How long will a wig last?

This will depend on how much the wig is used and how well it’s cared for, but at least a year. For wigs with only occasional use, much longer.

Do you use real human hair?

Yes, all of our wigs are handmade and knotted using the finest European hair, unless otherwise requested. Stacy has a broad knowledge of hair types available to create anything from creatures to film quality wigs. We will always endeavour to use the correct material so the hair piece or wig is fit for its purpose.

How does the wig stay on?

There are a variety of methods for applying a wig, depending on whether you have long, short or no hair underneath. The lace front is usually glued down unless you don’t want to use glue, in which case we can offer a glueless front. All of these options can be discussed at the consultation.

How long does a wig take to make?

A wig usually takes about 100 hours to make.

How long do I have to wait until I receive my wig once ordered?

From the point of consultation, we will aim to have the wig with you in approximately 4-6 weeks.

Do you make wigs for men?

We can make wigs and toupees for men, but a consultation is always recommended first to establish expectations.

What is the process of ordering a wig?

We will begin the process with an initial consultation, which usually lasts about an hour. After this, we make a foundation for the wig and purchase the hair in readiness for a second consultation for fitting and hair sign off. After this, we will knot the wig. There will be a final meeting to fit, cut and style the hair and run through applying/wearing the wig.

How much will my wig cost?

A quote can be given after a consultation.

Do Stacy Plaza wigs come with a guarantee?

We will guarantee the wig for 6 months.

Is the maintenance of the wig an additional fee?

The wig will be maintained at no extra charge for 6 months as long as the wig has been looked after as instructed. If the wig has excessive damage it can be repaired on a day rate.

Can I wash, and blow dry a wig?

Yes, the wig can be washed and blow-dried every week or every other week as required. The hair must be kept hydrated with a moisturising blow dry spray.

Can I colour the wig?

The wig can be coloured, but we’d suggest getting the colour selection right at the initial stages. Highlights, ballyage and rooted colouring techniques can all be done with knotting which prevents damaging the hair and any potential fading.

Will the wig shed hair?

The wig will shed hair over time but very minimally as long as it is cared for adequately. This is why we offer one free maintenance during the six-month period. Shedding normally occurs where the wig has been handled or glued.

Will my hair grow okay under the wig?

Your hair will grow fine underneath the wig and we can offer a glueless front if you don’t want any adhesives on your skin.

Will you cut my wig?

The wig will receive a basic cut. Some people have preferred stylists who are comfortable cutting wigs. This is completely at your discretion.

Where is my wig made?

All wigs are made in the UK.
