The local hero awards 🏆

🏆✨ WE WON!! BEST CHARITABLE COMPANY! ✨🏆

What an absolutely incredible night! ❤️

This weekend we had the honour of being invited to such a fantastic awards evening — and to top it all off, OCTO WON THE AWARD FOR BEST CHARITABLE COMPANY! 🥹🏆

I genuinely can’t put into words how proud I felt standing there and accepting this award. OCTO means so much to me, and what started from simply wanting to help people going through hair loss has grown into something far bigger than I ever imagined.

To have the work we do recognised in this way is such an honour. Every wig, every appointment, every person we support and every little bit of confidence we can give back is the reason we do what we do. 👑❤️

The whole evening was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. We laughed, celebrated, danced, probably drank a little too much 😂 and just had the BEST time. The atmosphere was incredible and it was so lovely being surrounded by so many amazing people and businesses.

Salisbury Radio A huge thank you for inviting us, for putting on such a fantastic event and, of course, for recognising OCTO with this award. We are so incredibly grateful.

And thank you to every single person who has donated, supported, fundraised, shared our posts or helped OCTO along the way. This award belongs to all of you too. ❤️

BEST CHARITABLE COMPANY… I still can’t quite believe it! 🏆🥹

Here’s to helping even more people fix their crowns. 👑❤️

We were able to give Ciara her princess hair free of charge yesterday thanks to you all ✨

Ciara has an aggressive form of breast cancer that has thankfully been caught early enough to treat. Shes had surgery on the lump and lymph nodes and will be having about 9 months of treatment involving chemo and radiation. She plans on cold capping in the hope It can grow her hair back, but will likely shave it when it’s really sparse.

“I’m someone who doesn’t feel me without long hair and couldn’t fathom being bald and also the effect that would have on my 2 small kids.

I knew the kind of wig I wanted and after much research it looked like it was going to cost me £3000 which was way beyond what I could afford. I was unable to secure any funding or nhs help and was considering setting up a go fund me, but then I was recommended the hair extension cave. My consultations were amazing. Everyone was so nice and accommodating and the appointment was so much fun. I got exactly the type of wig I dreamt of and I haven’t had to worry about paying huge amounts of money for it with has removed a massive burden. Now I don’t dread my hair falling out, but welcome it as a new start and I’ve got gorgeous wigs to make me feel like me while I reclaim what this disease has tried to take from me”

Thank you for trusting us Ciara 🥰
