If you are selecting your first wig, it may feel like an overwhelming choice. High-quality wigs can last around a year with everyday wear, so you’re really committing to one hairdo for the next twelve or so months. And while wigs are more style-able than ever, it is different than having the option to walk into a salon and just change your cut or color drastically.
Wigs are also a bigger upfront investment than a new haircut, which puts pressure on shoppers to pick the right one. So it doesn’t hurt to get some professional advice when you’re shopping for a new style piece like a wig.
That’s why we at Wig Elegance are always happy to hear a client is working with a personal stylist.
Your Holistic Style
A personal stylist takes into account more than just the look of a particular outfit, accessory, or hairpiece. They think holistically about your style and advise you on an overall look. This can mean finding a signature make-up look that works with your favorite color of a blouse or matching your hairstyle to your best on-the-go duds.
When choosing a wig, the perspective of a personal stylist is critical because the wig is more of a static style than natural hair would be. In other words, you have less variety for styles with a wig, so picking one that will work for all facets of your style—from a night out to a day at the gym—is important.
Invite the perspective of a stylist to your wig shopping appointment to get exactly the look and feel you want from your new wig.
Practical Style
A stylist should also help you think about the practicalities of your look. If you brought a personal stylist clothing shopping and they only picked out expensive, hand-wash silk clothing you might be miffed that they didn’t consider the upkeep of your new look.
The same should be said of choosing a new wig. When working with a stylist, make sure they understand any desires or limitations when it comes to wig materials. For instance, if upkeeping a human hair wig with washing, brushing, and heat styling would be too much for you, opt for a synthetic wig that needs less upkeep.
