- I just wanted to say a huge thank you for Tuesday. I was at a really low point when I came to see you that day, and when I left – well I felt closer to the old me than I ever have in the past month! You were so caring, understanding and genuine you made, have made the whole process so much more bearable. I also really appreciated you getting on the phone to my Dr and organising the medical grant too, you just make the process that much easier and for that I am so grateful.
I’m really enjoying playing with my wig – I haven’t thought of a name for her yet! Maybe Gerty!!
I went to see Trish, my hairdresser and she too was amazing – was so nice to talk to someone who’s been through it and come out the other side. She styled my hairpiece for me, and showed me way’s to wear it up and down and well, the whole process has helped me find confidence again and for once actually focus on something other than hair loss! You two are an amazing team.
I’m still losing my hair but now like you say, I have options if that does happen, and it will be another lovely visit to you and Trish if that does happen. But for now I’m enjoying the moment and loving being able to do some of the old things I used to do – and not feel self-conscience.
I even trialled the hairpiece at a workout at the gym today, and it all held together beautifully. In fact I think the hairpiece is actually nicer than my original hair! Thanks again Leigh, you have really made a difference.read moreread lessAnn, WellingtonI 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 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.

- 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. I honestly do not know what I would have done without her – I would recommend her to anyone.read moreread lessMiranda WellingtonThanks so much for your help and expertise with my new wig. You are a gem!read moreread lessShirley - AucklandI 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
- "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.

- I 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.

Kind regardsread moreread lessMarisa, Auckland Pacific Health Development Team Poutasi Link Corridor, Middlemore HospitalI 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, WellingtonJust to let you know how happy I am & how well I am adapting to my “new look”.
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.
