I had no idea wigs had names, or that they cost quite so much. I spent an afternoon in a local wig shop waiting for customers with the manager, who wears one. She actually has lots of hair, but she said it saves her 45 minutes each morning to be able to just pin on her hair and go. It always looks as good as it did the day before. Apparently, wigs are making a comeback.
A few weeks ago, dropping off a bridesmaid dress to be altered in a small local shop, I overheard a conversation between the owner and a long-time regular customer. The customer told a story about a younger woman telling her how nice her hair looked. To which the older woman replied, "Thanks. I'll let you borrow it sometime." And with that, the red wig laughed and walked out the door.
