Our Story

Hey Beautiful,

I am Deana and I started Coco and Melon in my small apartment 7 years ago.

It was then when I plucked up the courage to accept that my hair would never be the same again.

Let me rewind and tell you my story; I started losing my hair due to stress and anxiety in my mid 20's. My condition was called Alopecia Areata. Losing my hair really knocked back my self-confidence, and I became depressed, which made me lose more hair causing me to feel worse.

It got so bad that I had small patches of curly locks. It was hard; I would not go out and meet friends, just wanted to hide all the time. I would spend a lot of time sleeping and or just crying.  A friend suggested that I try wearing wigs, and I was totally against the idea. But then again, I was running out of ways to hide my problem.

So I eventually gave in and decided to buy a wig. I looked around for Human hair and synthetic ones but didn’t seem to like anything I saw or afford. But to be honest, I was not ready to accept my situation. I could not afford the fancy human hair wigs that were sold for thousands of dollars. So I invested in a synthetic wig; it had long black hair with bangs. It took some time to get used to it but slowly I started to get back some of my confidence, and as people complimented the hairstyles I would do with my little $30 wig, I began to feel a little bit like myself again. 

As my love for wigs grew, so did my wig making skills, (which is super therapeutic actually). 😅

Fast forward 6 years and I am obsessed with wigs because I love the freedom of changing my hair from deep curly to straight, purple to a short bob. I mean I never have a bad hair day anymore, and the best part of it all is that I may have lost my natural hair, but I found my self-confidence.
