Does anyone have a wig from them? Is it good? To which company would you compare it?

Do I need to cut the wig by her? Or can I just by it by her & cut it somewhere else? (I actually was not planning on cutting it by her).

I heard that they are VERY sleek, is that true?

And are the ones that are on sale now as good as the ones she usually sells or are they on sale for a reason?

Bump.
For those of you that have one for a while.
Does her hair hold a style?
Is the top flat?

I just bought one by her (tracy) to wear in a pony Shaitel. The hair is really beautiful, sleek, and the color is great. So far so good. It was so hot and humid these last few days but the hair didn't frizz at all. Also Esther cut it and she did an amazing job!

I know people are very happy. My main concern is if they hold a style.
My Shevy does not hold. A week after its set, it looks like it needs to be redone. I cute it multiple times...etc..

I have a feeling that alot of Sheitels don't hold their style for long. I have a mazali for shabbos and I get it done with curls and in a few weeks its flat like a pancake!

I think it depends on the texture of the hair. Straighter, thinner hair falls flat sooner.
I have an Esther that she cut for me, and I'm very happy with it.
She has a good selection overall, and what I like about her is that it's all displayed in sections according to quality (and price) so it's easier to choose from. It's a very relaxed environment. You can try on whatever you like without someone standing over you.
I've been to other places where they were incredibly controlling and backside about anyone touching their merchandise. It's such a turn-off. You're going to be spending between a few hundred to a few thousand. Sometimes you need to let your own fingers do the "walking" to tell (feel) if a shaitel is to your liking or not.

I just bought a shaitel by Esther. It was called a "tracy". It was 900 + 100 for a custom made cap. It includes the cut. The hair so far is gorgeous! I love it and I'm so happy that I went with her in the end. I was debating between other places.

Does she give you a discount if you don't cut it by her?

I don't know about a discount but she cuts beautifully. Also the wig I bought I wear it in a pony all the time.
You should go in to talk to her.

I have an Esther Aron that I bought from my shaitel macher. I love it. I bought it for a pony wig but I really like it down. Only issue is that it gets knotty sometimes. if I dont put it back in rollers after each wear it gets knotty. pple always compliment on it and ask what wig it is. Hair is gorgeous and sleek! I paid $800 with the cut. Totally worth it!

I highly recommend Esther Aron. I am married 5 yrs and have 4 sheitels from her-2 custom high end (Russian hair), 1 semi custom (from shelf, cheaper Russian hair), and 1 pony that was cheap mixed hair (similar to Tracy).

She has 3 price ranges depending on what you are looking for:

under $1000-decent hair, definitely worth the money. (my pony is 4 years old and just fine!)
$1000-2200-European hair, beautiful sleek hair, not the most expensive but good quality, can be custom made or off the shelf
$2200-3500 (or more...)-top quality virgin Russia hair, best hair on the market, custom made and very few pieces in this category on shelves

Custom orders are usually 4-6 weeks. She does not charge an extra fee for custom. Technically you can custom make a cheap $800 wig to match your hair color and get size right.

She does "alterations" on non-custom wigs, and is very into the fit.

All qualities of hair come in all hair types: wavy, curly, body, sleek and straight, flat, etc.

all very fine straight hair will not frizz and you can ask her on other hair types.

I am thrilled with all of my 4 wigs. Most of my friends are not happy with all of their wigs so that's a big deal.

Tip: To Bebe who has trouble with her wig knotting-if it knots on the underside of the wig, especially a new, very fine hair, this is normal. (speak to ppl who bought wigs from other places). To remedy the situation: buy for $10 a bottle of leave-in condition (you can get this from any hair salon or sheitel macher) and spray on the underside of the wig and comb gently downwards in layers. Do this before you put wig on and when you take it off. After 1-3 washings, the knotting will stop.

I hope this was helpful.
