Private Clients

Whilst we specialise in working for stage and screen, private clients are welcome to use our service. From fancy dress to impersonators to whatever you fancy, we will try to help!

Hair loss
It is all to easy to loose perspective in the world of showbiz, so we love to utilize our skills to help people over come this problem. Working with you, we will try to make you feel confident about your image again.

When Hilary was told she would need chemotherapy she contacted us for advice as she had been told she would loose her hair. She did not want a ready made wig so we began making a wig for her.

Hair was chosen to match Hilary's own and we worked from photographs to make the wig look like the hair she lost through treatment.

Hilary is delighted with her wig and is happy to let us use these photographs of before and after her treatment.

This wig measues 1.5 metresAs an alternative to having a wig made, we carry a stock of ready made wigs from the Ellen Wille Range. These are some of the best ready mades we have seen and we have some very satisfied clients who wear them.

Unusual wigs
One of our more unusual challenges came from some one who had always wanted really long hair. The person sourced some hair from Asia then sent it to us. We had it prepared and sorted in to lengths before we set about knotting it. We made two wigs, which measued 1 metre and 1.5 metres from the crown to the ends. A challenge indeed!

Tribute Artistes
We have been involved in creating wigs for many impersonators. Lily Salvage, Elvis, Lennon and Bowie have all been to Wigs Up North, with Micheal Jackson being our latest. Glenn Fielding caused quite a stir in the Cotswolds recently when he wore his new wig and full disguise to do a Jackson walkabout. Accompanied by his Uncles as boucers, he caused a flood of phone calls to the local newspaper from people who were convinced they had seen the real Jacko!
