Fantasia Salon / Spa and Wig Specialists

Wigs of yesteryear, were not designed for women with hair loss concerns. It was all about the fashion of the day. Wigs back then were offered as solutions for women with bad hair days. Some were developed for theatrical use for costuming, or to allow a woman to change her look with minimal effort. These wigs were never constructed for the needs of a woman who wanted to cover her own head naturally and with the highest degree of security over a long period of time.

Looking natural was not a priority nor was comfort. Security was not a focus. The materials used in the construction of the wig were lackluster and sorely deficient in both sophistication and authenticity. And, these products were devoid of any artistry born of sensitivity.

If the industry had not changed, and our alternatives today were not what what they are, that might be a harsh assessment. However, the industry has changed and today, we are fortunate to enjoy the work of companies that take hair loss concerns into consideration as opposed to just fashion when they manufacture their products. Some, such as Amy Gibson, searched for years before finally coming up with “Amy’s Presence” wigs which allow one to live life to the fullest while wearing a wig for Alopecia, other medical conditions or whatever reason. Amy experienced first hand the pain and frustration of Alopecia. As an actress, she was involved in an industry which is all about beauty, hair and make-up. She was determined not to let hair loss control her life and out of that, the “Amy’s Presence ” collection of wigs was born.
Today we are blessed to have a movement toward greater education of specialists and stylist in helping to formulate the best hair replacement solutions for women with hair loss issues. Fantasia salon has been working with wigs since the 1960’s and has always been on the forefront of what is new and exciting in the industry. Our wig specialists receive on going education and training in order to keep our salon cutting edge.

Today’s materials for wig construction are technologically advanced and look genuine. Because of this, the final products are artfully constructed and sometimes look even better than your own hair possibly could!
