Should I Buy a Wig from Someone Who Wears a Wig? 

October 30, 2024

As wigmakers for over 30 years, Paula’s Wig Boutique has always had a unique advantage over the average wig shop, as Paula and many of her employees are wig wearers themselves. So much about wearing a wig has to do with experience. When choosing a wig shop in Miami, it is highly advantageous to purchase from someone who has experience actually wearing wigs.

Top five things that make wearing a wig difficult in the beginning.

  1. Putting the wig on correctly
  2. Discomfort 
  3. Keeping the wig on throughout the day without slipping
  4. Style issues
  5. Making the wig look less wiggy 

Unless you actually wear a wig, explaining some basic things about wearing a wig is very difficult. As a wig maker for 30 years and a wig wearer for as many years, I have been able to help countless women with and without experience get better results from wearing wigs and hairpieces. Wigs in Miami, Florida, have their own unique issues, particularly because of the extreme weather and humidity. Paula’s Wig Boutique in Hollywood, Florida, also employs wig wearers to provide private consultations, providing years of wig-wearing experience to share.
