Hard to buy a wig when you aren’t event open during your normal business hours. Business fail :(Waste of my time

I have been researching wigs to plan for a chemo related hair loss in April. It’s been a difficult process emotionally but also because the price range for wigs runs from $ 50 to over $ 4000 depending on type of hair (synthetic vs., human), how the wig is made (handmade vs. machine made) and other factors. After a consult with another wig maker who quoted me $ 4200 for a human hair wig, which I could not afford, I felt overwhelmed. I read some Unilocal reviews and made an appt at Karen’s. Her salon, conveniently located near Columbus Circle in an office suite, was calm and welcoming. Peter, the manager, spoke with me while we waited for Karen and provided an overview of choices. When Karen arrived she put me in the salon chair and offered several choices of handmade beautiful synthetic wigs. She was very helpful. We picked one together and I was done in less than 15 minutes. At $ 1000, which includes a pre-​styling and additional consultation and final styling, it’s a great deal. I will update this review when the wig is finished.

We bought a wig for my mother in-​law at Karen’s Wigs in early August. Karen was very helpful in recommending a few wigs that were suitable for her. She is going through chemotherapy and has been wearing the wig every day since she lost her hair. She receives numerous compliments, even people asking her where she got her haircut thinking it’s her own hair! She has been very happy with how it looks and how it feels. Karen also advised us of potential reimbursement from the insurance company if we file a claim. We received a letter from the insurance company requesting for further information for the claim. When we called Karen’s Wigs today, I spoke to Peter, the manager. He was willing to join on a 3-​way call with me and the insurance company. With his help, we were able to resolve the issue regarding the claim over the phone and now it’s getting processed. It’s amazing that he went out of his way to help, especially almost 3 months later.
