- 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, Wellington"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, InvercargillJust 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 - 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 actually tried wigs but I preferred the scarves that are colourful and that you can wear anyway you want. Very attractive. The hair consultant in Gisborne who showed us how to wear them was so helpful. Very good manner and also let us know that our medical grant could also be used for scarves and hats and not only for wigs.read moreread lessBetty Waihi, Gisborne"Very helpful staff - friendly atmosphere and privacy when I needed it. I was not keen on a wig at first but when I saw how nice they were I changed my mind! I already feel quite confident going out and about in my wig and would really recommend Wigs by Haircreations to anyone."read moreread lessJan C., Auckland - I 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, AucklandLeigh Renai of Image Works, our Wigs by Haircreations agent in Wellington, was presented a bouquet from Prime Minister John Key and Mrs Bronagh Key, for the outstanding volunteer work that Leigh does for the Look Good Feel Better (LGFB) organisation as a LGFB instructor.
Tessa: "Just wanted to say hi and thanks for your help in September with my wig and the fantastic make up session. I'm a month post-surgery and about to start radiation therapy... all is progressing really well.
I now have enough knowledge, first hand experience and wise friends that I'm much calmer about the whole process - and the progress to a good outcome.
But the thing is, apart from the medical staff, you were the first person I met in what was a brand new BC universe that I did not know how to navigate. Your friendliness and efficiency were very much appreciated by me at such an early and uninformed stage of the game. It's also been a bit of an eye opener for me about how much better I have felt being able to use and wear the make up I received. In PNG, I never wore much make up ever but over here it became a welcome bit of the armoury to help me feel more confident about dealing with "everything". Thank you so very much for that.
And as much as I (and my sister) love my wig I am at the point where i just need a few more millimetres and then I dont have to wear it. I mean no disrespect to that lovely wig but there is gorgeous sunny weather out there and I just want to feel the sunshine and breeze on my scalp again.
Oh and guess what, my hair is growing in straight!!!! Honest. I quite like it.
Anyway, I hope you and yours have a wonderful Christmas and thanks again for helping me with my first few steps.

I would like to visit your showroom again.read moreread lessDauphine, Auckland - Many 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. I'm very happy with the result.read moreread lessJudy, AucklandOur appointment with Leigh in Wellington was superb.

- "The entire service from the team at Wigs by Haircreations has been amazing. I was dreading losing my hair more than chemotherapy treatment, and the experience as wonderful. My hair consultant was so professional, kind and caring. I really enjoyed finding the perfect wig that my husband and children were happy with. It was a really positive feeling.

I cannot thank you enough."read moreread lessJenny D, Auckland"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., AucklandMy 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. Thank you all very much.read moreread lessMaria, Auckland
- Many thanks Leigh for yesterday. You made it a warm and pleasurable experience; I could not have asked for more. Kind regardsread moreread lessElizabeth, Lower HuttI 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, 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 - Just 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.
