This week I had the pleasure of assisting with the purchase of, fittings, customizing, installations and delivering (safely, of course) of a lot of hair to some of my favorite clients. In the end, over a thousand grams of hair was distributed which I find so exciting.
To witness the pure joy when a woman enhances or extends her hair is very satisfying. (I have yet to work on a man with a toupee or hair-enhancement). To each their own, and everyone has their reasons for adding a little or lot of extra hair to their lives. What a treat for me to be a part of it.
This is me sharing my three very unique experience with my clients:
One fitting and consulting on customizing a wig was for a woman going through cancer treatment. Although she has hair, the treatment is leaving it very frail and at times she simply does not want to have to style her own hair. The wig I found for her within budget required me to stich into it some grey, so it was peppered like hers was naturally. I was up for the challenge. It made her feel so good that I would customize it for her. Some things that come easy to us can be so complicated for others; there is nothing better than helping someone with something you are confident with.
One Mother, One Daughter and Two ponytails made of real hair which attach high or low for volume, density and length were so fun and easy. The ladies were so excited they picked an extra one up for the Sister that was not able to join the hair shopping tour. This was a shame as we visited several local hair and wig shops;( All of which adhered to the Covid Codes of Conduct). Watching Mother and Daughter bond over 22 to 24-inch ponytails was so fun.
Here comes the bride. She is getting married soon and even though it will be small keeping in compliance with covid wedding rules… it is still a stressful time. She flew in for her hair fitting. We decided an integrated hairpiece which literally sits on top of her head using four to five small clips; its genius really!!! If your wondering why everyone does not have one, it is because it is expensive. It fit like a glove. I tried to convince her to save it up like the dress so the groom doesn’t see it before the wedding but I know the moment I finish blending a few colours into it she will want to wear it. I have already taken the liberty of customizing two.
The benefits of wigs and hair pieces are varied for everyone. What better time to try new styles? Show up at the next Zoom meeting with a totally new hairstyle and see if anyone notices.
