Title: Where to buy wigs???
Post by: Hazuza on August 27, 2006, 08:04:44 pm: o.O... um... Anyone know where I can get wigs for cosplay?

<.< This year, I'm looking for white/light gray, but I might have to get spray instead, since I don't have much time left before the con... -.-...

But anyways, know where I can get any, and the prices?

Arigatou!

http://www.cosplaysupplies.com/quality/main.html

That is the main wig page at Cosplay Supplies. And that is where I got my Toboe cosplay wig.

It has not arrived in the mail yet, but it was told to me that it should be here no later than Friday.

You better hurry, though. They're apparently really sucky with shipping this week, or so their site informs me.

But it should come if you're shipping it to Oregon, because it's shipping from Los Angeles. I ordered mine yesterday, and if you order one tonight, it should be here no later than Saturday, I would think?

But I would say ordering it tonight is the latest you can wait.[/size]

I know the 3 places I went to yesterday were all setting up for Halloween and were expecting to be completely stocked by the first part of this week.

Check out the party supply stores or if one of those Halloween Stores if there is one in your area.

I ordered mine from Amphigory.com

Though both of those are if you're looking for quality wigs, which means you're going to be paying a bit for them.

If you are lucky the manufacturer will have them in stock if not you could be waiting for about a month.... Like I was... :? But they're wigs are really great!

They were extremely helpful, had a good selection, and even referred me to a cheap skilled wig stylist. They're on first and..something in Beaverton. They're under 'costume stores' in the phone book.
