THREE ROUTES, CHOSEN IN PERSON

Not from a screen.

The right piece depends on fit, density, hairline, lifestyle and budget. The consultation is where the options become clear.

Ready-made

Finished pieces from established makers, ordered from our suppliers and personalised at the atelier. They take 3–14 days to arrive, depending on the item; fitting and personalisation are arranged separately.

Customised

A quality base piece re-worked to your hairline, density and colour: a considered middle path between speed and personal fit.

Fully bespoke

Foundation, hairline and parting drafted to your measurements, with hair specified and ventilated where the piece needs to disappear against skin.

THE CRAFT

The construction is chosen for the person.

Believable hairline and considered parting

Fine lace and carefully chosen mono, silk or scalp-effect constructions help the front and parting sit naturally in daylight.

Natural density and nuanced colour

Density is calibrated to the person, while colour is matched in natural light with the variation real hair carries.

Construction and secure fit for real life

Hand-tied, wefted, hybrid or mesh construction is selected around scalp, comfort, activity, lifestyle and budget.

Personal finishing and ongoing aftercare

Each piece is cut and styled on the client, with adjustments, maintenance and support available beyond fitting.

CRAFTSMANSHIP

Made to disappear into real life.

Fully bespoke work uses fine lace and carefully chosen mono, silk or scalp-effect construction where the front and parting need to look natural in daylight. Colour is matched against the client’s own hair in natural light, with density and finishing calibrated to the person rather than to a mannequin. The right recommendation is the one that suits the scalp, hairline, daily routine and budget—and Sarah will say when a piece is not the right fit.

My mum had been suffering hair loss due to cancer treatment and it was really affecting her confidence. So we decided to try and find someone near who did wigs. Little did we know that Sarah was literally on our doorstep (3 miles away). An appointment was made for the following week. Arriving into Sarah's salon we were met with a warm welcome, and my mum was instantly made to feel at ease. Sarah went through the consultation and proceeded to look at wig options and then got my mum to try some on. A wig was picked and colour decided and ordered.
2 weeks later we returned to Sarah's salon, again being greeted with a lovely smile. My mum had become a bit nervous about wearing a wig, but Sarah put her at ease and proceeded to try the wig on. Mum loved it!. Sarah talked her through after care and said she could return any time if she wanted a trim or any after care help. My mum left the Salon with a spring in her step.
We can only thank Sarah for her kindness and bringing back my mums confidence. X

I am highly delighted with my wig and the personal service I received from Sarah.
Time was taken to ensure the fitting and size was correct and that I was happy with the style and colour chosen. Although I knew the style was the right choiceI, I was given the option of trying alternatives if I had doubts about the colour I had selected. When it arrived the colour was perfect. On the day of the final fitting Nicole arrived to cut and style my wig to my liking. I was advised not to have too much cut off initially as I could return at a later date to adjust the style further, if required. Thank you Sarah and Nicole for giving me my confidence back ✨️😊

Sarah was absolutely charming and took the time and trouble to identify the right wig for me. When it was delivered the fitting achieved a perfect result. I’m really delighted and wholeheartedly recommend Sarah to anyone.

Sarah went above and beyond to help us to find the right wig at an extremely difficult time for us. At every point of contact with Sarah from the first initial phone call, to the consultation and fittings, she demonstrated amazing kindness, warmth and patience with us. The appointment room at Matlock is comfortable, bright, private and welcoming. If you are reading this and are struggling with hair loss issues, I would recommend that you pick up the phone and call Sarah. You won’t regret it.
