Dear mothers,
first time in my life I will open a own business and I am pretty nervous, even if I like my product.

I appreciate every helpfull comment!

Short description:

The sheitel I can provide are from 100% east european hair, I can tell you even the name of the lady who sold it to the company.
I can produce now with regular cap with monofilament or front lace cap.

The hair is Virgin, if the customer want we can dye.

I can also produce custommade but, because we produce in eastern Europe s fitting is not possible.

I am in contact with a company for kosher certification and they say that I would get a certificat but this would make the aheitel also more expensive.
The second option is to involve my rabbi but he has not a recognized certification institute.

Now my questions:
Would you like to have s 100% kosher wig with a offiziell certificate?
Would you pay more for that?
Would you purchase online from abroad?
We will move soon to Israel, anyone from.there?
If you know a sheitel macher who could be interested I would be happy to get connected.

All the est!

Hannah

Dear mothers, thanks for your reply! I will answer as good as I can....

Sheitel is another word for a wig.
Since I can provide the source for every single hair the buyer can be sure not to have a problem with Avodah Zarah. I know that companies sell there wigs as jewish wigs; kosher, or not indian hair wig...but so far I couldn't find even one (commercial sold) wig where the seller could provide a certificat or proof of any kind.
This is why I thought to offer the wig with a certificat. The problem is that a certificat is expensiv because it requires several contacts a year and also visits of the Rabbi who would be responsible. I have to pay that. Since I didn't got a offer so far I can not calculate how much it would be on top.
Without certificate I think I could offer a dark blond Virgin hair wig with usual cap and a length of 12 zoll for around 800 to 1000euro, depending on hair density, the exact colour, cut,...... we are in Romania, so it's especially interesting for ladies from Israel since I can provide personal vontact. For. USA I thought to cooperate with wig makers. I think to start in Crown Heights since I was living there for a short time and have some old contacts....I hope I answered all, I really appreciate your replies! Have a meaningful fast! Hannah
