Wig Info

I've received some questions as to where I get my wigs and which ones I like to wear.  I use the website wigsalon.com.  It's a lot cheaper than wig boutiques, but you do have to have a good idea of the colors/styles you like.  Exchanges/returns can be a pain.  As far as the wigs themselves, I have really only ever worn Rene of Paris wigs, but I've been branching out over the last little while.  I've found that the lace-front wigs are my new favorite.


What I'm currently wearing:

"Linda" by Jon Renau, color: Cinnamon Brown
I love the short A-line cut of this wig.  The bangs are a little thick and hard to pin back, but I love the rest of the look.  It has a monofilament top and a lace front, but I'm not as impressed with the lace like I am with the Eva Gabor wig.  With the bangs, however, it almost seems pointless to have the lace.  Overall, I do love the cut and color.

Here are my past favorites:

"Oppulence" by Eva Gabor, color: Sandy Blond
I love this cut! It is something I have been searching for for ages.  I wish I would have gotten a different color (maybe a darker blond), but it has been fun to try out something so different.  It also has a lace front and monofilament top so it looks very realistic.

"Shasta"(discontinued) Rene of Paris, color: "Ginger H"
I trimmed it a bit on the sides and in the back, so it's a bit different from the "out of the box" look.  I get lots of compliments, mainly from women wanting to know where I get my hair cut.  They are always shocked when I tell them it's a wig. (I figure it's easier to be honest than to lie about who does my hair. :-))  It has also held up quite nicely in the several times I've purchased it.  Perhaps it's because it's the shortest of all the wigs that I've tried.

The Rene of Paris 'Halo' (works with hats/scarves/etc. and is now discontinued).  It's good for warmer weather because it doesn't have a top :
