HUMAN HAIR

  • Allows for color changes
  • Styling versatility curled or straight
  • Requires styling daily

Remy hair is the highest quality. Cuticles running in the same direction result in less tangling.

SYNTHETIC HAIR

  • Comes in beautiful colors with rooted tones and highlights
  • Requires little styling and can be worn immediately
  • Affordable
  • Hot tools can NOT be used

Heat resistant synthetic is available (allowing the use of hot tools).

One of the greatest benefits to synthetic hair is the ability to wear it immediately. These wigs require very little styling and are ready to wear, cost effective and come in a variety of colors, cuts and styles. You can opt for a heat friendly synthetic if you are interested in styling your synthetic piece.

If you’re looking for human hair you will love the versatility and the capability to change it up day to day. The ability to be able to treat it like your own whether it’s with style or color is what keeps the clients purchasing human hair pieces.

No matter what the occasion calls for, we have the hair. Most of our clients keep more than one piece as having backup means you will always have hair that is ready to wear.
