Wigs and false hair pieces are no longer considered a luxury
Wigs and false hair pieces are no longer considered a luxury. Most women can own one - but few would spend £ 1, 500 on a complete " wig wardrobe." This is exactly what one customer at Owen Owen Ltd. hairdressing salon has done. " My client has bought wigs and pieces of all colours, shapes and lengths, " said Mr Kenneth Lugg, manager of the salon. This photograph shows a customer at the Owen Owen wig boutique surrounded by samples of the wig-makers craft.
At the Hotel Leofric in Coventry, this week more than 100 Coventry & District hairdressers attended a " wig forum, " when two representatives from a wig firm gave hints on how to care for wigs, their cleaning, cutting, perming and setting. Wigs and hairpieces of all sizes and colours were on display including a special range of toupees for men. These toupees were priced from about £ 14 14s.

The manager of the salon, Mr Kenneth Lugg, proudly shares that his client has indulged in creating her very own "wig wardrobe" consisting of wigs and pieces in various colors, shapes, and lengths. It is clear that she has embraced the freedom to transform her look effortlessly with these fashionable accessories. Meanwhile, at the Hotel Leofric in Coventry, over 100 hairdressers from Coventry & District gathered for a "wig forum". Two representatives from a wig firm shared valuable insights on how to care for wigs - from cleaning to cutting, perming to setting. The event featured an impressive display of wigs and hairpieces in all sizes and colors. Notably, there was even a special range of toupees available for men at affordable prices starting from £14 14s.
