Fantasia Salon / Spa and Wig Specialists

An abundance of hair is universally considered alluring in women.  A healthy appearance is advantageous when it comes to finding a partner.  A healthy head of hair is part of a healthy appearance.

Our ancestors sought to procreate with the most healthy possible mate, with a head full of lustrous hair  - or bright eyes and a bushy tail, would have been a fair indication of reproductive viability.  Females with abundant hair tended to be selected as mates and give birth to offspring who went on to develop a similarly healthy appearance.  So,  until the present day hair is still rated by men as a prime factor in sexual attraction.

This is probably why balding in women can have such a catastrophic effect on their self-esteem.  Baldness is more of a social stigma for women than it it for men.  This is why it is rare for a woman to simply accept hair loss and appear in public with her head exposed.  She is far more likely than a man to look for a solution.

These days there are a wealth of products and techniques for the purpose of achieving the desired effect of a healthy head of hair.  For those who lead active lifestyles and are in need of hair replacement, there are wigs that you can sleep and swim in.  Cyberhair is the “invention” that allows this to happen.  Fantasia Salon carries a full inventory of Cyberhair wigs.

If thinning hair is the issue, there are Micro Links which are tied into your own hair and increase the volume by 400%.  Unless you tell them, no one need know they are there.  Again, this allows you to lead an active lifestyle.

Depending on tastes and budget, the solutions are almost limitless.  There are products to disguise the fact that a woman is losing her hair, treatments which inhibit further thinning such as Hair Loss Support, or, nutrients for the hair and scalp.

For the most effective prevention, expert opinion and analysis should be sought at the earliest possible sign of the symptoms of hair loss.  Whatever the ultimate choice of the solution, in today’s modern world a woman’s self-esteem does not need to suffer because of hair loss.

If you or a loved one are in need of a solution for thinning hair or hair loss, one of the Hair Replacement Specialist at Fantasia would love to help you.  Call today for your free consultation.

In searching on the Internet for the Minneapolis and Upper Midwest areas, I actually found the above, “Quality wigs for $36.” Reality is that for $36. you cannot purchase a quality wig, much less something that is going to look remotely close to real hair. With hair replacements, wigs, whatever you chose to call them, you get what you pay for.

Why are you purchasing a wig? Is it for long term or short term? Do you want something that looks like hair? Something beautiful and natural looking? Something which would have luster, shine, lightness and manageability? Most people would naturally assume that a human hair wig is obviously better than a synthetic one, when in fact, it’s not quite that simple. For a woman who is very active or would like to be able to sleep and swim in their hair, Cyberhair would be a wonderful choice. (It would not be advisable to try sleeping or swimming in a human hair wig as sleeping could cause the wig to become matted and swimming will, over a period of time, destroy the wig because of the chlorinated water.) The cost of Cyberhair wigs is $1500-2000.

Human hair wigs are becoming more expensive and the quality of human hair is declining. The majority of human hair wigs on the market are made from Asian hair, most of which comes from China. Because Asian hair (or Indian and Pakistani for that matter) is by nature thick, straight and usually very dark in color, other than making wigs in straight black, the hair has to go through several bleaching steps and other chemical treatments before being made into a wig. For this reason a wig that looks great when new, could become dull in a few months.

Hair coming from Russia and Poland is really some of the best quality for wigs but costs more than Asian hair because not so many women in these countries are willing to sell their hair. Human hair wigs made from European hair will last longer and feel softer to the touch.

Therefore, it would be critical when purchasing a human hair wig, to find out where the hair originates. If you are prepared to spend thousands of dollars on a wig, its best to find one made from European hair. For the finest quality possible, be prepared to spend between $2500-5000.

Purchasing a wig really depends on your lifestyle, what you can afford, and what it means for your self esteem. At Fantasia, we only sell wigs which look great and can be customized to fit the individual. This is not be possible with a $36. wig. The only way others will know you are wearing a wig when you leave Fantasia salon, is if you choose to tell them. Most of our clients tell us that people ask them where they get their hair done. While we do have lower end wigs, the quality you find here will cost anywhere from $200.-5000.

If you are purchasing a wig for fun and fashion you may be interested in knowing that Beyonce Knowles wears European hair wigs. (as do many other celebrities) So, if you want the same hair she has, it’s on the high end of the spectrum and will cost you $5000. The good news is that you don’t have to go to the West Coast to buy it (that will save you a few bucks), Fantasia sells top of the line European hair wigs, just like Beyonce wears!

Amy’s Presence, a line of Cyberhair wigs, got it’s name from Amy Gibson. Amy is an actress who began her show business career when she received a starring role in the daytime drama “Love of Live” at age 13.

Just as Amy’s acting career was really taking off, she began experiencing bald spots due to alopecia areata. Back then, not much was known about alopecia and Amy had to find ways to cope with losing her “crowning glory”. She had to keep her secret from cast members, friends and the press for fear of being ousted from an industry which places such importance on beauty and hair.

Over the next 17 years Amy starred on many shows including “The Young and The Restless”, “The Facts of Life” and “Happy Days”. All the while Amy was scouring the globe trying every treatment imaginable and searching for answers to her problem. Amy became a star on “General Hospital” at a time when her body was rejecting treatment and she lost all of her hair within a three week period. Determined that “the show must go on”, she created techniques to allow her to live like every other woman who loves to swim, work out, go dancing and engage in intimacy. Amy was not going to allow hair loss to rob her life.

The Amy’s Presence line of wigs is a culmination of Amy’s lifelong search. Cyberhair is the world’s most technologically advanced patented hair. It is virtually indistinguishable from human hair. It is light as a feather, soft and silky, with rich hues and subtle, shimmering highlights that never fade or change color.

With Cyberhair, you can live life to the fullest! You can work, sleep, swim, exercise, and enjoy romantic moments without worrying about your hair. Amy’s presence is an everyday wig that fits your everyday life. Cyberhair has “style memory” so it requires no styling and only basic maintenance to keep it looking great.

Additional features of Amy’s Presence are: Two cap styles, the Action Cap and the Ultimate Cap, both super lightweight cap construction for the ultimate in comfort and secure wear-ability; hand tying with light, refined materials that conform to the head for an individually customized fit; and subtle colors, hues and highlights that you have to see to believe. Amy’s signature features are: extended ear tabs for natural appearance and loops for scarves and eyeglasses. Additionally, there are specially formulated shampoos, conditioners, protectants and styling aids all specifically formulated for Cyberhair and Synhair.

Fantasia is privileged to be one the few salons in the Upper Midwest area offering Cyberhair and Amy’s Presence. Of course we carry a full line of the above mentioned products for proper care and maintenance of the wigs. Call today for more information and to schedule your consultation.
