Welcome to project revitalise!
Sometimes you need to feel a little more yourself after a life changing illness.
You might have come across our postcard at various establishments.
We are searching for those, whose lives have been profoundly affected by permanent or temporary hair loss due to a medical condition, chemotherapy or radiation treatment.
Under Te Whatu Ora's Section 88, funding is available to cover 100% of your Permanent Makeup treatments. Any shortfalls will be absorbed by The Refinery. If you are declined, don't worry, we've got you!
We'll start with giving you back some of you, with:

- permanent lash liner (free if your subsidy credit covers your brow treatment)
- laser removal of radiation marker tattoos (all sessions complementary)
- source high quality, synthetic and human hair wigs & hair pieces, in the latest styles and most natural colours (7- 10 day delivery)
Then, you can resume planning your next adventure of meaningful experiences and connections.
