Divine Beauty Bar (DMV)

Divine Beauty Bar was created in July 2016 and is operated by Divine Beauty Bar, LLC. The business describes itself as a certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned company and an accredited Durable Medical Equipment facility. It has three locations: Houston, Texas, and Upper Marlboro and Fort Washington, Maryland.

Cranial prostheses are the core of the hair replacement work. Each unit is custom-made from a mold of the client's head and uses a material meant to keep it in place during activity such as running or swimming. Units can be made in a range of colors, looks and styles, and the collections are grouped by length and style: Short & Sweet for pixies and shorter styles under 12 inches, Locs & Braids, and Luxurious & Long for lengths over 12 inches. The business works with a client's physician or dermatologist, helps with the insurance process, and suggests other hair loss options when insurance does not cover a prosthesis. Men, women and children are accepted. Consultations can be in person or virtual, and the business serves clients across the USA for virtual consultations.

Veterans are a major part of the work. The business says it has provided wigs, mastectomy bras and breast prostheses to veterans since 2018, through its Wigs for Veterans initiative, and that it has partnered with more than 24 VA hospitals. Veterans enrolled in VA healthcare can have an in-person consultation and measurements at no cost, with the VA covering the consultation and wig, and a $1 consultation call reviews eligibility, goals and the referral process. Veterans authorized by a VA hospital receive one complimentary cranial prosthesis install, and re-installs are $100. Custom breast prostheses begin with a 3D scan taken with a phone app, followed by skin tone matching and fitting, and veteran prostheses are delivered within 45 days.

Beyond hair replacement, the business offers luxury K-Tip keratin bond extensions, including traditional fusion and invisible micro-bond installs, plus consultations, maintenance and removal. Its licensed school runs a 1,000-hour cosmetology program, a 300-hour natural hair weaving specialty and a 320-hour eyelash extension specialty, with some programs available online. Payment options include most major medical insurance, VA benefits, HSA/FSA and CareCredit.

Combines hair replacement with attention to the emotional side of hair loss, aiming to ease stress, anxiety, depression and grief related to it. Works alongside each client's physician or dermatologist on cranial prosthesis treatment.
