Hard To Find Wigs are Found With Dignity in Dover, New Hampshire
I have an acquaintance who has a different hair style every time I see her. I don’t know her circumstance, but I do know she can pick out the right style for her face and make it look fabulous every time.
What I did not know is she lost all of her hair. Her gorgeous locks were all wigs. When she told me, I felt so happy she didn’t lose her sparkle for who she was…always known as the woman with the beautiful hair.
It never occurred to me where she found her wigs until a friend of mine was diagnosed with cancer recently and lost all of her hair. This friend also had sumptuous hair, so when she lost it from stem cell therapy, she freaked out a bit.
I asked her about buying a wig. She told me they are thousands of dollars and her insurance only covered $700, so she wasn’t sure she was able to afford it.
Not only was the cost a concern, but she couldn’t find a reputable wig center with real human hair wigs. She found plenty of cheaper synthetic wigs, but not human hair wigs.
My friend had enough to deal with being a cancer patient, let alone worry about her hair. She was always a very stylish woman, so why should she give up on the chicness which made her feel her best.
She finally found a wig center 30 miles away, and spent quite a bit on a wig that was very close to her previous hair color and cut.
CAUSE Hair Salon via Facebook
We all know someone affected by cancer, and many lose their precious hair. Great wigs are hard to find, but I did come across a wig center in Dover, New Hampshire that gets it.
CAUSE Hair Salon has a full wig center by appointment. The owner, Michelle Meagher, lost her mom to ovarian cancer, but during her mom’s treatment they had a difficult time locating reputable wig salons who didn’t ask about insurance first.
Michelle decided to open a wig center attached to her salon so she could offer dignity in a private area for people with full or partial hair loss in a confidential setting, according to fosters.com.

TRAENE Fitness Pickleball Brings Pickleball Courts And Wellness Options To Dover
Dover, New Hampshire is finally going to see something go into the old Ames Building, (same plaza as Hannaford) at 833 Central Avenue. It’s not just “something,” it’s a Community space we didn’t know we wanted.
Justin Grondahl is the owner of TRAENE Fitness & Pickleball and he’s opening one here in Dover. He has 63,000 square feet to make beautiful. Justin is the son of the co-founder of Planet Fitness that started right here in Dover, New Hampshire.
Justin spent some time with me here in the Townsquare Studios and told me everything we can expect.
You will not believe what he has in store for this place. It makes me want to move to Dover. (although it’s like my 2nd home – I’m here all. the. time.) Check out what his plans are:
- 10 indoor pickleball courts
- 3,000 Square Foot Classroom for Megaformer Pilates Classes
- 20,000 square feet of just gym equipment
- 2 Cold Plunges
- 3 Saunas, with three floors. Lots of people can fit into them
- Big Locker Rooms
- Red Light Beds
- Massage Chairs
- Massage Beds
- Tanning Booths
TRAENE Recently Added a Peptide Clinic to their Plans
If you are unfamiliar with peptides, they are chains of amino acids that help you heal injuries, build muscles and in some cases, lose weight.
After Justin told me all this, I asked if they will have food and drinks too because it was the only thing I could think of that they didn’t mention! He said, “yes, we’ll have something.”
What’s Up With the Penguin?
When Justin came into the studio, he had a TRAENE branded shirt that included a penguin. When I asked him why a Penguin, he said that it has always been his favorite animal because they are very tied to their Community. They never really leave and they are always together.

Justin is already under construction of TRAENE. He said they should be open in the Fall of 2026.
Another incredible perk of being part of the TRAENE community is they are going to pick between 10 – 15 Members of the Month who are going to get rewards like:
- Renting out a race track
- Limo service to Bruins or Celtics games, whichever the member chooses
These trips will be all paid for, all free, Justin said.
