Wigs - Aberdeen

Want to be prepared with a good wig though the brochure at my "top" salon was not too appealing. Going to struggle picking one I like from their brochure. Wondered if anyone could recommend buying online, if so - which sites. Or recommendations for Aberdeen area. I am a young 42 year old and still want to look my best.....my hair is my "thing!" Losing it is such a daunting thought but if I can be happy with a good wig, I might enjoy wearing a new look! x

  • Hi Di-W!  I live in Scotland and  my NHS free wig was from Judy Plum Wigs.  I dreaded wearing a wig as the first time I had breast cancer in 2006 the wigs were just absolutely awful!  I didn't lose my hair first time around as I used the cool cap while getting chemo but I couldn't get it this time around.  I remember being told that the wigs now are super and I thought, yeah, right!  I was totally wrong - my wig was sooo good that lots of people on Facebook (who didn't know my cancer had returned) commented how lovely my hair was looking!  I was so happy with the wig, I got another one!  I'm not going to lie - I wish I hadn't had to wear a wig but it wasn't anywhere near as bad as I had imagined.  I have had a look on the web and there is a salon called Adriannas in Albyn Grove which stocks Judy Plum wigs.  I don't live in Aberdeen and don't know what the salon is like but perhaps worth a try.  I'd recommend wig tape as the winds are strong in Scotland and it just gives you more confidence!  I'd love to hear how you get on!

  • Thank you, I know Adrianna's and it's helpful to have as much info as possible to look at what all is available. Good tip about the tape, I really don't fancy chasing my wig down the street on some of the windy days we get! Brilliant that your wig received so many compliments and people thought it was your new hairdo! x
