Thanks ladies! I'm glad to know that your experience was worth it! My question to you is: Did you travel to New York for your fittings? Also, did your insurance cover any of the cost? I called the salon and talked to Joseph Paris about my options and he suggested a full lace piece. He quoted me one cost, then when I talked to the receptionist, she told me a different price ($1000 more)! So I'm not sure what to do here! I'm not in a position where I can pay $1000 more! If you don't mind, could you tell me how much your pieces were??? Thanks! Beth

I got a Joseph Paris full lace wig recently. Let them know you are from alopecia world and you will get a 5% discount. It is I believe $1500 for just the wig with an additional $1000 to have it customized to fit your head, styled, cut, and the knots bleached so that the lace is virtually undetectable. I chose the second option.
Now for my review: The customer service is very good and they give 3 complementary visits to have the wig washed, maintained, or styled for a special event. At my first free visit they showed me how to wash the wig properly which a previous company I went to did not. This was very helpful. I live in the NY area so it was not hard for me to get there. The lace is very much concealed and there is no underlining showing through like with my previous lace wig. It isn't bad I do find it tangling and it is kind of dry since I washed it. It's pretty comfortable, and durable for a lace wig. I am new to wearing wigs and resent having to wear one so I doubt I would be in love with any wig. I do think if you want a lace wig and can afford the price Joseph Paris may be the best choice it is certainly better than my first one where all the hair fell out on top and the lining showed after a month. My insurance only covered $300 for my first wig and I was told at Joseph Paris that the tax could be re-embersed with a form sent to the insurance company, they will go over the procedure with you. I hope this was helpful. The good thing about the hair being somewhat wavy and not "perfect" is that I have been told it looks like real hair. I opted for human hair and it is very blonde perhaps if I got a darker color it would be a bit healthier and less processed. You can get synthetic or human hair for the same price at Joseph Paris. I hope this was helpful.

I thought I was told if I wanted the "knots bleached" and a "Semi custom fit" I would have to pay $2500. I didn't even get any highlights or lowlights although I didn't ask for them and I don't think they hand sewed anything into the front hairline hmmm?

I waited a couple of weeks. I don't know if they hand sewed hair in but I ended up cutting in bangs to make it look more natural.

Glad that your had a good experience, but I cant say the same for myself. The owner was very friendly and professional as well as staff. I was a bit unclear of the price when I went for the first time. I did end up paying about $2700. I am an african american women and I opted for what they call textured hair and it was terrible. The hair would start to clump up within an hour of combing it. I started to complain and they initially seemed to be trying to help me. I came in several times and they added the european hair to mine and it would seem to look good while I was there then by the time I would make it home the hair would start to do the same thing. I also had several small holes in my net. After complaining so many times they finally decided to give me a new wig which is not the texture I would have liked to have but anything would be better at this point. This whole time now I am no longer dealing with the very nice owner but the not so nice daughter. I now have this european textured wig which they are now trying to add "textured hair" to in order to make it look close to my hair texture. I made several trips there which cost me lots of time and money. I have now had this wig for about 6months now and the front of my net has ripped. The hair itself doesnt shed. I recently left a message for them and did not a a return phone call. I feel that the price is way to expensive, I am seeing a lot of similar products for alot less. Its very obvious that it is a wig. It does not look as natural as they claim, at least for me. Its not terrible but definetly not worth the price!

Hi Beth,
You may also want to look at IWigs by Erica from Brooklyn. They are beautifully made using human hair either processed (colored) or non-processed (no color, natural). Their prices are fabulous for the quality of the wigs. The website is iwig.com. They made all hand-tied or wefted wigs depending on what your needs are & your budget. Check them out - I think you'll be impressed. Good luck,
Rose

The wig I'm wearing in the Today Show filming is from iwig. See many photos of this wig in the photo gallery at our main site here:
Tell Erica or Sandy that you know Thea from Bald Girls when you call for info. We will be running another discount special with them again, but even while we are between specials, do tell them you are referred from us. The value for the quality of hair and workmanship and customer service is very high. We're very impressed with the level of care and interest that Erica continues to have for women with alopecia.Do you have feedback? let me know as I talk to Erica and update her on the needs of the alopecia wearers.
fyi -be sure to ask for what you need....their website does not give you the full picture of their capability.
Thea
