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.

      Sally, thank you for deciding to post your life experiences. They have certainly struck some chords with me, and have caused me to look again at my life and where I am going.  I will not take up your thread with my thoughts, but suffice to say that I was commissioned into the military (RAF) as an aviator in 1963. Fortunately my cross-gender feelings were mild and easily suppressed. It is only in later life that they have come to the fore.   I look forward to reading more.   Karen

      I tried the superglue and it didn’t stick to the plastic bag. So I am using some chicken cutlet forms until I find a cheap replacement or go more permanently and get top surgery. I just need to get a therapist note for insurance to cover the surgery. I’ll use Tegaderm repair on the ripped on special occasions like my cousins wedding.

      The bridal shower went very well. My wife, mother and I went. We bowled (I sucked at it) and went to a bar afterwards. I was totally accepted by my family and the brides friends. That is what I had been expecting from this side of my family. My one cousin who got married last year told me that she wished I had went as myself instead of listening to my mother telling me to go in boy mode.

      It doesn't just seem that it is, it actually is. aging trans people are left out of nearly 90% of all the help said to be available to transgender people.   Here in Texas, there are not many, if any actually created for aging transgender people. Planned Parenthood pretty much has only been active for trans youth, primarily, as of late. I can't even find legal help for discrimination cases that would help by allowing me to show that it is trans care related. By the way, I don't qualify for medicare as I am turning 55 this year. I also can't get Medicaid either.    Trans youths are not the only ones needing help. Aging trans need just as much help, BUT, are pushed aside as though we as older transgender people, do not matter. I agree the youth are our future, but until the youth decides to listen to what is being taught to them instead of thinking they know everything, the youth of the nation will be our demise.

      Wednesday CNA was rather agreeable today (unusual for her). She basically just stated, "you really need to read your bible." I answered, "yes thank you, I do!"   She wanted to tighten my bra bands and I told her I don't like them too tight.  She said, "oh yeah, yours are just fat and not milk ducts so they aren't heavy."   That started into a conversation about how a bra works, and that the band/gore support the majority of the weight. The bands just helps keep things aligned.    Also, my mammograms say, "scattered fibroglandular tissue" just like a third of women out there. They most definitely have milk glands.

      I have to wonder if interstate commerce laws might be violated here.    Hugs,   Charlize

      This tread is based on the titling of a bill.  That is what the judges ruling spoke to.  Please keep on topic.  If one wishes to write about rest room funding one can start a topic.      Pity the title did not also mention restricting the rights of the parents who support their children.  Perhaps that is only important if a child tries to speak to a teacher about gender issues.  Then, suddenly, parental rights become important.   Hugs,   Charlize

      WEARINESS When stress from adverse or challenging events in life occur continually, you can find yourself in a state of feeling emotionally worn out and drained. This is called emotional exhaustion. For most people, emotional exhaustion tends to build up slowly over time.
