JenGer Doll
“My ThriveOn loan helped me take care of major overhead expenses, giving me the room to focus on essential projects and decisions that ultimately positioned my business for growth opportunities I didn’t have before.”
Jennifer Brown- CEO
JenGer Doll Medical Wigs & Accessories is a three-year-old business founded and operated by Jennifer Brown, a licensed cosmetologist, who has expanded her practice beyond traditional beauty services into specialized medical hair replacement and prosthetic solutions. The business serves individuals experiencing medical hair loss due to cancer, alopecia, and other health-related conditions, with a focus on dignity, education, and medically appropriate care.
The ThriveOn Loan Program provided critical financial relief during a pivotal period of growth and transition for JenGer Doll. Loan support allowed the business to remain open while Jennifer pursued board certification accreditation, a rigorous process required to operate as a medical provider. By easing immediate financial pressure, the loan enabled leadership to focus on compliance, education, and long-term scaling rather than short-term survival. This support was instrumental in helping the business transition from a cosmetic-focused model to a medically certified prosthetic clinic offering durable medical equipment (DME).
