Kathy Zito
is this year’s MVBWN Endowment Award winner.
She has been a licensed cosmetologist
for over ten years, and is currently growing
her new business, Wigged Out, a full-service
hair & wig salon.
Kathy is a cancer survivor, and dedicates
her business to others who have lost their
hair due to illness or chemotherapy. “I
know when I was going through treament,
I had a variety of wigs to match the mood
I was in,” she says. “I want to help other
people feel the best they can feel in
the same situation. This is my way of
giving back and helping those who are
feeling as I did in a crucial time in
their lives.”
UPDATE: Kathy has been diagnosed with a recurrance of cancer. Send her your prayers and well-wishes today to 1036 Culver Ave, Utica.
UPDATE: 10/3 Kathy has been doing very well on traditional and non-traditional treatments... |
