WYANDANCH BARBERSHOP JOINS ISLIP SPA MADE FAMOUS BY DOCUMENTARY ABOUT HELPING CANCER PATIENTS
WYANDANCH, N.Y. -- Mondays are special for people going through cancer on Long Island.
Free beauty and wellness services are offered by a nonprofit organization. Monday began a new chapter, with the first barbershop joining the effort in pampering men.
A cancer diagnosis is hard enough. Then add in the loss of hair from chemo.
"Losing the hair was the most traumatic experience," Carmine Buquicchio said. "I was crying. I was sitting in the chair holding hands of supportive people from Racine's."
Racine is a name made famous in the 2013 Oscar-nominated documentary "Mondays at Racine." The Islip spa offers free services to people with cancer.
