Today's saint is courtesy of an inquiry from Peg. I could not find a patron saint of baldness, but I did find several with "bald" as part of their name. The one most likely referred to by your Priest is St. Balderic.
St. Balderic is another 7th century Saint. He and his sister, St. Bova, were children of children of Sigebert I, King of Austrasia (an area that is now Eastern France and Western Germany). He became the Abbot-Founder of a convent at Reims and Montfaucon Abbey in France. He lead a life of prayer and penance and was venerated as a Saint after his death.
St. Balderic's feast day is October 16.
