Wigs with wow: Georgies Wigs
Hair loss, for whatever reason, can be a traumatic experience, so having a fabulous wig (or two) may go a long way towards boosting a person’s confidence in their physical appearance.
Celebrities such as Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, and Jennifer Lopez often wear wigs as fashion accessories. Others don them for various reasons, including hiding hair loss from chemotherapy and alopecia.
Eleanor Burgess of Georgies Wig Shop in Christchurch is well aware of how wigs can enhance both a person’s appearance, and outlook on life. Hairdressing for more than 40 years, Eleanor founded her wig shop almost eight years ago after a close friend suffered hair loss due to cancer treatment. 
Now Georgies Wig Shop is New Zealand’s largest wig stockist, with more than 500 quality real and synthetic haired wigs in a wide range of styles, lengths and colours, as well as hair pieces and additions.
“Wigs transform lives,” says Eleanor. “We love to help those with hair loss, working with clients to help find a wig or hair piece that restores confidence and makes them feel completely themselves.”
The real hair wigs can be foiled, curled and straightened, much like a client’s own hair. Georgies also stocks a range of turbans, headbands and alternative headwear, and offers private consultations at the salon, at home, or in hospital. Visit 570 Barbadoes Street, phone 03 385 6696 or check out:
