Hi Girls:

My spouse asked me to post here and see what others might like to recommend in the way of quality wigs that they themselves have experience with. We often have used the company, "Paula Young," but most of those are short wigs these days as she is wanting to find somthing that is shoulder length and that it looks as real as possible without getting into the $199 and up range. We looked over the current "Paula Young" web site and the few that fit the "bill" are not "it."



:) :) :)

So any ideas are welcome! She will need to wear this 8 - 10 hours each day over her existing medium length thinning hair, so it needs to be light, airy, and comfortable. :) :) :)

Hugs

Danielle Marie

I suggest a visit to a local salon for trying on.

As for web sites, there's http://www.beautytrends.com.

Also, a UK site run by an online friend. http://wigtopia.co.uk

I will ditto Donna on this. Go to a local salon. If she does not find something she likes at the first one go to another. This way she should get a good wig, a good fit, and good service.

I just got the latest Paula Young catalogue and I agree, they have very few mid to long length any longer. Most of mine are from Paula Young and they have been excellent but they just don't seem to carry the mid length any more. Try Revlon Wigs also. The sites that my sisters also mentioned are good as well.

Good luck and let us know what happens.

Love ya,

Virginia

The wig company as mentioned, has the largest selection. I have two long ones, and my wife has 4 med., and 4 short wigs. The long wigs start at a higher price , around $80 in the large size.

I know you are looking for others. I just recently found Paula Young though and it is great for me because I prefer short hair wigs. I got me two of them and I love them both.

My only long haired one I got locally at a wig shop in town so I can't help you there. But I do wish you success.

Have a wonderful day.

Well my memory being as good as its not! I cant rem the name of the company, but I can tell you that I bought them from eBay. They are Page Boy style and are made from human hair.

The best wigs I have ever had. Wish I could remember the name of the retailer!

cheers

I just received a long-hair wig that I made my favorite. Here is the link to it: http://thewigcompany.com/product.asp_Q_pn_E_175

I have always wanted to try a shoulder-length and now I love it. Certainly a bargain. Quick delivery.

As soon as I get round to taking some photos, I'll post them in the now repaired photo gallery.

Hugs,

Lydia

Hi,

Well by coincidence I have found the package label for those wigs on Ebay, I hope it helps. The name of the distributer is:

TROIKA INTERNATIONAL INC. Los Angeles CA 90023

I have tried a few mail orders for wigs. Recently I went to a wig store and bought one for about $200. Believe me high quality is the way to go. You will be purchasing about 3 mistakes and then you will finally go to the wig shop and get a good one. Thereby wasting your money on cheap wigs.

I'm not not an expert on wigs but on eBay the vendors name is " JASMINEWIGS " she has 100's of wigs. all different sizes, lengths, and colors to choose from. That's where I got Hailey's from. The reason I went with that store the wigs start out around $30.00 & went up from there. This way just like a woman she will be able to change color and length any time she wants and it won't break the bank.

For me personally, I have ordered all of my wigs through Paula Young and have never really had much issue on fit. They give you specific instructions on their site how to measure yourself for a proper fit and many of their wigs are available in all sizes. Of course there are some that are only available in smaller sizes, but since males tend to traditionally have larger craniums this is understandable.
