“Despite the challenges that come with a cancer diagnosis, there’s something incredibly freeing about it that pushes you to find a deeper purpose in life. When I was nominated for an experience with Survivor Glam Squad, it felt like the perfect opportunity. On the day of my makeover, I felt a sense of freedom, comfort, beauty and strength that I hadn’t experienced in a while. SGS truly felt like home - a transformative experience that will stay with me forever.”

-Hannah, Survivor

“As a hairstylist, the opportunity to work with SGS and the strong women going through cancer has been the most gratifying thing I have ever had the pleasure to experience. Thank you so much.”

- Jessica, Hairstylist

“It was so special what y'all did for me after feeling so down about my looks and an all-time low in self-confidence. My makeup artist made me feel like an actual rockstar! I'll never forget her awesomeness, not to mention the hair, and pep talk, and photoshoot! I literally came home with the best picture I've ever seen of my face! This was a once in a lifetime experience that made the worst thing in the world not so bad!”

-Katie, Survivor

“It really just makes me happy to make a woman feel empowered. They look in the mirror and I don’t think they see what we all see. We see them as survivors, as champions, as beautiful. But my satisfaction comes from actually showing them that they are beautiful.”

-Jessica, Makeup Artist

“The makeovers were such an incredible experience, both doing them and having one done on myself. I had my makeover when I was relatively fresh out of my cancer journey and my hair was very short. I didn’t feel great about myself, but after my makeover my confidence was boosted and I hope I was able to do that for someone else when I was giving the makeovers.”

-Joanna, Survivor and Volunteer

“I just feel so special and glamorous and I love the transformation. This is going to be something that I’ll remember forever. I’m really grateful. Keep giving back and I will do the same.”

-Tina, Survivor

“Cancer and its after effects take a lot out of you physically, mentally and emotionally. It feels so good to be pampered and made over by Survivor Glam Squad! They remind all of us in our survivorship that we are still beautiful, no matter what scars we bear.”

-Mina, Survivor

“We lose more than just the things cancer takes away from us. We lose our spirit. We lose our beauty, interior and exterior, but today you really helped to bring that back.”

-Krista, Survivor

“You stop caring what you look like. Some days I'm just glad to get out of bed. But today was really fun. I feel like it's told me, "You're back, Nicole, you really are!" It's great to be with a bunch of other survivors too. We all have different stories and it was great to share them.”

-Nicole, Survivor

“I loved working with Survivor Glam Squad (SGS), everyone involved poured their hearts ito making those who have faced cancer reclaim a piece of themselves that cancer may have taken. The makeover I had in Denver at CancerCon 2016 made me feel more fabulous than I had in years! I am incredibly grateful for everyone who works for SGS and has volunteered!”

-Marianne, Survivor

“The makeover was awesome! I never thought I could look like that... but best of all, I met some of the most amazing women ever!!! I just can't thank you enough for the experience. You will never know how much it meant and has affected my life.”

-Terri, Survivor
