I haven't shopped there so I can't review based on selection or service, however being a cancer patient myself, there web page looked like they were truly dedicated to the breast cancer cause. So, my insurance company will reimburse 150.00 for a wig, when I called to tell her that, she said Oh, our wigs start from 400.00 and up, you might be able to get a discontinued for 350.00 or so. I think that's ridiculous, they are truly a commercial company, don't use the cancer cause in your advertisement when all your doing is ripping them off. I'll be going to carols wig shop in pawtucket, was told by my oncologist that their prices are way more reasonable. Okay I have to fair to this business. 350.00 and up is the going rate in all local wig shops so I can't give them a one star based on that. Other than pricing I don't know anything about this business, so it's not fair to post a bad posting. read more

We've been to a few wig salons/shops. Tiffany's of Rhode Island in Cranston, Alicia's Beauty Shop in North Kingstown and this shop on 663 Oaklawn Avenue, Cranston. This has been a difficult shopping expedition. Personally I really really liked Cathleen Leite at Alicia's. She was so helpful, knew her wigs and explained their differences so well to us and was polite and inviting. Her shop is also closest to us. We dropped by Tiffany's wig shop which was personally recommended to us by a family member as a great place to go to (but in fairness sake this member didn't wear wigs. Also the person knew the woman who personally owned Tiffany's so it may have been biased.) Tiffany's was crowded with merchandise and the desk jockey was dismissive with my Mother who was very put off by the curt and unwelcoming atmosphere there. She had no problem dismissing the appointment she had made to come back another time when she found the wig of her dreams. STOP. Now understand, neither I nor my Mother have worn wigs outside of fright wigs for Halloween. We barely ever wear makeup. This process is a bit heartbreaking and toilsome as insurance companies are involved with the process. Being informed that a wig is technically a cranial prosthesis is daunting and off-putting to say the least. To have to explore uncharted territory (and chemical smells when one has a migraine,) is anxiety producing. The owner Sandra and her daughter Neishe (spelling?) were laid back. They seemed to put Mom at ease. And the wig that Mom claims makes her look like she's in her 40s (and it does for god's sakes!) is at this shop! There is no reason to go elsewhere. We found her hair nirvana. My brother, who was with us yesterday agreed that this wig was JUST LIKE her old hair! Neishe cut the bangs on the long haired wig so that Mom could still see and yet hide her eyebrows. BUT, and this is my observation, I am not sure if Mom is going to be able to go back to Alicia's Beauty Shop. She (Cathleen,) seemed to know the most about cancer, the wigs and styling. We'll see. A wig is an costly investment to make. $300 and up, a wig can be very expensive and needs to be maintained and certain things can't be done in one (like cooking, driving in a car with the top down, use your imagination...) I am hoping that things work out. For now Mom is very happy with her wig and I am optimistic that Mom will feel better about herself now that she has something that looks like it belongs to her to wear. AND Sandra provided a drying form for Mom to hang her wig on so that it doesn't brush any surfaces when she's not wearing it since it has long hair. read more

Uncompassionate: My mother had died and never got to wear the wig, had received a few days before she had died. The Golden Rose Shoppe refused a refund of wig and lost $428.00. read more

I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised at how caring and knowledgeable the staff is at this really neat wig salon. Being my first bout with cancer, they made me feel like family and went the extra mile to help me purchase my wig. This was not my1sr wig shop. But truly the best! Jeanne Maddalena read more

These people treat you like family and made my wife feel very comfortable. I would highly recommend them. It takes the stress out of a very trying ordeal. Thank you Ray and Mary read more

I recently got diagnosed with alopecia after finding a difficult to cover bald spot and was In the market for my first wig. I came to this shoppe and found a wig I absolutely loved. The price was outrageous but it looked like MY hair. After putting it on the next morning and wearing it for about 20 minutes my forehead broke out into a rash that felt and looked like razor burn. I immediately contacted the shop and they advised me to bring it back so they could wash it. After driving another hour there they informed me that they could wash it or replace it but a refund was out of the question because it's not their fault I had a reaction and their "wig makers" wouldn't accept a return. They offered to find me a wig made with different materials and would call me when it arrived. After 8 days without hearing back i called and was told they got it but didnt call because she didnt know when I was working. I told her I'd be in the next afternoon. Upon arriving the new wig looked great but after having it put on it was obviously far too small for my head as it kept riding up the back but was told I could just put bobby pins in to secure it. After I became visibly upset and crying I was told I could keep both wigs... now I have 2 wigs that I CANNOT wear, I've wasted 3 days of time and gas money, and I'm out all of the money that I paid. Please be advise that if you shop here you will need to make 1000% sure your purchase is to your liking and comfort. There are NO signs stating that all sales are final, I was NOT told all sales are final and my receipt does NOT state I would be unable to return. Yes, I should have asked but I didn't and i paid for it. These wigs are obviously not as expensive as the prices they are asking for as they all of a sudden gave me 2 wigs for the price of 1. Going bald at 30 is hard enough to deal with without being told "sorry neither of these work for you but thanks for the money". I would not recommend this business to anyone let alone someone who is already is a poor emotional state. read more

This is a very emotional experience for anyone. Most people are not hear because they want to be. I went to several places that to fact fine and was told I had to make an appointment and come back, one wouldn't even let me look. Sandra was working when I dropped in here, even though she had an appointment she was very kind and helpful. They have a large selection and she told me to look around as much as I wanted and when she was finished she would help me try some on. She clearly knows her stuff..after asking several questions she picked out 4 , any of which I would have liked, and explained all the pros and cons of each. I purchased one that looked exactly like my hair, which was my mission, she ordered a shade darker. When I went back her daughter was there, she is just as knowledgeable and gave me great information. Not only did I learn a lot, and had confidence that they would help me along the way with any problems but I had a lot of much needed laughs! read more
