Let’s face it, making and laying a wig is an art form and definitely not for the faint of heart. When it comes to this service we understand the need to seek out an expert (unless you are the expert, in which case we're very jealous) and can empathise with the struggles of finding someone that’s both professional and good at what they do.
Alongside our super helpful beauty directory, we thought it was time to share our five go-to stylists for a good wig install in and around London.
If you haven’t heard of Chrissy you’re in for a treat. A seasoned vet in the wig scene in the UK, her insane following and devout clients are a result of unfailingly good service and the ability to keep things fresh.
Whether you keep up with the trends or like to stick to the classics, Chrissy Bales has something for everyone. Personally we’ve been loving her curtain bang unit to match our “cold girl” makeup and winter fit.
A quick scroll through her instagram is all you need to be convinced of this East London fave. While she’ll definitely lure you in with her glossy middle part buss downs and perfect chic bobs, we love how this stylist does colour!
For those of you who just can’t take your mind off that burgundy you saw months ago, RS Hair has mastered the perfect red wig.
We’re convinced Crowned Beauty caters to hot girls and hot girls only. A master of billowy waves and bombshell blonde, pair a Crowned Beauty install with your most glam makeup look and hit the town for maximum effect.
If you’ve got a special occasion or just feel like treating yourself, this is the one for you.
We like to think of E.T.Wigs as the newcomer we didn’t know we needed. Catering to a slightly different taste than the rest of our list, this stylist knows a good colour and dynamic cut. Perhaps something to fill the little Gen Z rager in all of us.
Why not change up your look in a big way and try a mullet or vertical stripes this new year?
It can be tricky to find a stylist open to experimenting with a wide range of cuts, colours and styles. That’s why we love Wigs by Ivy. This stylist doesn’t shy away from trying out a variety of different looks. A one stop shop for fun colours, cute cuts and creative styling, she’s up for the challenge and, needless to say, she passes with flying colours.
