A $150 wig at the wig store is typically around $80 online, and shipping is free if you remember to add the promo code (that everyone is able to use if they simply remember to add it).

Same exact wig but they buy in bulk so they can offer better prices.


I used to go to an actual wigmaker, but he sadly passed away years ago. He made his wigs by hand, cut and fitted the cap to my head before weaving a single knot of hair, then doubled the netting for me, and then did the hand-knotting of every single strand in the wig. Sometimes I'd visit him for a fill-in, and I'd get to watch him at work. He was a master wigmaker. It was a labor-intensive project and usually took a couple of months from the initial measurement to the final cut and style. The wigs ranged from $400 to $1500 (depending on type of hair and length), and were made from human hair.

Here's my current one (different color, same wig): Envy Wigs - Angel | Ace Wigs - The Original Wig Site

If you order online, who trims it up for you?
