your options and find the perfect look.

Remove the GST from Medical Wigs

We are campaigning to change GST legislation to remove it from medical wigs in line with other prostheses.

We understand that privacy and comfort are essential, especially during such a personal time. All fittings and maintenance sessions are held in a private, welcoming setting where you can relax and feel supported throughout the process.

If you’d like to explore your options or ask any questions before booking, we are always happy to help.

Natural, Lightweight Human Hair Wigs

Our Wig Range includes premium human hair wigs for cancer patients, chosen for their comfort, softness, and natural movement. Each wig can be washed, styled, and treated much like your own hair, helping you feel more like yourself every day.

We also offer synthetic options at our Narre Warren Salon and customised fittings at all of our locations to suit your lifestyle, scalp sensitivity, and individual preferences. Whether you’re after a timeless short style, natural waves, or long layers, we’ll help you find the perfect match.

Maintenance and Care for Human Hair Wigs

Just like natural hair, human hair wigs need regular care to maintain their look, feel, and longevity. At our salon, we offer professional washing and styling services to keep your wig looking its best. This maintenance can be scheduled monthly or as needed, depending on how often you wear your piece and the style you prefer. Regular maintenance not only helps preserve the condition of the hair but also ensures your wig continues to fit comfortably and look beautifully natural.

For clients who wish to care for their wigs at home, we also provide a complimentary wash and style education session. During this personalised appointment, our expert wig stylists guide you through the correct washing techniques, recommended products, and styling tips tailored to your specific wig. The goal is to give you the confidence to maintain your human hair wig safely and effectively between salon visits — ensuring it stays soft, healthy, and beautifully styled for longer.

Wigs for Kids Going Through Cancer Treatment

Many children undergoing cancer treatment experience temporary hair loss due to chemotherapy. Our wigs for kids with cancer are designed to provide both comfort and confidence during this difficult time.

We use lightweight, breathable cap designs that sit softly on sensitive scalps, allowing children to play, go to school, and participate in daily life with ease. When hair begins to grow back, we can adjust or restyle the wig as needed.

Restoring Confidence Through Care

Hair loss from cancer treatment can be life-changing, but with the right support, you can regain your sense of self. At Tammy Lobato Wigs, our caring, professional approach focuses on more than just hair — it’s about helping you feel confident, comfortable, and seen.

What Our Clients Have to Say

I just wanted to say a huge "thank you" to Tammy for the empowering experience and exceptional support my husband and I received when attending her bespoke salon. Tammy is gentle, caring, understanding and has first hand experience, which are just a few of the traits that make her service exceptional. With great attention to detail, a great ear to listen to and facilitating a purchase within your budget. Tammy was able to help me find what was not only a gorgeous wig, but was able to help me feel better about myself and feeling more comfortable about wearing not just a wig, but my new hair. She ensured that I knew how to care for my wig to get the most out of it and is available for ongoing support…. I wouldn't go anywhere else and I would highly recommend to others to not go anywhere else either… Thanks Tammy xx

Thought we would share with you feedback from one of our clients who wears a Bonded Wig. Rachel has been wearing our wigs since she developed complete hairloss from Alopecia a few years ago. What she missed most was not being able to have hair on to go to bed, to shower and to swim. So we decided together that she would be a great candidate for a Bonded Wig - using medical grade adhesive to provide semi permanent hair that stays on 24 hours per day. We think Rachel is a bit happy about it 😉

"I just wanted to let you know how happy I am with my hair bonding. I would highly suggest this to anybody in the same situation as me. I never thought I would get a sense of being back to my normal self with my hairloss but this has made that happen. The ability to sleep and shower in it without taking it off makes me fee like I just have my own hair back and has made me feel much more confident once again. Whoever thought I'd wake up with bed hair again haha or be able to stick it up in a 'mummy bun'. Please tell Elvira a huge thank you from me and thank you to you and Tammy Mc for working with me, listening to me and just being patient! All you ladies are superheroes."

Thank you Rachel for sharing this so that others learn about other options for their hairloss. We are so happy for you. ❤️❤️❤️

Rachel - Thank you note

I was 2 years into my hair loss nightmare when I became aware of Tammy Lobato and her bonded replacement hair systems.

My hair loss was so significant that every aspect of my life was impacted and it took me a further 3 years before I finally made my first appointment!

I sit here today and think oh god i wish I had of done it sooner!

What an amazing team of genuine, compassionate and non-judgemental ladies. Ladies who draw on both their personal and professional experiences and understand there are no 2 journeys alike.

The freedom I feel from the weight that lifted off of my shoulders in just 3 months, is incredible... I am now looking forward to and can’t wait to do all things with my daughter that I would never have considered doing even just a few months back!

For anyone who is experiencing any type of hair loss, without any hesitation, i recommend you giving them a call...you won't be disappointed that did!
