Hallelujah! The wig has stealthily worked its way out of the closet and into our conversations. No longer is donning a head piece a dirty secret, or reserved for the likes of Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, or models on the front of Vogue. Instead we’re hearing more and more tales of real life goldilocks’ who have lived with hair loss/thinning/alopecia for years and are ready to make a change.
New heads of hair
With a wig, you no longer have limits on the look you want to achieve for you client and there is no commitment. The main hurdle seems to be ridding them of the outdated stigma attached. To do this you need to team up with experts who understand this challenge and the trauma of losing your hair. Mandeville London is a name to remember for a personal, caring approach to wig making – in fact, they would prefer not to use the word ‘wig’ in favour of ‘a new head of hair’. With a mission to help clients regain their confidence, each handmade head piece is designed to be the very closest they can get it to restoring the client’s own hair.
Au naturel
It’s the innovative materials that makes Mandeville’s designs unique. Super light – weighing less than a gram – and breathable, they are almost invisible against the skin yet incredibly strong and secure. This foundation feels light, comfortable and cool to wear. Each wig or hairpiece is individually crafted using the finest quality, 100 per cent natural European hair and the team can create an individual solution to match the colour, texture and length your client desires.
Award winning methods and amazing results
Award winning methods and amazing resultsThese hero hair piece masters have also won two SMART awards (the British government’s award to assist with research and technology) for their research, which has led to a number of totally new concepts in wig and hairpiece design. Seriously, if your client is in angst about a hair thinning woe, they will be in safe hands with Mandeville. We were amazed to discover that each design is hand-knotted with up to 70,000 natural hairs – no wonder they take three to four months to make. This exacting method means that hairs are anchored following the pattern of natural growth, including the spiral of the crown, for an entirely authentic-looking result. Incredible!
