Guests invited to Anonymous Content producer Robyn Meisinger’s oceanside wedding helped five young girls suffering from alopecia or cancer obtain beautiful new wigs
It was a perfect California day on Hermosa Beach. The sherbet colored sunset bathed the soft white sand in a gorgeous glow as hotshot Hollywood producer and literary manager Robyn Meisinger made her way toward the love of her life, commercial real estate executive Mike “TikTok” Guterman, an October wedding that led her adult daughter Olivia to declare, “Finally!”
The sunset ceremony was followed by a party at the trendy new Sea Sprite Beach Club hotel on The Strand with great music, amazing food, and even a tarot card reader. What was missing from this post-nuptial soiree was a gift table or a card box. Instead, the couple had requested that, in lieu of gifts, their guests were welcome to make a donation to Warrior Wigs, a nonprofit created by Diana Cowan and her daughter Laney Salvador, sparked by their small business Georgia Hair Solutions.
“Please no gifts,” the invitation read. “We have everything we need and only want to be with you all and have fun.” And help others.
Within days of the wedding, Warrior Wigs raised enough money from the couple’s guests that five teenage girls suffering debilitating hair loss because of cancer or alopecia were outfitted with new hairstyles handcrafted by Cowan, who lost her own hair due to alopecia.

Meisinger, a partner at Anonymous Content, fell hard for Cowan by watching the transformation on women’s faces as they sat in Cowan’s chair, videos posted to social media. “I watched and cried through her Instagram and TikTok videos. I just thought she was a magical woman.” When one of her clients, writer Joni Lefkowitz was diagnosed with cancer, Meisinger insisted the two of them take a road trip to Jackson, Georgia to meet Cowan in person.
“I was bawling,” Meisinger said of her experience. So was everyone else in the salon.

Raising so much money for Cowan’s nonprofit was just more magic sprinkled on Meisinger’s wedding to a man she met during COVID through Jesse Sharf, a real estate executive – and an unofficial legendary matchmaker – who has successfully set up a staggering 32 couples who have since made their way to the altar. Meisinger calls Guterman “TikTok,” and now so does everyone else, because Sharf and his partner, another Hollywood writer, Sara Goodman, had sent her a TikTok video of Guterman dancing with one of his two daughters. Five and a half years later, they were surrounded by his daughters, Quinn and Burgan Guterman, along with Meisinger’s daughter, a beautiful blended family at a wedding that helped other women and girls feel camera-ready and world-ready.
“All of it is God’s work,” Cowan told Los Angeles. Women and girls losing their hair is something that is not just physically destabilizing but also emotionally unnerving. “I know it from experience. So every wig I make is personal. This job has brought so many people into my life from all over the country, and so much sunshine into my soul.”
