- My experience with Wigs by Haircreations has been so well organised that I had complete faith in the products and advice given. When my hair was seriously fallen out, I returned to Wigs by Haircreations where Jackie completed the adjustment of the wig I had previously chosen and then was very kind and cut my remaining stubble to as short as possible which I was really pleased with as my husband was very nervous about trying to do it for me. The staff are all very welcoming and extremely helpful. I could not be happier with my wig, fitting and staff's service. Thank you all very much.read moreread lessMaria, AucklandI was told I WOULD lose my hair as a result of chemotherapy. It became very important to me to ensure that I had a wig that enabled me to function as normally as possible outside the myriad of medical appointments and hospital visits that started to fill my days.
What I expected to be one of the more confrontational realities I would have to face as part of my cancer experience, was actually a really relaxed and enjoyable experience. I booked in for a wig consultation with Leigh and, right from the moment she answered the door and let me into her studio, I was made to feel welcome and relaxed. I had an extremely informative session with her and then tried on a few wigs. The process of narrowing the choices down was made so much easier with Leigh’s wig expert advice and I left very happy with the wig I choseread moreread lessCaroline, WellingtonI was not really coping at all with the hair suddenly all falling out even though I knew it would happen. Your attitudes and the atmosphere in your shop calmed me down, giving me a sense of confidence for the months ahead. Many thanks. No one picked I was wearing a wig but liked the new hairstyle!read moreread lessAvril, Auckland - Just a quick note to tell you how "wonderful" my husband Steve and I think Simone from Wigs by Haircreations was to us (Auckland). I have seen numerous people over the past few months regarding my hair loss (long story)... but no one else came close to the empathy that Simone showed me.
She has got to be one of the kindest....most caring and professional person I have "ever" met.
There are not enough words to say...from both Steve and I on how we are so impressed with her.read moreread lessJean & Steve - AucklandMy wig is very comfortable and easy to put on. Lots of compliments from friends and family on appearance. Thank you.read moreread lessClarice Bennett - AucklandLeigh, my Wig Consultant in Wellington, has been my hair guru for the last 15 years. I’m almost 40 and I’ve had alopecia in all its forms on and off since I was 8 years old. When I lost my own hair again at age 25 after having kept it for most of my teenage years, I was distraught. I will never forget the day I met Leigh. She turned up at my house with literally bags of the most beautiful Ellen Wille and Raquel Welch human hair wigs and such a positive ‘let’s fix this’ attitude; within the space of an hour I had about five new heads of hair, my self-esteem fully restored and I felt like a million dollars. Leigh has always been able to help me identify styles and colours that really suit me – and that I would never have even considered on my own. Ironically, I think I’ve always been far more stylish in my wigs than I could ever have been with my own hair; several times over the years I have been asked who my hairdresser is! I was once asked to be a hair model because the wig I was wearing looked so great!
Leigh is so warm, helpful, knowledgeable and honest – she’ll never let you walk away with hair that doesn’t suit you. She also helped me look and feel brilliant on my wedding day – I had the easiest hair appointment a bride could have – just pop it on and look fabulous; I think I spent five minutes on my hair! Leigh is one of the most incredible ladies I have ever had the privilege of meeting. I honestly do not know what I would have done without her – I would recommend her to anyone.read moreread lessMiranda Wellington - I don't think you realise how much you did for Mary (and myself) yesterday. She walked out a totally different woman and she even came into the supermarket with me with her new "hair". It looks lovely and it has obviously made a huge difference; her whole demeanour changed. It was magic the way you explained the chemo being a drug of wellness etc and that the hair meant old cells saying farewell and making room for new ones. Most empowering just knowing that.
Your aroha, care and graciousness is very much appreciated.

Tessa: "Just wanted to say hi and thanks for your help in September with my wig and the fantastic make up session. I'm a month post-surgery and about to start radiation therapy... all is progressing really well.
I now have enough knowledge, first hand experience and wise friends that I'm much calmer about the whole process - and the progress to a good outcome.
But the thing is, apart from the medical staff, you were the first person I met in what was a brand new BC universe that I did not know how to navigate. Your friendliness and efficiency were very much appreciated by me at such an early and uninformed stage of the game. It's also been a bit of an eye opener for me about how much better I have felt being able to use and wear the make up I received. In PNG, I never wore much make up ever but over here it became a welcome bit of the armoury to help me feel more confident about dealing with "everything". Thank you so very much for that.
And as much as I (and my sister) love my wig I am at the point where i just need a few more millimetres and then I dont have to wear it. I mean no disrespect to that lovely wig but there is gorgeous sunny weather out there and I just want to feel the sunshine and breeze on my scalp again.
Oh and guess what, my hair is growing in straight!!!! Honest. I quite like it.
Anyway, I hope you and yours have a wonderful Christmas and thanks again for helping me with my first few steps.
cheersread moreread lessTessa - WellingtonThis is just a quick message of sincere thanks to you all, and in particular Simone for making my appointment this morning so successful. I can't believe within an hour I was walking out with a beautiful new hairpiece! I haven't been able to drag myself away from the mirror this afternoon to have another look - the complete opposite of how I've been over the last few years. Simone, your rapport with your clients is a credit to you, thank you for making it all so easy.
Kindest regards.

- I was excitedly nervous when I made my first appointment with Leigh. I needn’t have worried because from by the moment I first spoke with her, she has been respectful, kind, patiently listening to my questions and providing me with information and reassurance. My wife and I highly recommend her to anyone considering having a full head of hair. She provides great follow up and support. My life has changed with my new hair and Leigh has been extremely instrumental in this. I am forever grateful to her.
