- This is just a quick message of sincere thanks to you all, and in particular Simone for making my appointment this morning so successful. I can't believe within an hour I was walking out with a beautiful new hairpiece! I haven't been able to drag myself away from the mirror this afternoon to have another look - the complete opposite of how I've been over the last few years. Simone, your rapport with your clients is a credit to you, thank you for making it all so easy.
Kindest regards.
P.S. Thank you also for the care pack - I look forward to using it.read moreread lessSandra, Auckland"I'll be recommending Wigs by Haircreations to anyone I ever meet in the future who needs a wig. The hair consultants were sensitive and kind, dealing with me and also I notice the other staff members were extremely polite and smiling at me when I was in the main room looking at wigs or trying them on. The experience could have been horrific, but instead, it was supportive and gentle."read moreread lessIona. J. M., AucklandI am thrilled to bits with my new hair.
I am told I look much younger and feel it too. Most people don't even realise that I am wearing a wig as it is so natural looking.
I would recommend them to anyone who needs one. I know they would be as happy as I have over the years I have been your customer.
Thank you again.read moreread lessMrs L Johnston, Auckland - I don't think you realise how much you did for Mary (and myself) yesterday. She walked out a totally different woman and she even came into the supermarket with me with her new "hair". It looks lovely and it has obviously made a huge difference; her whole demeanour changed. It was magic the way you explained the chemo being a drug of wellness etc and that the hair meant old cells saying farewell and making room for new ones. Most empowering just knowing that.
Your aroha, care and graciousness is very much appreciated.
Our warmest.read moreread lessMary and Sister, WellingtonMany thanks to you for your expertise and advice! Well to my TOTAL amazement not one of the twelve women in my group guessed it was a wig. They all commented on how lovely my hair looked today and asked if I had been to a salon! I didn't let on until we finished up that it was a wig. They said it was very natural looking and pretty.

You made it a warm and pleasurable experience; I could not have asked for more. Kind regardsread moreread lessElizabeth, Lower HuttI was told I WOULD lose my hair as a result of chemotherapy. It became very important to me to ensure that I had a wig that enabled me to function as normally as possible outside the myriad of medical appointments and hospital visits that started to fill my days.
What I expected to be one of the more confrontational realities I would have to face as part of my cancer experience, was actually a really relaxed and enjoyable experience. I booked in for a wig consultation with Leigh and, right from the moment she answered the door and let me into her studio, I was made to feel welcome and relaxed. I had an extremely informative session with her and then tried on a few wigs. The process of narrowing the choices down was made so much easier with Leigh’s wig expert advice and I left very happy with the wig I choseread moreread lessCaroline, Wellington"Very helpful staff - friendly atmosphere and privacy when I needed it.

She was very welcoming, hospitable, caring and humorous, as well as having beautiful compassion and understanding. The whole appointment was filled with so many emotions and thanks to Leigh, my friend left with renewed confidence. The wigs are amazing – so natural and flattering – we all have hair envy!
Cheersread moreread lessMegan, WellingtonI was not really coping at all with the hair suddenly all falling out even though I knew it would happen. Your attitudes and the atmosphere in your shop calmed me down, giving me a sense of confidence for the months ahead. Many thanks. No one picked I was wearing a wig but liked the new hairstyle!read moreread lessAvril, Auckland - Leigh, my Wig Consultant in Wellington, has been my hair guru for the last 15 years. I’m almost 40 and I’ve had alopecia in all its forms on and off since I was 8 years old. When I lost my own hair again at age 25 after having kept it for most of my teenage years, I was distraught. I will never forget the day I met Leigh. She turned up at my house with literally bags of the most beautiful Ellen Wille and Raquel Welch human hair wigs and such a positive ‘let’s fix this’ attitude; within the space of an hour I had about five new heads of hair, my self-esteem fully restored and I felt like a million dollars. Leigh has always been able to help me identify styles and colours that really suit me – and that I would never have even considered on my own. Ironically, I think I’ve always been far more stylish in my wigs than I could ever have been with my own hair; several times over the years I have been asked who my hairdresser is! I was once asked to be a hair model because the wig I was wearing looked so great!
Leigh is so warm, helpful, knowledgeable and honest – she’ll never let you walk away with hair that doesn’t suit you. She also helped me look and feel brilliant on my wedding day – I had the easiest hair appointment a bride could have – just pop it on and look fabulous; I think I spent five minutes on my hair! Leigh is one of the most incredible ladies I have ever had the privilege of meeting.

When my hair was seriously fallen out, I returned to Wigs by Haircreations where Jackie completed the adjustment of the wig I had previously chosen and then was very kind and cut my remaining stubble to as short as possible which I was really pleased with as my husband was very nervous about trying to do it for me.

I love wearing my wigs & how it makes me feel. My family & friends have been so supportive.
I made an appointment with Ann(name changed) & found her amazing. Thank you for that. She has cut & styled them to my liking. Of course I have sometimes doubted myself & thought “people will know” but on the whole I have been OK.
A man came up to me at Pak’nSave car park & said that his wife got him to ask me “where I got my hair cut”!
She wanted a style just like mine!!!
Thank you again for everything. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas with your family.
Kind regardsread moreread lessPenny, Wellington"Here is what I wrote to our friends and rellies …
Yesterday Mary got her wig and looks amazing Mary again. I can't describe how heart breaking it was at first (for us both - me watching her) as we sat in silence with the reality and was able to just be, albeit painful. The tears came as she removed her woollen hat in the mirror as she looked at a person she no longer recognised. I feel so privileged to be on such a personal journey with her. I know it's just hair and, yes, it will grow back but when it comes to the crunch for both males and females who lose their hair through illness, is it is indeed a loss and another thing to put up with. It was magic watching her demeanour change once the wig was on and cut similar to how she usually wears her hair. It was just the best ever to see Mary walking out a totally different lady and even went into New World with me to get a couple of items. The difference in her is very noticeable. When I visited her yesterday, I even felt the difference seeing her sitting in the lounge with her hair piece looking ‘normal’. To go into chemotherapy on Friday with her wig will make a huge difference. Leigh the lovely “wig lady” was the perfect person to see and talked to us about chemo actually being a drug of well health as it regenerates cells very, very fast. Hair loss is the old cells all clearing out reading for the body to create new cells. That’s why the hair grows back lovely and the skin is plumpy. It gave us both a different understanding of chemotherapy which got Mary through the tears and the fear. The human body is an amazing machine. Hell this woman is going to look younger than me soon! Needless to say the Wellington wind may cause us a few problems in regard to the wig, so have to learn some tricks J I’m not going to call it a wig, but will refer to it as her hair. Her comment to me was “I’ve never been bald in all of my life – I was born with a full head of hair!
