This area of our work
started in 1981, taking on a business that had been
established by the Whitehead family way back in 1926, making
bespoke wigs (hand made). This process has changed very
little over the years. However, the materials used have
changed; when the Company was first established up until
around 1980, the wigs were made with pure silk foundations;
now they are all made with a nylon base, but still using
European hair. Each hair is hand knotted, in the direction
that the Client wishes to wear their hair, the colour and
length chosen by the Client.
Handmade pieces can
take anything from four to eight weeks for completed; Clients
these days require things very quickly, therefore synthetic
fibre wigs can be obtained off the shelf and do look very
realistic.
All wigs and hairpieces can be cut and
styled and any alterations can be undertaken. If a human hair
wig/hairpiece is required, these can be coloured and
additional hair placed in to their requirements and if they
are handmade.
People who would consult are men loosing
hair over the top of their heads, requiring toupees; ladies
who loose/thin hair in the same area may require added hair;
full wigs for Clients who have permanent hair loss, or short
term wearers such as people who are undergoing chemotherapy.
Also children requiring a full wig for whatever reason.
We also offer a service of cleaning and
re-dressing; repairs as and where necessary. Also when people
are getting married and they require their hair to be dressed
in an elaborate style is a service also on offer. Work for
the theatre, usually amateur dramatics or such like.
