Mimi's Wig BoutiqueTaking someone with you
"Do I look natural?"
"Can you tell that I have on a wig?"
These are the two questions universally asked by our clientele. We've found that most of our customers feel better about their final selections when they have the assistance of a friend, husband or relative who knows them well enough to help make an honest judgment and answer the above questions. It is very difficult for a wig stylist that has never seen you to make a realistic judgment on how natural you look in a wig. The wig stylist can make judgments on the fit, how the style matches your facial shape, and how the color of the wig matches your skin color.
You need someone that knows you to make a good judgment on how natural the wig looks. If you have a support person to assist you, be sure and ask them to make an honest judgment on:
... How well does the color match? - (Go outside and check the color in the sun.)
... Is the length OK?
... Does the style match your own style?
... You can see the front. Have someone else check the sides and back of the wig.
... Does the wig look like a wig?
Be sure your support gives you a 100% honest opinion. After the wig stylist shows you how to wear the wig, make sure -- you put the wig on. Then ask your support person the above questions. If it looks like a wig, ask the wig stylist to show you every technique they know on putting on the wig. Remember that the job of the wig stylist is to give you all the information you need to wear and care for the wig.
