Thank you so much for all your responses. It feels good to know I’m not the only one that feels this way! For those of you who mentioned that you know of some very nice ST’s, any recommendations for someone in Brooklyn?

At least. |
Most of that 5k is going straight to the wig company. The SM only earns a fraction of that. |
The instagram women I'm thinking of run to China, so they're making all that money themselves. And they wear humongous diamonds.

It’s not only the sheitel Macner it’s widespread in the community. This is the attitude a lot of women. they are aggressive unkind and unfriendly unless you are their friend or in their circle. Or of course if you are of high status. If you are “lower” they are are very rude and unaccepting. This is why I’m so happy to put a mask on when I go out. I am considered on the bottom of the social ladder so I get it a lot.

So I really loathe going into a sheital macher's home or studio. My husband's cousin is a BIG macher and she did my wigs when we got married. She's super snobby IRL but acts like molasses to her customers and then says things behind their backs. I think this traumatized me a bit. I worried endlessly how she really felt about my new look with the sheitals I got from her. For years, I was insecure everytime I put one on. Then I went elsewhere, in Brooklyn, had some pretty good experiences but that place closed down. Now I go to Malky Wigs, in Brooklyn. She's sweet, helpful and attentive. Ask for an appointment with just you there and she's great about that. I love the wig I got from her and am going back for another. For style, I get mine cut by a wig stylist out in Pennsylvania (who I met by total accident!) but she cuts and does a great job for $65, whereas stylists in Brooklyn are HUNDREDS more. I actually brought some of my older wigs to this PA lady and she recut and made some adjustments so I'm super happy getting more mileage out of them now. I think the key is to find someone who doesn't seem jaded about their job or into all the social media stuff.

Also on your Lakewood list should be Liat Bendkowski.
She is amazingly talented and the nicest person you will ever meet. I consulted with her for a wig and she gave me all her time, patience, and honesty and didn't want to take a penny.

Thanks for this list. Kinda new in passaic. Who would you say is the lowest price point?
(Im also looking to buy a wig / second hand wig or gemach first time in over a decade. Anyone you recommend. I tried once in lakewood unsuccessfully. Been trying for a year. Finding it hard. )
Thanks.

Welcome!
Not sure about current prices, maybe Rivky Wolf might be the lowest price?
So funny, my Gemach shaitel was from Lakewood. I think Rivky Golombeck in Clifton had the shaitel Gemach a few years ago, I haven't heard if it's still active. Also, every so often Bleema has (hosts) a "MOPS" Sheitel Consignment Shop sale for pre-owned (and new but affordable) wigs...

It wasn't in my city, and they didn't know me. It was worlds away from the experience I see on some instagram posts, where the woman is literally wisping all the strands into place and playing with the hair and clearly trying to make the woman beautiful.
I think these days you have to be an influencer for the top people to care about you and your service. I guess I'm always shocked when I plunk down over 5K (I'm due for another wig and I"m hearing 6k is now standard!) for something and I don't get like, I don't know, a birthday cake and someone on a microphone announcing my exit and hugs and kisses on my way out. At least.
Don't go to anyone on instagram, is my new motto. Go to people who rely on word of mouth. |
I haven’t spent more than 2k on a wig in years. I have gorgeous long trendy wigs that I’m always getting compliments on and I also have a difficult color. And they last for at least 4-5 years.

number removed, bc this is a public forum and maybe she doesn't want her number on line. If you want, pm or create an email for exchange.
