Hi All,

Can anyone tell me if the Glamour Boutique does wig styling?

I need a little bangs cut on my new wig and prolly won't have time to
get it done before I leave. If the Glam Boutique does not do styling,
can someone recommend a tg friendly place in Vegas that does?

Any info is greatly appreciated!!!

Thanx,

Gina M.

Hello Gina M.

Harmony Spa and Nail/Paula also does excellent wig hair styling,
both synthetic and human wigs.

Hope it helps...

Hi Carole,

> So then, who do you all reccommend for new wigs?

The DLV web page on business have several wig
shops that are recommended.

But...

There are many aspects to choosing a wig that
could determine which wig shop to go to based
on the variety of wigs they have available that
works with your face and body. Many nail and
hair stylist places also carry a line or two of different
wigs. So does the internet.

Most, if not all wig shops has a place to try on the wig
of your choice on your head to see how it looks, but it
can be as basic as a mirror in the general show room.
Some have private cubicles, others don't. It depends
on how confident you are or knowing exactly what you
are looking for.

I do recommend to try the wig on before buying it to see
how it looks on your head. It can be a big difference in
how the wig looks like on a foam head versus how it looks
on you.

Some wigs will need some sort of altering, shaping or
actually cutting parts like bangs shorter to fit your face, so
you need to find one that can do that for you after you
buy the wig.

The shop should also have accessories for the wig, like
wig shampoo and conditioner, stands, and other items
needed for wig maintenance.

Aspects to consider:

1. Size of head and matching wig cap size
2. Color of wig hair - solid, mixed, highlighted, or matching your real hair
3. Length of the wig hair - short, medium, long, show girl
4. Style - straight, wavy, curly, spike, - that matches your face and appropriate age
5. Type - Synthetic or Human
6. Quality - well known brands, unknown brands, custom made wigs
7. Does the wig look like real hair or fake on your head?
8. How much money you want to spend.

The one I recommend highly is not the most convenient.

I usually send people to Vegas Girl Wigs in the
Fantastic Indoor Swap Meet. They have been doing
business with DLVers for over a decade.

The bad news is that they're only open Friday,
Saturday, and Sunday, and they are in a huge and zooey
flea market type building that tends to be very
crowded and such.

There's also another wig vendor there a couple aisles
down (forget the name, it's on the Big List) which is
good two. If one doesn't have what you want they will
probably send you to the other.

And then there's Serge. :)
