Wig Stores

I am just wondering if anyone knows any decent wig stores in the Portland, Oregon or Eugene area?

I do not personally know of any in your area, but the way I have found them where I am was by going to their websites which you can get with "wig stores , city" and seeing if they advertise their brands of wigs.  Good brands for beginners are Revlon, Jon Renau Louis Ferre, and Raquel Welch, and some others too. Motown Tresses are a good brand for people with dark very curly hair. If they carry those brands and are in a safe area of your town call them ahead of time and ask.  Wig stores are accepting places generally speaking since they do not care who buys their stuff.  The reason I am answering this way is because we do not have a whole load of members in your area.

Hi, Paris.  I agree with what Vicky said.  Most wig stores are happy to welcome any customers.  If you are nervous about trying on wigs, ask if they can give you some privacy.  Most will do all they can to accommodate your needs.  Be sure to tell the proprietor what style and length you're looking for; that will help them narrow down your choices.  Also, if you have a max price in mind, tell them that, too.

 

Natural hair wigs can be pricey, but even good quality monofilament or other man made materials can be expensive.  But hair is one of the first things people notice about you, so get the best you can afford, something that fits your face and natural hair and skin tone.  The last thing you want to do is get something that looks like it was meant for a Halloween party (unless, of course, you're going to a Halloween party).

 

Best of luck!

Completely agree. Also, it's fun to go try on new looks.

 

I've got a great little store just around the corner. I'm going to be very sad if the Stay At Home mandate kills them off.

 

Hugs!

I have bought wigs from Paula Young and the Wig Store, both online. I was too afraid to go wig shopping in person. The wigs that I bought were not expensive, I think I only paid 30 dollars for them, but they were on sale. People thought  that it was my real hair. If you go to my profile there is a picture of me with one of my wigs. When I stopped wearing them people commented on my new haircut.

I have bought from Wilshire Wigs out of N. Hollywood for 20 years.  These are quality wigs that look extremely realistic. A cheap looking wig will draw a lot of unwanted attention.

I have actually gone to their brick and mortar store to get several of my wigs.  They have very good stuff.

      Oh, I can relate to that one Vicky, leaving lipstick in hot weather  I've lost count how many times I had to purchase new purses. 
    • Ladypcnj
      Thanks for the replies, as an admin from my own group I understand the same rules, agreed.

      Any links posted would have to meet this criteria  All content posted or shared through TransPulse services must be appropriate for minors. We welcome members aged 13 to 18. As such, adult or pornographic content, nudity, underwear images, violence, gore, and other content not suitable for minors may not be posted anywhere to this service.

      I do spoken word acting, and give Trans 101 talks and other public speaking.  I wear make-up for those occasions.  Sephora is easy for me to get to, and has a foundation that does a good job for me and the sales folks there are Trans Friendly.  Their eye shadow pallets are also fun to use. Another source of my foundation is Ulta which carries Dermablend that does a consistent job of my lower face and chin.   I just use good old Revlon lipsticks because I ruin them by leaving my purse in the hot car too often.

      I'm not interested in makeup, jewelry or nice clothes or girly stuff.  It's made me wonder at times.   It saves some money.  If I wore a skirt it would likely  be denim.  I thought about a woman's skirt suit but nah.   Neither of my sisters are into that stuff either.  One likes peasant chic (still a 60s flower girl)  and the other - the only time she has ever worn a dress was at her wedding.  Jeans at all other times.   Jeans and t shirt here.  Content being a girl.  Weirdo. Weirda? Never mind.

      @Ladypcnj Before posting links to other group's websites, PM one of the Staff (preferably an Admin) and have them check that site out.   We have specific rules here regarding age appropriateness and would need to know that the other site is in line with those rules.  We do have members here between 13 and 18 and other sites need to be safe for that age range, legally and otherwise.  Also, we are not a dating or pick-up site, not do we allow people selling things to advertise here.  As I said clear the link with a moderator or admin before posting it.  Mod's and admins do check out posts and if we find problem links we will remove them and notify the OP of a rules violation.  Go to https://www.transgenderpulse.com/community-rules to understand where we are.

      I raise my hand in the group, I have a question and a suggestion... is it allowed to share other new lgbtq+ website links here? 
    • Ladypcnj
      Yeah, ELF is a good brand, another brand is Revlon ColorStay last 24 hours.

      Sir is good, as well as mister! I don't mind Mx. but my brain's first thought is a mixer.

      giggles..sounds much more comfy   I'm on 5 minute break outside n wondering if i can open my blouse..oops..maybe not ..laughs

      I really don't think that's a good idea. The unity of the LGB and T community is historic and has been central for both groups rights. And the vast majority of people advocating for splitting the two are transphobic LGB's who are broadly condemned by the community anyway.

      A bit late in updating, but I've had the draft of the official diagnosis and have (as yet unconfirmed) an endo consultation next month.   Next to arrive will be the supporting documentation for my new passport application for my correct gender.  This will then be my official ID for all the other updates - bank, tax, payroll etc.   It just feels good to to be proactive again rather than waiting for other people to move at a leisurely pace.

      I like ELF brand cosmetics, I can pick them up at JC Penny.    I wear makeup everyday, but mostly just very light makeup.
