I've heard about Fifi's for a long time but hadn't been there until today, and I should have been going there for years! Awesome shop, great selection, fun friendly people, and amazing service. I emailed them about buying a wig for a costume and they emailed me back in about five minutes. I put a deposit on the new one and in the course of the conversation mentioned that I had an older wig for now, and they told me they could style it. I took it in and about two weeks later (because of thanksgiving) I got this magical thing back, looking like a million bucks, and even with purple glitter!!! They were so nice and it was about a fifth of the price I expected. Can't wait for the new one but this one looks great! read more

4.5 stars When you need a wig for a festival, parade, or celebration in the Crescent city this is the place. Not wanting to be left out, I stopped in to see what I could find. Under new ownership and a slight name change, Fifi's offers a variety of unique & custom wigs in a range of styles, colors, and lengths. They will even trim your wig for you and also sell cute accessories too. Owner Tommy is delightful as was the young lady assisting in the shop. She helped me with trying on the wig that I selected and explained how to maintain it. The wigs are good quality and will last a long time with proper care. A wig can transform you into someone else and even boost your self-esteem. Plus, they are great for when you are having a bad hair day. I think wigs are fun but never had the confidence to wear one aside from Halloween. That all changed when I sat in the chair and put one on. The darling associate asked if I wanted to wear it out. I said, "Why not." I received so many compliments while walking around the Quarter. I felt good about myself and my decision to "go for it!" Don't be surprised if you see me in a wig next time I'm out and about. read more

I am a longtime customer of Fifi Mahoney's. Tommy purchase Fifi's last year and it is now Fifi's Custom Wigs. They have great wigs, metallic hair, accessories, etc... You can purchase on of their unique wigs or have a custom wig made. They have solid colors or can spray what colors you would like. I purchased a white wig and had it sprayed purple, green and gold pastels for Mardi Gras. I also purchased a fascinator to wear with it or separate. Wonderful, fun staff. Come in and try on the wigs. Life is short - be bold. read more

I cannot express just how LOVELY my Fifi's experience was! As a stage IV cancer patient who's lost her hair for the foreseeable future, I had been hesitant about wearing wigs, fearing they'd make me feel like a stranger in my own skin. But the moment I sat in that chair, the folks at Fifi's met me with such care & reassurance, easing all those hesitations and making me feel confident, beautiful, & seen read more

Some of the best shopping in the French Quarter is found on Royal Street and if your here during Mardi Gras then you must stop in to Fifi Mahoney's to try on a wig. Fifi's has a variety of wigs ranging in every color, length, shape, style, glitter embellishment and animal horn selection available. The staff are so friendly and helpful. My Mom and Sister went all out, which made our experience here much more memorable especially since everything and I mean everything I brought with me is bedazzled in glitter, lol! If you are shopping on Royal, Fifi's is a must see! read more

We stopped into FiFi's during a girls' weekend and had the absolute BEST time. Emma, our wig specialist, helped us piece together a number of looks -- she has an excellent eye! So much fun, and we made a few new friends, too. I highly recommend adding this to your New Orleans itinerary--I'll definitely be back! read more

I've had my eye on Fifi's for a long time. It looks as though it's a salon turned into shop which is so neat. We all known that amazing salon feeling when we're about to leave looking elevated! Not only would her wigs be a perfect fit for any day in Nola but they'd be fabulous for Mardi Gras season. Each year I try to spice up my parade costumes and I can always count on Fifi's for a show stopping wig, headpiece or accessories. read more

Excellent selection. Fun place to go. Lots of options! I tried on a few before purchasing wig and headpiece.

I know, I know. The world is ending and we all must be safe. I promise you, I limit my exposure as well as those around me, but I can also promise you that when I see I am the only customer around Fifi Mahony's, then I am definitely going to walk inside, especially if I'm around just a week before Mardi Gras! No, I hadn't planned on buying a new wig, thankyouverymuch, but I love scouting around and seeing what they have. As I've mentioned, I was the only customer there, and with three staff, I feel they may have been a bit bored. So, of course I decided to have a seat and try on a couple, and obviously you can't leave without that one that looks SO CUTE on you. (DUH). The staff was wonderfully attentive, paid attention to ideas that I liked, and I walked away with something perfect for me right then and there. Additionally, if I had more money to spend, I would've gotten a new headdress/ headband as well. Next time in, for sure. I love how colorful and creative everything is in the store, and they're making sure everyone is being cautious and safe, so you can roll in and walk out looking fabulous, too! Definitely worth the stop, but even more so, definitely worth the price. From "costume" level on up, Fifi Mahoney's has all the goods, and such great accessories, that you can't help but to love and buy their products. Can't wait for my next trip to score a coordinating head piece. read more

Well I ain't dead from covid, all the concerned comments got me thinking that I should write a review. So I am reviewing this wig shop that I went to at Mardi Gras. This is Mardi Gras 2020, the Mardi Gras to end all Mardi Gras? The cursed Mardi Gras?  The Mardi Gras the end of the world, like the restaurant perhaps? Either way, I've been getting a lot of use out of this wig, and I have to say it's turned me into a fan. Excellent quality, easy to style and care for. All throughout my trip, and it was a long trip, the trip of a lifetime, I have no regrets except that left that City at all. But all throughout my trip, whenever I said my wig came from Fifi Mahony's, everyone oooohed and ahhhed and said "Oh you went to the GOOD place". I got a blue and black ombre wig that suits me so well most people think it's my natural hair. Sometimes I just wear it around the house just to brighten up my day. This wig is more than just a wig, which anyone who's into wigs will tell you. But since it's my first this is a new discovery for me, and so I am sharing it with you, who may perchance be looking to buy your first too. And it will change your life. You may have great hair. You may think it's itchy. You may wonder how it will stay on your head. Well let me tell you, all of those questions are answerable. Not by me, go ask FiFi's! It's an easy way to transform a costume into a performance. It's a fast way to make yourself into a character. You can anonimize yourself, but also makeg yourself a staple, a signature of every environment you walk into. And if you go to Fifi Mahony's, they will sit you in chair and ask you about your wants, needs, and desires. Feel free to wax poetic about your drama, your insecurities. They will put them to rest, and place on your head a crown, a jewel, that makes you feel as you walk out that door, that you are the queen, or king, of the world. I don't know how they've been doing during quarantine, I don't know that you can sit in the chair yet, but I wanted to take the time to leave them some love. It was fellow yelper Joi, that referred me to them and I cannot thank her enough. There are many reviews coming down the pipeline, I don't know if I'm going to write them. But for all those who were wondering, I'm alright. And I'm a little more alright, because of this wig. read more

I ended up finding this place by just ambling around the French Quarter, but I'm so glad I stopped in! What a way to get a souvenir that is truly New Orleans in its essence, and something I'll actually end up wearing and using. When I walked in, I loved the bright, colorful, and vintage ambiance, but was taken aback by the number of options and styling. Wigs range anywhere from $40-200, and I was clear with the staff about my price range, and they were happy to offer multiple suggestions and had me try on several wigs, showing us the correct way to put a cap and wig on, and providing nets and bobby pins. Super fun and unique experience - I ended up grabbing two! read more

So can I review a place I've never been too but bought a wig in a silent auction at a breast cancer fundraiser? All I know is that Fifi Mahony's reputation stands on it's own! Every person I know raves about this place for their absolutely fabulous wigs! And they were totally right! I bought a gorgeous hot pink wig with a butterfly and other accoutrements in it! My best girlfriend's sorority alumni chapter had a breast cancer which is close to my heart bc my Mom is a survivor but my aunt (her baby sister) didn't make it. Can I say this wig was so much fun that multiple friends of mine and ladies I didn't know wanted to try it on and take pictures. I was more than happy to oblige! Now I can't wait to actually visit their store for my next purchase! Happy wig shopping y'all! read more

You're in the French Quarter, Gawd girl, if you have one fabulous bone in your body, go in there and try on a couple of wigs. If your travels take you there during Mardi Gras, it's really a must and should be your first stop. Most of the smaller hair accessories were sold out, but I managed a handmade flower hair accessory that coordinated my wig for $30. The synthetic wigs are around 40-60, so prices are fair for being in the French Quarter. They don't want any pictures taken in the store, so they get cranky if they see you with your phone out. Put that wig on Girl and #Laissez les bon temps rouler! read more

Went in to this shop with my boyfriend and my grandmother on 03Oct2021 at approximately 1:00pm. My boyfriend has been purchasing wigs from this shop past few months. He has been raving about this shop since we moved to Nola. For weeks he's been telling me about this rainbow wig. So yesterday we decided to go in and buy it. He was overly excited about the wig. My grandmother had cancer and her hair never really recovered. So she was excited as well to find a wig that actually fits her and looks natural. An employee name unknown. He was a male, build was tall, and thin. He had green glitter or makeup on his eyes. My boyfriend got the wig he wanted picked it up and was super excited no one had bought it. He put it on and he was sold. He was just waiting on someone to come around and help us. This individual walked up did not ask any question or even try to understand the client Standing in front of him. He was extremely rude taking the wig. scolding my boyfriend for trying it on. I don't know if they make commission but he missed out. I immediately talked him out of buying it. My grand mother needed no convincing. she was shocked About the treatment. Was a long few hours dealing with a super disappointed boyfriend and grandmother. read more

How fun is this store? Everything a girl could want. I've been in but too shy to really shop. This time on our way down Royal Street after a few adult beverages, I drug the kids in here. If you buy a wig cap you can try on all the wigs you want. So I paid the 5 bucks and had a ball. My son even got in the spirit and tried on an Elvis wig. It was HOT. I offered to buy it for him if he would wear it on our next trip to the Peabody Hotel in Memphis. He declined, but loved the wig cap. I did buy a wig ... I'll probably wear it when I wear my Aunt Tiki's t-shirt. But I already regret not wearing it to the racetrack on Thanksgiving. One of these days I'll take a photo and share it here. Maybe...after a few drinks. We'll see. Anyway...wigs, jewelry, makeup. It's a girly store. And fun cause girls just wanta have fun.... read more

Upon deciding to embark on the wife's post Katrina return to NOLA, she started talking about Fifi Mahony's. Sounds great, they must have oyster Po' boys. Wait, wigs and makeup? "Remember that sassy wig where I could change my hair color in an instant and you could be fu**ing a blonde?" That's Fifi Mahoney's. French Quarter proud and a bit sacred ground meaning no photographs, the wife embarked on a vacation makeover. I spent some time helping her pick her new look; some costume jewelry purchased and makeup hastily but tastefully applied. She promised a gentleman's club nearby; instead me eager with anticipation of my newly made over New Orleans bride. The staff was friendly to me as well; helping me fix a few blemishes in the form of overgrown eyebrows. The staff made my wife feel welcome without an appointment; for the most part taking care of her desires within other patrons time constraints. She walked out feeling like ten million bucks. For the $150 spent, I'd say it was totally worth it. read more

Wigs. A vital part of every New Orleanian's life. This is the very best store, in a city full of stores that have wigs, to get your wig on. I literally wig out every time I walk past the windows, always featuring a couple of new custom wigs to celebrate whatever season we're in. Halloween and Mardi Gras are the top two wig holidays of course, so the gorgeous custom wigs go fast. Pro-tip: if you see one that you must have, go in and grab it immediately as there are no two (custom) wigs alike. They are priced fairly, considering that they are works of art and you are not going to find anything quite like them anywhere else (I've been to many places). In addition to the original wigs they design, they have a huge selection of plain wigs in all of the colors of the rainbow... and then some. I like buying these to save money and also to get creative and festoon with glitter, jewels, flowers... and various ephemera. This is a more affordable option, but I also can't resist their specialty wigs because they are that beautiful. Besides wigs, this store has a superb collection of make-up and accessories (sunglasses, fasteners, boas, false eyelashes) and body glitter that I'm currently obsessed with. They sell out of that quickly, but the color selection is insane! Carnival may be over, but if you're in New Orleans, there's always a reason to stop at Fifi's and get fancy, even if your only special occasion is walking around the French Quarter any given morning or afternoon. read more

I scheduled to get my hair & makeup done for the holidays. The makeup looked very nice. My daughter's hair was precious. My mom's hair was so messed up they had to redo it. My hair was an absolute disaster. It fell down within 20 minutes of me leaving the place. I had to pay an Uber to & from just for them to pin it back up, but it still looks like a hot mess. Definitely not the $125 just for hair & makeup. We have gotten wigs from here before, which are a lot of fun, well made, & reasonably priced. read more

Absolutely yes! I never tried on a wig before so I was completely lost. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. Marcy helped me and provided the best service! I probably tried on over ten wigs and she was so patient with me. I'm literally obsessed with this place! I haven't even left New Orleans and I already went to come back and get another wig. They have every single color imaginable in all lengths and styles. I love my wig so much and will be wearing it every single day I'm here! read more

Fifi Mahony's is the kind of store I expected to patron in New Orleans - and thankfully do! Bought a super hot blue wig with green tips for my "evil mermaid" costume during Halloween which I'm currently trying to figure out a way to finagle into my Mardi Gras get up. While I wish I had the funds to get another one (though it was relatively cheap for the good quality at $45), I think a Fifi wig will have to be my Halloween tradition that transforms itself for Carnival. Also, this is a haven for professional costume (read: drag!) makeup. They carry lines like Bill Nye in bold, bright, shiny and glittery shades. I even got some stage blood for aforementioned costume! They do have a selection cute accessories and jewelry, but a little on the pricey side for costume wear. Check it, ya won't regret it. UPDATE: After writing this review, decided to stop in to Fifi's while wandering the Quarter for Mardi Gras costume inspiration on a beautiful Friday afternoon. Ended up walking out with an awesome long, blonde styled wig for $20. That's cheaper than the cheap costume shops for a high quality product. read more

Such a fun store! This is a great place to find your perfect wig to top off your costume, or a ponytail (or two) for those of us whose hair grows slowly. They do have natural looking wigs as well. They have all sorts of costume jewelry that will compliment your style or your costume perfectly. I came on a cold Saturday night for my first visit here, walking around the Quarter waiting for a parade to start. I got two ponytails, one long, one short, both close to my natural hair color. They were much nicer than what I have seen at other stores, and are well made. Next visit, I will make a point to have enough time to get a cap to try on some of the wigs. They look like so much fun! They are not cheap, but it is worth the cost, and you are truly getting your money's worth! It is a local favorite and gets a lot of tourists because of its prime location on Royal in the Quarter. read more

Wanted a few new hair pieces and some makeup products so decided to go to Fifi Mahoney's. Because of my history with the place in the past as far as selection of products and everyone that worked there was always so nice and helpful, I figured this would be a great experience. Well that was certainly not the case, the place has completely changed. No products, horrible wigs, no real selection, and very lackluster service is all they offer here now. Again, as much as I have always enjoyed Fifi Mahoney's-- unfortunately this encounter was horrible. The sales person was very non attentive. He was wandering around and seemed very annoyed when we asked for help. When I asked questions he was short as if either he didn't want to be there or didn't want us there, or both. Nevertheless we still decided to pay the $5 to try on a few hair pieces. Upon checking a few out, he was still so rude and unhelpful, I decided to pull the plug on the entire experience and tell me fiance we were leaving. Simply put, like many things in New Orleans have deteriorated since Katrina, it is obvious Fifi Mahoney's has sadly become one of them. Fifi's was a staple in our circle and even had friends that would fly into the city just to shop for hair, makeup, and other products there. Well indeed, that's an end of an era, I will never be back and I will make sure no one I know shops there. read more

Love, love, love this awesome little wig shop! They have more than just wigs, so get your makeup on!!!

Fun wig place in Nola. We werent able to use their makeup artist as she was out of town, but they were nice enough to recommend a salon next door which did an amazing job! (Diversions). The girl in the back who helps you try the wigs on seemed to have a short and displeasing attitude - if you can ignore that (which we did) you'll be fine! We found the perfect color (our first choice) and she cut the bangs a little as they were bothering my sisters eyes. They also have locally made hair accesories and other cute stuff too! Ps: the book private events! read more

This store looks so FUN!! We visited a few months ago and they were NOT BUSY, someone was cleaning or decorating the carpet while sitting on the floor... and they were about 20 minutes from closing. My sister and a friend of ours wanted to try on some wigs and take photos but the employees were very reluctant to help us! They told us they were about to close and we wouldn't have enough time. Even after my sister inquired about ordering a custom wig they still didn't really care about our business. Guess they have better things to do! read more

FiFi's has special one of a kind things that pop- and hairstyles you love! Locals have been going for years to this hidden treasure. The salon is on a quaint area on Dauphine (in the Marigny -a quick Uber or walk from the French Quarter) and the main wig store/ accessories is on Royal St. in the French Quarter. I've recommended to many & they have loved hairstyles and the shopping! If need styling, want to add some wild color or extensions to your hair, or get a wig for fun- FiFi's! Lots of local artists jewelry. A Must GO! for our visitors and a Regular place for locals! read more

An absolute must for anyone traveling to New Orleans. I mean, a store that has amazing make-up, jewelry, AND the highest quality wigs I've seen? Just plan on coming here and spending hours going through all the fun treasures. I got a wig here in dark blue that is the exact same haircut as mine, and it's such good quality, that whenever I wear it, people think it's my real hair. Six years later and that wig is still holding up just fine. I also got an amazing Superman gold chain that I get TONS of compliments on. Would definitely recommend - you will find special pieces. read more

Fifi's is absolutely fabulous. Did you hear me? FABULOUS! And if you play your cards right, you'll leave here looking fabulous for whatever costume event you're going to (or should be going to). This is the place that all other wig, makeup and bling joints aspire to be. What can you score here? Giant wigs, bright wigs, flashy wigs, and tons of sequined accessories. Little hats, big hats, and hats in-between. Gobs and gobs of costume makeup. Feathers, broaches, headbands, and plenty of sequined things. And lots of costume jewelry. Stop and and buy this shit to take home and get done up, or plan ahead and come in and have them do your 'do. Something tells me that if I lived in NOLA (a city that actually encourages awesomeness) I'd have a standing line of credit here. Granted most of this stuff is for the ladies, but that doesn't scare me. I could leave here looking awesomesauce. Any dudes with the balls to do it could pull off something epic here. read more

Traditionally, I visit Fifi Mahoney's once a year when I am in need of Carnival attire -- last year, it was pasties to wear as a backup in case my costume for the Eleusis Mystery Ball experienced a wardrobe malfunction. That did not, in fact, happen, but better safe than sorry, right? And how else would I have discovered how much I enjoy running around wearing pasties in lieu of a bra? (Not kidding. You should try it.) This year, I invested in my very first, truly spectacular brightly colored wig, which would be the focal point of my costume for my very first MOMs Ball. Both of these, of course, were momentus occasions in my New Orleans young adulthood, and Fifi's has always been there for me when I need her. It was SO much fun to try on a bunch of crazy awesome wigs, although it was really, really hard to decide. The girl who helped me was super nice as well as patient, which was cool because they were extremely busy. She made me feel welcome, helped me decide, and didn't rush me at all. Overall, it was a great experience. More than worth the $70 or so I spent on an epic lime green wig and two sets of fake eyelashes plus adhesive. As it turns out, I adore spectacular wigs even more than pasties, and have decided I'm done with the whole haircut and expensive dye job b*llshit. That money is WAY better spent on a collection of wigs for everyday use. (Again, not kidding. Just wait. This is going to be amazing.) read more
