Joseph Paris Opinions
Hello to all the beautiful people on alopeciaworld <3
I received a call from Joseph Paris about his products yesterday and I am pretty much convinced to buy a wig from him.
Currently, I'm buying a $2000 (Canadian) or so human hair, lace front prosthetic. They last about a year (often requiring a $500 repair) because I tend to be a little harsh on my hair (I guess lol). I'm pretty happy with it, but I hate the tape-- it tends to pull my skin so hard that it comes off, and I have open sores constantly.
He says his product will last a couple of years, and the length I'm looking for would run me about $4400 USD...which I'm thinking woujld end up as about $5000 or so Canadian, with tax.
I would have to go to NYC from Toronto (which isn't TOO far, but could require an overnight stay at a hotel... in New York), which sounds great to me, but it's also an expense.
But honestly, the most important factor in buying a wig for me, is that it looks realistic.
Anyone out there have a Joseph Paris wig? I'd love some opinions on if they're worth it.
Thank you all so much, you're all fantastic people!!

He quoted me $4400 because I asked for 14" (slightly longer than shoulder length), and for blonde... which he says is at a premium... maybe it's time I try being a brunette! I have the option, right?? :)
Aimee, your wig looks great-- keep thinking positively!!
Cindy- I chose the tape that I have because I feel most secure with it-- it's the stickiest one. Unfortunately when the wig comes off, the tapes comes with it too, along with my skin. It's sort of made a callous over time, but is still red. It seems like the more I change my tape (if something happens and I need to change more than once), the redness turns to sores because of the extra yanking of my skin. Maybe I'm just sensitive-skinned. What did you pay for your Joseph Paris hair? It looks FANTASTIC! Do you find they get hot? Do you need repairs-- if so, what does it cost? Thanks so much!!
