Other Services

Simply Beautiful

Simply Renewed

Genesee Cancer Assistance coordinates our Simply Beautiful wig program through Meraki Beauty Hair Salon, located at 108 W. Main Street in Batavia. The program is designed to help cancer patients deal with hair loss and skin changes by providing individual, personalized care in       a serene environment. Licensed cosmetologists will work with each individual to select and make their wig feel like an effortless, seamless part of themselves by custom cutting and styling       each wig, as well as guiding how to wear them, style, and care for them. 

In tandem with this, Simply Renewed is an alternative option that allows experienced estheticians and nail technicians to provide patients with a soothing spa treatment, aiming to offer an experience that fosters both physical and emotional well-being. From facials and skincare to revitalizing hand/foot treatments, this spa experience encourages healthy skin while providing a       renewed feeling. Services are provided at the Beauty Lounge, located at 206 E. Main St, Batavia.

The Simply Beautiful-Simply Renewed Program is available to all approved patients in addition to the financial assistance offered. Services are provided by appointment only.                                              Call (585)345-0417 for more information.
