Did not like the way she thinned my wig- wreaked it!!! Went on line and learned how to use thinning shears and did it myself- just sayin

Excellent service. Knowledgeable on products. Patient. Would recommender Kim for sure

Kim was very helpful in selecting the perfect wig for an event, and the quality and price was very good. There's no substitute for experience! I would not hesitate to return for another wig fitting. read more

I came to Kim a year and a half ago after getting a really bad haircut. I I was sick and tired of my hair being frizzy and it making me looking like an old lady. I made an appointment and Kim gave me individualized service. She was very patient. I tried on several and she even took pictures for me at different angles She was not pushy at all. She did not make me feel like I needed to buy a wig. So I went home and showed my family and friends the photos. I called Kim later in the day and told her that I wanted to come pick up the wig the next day. I felt so good in the wig and so grateful to Kim for helping me to feel more confident about my appearance. I got emotional when I thanked her for helping me to feel cute again. Kim did not try to push any extra products on me. She told me I could wait on buying shampoo for the wig until I needed to shampoo it. I highly recommend this shop, and want to give another shout out to Kim for fitting me with my first wig and another one I bought later that I still wear on my bad hair days. read more

Kim is so nice! She found the right hair piece for me. I have been going to her for many years. Always got great looking hair pieces!

I give this place a 10 out of a 10! Thank you Kim for being so sweet to my friends mother. Going in there you made this a great experience for us. You were kind and considerate of our circumstance, losing 80% of your hair after your first round of chemo is devastating and nobody prepares you for the emotions that come. However grateful for my friend Crystal who referred us, she was right Kim will take care of you! A beautiful servant of God! Bless her heart read more

Genevieve's Wigs - Trying on wigs .... - Wigs Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

The sign says to call to make an appointment. You call and the The phone goes straight to voicemail. They do not carry human hair wigs, the women seemed frustrated that I had shown up at the salon and did refer me another salon that does deal in human hair. read more

I buy my wigs from Kim every year. It s wonderful as she gives you her full attention. She has a beautiful selection of wigs. This year I bought 2 and I love them both. It is appointment only which is great as there are no distractions. Kim is a very nice person to deal with. Her mother, Genevieve, started the business 55 years ago. read more

Medical or for fun.. this is the place to go for wigs!! Great selection, beautiful pieces, fun pieces, and everything in between! Kim is super helpful & patient.. she definitely knows what she's doing. Went above and beyond for me to get the bangs exactly the way I wanted. She took the time to answer a million questions I had, never once making me feel like a nuisance. Worth every penny to be able to try on, customize & make sure it was a perfect fit. Thank you Genevieve's Wigs!! I will be back for fun colorful pieces next for Halloween! read more

The owner is good and it is best to go there to buy your first one there but the owner has always been, for the last 15 years anyway, very mean, nasty, bad attitude kind of person. She runs very hot and very very cold. Get your first one there and then buy online. Never put anything on the piece like hair spray. Don't bother to wash it. Just throw it away and get a new one. It is never the same once you wash it. Get synthetic over real hair. It's made so well nowadays the real hair is not worth it. If fact my wife, thinks it is more of a pain. The owner does do an excellent job cutting it for you. Hopefully you get her on a good day but that is rare. If she is in a bad mood just go and come back. She can be very scary when she gets on a roll as a few have mentioned. read more

I went in thinking I might want a little piece to put on top of my head....on bad hair or need to wash days. Wow! I got it right out of the box, a great little piece that matches my highlighted hair perfectly. I put my stick straight hair up in a ponytail and wrap this shorter curly piece around my ponytail. Looks terrific!! I get compliments on a Bad Hair day. Sadly I don't remember the name of the woman who helped me. But my impression is they are all very knowledgeable. read more

Genevive's Wigs is an amazing place for wigs! The store isn't very big and they don't sell much of anything else. I went in when my hair was gone from my Chemo treatments. They asked me what I was looking for and gave me a variety of choices. The price was way lower than i was expecting, but still wasn't cheap. They also wrote on the receipt some special phrasing so I submitted it to my insurance and got reimbursed! Not only do they sell the wigs, they can style, wash and tell you how to take care of your new found beauty! I would recommend the service, prices and expertise to anyone. read more

This place is awesome in every way. Customer service is always friendly. Kim helped me pick a lovely wig, and we had a lot of fun trying different wigs on me. I literally laughed the whole time. She even tied it more to fit better, steamed and trimmed it for me. There is a variety of wigs to choose from. Kim genuinely cares for her clients and is a sweetheart . I got a wig for medical purposes, but if you just want a good quality wig just for fun, definitely go here! You pick your length, color, and hairstyle. My boyfriend, mom, and I are very happy! Lol I took so many pictures afterwards. It's best to call and make an appointment. I've visited a few other wig shops, but this place is the best! Thank you so much Kim!!! read more

See all

Very unfriendly person working the counter . Seemed pricey for what I've seen around.

Wig Quality: 5 Stars Service: 4 Stars Price: 2 Stars Total: 3 and a half stars - It evens out! I needed a wig for my Halloween costume this year. I had short notice because I waited until the last minute to pick a costume. I would usually just buy it online, but I searched around online and there weren't any vendors that would deliver overnight express. I searched on Google and Yelp for local wig vendors, and 'Ta-Da!' The universe directed me to Genevieve's. It's a tiny mom and pop wig shop. Dainty, cozy (small) and quaint. The walls are lined floor-to-ceiling with mannequin heads donned with stylish wigs, for both men and women. With Halloween right around the corner, it is especially busy in there. There are two friendly and sweet staff ladies that tend to customers on a one-on-one basis. The wait and the line is long, but once its your turn to be served they sit you down in front of a mirror and have you try on wigs of your choice. You are handed a nifty hair-net cap that costs you 3.75 and you try on wigs in front of a mirror. ALl the wigs are handled only by the staff, and are placed on you by the staff. The style of wigs are professional grade and look suitable for everyday wear. There are also hair clip extensions and a variety of natural-looking colors. There are a limited amount of alternative colors but I did spot a few blues, pinks, purples, and multi-color wigs. For more information and an accurate inventory, I recommend walking and or calling them to ask them personally. I needed a long purple one, the longest one they had was a mid-length dark purple wig. They had it so I took it. Price: $86 including tax and hairnet-cap. Kind of steep but I can rationalize it as being worth it because it completes my costume goal. I would have given them a 4 Stars, but the price was just so darn steep. Ah well! If you want a simple halloween wig for lesser quality and are not looking for something fancy, I recommend going to a halloween store or buying one online (I'm sure the online ones will have good quality for a cheaper price). But If you have the patience for the wait (usually during Halloween) and don't mind paying a steep price for a good quality wig without the hassle of shipping times, this is the place for you. read more

Why didn't I go to Genevieve's 20 years ago! Kim is ABSOLUTELY THE BEST in the business! She takes the time to make sure you are fitted properly, styles like Sasson and understands wigs as she has been in the business (her mother was Genevieve) since birth! If you need a wig that no one can tell is a wig, and I now have a ton of them, run don't walk to Genevieve's! She has my business for LIFE! read more

Nice wigs but BAD SERVICE. I wanted a long wig just for fun and to change up my color. I came to the this shop (which is uncomfortably small) and no one was in there even though they weren't supposed to be closed yet. I went into the beauty supply next door (way better service) to kill some time. The owner and this other younger girl finally came after 30 minutes with coffee cups in their hands and didn't even ackowlege me or this other lady as we were patiently waiting outside. They came 20 minutes before closing which was very UNPROFESSIONAL! The owner seemed cold and the girl with her was making me UNCOMFORTABLE looking at the wigs. When I asked questions, the younger girl was being very loud for some reason and rude at times. She was asking why I came in there and was acting like I was going to steal something. If the service was better, I would've bought a wig. The prices were ok and the longer wigs were cut very nicely. Too bad the service was so bad. I wouldn't want people like these taking my money. I'd rather give my money to another shop with better service! read more

Spent so much time with me and I didn't purchase a wig. I was there looking for a shorter wig for a costume party. Such a nice person! I would highly recommend. Such a good selection. read more

Genevieve's is awesome. The customer service is wonderful I have thinning hair and wanted to buy a topper. They color matched my hair and ordered my topper. Within a couple day I was called to pick up. Samantha cut the topper and I couldn't be happier. Will definitely recommend Genevieve's to all my friends. read more

I can't say enough nice things about Genevieve's wig shop. Kim and Taylor took the best care of my mom and went above and beyond in helping her find a wig before her chemo therapy treatments started. They are friendly, warm, welcoming and above all, knowledgeable. Please do yourself a favor and book an appointment to see these ladies. We are so thankful we found you and can't thank you enough for taking care of us. read more

Friendly help with very caring and compassionate service. This store has been on 17th street for over 40 years so they must be doing something right. They are open 9:30-6 Tuesday through Friday and 9:30-5 on Saturdays. read more

Genevieve's Wigs - Lots of selections and friendly help - Wigs Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Genevieve's said it was closing at 4pm today. I walked up to the door at 3:45 and the women inside looked at me then closed and locked the door in front of me. That was enough for me. Very disrespectful and horrible customer service. I will take my money somewhere else. read more

I had the very best experience with Taylor! She is absolutely darling and made me feel so comfortable, as this was my first time looking for a topper. She helped me pick it out, special ordered it for me, and then once it arrived in the store, she cut it to perfectly match with my pixie cut. I loved how it turned out so much that I am purchasing a second one, and bringing my mom in as well. Thanks for taking such good care of me Taylor! read more

Fabulous. Extraordinary. Love them. Extremely knowledgeable and professional! I love my topper.

Don;t be fooled by the positive reviews, took 2 1/2 months to receive once Paypal was notified. The Wigs were nothing like the picture or videos. Colour only the purple dipped end was more burgundy than purple. Not Tags, came in to zip lock bags. The wigs are so so thin and see through. Worst ever !! read more

So I had to come here to get a wig for work.... What? Doesn't everyone have to do this at some point for work? I had to find a wig that looked just like a coworker. I didn't expect to receive such great service. At first, I was lost trying to find a wig. The owner, whom I found out later has been in this industry since she was a teen, was very knowledgeable and helpful as I was blindly looking for a wig that looked like a woman in my head. Stupid, confident me thought I could do this w/o a picture. I come back the next day w/a picture of my coworker, who just recently had changed her hairstyle and color. Kim found me the perfect wig and she also cut and styled it for me to look just like the picture! She does it all. She told me what I could do and not do to my wig. We chatted a bit too. Very sweet person. She is the type of person you wish you could find in every store you walk into - knowledgeable, kind, and considerate. She wasn't trying to sell me a wig, she was understanding my situation and going through it w/me and helping me through it as best as she could. She makes you want to have another reason to come get a wig. read more

Great caring customer service. They are extremely helpful and sensitive to cancer patient needs. Top notch service.

Found a great wig (get compliments all the time) that looks real. Service in the store was nice too.

Best Place ever for non-cheesy wigs! Quality looks for a fraction of the prices of its competitors! Check it out! Halloween's coming up, and if you live in the OC and need a wig- don't go anywhere else! read more

I was at Genevieve's today and felt inclined to write this review. I had taken two of my top pieces to them a week ago hoping that they could "save" them. Today when I picked them up I was delighted to see that the damage through lots of use plus too many hot rollers was miraculously taken away. They looked beautiful. Now, that is my comment on their expertise. Now I'd like to say something about their great customer skills. Kim spend time with me telling me the best way to care for my top pieces... what to do and what not to do. She didn't push for me to bring them in every time I needed them shampooed. Instead she helped me understand and educated me on good care. She really is a pro and Samantha is wonderful too. I would (and will) recommend them highly. Donna Harvey read more

They have a great selection and are very knowledgable. My mom has lost all of her hair due to chemo treatments, and Samantha was so wonderful! My mom found just what she wanted on the second try. We could not have asked for a better experience! read more

I came in to the shop to buy a wig most specifically for my high school reunion. I'm horrible with names and can't remember the name of the super nice lady who helped me, but she was awesome. She was very patient and took her time in answering all of my curious questions about the wigs she had in store. She had every color and lots of lengths and hair styles to pick from (wavy, short, long, bangs, no bangs, etc). Her price ranges are from about $79-$200 (roughly) depending what you are looking for. I'm not sure what her shorter length wigs run to be honest as I was not asking about them. With proper care I'm truly hoping my wig lasts longer than the crappy ones I bought online in the past. I would definitely return here again so long as I find myself happy with the quality of my wig after several uses. I was blown away by the customer service and patience at this shop! read more

Kim is great to do business with. She is very knowledgeable with the wigs and has been in the line of business for a long time. Some of the wigs are priced well and all the decent and nice wigs are very pricey which bummed me out but I was able to find a fun wig at a great price. I do like her choice of colors, lighter Browns & dark blonde shades, which are hard to find at other shops. read more

Amazing, caring establishment. I needed a wig as I was going through chemo and they treated me with respect and dignity. I would recommend to anyone that needs a little tlc through a difficult time. read more

Absolutely amazing! Kim has the biggest heart and fully took her time with my daughter. My daughter is 6 and has Alopecia Areata. Kim took so much time to understand her situation. She made my daughter very comfortable and welcomed. Kim made us feel like family. Welcomed us with open arms. I even might get myself a wig to join my daughter and teach her its ok to wear a wig. Definitely will recommend them for anyone and everyone interested in a wig!! read more

I just wanted to say thank you to Kim & Taylor for helping today! I had been purchasing wigs online and they were not what I wanted when I received them plus not a quality wig! So a friend of mine said try Genevieve's Wigs. I went in and left with 2 quality wigs and styled to my liking! Felt like a new woman:). It was worth every penny and the help to make me feel good again! Look no further and go to Genevieve's Wigs read more

Came to Genevieve's Wigs in Orange County with my sister who was going through chemo and bought an overpriced custom human hair wig from Newport Hair Loss Center that lasted only 2-3 months(this happened 6 months ago). We found Genevieve's on Yelp 3 months ago and she ended up with a synthetic wig that cost her around $250.00. The lady at Genevieve's was really nice and didnt try to pretend she was something she was not(other lady claimed to be a "wig expert" HA!) . The wig sales lady never lost her hair from Alopecia and didnt need to wear a wig, but at least she was honest and didnt try to sell her an overpriced human hair custom wig (which ended up wrong color - and very bad hair). Thank you for helping my sister, she has been through enough and definitely could not afford another wig $$$ mistake. We will go back to Gene vies for our second wig soon. read more

Super small shop. Poor service. Not individualized at all. No real help was offered. If you are looking for a costume wig, probably a good place to go. But if you have any medical issues with your hair......not a good place to try. read more

Inexpensive Wig Shop in Orange County - I was looking for a wig from hair loss from my chemo/ cancer treatments: First went to Newport Hair Loss Center to find a wig in Orange County and its not even a wig shop, it was a salon. After talking to other women at Hoag Hospital about the owner of the salon (not honest) I went to Genevieve's and found a cheaper wig I could afford. Since the other place has wigs that are human hair wigs and last only 3 months for thousands of dollars , I thank God I went to Genevieve's and found the same wig for $400.00. Thank you read more

Genevieve's Wigs rocks! I've always wanted to go through life wearing a wig instead of fussing with my real hair. I hate fussing with my hair; I hate others fussing with my hair; I hate going to hair salons. If I could shave my head everyday & not be thought of as odd, I'd do it in a heartbeat. In June, I finally did what I've wanted to do for decades - find a good wig shop & get a great wig. I was very fortunate to find Genevieve's Wigs. There were two experts there to help me. I told them, "I know exactly what I want, but I won't be able to describe it right. I don't know hairstyle terminology." They assured me they could help. I said, "I want the wig to have short hair, but not too short. It has to have jagged bangs & it has to have little wispy tips that stick out in the back." I really expected them to say, "Uh ... what are jagged bangs? What are wispy tips?" But no. They knew EXACTLY what I meant! They immediately brought to me the style I had imagined in my mind. Amazing! They had me try on three different shades of blonde. The third one was IT! I was very excited! In less than 20 minutes I had the wig I wanted! You've just got to give them a try. They're very knowledgeable & give great customer service. read more
