Why Nurse Mushka, MP Chose Hair Toppers over Wigs

July 15, 2024

Running a busy medical clinic or medical spa and being the mom of a growing family are big parts of Mushka‘s identity. However, she’s also an orthodox Jew and not only follows Jewish dietary laws but is also observant of what Judaism calls “mitzvot,” or commandments. One of those precepts pertains to a married woman covering her hair in public. Some orthodox women wear scarves or hats, and some choose to cover their hair with wigs.

For Mushka, hair toppers were a better option, as she suffers from sensory issues. Although hats and scarves would have been an easy go-to, working in a professional environment and wearing hats and scarves was not the image she wanted to show clients and patients. Luckily, the best wig store in Toronto happened to belong to her mother, so it was easy to figure out how to make this “mitzvah” doable for her.

Hair toppers can be made in a variety of sizes and for a variety of needs. In Mushka‘s case, she wanted as much hair coverage as possible with as little pressure on her sides and back. Paula’s Wig Boutique designed extra-large hair toppers that gave her almost complete coverage while avoiding her trigger points. The result was seamless hairpieces and all-day comfort. 

If you are looking for the best wig store in Toronto that can cater to all your needs in hair toppers and wigs, Paula’s Wig Boutique is your premier choice.
