I ordered it earlier in the week but what do you know, the morning of and it hadn't showed up. Extremely last minute I drove to Mega Beauty Supply - I made sure to get there early in case they didn't have what I needed. I'm so happy my misfortune lead me in this direction. I don't have a favorite hair store in Fredericksburg but now I do! The store was extremely clean & organized. I would have given 5/5 stars but 1) they have a no refund policy and 2) they didn't have enough of the hair color I wanted. But the owner was so friendly and professional. I'll definitely be back! Long story, long. I didn't need the hair I purchased but now I have store credit. Can't wait to go back and use!

(the menopause) I started to notice thinning hair on top of my scalp. I am not vain, but I work as a private flight attendant and I feel I do my best at the job, when I look my very best. I googled "wigs near me" and found this amazing woman, Marianne! After booking an initial consultation, I drove out to her beautiful place of business in in Ashland, Virginia. The moment I met her, we connected immediately. She made me feel right at home in her lovely home! The studio is spotless and full of hair pieces to explore and try on. We addressed my hair concerns and what I wanted to accomplish. Marianne is not only patient and very kind, but she is also knowledgeable about wigs and toppers. My hair piece arrived this past weekend and I could not be happier with my purchase. What I truly liked was she told me as I was leaving, she is always available if I have questions or need help with my new hair. As I mentioned, I work in hospitality and aviation. I am always appreciative when I meet someone who is talented and truly cares about their customer! Marianne is the real deal and a true gem! She helped me get my confidence back and I am forever grateful. Googling "wigs near me" was one of the best things I have done for me lately! Thank you, Marianne!!

As someone dealing with thinning hair from perimenopause, finding Marianne was truly a blessing. She is incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about helping women feel confident and beautiful. The quality of the pieces is amazing--soft, natural, and so comfortable to wear. Marianne took the time to guide me through all the options and helped me find the perfect match for my hair loss and personal style. Each piece I've received has exceeded my expectations and has helped me feel more like myself again. I'm so grateful I found her and highly recommend Marianne to any woman navigating hair loss or thinning--especially during perimenopause. She truly understands and makes the whole process feel empowering.

When we finally were acknowledged the shop owner did take a few minutes to talk with her about her needs. After mentioning that she wanted human hair, which they do not carry, the shop owner was quick to imply that she didn't think we would be able to afford it. She told us to look around but she probably couldn't help us today and she "might be able to get to us after I finish with the other people". Regardless, we decided to wait and try on a few hats and wigs while we did. Well that didn't work out either because we were asked not to try on any wigs!!! In a wig shop! We were very rudely told there was a sign saying not to and when we searched for it and mentioned there wasn't a sign, we were ignored!! It is worth it to drive somewhere else out of the area than deal with this!! I would not even give this place one star if I could.

This soured the experience for me and left me with picking up the entire $750 cost while I'm already dealing with high costs of treatment (my insurance would have reimbursed me half the cost of the wig).

As soon as we walked over to the wig section, an older Asian woman began following us closely. Every time we touched a wig, she was immediately there, hovering and watching us like we were doing something wrong. When my daughter picked out a wig to try on, we were told we had to buy a wig cap for $1.09 (which we did, giving them a dollar). While we understood the policy, what was uncomfortable was how this woman continued to stand right next to us the entire time, watching every move as if we were going to steal something. It was humiliating and made both of us feel unwelcome. We were treated with suspicion for simply shopping -- something no customer should experience. I expected. I will never go back to this Beauty supply store again.

Do not go to Hair Studio 5 for CNC hair bonding -- save your money and protect your health…read more I spent over $6,000 on a CNC system at this salon, and it was one of the worst decisions I've made. The bonding product they used was not the official CNC adhesive -- it smelled like toxic glue and left me with a severe scalp infection. My lymph nodes became inflamed, and I had to go on antibiotics to recover. When I went to another salon, I was told Studio 5 has a reputation for cutting corners and using off-brand products. Here's what you should know: The system is expensive and high-maintenance. It never felt comfortable, didn't look natural, and required constant, costly upkeep. In hindsight, a well-made lace front wig would have looked better and been far less stressful. Your scalp cannot "breathe" under the piece. Despite what they tell you, it can't. My skin became irritated and inflamed within weeks. CNC hairpieces don't last forever. At most, they'll last two years -- and that includes needing to send them back for repairs. During that time, they'll encourage you to buy a second piece to wear while the first is out for servicing. You have alternatives to bonding. Gwen only presented bonding as an option, but other salons have since shown me safe, non-damaging methods like tape, which can stay secure for days at a time. Bottom line: This salon took advantage of me when I was at my most vulnerable, just trying to find a solution for my thinning hair. Please do your research, get second opinions, and don't let anyone pressure you into something that could harm your health.

Gwen has a fabulous studio! She is so personable and gives a superb cut! Highly recommend her!read more
