Leonard Smith

Leonard is a dedicated hairstylist with a deep passion for helping others. While he originally pursued a master’s degree in another field, his path shifted after witnessing close friends undergo cancer treatments and experience hair loss. This profound experience led him to seek a greater purpose, and through prayer and reflection, he felt called to make a difference. He returned to school to earn his Master of Social Work (MSW), focusing on supporting individuals navigating cancer diagnoses.

During his journey, a friend introduced him to cold capping, and he was amazed at how much hair she was able to preserve. Inspired, he began reaching out to cancer centers and nonprofit organizations, learning more about the impact of scalp cooling therapy. Now, as he prepares for a career in oncology social work, he is excited to step into the role of a traveling capper, bringing both expertise and compassion to those undergoing treatment.

With a flexible daytime schedule, Leonard is eager to provide full-time capping support. His background in working with insurance companies, combined with his family’s deep ties to oncology—his sister is an oncology nurse—further fuels his commitment to this field. Leonard is honored to be part of a team that empowers patients to maintain a sense of normalcy and confidence during treatment.
