Medical Wigs & Solutions
I am Angela Jackson, a licensed Cosmetologist, Certified Hair Loss and Cranial Prosthesis
Specialist and Makeup Artist. I have over 30 years of experience in the beauty industry. I change
women's lives by altering the way they view themselves and give them back their dignity and
confidence. Hair care has always been my gift and my passion, but discovering natural and
holistic ways to address hair loss has become my mission. Hair loss affects people
psychologically and emotionally and may also affect our health if not properly addressed and
handled. After personally experiencing hair loss a number of times for various reasons, I became
more intrigued to learn in depth the triggers of hair loss and what can be done about it. This
passion for learning heightened after Covid 2020 when my mother and my two aunts lost nearly
70% of their hair 3 months after contracting the virus. I made it my mission to study further to
gather more information and find natural and holistic solutions to address and/or correct the
issue. With a hair and scalp analysis, I am able to determine the type of hair loss my client is
dealing with and offer natural treatments to aggressively address the type of hair loss that will
reap lasting results. If hair growth is not an option, I create customizable medical prosthetic units
for my clients that will wear seamlessly, offering a natural look that will immediately boost her
esteem and give her the confidence she desires. Becoming a hair loss specialist is a
game-changer for me as there is nothing more gratifying than changing people's lives giving
them an instant boost of confidence and increasing their self-esteem. I am so glad that you have
taken the time to get to know me and I cannot wait to be of service.

SL Patterson Gallery
Steven Patterson is a visual Urban Abstract Artist. He uses daily life experiences and creativity to produce images that challenge how the world around him is viewed.
Like many gifted artists, Steven Patterson’s love for the arts and talent developed at an early age. Steven's mother saw his artistic ability at age of 5. He would come home from school in his hometown of Orlando, FL with a level of detail in his work that his teachers didn't believe was his. As his love for the arts continued to develop, Steven's first art piece was published in Middle School as a two-page spread in his local hometown art magazine. His art has been awarded by the Florida Art Education Association in the 2011 K-12 Visual Art Digital Exhibition.
After graduating from High School in Orlando FL, he attended Valencia Community College where he received his AA Degree, then transitioned to The University of West Florida to pursue his BA degree in Communications. He continued his education and received his master’s degree in organizational communication from Bowie State University. After graduating, he relocated to Louisiana for work but his love for the Arts grew in new ways. Mr. Patterson went full-time selling his work at the French Market and on Royal Street in New Orleans, LA. Although his time spent in New Orleans was short-lived, he takes that experience with him as he now resides in Maryland.
Steven Patterson’s resume speaks of a well-advanced and accomplished artist while holding on to the journeys of his youth. Steven’s works have a strong popular appeal and are loved by professional artists. He has been commissioned by various private collectors as early as thirteen. Steven likes to incorporate various media into his work, although he favors acrylic, which he found most suitable for his Abstract Artwork. Steven’s strength is his use of color, undefined line structures, and placement which evokes special moments that people of all ages can relate to. Some paintings once titled are the starting point for their own discovery of what can be found in the painting.
