- I felt like a million dollars when I left Wigs by Haircreations wearing my new wig. My neighbour visited me that night and straight away said how good and happy I looked. Today I wore my wig to work and everyone commented on how lovely my hair looked and that I looked years younger. Perhaps this was due to the fact that I had a big smile on my face as I was feeling happy and confident in myself.read moreread lessRaewyn Longham, AucklandLeigh, from Image Works in Wellington, has looked after myself for a number of years, due to my thinning hair.

Leigh always makes sure the style and colour enhances the look you are after, while making you feel totally comfortable.read moreread lessGael, Lower Hutt"Right from the initial phone call, I had the very best service. Donna was the Hair Consultant I first spoke to. I have nothing but praise for her treatment of me and my situation. It is total devastation to lose my hair. As Donna fitted and cut my custom made hairpiece I started to cry. It is such an emotional experience. Thanks for your help! My confidence has returned. I am a NEW WOMAN!read moreread lessMaureen Calvet, Invercargill
- "At a time when there is such a lot of stress and anxiety in a cancer victim's life, it was a pleasure to experience such a welcoming and friendly service provided by Wigs by Haircreations in Newton, Auckland. There was no fuss, just straight-forward information regarding the products available. The selection of wigs and headwear was excellent. Choosing the correct wig is a big decision. The assistance and information provided was clear, helpful and honest. This was so helpful making a decision over something that you wouldn't dream you had to go through. To be able to go home wearing the wig as an added bonus. Well done Wigs by Haircreations. "read moreread lessHelen O., AucklandI was excitedly nervous when I made my first appointment with Leigh. I needn’t have worried because from by the moment I first spoke with her, she has been respectful, kind, patiently listening to my questions and providing me with information and reassurance. My wife and I highly recommend her to anyone considering having a full head of hair. She provides great follow up and support. My life has changed with my new hair and Leigh has been extremely instrumental in this. I am forever grateful to her.

You are a special lady with a very special gift. Thanks again.read moreread lessLynda Gonnie, Christchurch - I went to Wigs by Haircreations and selected my wig before my first chemotherapy and then returned to get my head shaved and the wig fitted a few weeks later. I found the staff at Wigs by Haircreations really listened to what I wanted and I am very happy with the wig I have chosen. I have found the staff very encouraging and helpful and would recommend Wigs by Haircreations to anyone needing a wig.
I get lots of positive comments from people who think I've had highlights through my hair.read moreread lessPat Graham, TeacherI 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, WellingtonJust a quick note to tell you how "wonderful" my husband Steve and I think Simone from Wigs by Haircreations was to us (Auckland). I have seen numerous people over the past few months regarding my hair loss (long story)... but no one else came close to the empathy that Simone showed me.
She has got to be one of the kindest....most caring and professional person I have "ever" met.
There are not enough words to say...from both Steve and I on how we are so impressed with her.read moreread lessJean & Steve - Auckland - I wanted to take a moment to highlight the outstanding service we received from one of your top-notch consultants, Colleen, who is based on Auckland's North Shore for Wigs by Haircreations. From my initial contact, through to the consultation itself, Colleen has been outstanding. Her professionalism, product knowledge and expertise was remarkable. As a result, Colleen has turned our really difficult time for my Mum and her whānau, into a stress-free, pleasant and empowering moment. Colleen accurately selected the colours and hair styles most appropriate for Mum, and it has made all the difference!
For that, we are every grateful and so pleased that your staff, particularly Colleen, is exceptional.read moreread lessTēnā rawa atu koe. Jo and Linda, AucklandI 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.

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!

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.

”Warmest Sister”read moreread lessMary - I came in on a Friday few weeks ago to buy the short blonde wig for my sister in Spain. I couriered it off to her the following Monday and she received it on the Friday, just as her hair started to come out in clumps, so she shaved it all off. She is thrilled with it, it suited her perfectly and is just like her own hair. Thanks so much for all the help you gave me on choosing this - it's done wonders for her morale and I appreciate that you let me try on to find the perfect one!

- My experience with Wigs by Haircreations has been so well organised that I had complete faith in the products and advice given. 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. The staff are all very welcoming and extremely helpful. I could not be happier with my wig, fitting and staff's service.
