a question for my lovely friends

[rivendellrose]

Dear LJ Hive Mind:

Does anybody here has experience buying wigs online and could direct me toward a vendor that a) will not expect me to pay more than I paid for my last computer, or b) send me a wig that turns out to be even crappier than the $26 cheapass thing that I bought last Halloween?

Also, something with reliable color choice would be very much appreciated. Yes, I understand this is a bit like asking for a miracle.

It's for a costume, but I am compulsive and have spent a lot of money on this costume already, so am likely to be willing to spend a moderate sum for this. Because, frankly, I'm insane. Suggestions welcome. ♥

It's where I buy all my wigs, and my friend who styles wigs semi-professionally buys them exclusively from there as well.

Oh, I already love them for their division of sections alone. &heart; Breaking things down by length and with or without bangs = brilliant.

(Nice White Mage costume, btw! Unless I'm totally missing the boat on who it is...?)

AND they have a large array of colors. :D They definitely cater to cosplayers (if you couldn't tell).

Yep, it's White Mage. One of my favorite costumes I've done. She gets a lot of love.

Your paying for quality, yo!

Try cosplaywig @ ebay.

I'm all for paying for quality. I spent more than a hundred bucks on the fabric for the costume in question (and a fair bit on the makeup, as well), so I'm not against spending something for the wig. The problem is that I seem to be having difficulty finding anything between the sums of $40 (where the wig looks like it's probably going to be super frizzy and plastic-y) and $1,000 (which was gorgeous, but, again, more than I spent on my beloved netbook and therefore more than I can reasonably excuse for a costume wig.

I'm hoping for something in the $50-$80 range. That's gotta exist, right? ...Or maybe not. :P

Thanks for the tip!

Some anti-frizz wig spray (or whatever) might help?

We've had good results getting ours from Amphigory (http://www.amphigory.com/)

They have good selection/price, and the quality is good

Seconded! All the wigs I've bought from Amphigory were very nice quality, and were comfortable yet snug.

Yay! Yes, their site looks like exactly like what I'm after. Thank you!
