Other than just wigs, of course, we carry all chemo-related products as well. We carry a full array of turbans and hats. We carry UV-protected hats made by Wallaroo. They’re fabulous, and they also tie on the inside so they’re adjustable to your head size, which is great when you don’t have hair. We carry halos and face framers, which is basically just hair that has no top so that you can wear any hat or turban on top. We carry something called a hat-and-hair, which is literally a baseball hat with hair attached. These are fabulous items for women who are going through chemo because you might not always want to wear your wig if you’re just kind running around to the supermarket and you can just throw something easy on, or just relaxing around the house and someone comes to your door.
We carry products for women going through chemo. They’re all-natural and can help keep your eyebrows and eyelashes, which is an amazing thing as opposed to stenciling an eyebrow on. These products make you look completely natural and feel better about yourself.
We carry skincare products for the top of your scalp, because that’s often forgotten about when you don’t have hair; it helps keep moisture in. The products we carry will help with some of the discomfort of the hair falling out and also help to have the regrowth growing evenly as opposed to in patches. So we do carry all of those as well.
We carry a special turban that’s made out of a bamboo material, which helps your head stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Aside from all of those products, we also carry a wide variety of human hair extensions and synthetic extensions for women who just want fullness and length. We carry ponytails and pony-wraps, clip-in bangs, braided headbands for women who just want to put a little braid in their hair and hold their hair back with a headband. Just a bunch of really fun items for volume and for style and length.
We also carry for women that are thinning on top, where you got little patches or you may not need a full wig. We have a fabulous collection of clip-in toppers for either a small patch here or a full “give me volume and length” type of thing as well. Curly, straight, different size bases, so if you just need a little coverage with a small base, or a big base for a lot of coverage.
We also carry men’s wigs, so we do men’s hair pieces and wigs as well. We’ve got a privacy booth in the back for men that may not want to sit out in front, or even for women who don’t want to be out in the open. We have booths out front as well for women, or people, that are fine being out here as well.
The holidays are here! If you’re like many, that means shopping, running errands, spending time with family, bouncing from one party to the next, and trying to carry that seasonal spirit all the way through the New Year. While the holidays are exhilarating, they can also be exhausting. And sometimes we’re just too tired to spend much time and attention on ourselves. But with a wig, you’re halfway there! Looking great in a wig for the holidays is easy!
Keep Up the Maintenance
Whenever you have a busy time coming up, just like the holidays, keeping up with wig maintenance may seem like an easy way to get back a few minutes in your day. You may think you’ll comb out the wig in the morning, or you’ll make time to wash it next weekend. But slipping on your regular wig maintenance will means that the wig is not looking it’s best when it comes time to show it off at that next party. Always brush, comb or pick through your wig after wearing it. Shampoo every few weeks, depending on how often you wear it. And don’t forget the conditioner – especially in the dry winter air!
Sparkle and Shine
Styling your wig for the season doesn’t get much easier than adding accessories. Clips, pins and headbands look great on almost any wig style. A little sparkle goes a long way and can even cover up any other styling or maintenance mishaps. If you’re going to be outside, consider a hat as a functional and fashionable accessory. It will keep you warmer, help protect your wig from the weather elements and cut your wig styling time since it will be covered up with a hat anyway!
Wig Elegance for Elegant Holiday Hair
No matter what time of year you’re sporting your wig, wear it with confidence. Even the most sparkly clip or elaborate updo can’t outshine confidence and a head held high. Looking for other ways to look great in a wig for the holidays? Come in and see us at Rosalind Stella’s Wig Boutique! Call us at (215) 725-3930 or stop in and see us on Bustleton Avenue!
What a Wig Salon Can Do for You
Whether you’re a wig wearing pro or you’re searching for your first wig, you’ve probably been online. There are tons of websites and information that can help you learn the lingo, the origin of various human hair wigs, all the different cap styles and how wigs are measured. All that information and research can certainly help you narrow down your choices. But there really is no comparison to going into a wig salon and working with professionals. Here’s what a wig salon can do for you in your search for perfect hair.
Professional Stylists
Experienced, professional stylists are the best reason to rely on a wig salon like Rosalind Stella’s. Not only can the stylists answer any and all of your questions, but they can also speak from experience. They may wear a wig themselves, or they’ve helped so many other clients, they’ve learned from their feedback.
Of course, working one on one with a stylist means you get to try on a lot of wigs. And also lends to getting the stylist’s opinion on what colors, cuts and textures look bets on you. This is especially helpful when you are trying to match a previous style or part of your own natural hair. Plus, a stylist will measure your head so that you order the perfect size.
Maintenance and Care
Learning how to care for your wig is a big part of the process, but a wig salon makes it simple. At Rosalind Stella’s Wig Boutique, we show you each step of the process and recommend the tools and products you need. We also offer maintenance services just like a salon – shampoos, trims, color and more. A wig salon does so much for you and your wig shopping experience – leave it to the experts and you’ll be on your way to a good hair day everyday! Call (215) 725-3930 to make your appointment today!
The jump into buying and wearing a wig can be both exciting and nerve racking. After you find the perfect hair piece, how do you style it? What products should you use to care for it? And what if the wig doesn’t look just right – can you cut it or change the color? Having a full service wig salon nearby can take a lot of the anxiety out of wearing a wig.
Here are 5 other reasons to take your wig to a wig stylist like those at Rosalind Stella’s Wig Boutique!
1.Wash and wear. Wearing a wig means you can have a good hair day every day, and without all the time and hassle in washing and styling your hair every day. But how often should you wash your wig? And what’s the best way to wash to keep it looking fresh and new? Using a wig salon to wash your wig for you with set, scheduled appointments takes the guesswork out and makes it easy to look great every day!
2. Products galore. Wearing a wig means using only hair products made for wigs. Shampoos, conditioner, leave-in conditioner, combs, wig stands, styling tools, styling products… While you still need some of these products, like combs and wig stands, taking your wig to a wig stylist can cut down on the products you need to buy and keep on hand.
3. Custom cut. A wig stylist can trim your wig to fit your face shape, or even cut the style to create a whole new look. This is definitely something only a professional stylist should do, and he or she can make these adjustments while looking at the wig on you, which you couldn’t do yourself.
4. Custom color. Is the color of your wig not quite complimentary to your skin tone? Or do you want to spruce up your wig for the new season? A wig stylists can custom color your wig to make the look truly your own. Again, this is something only a professional wig stylist should do to maintain the integrity and life of the wig.
5. Peace of mind. There really is no replacement for feeling like your wig is in good hands. Taking your wig to a wig stylist means you can rest assured that the cut, color and care of your wig is in a professional’s hands!

If you’ve ever considered wearing a wig or a hair piece, you probably have a lot of questions. Like which looks more natural, human hair or synthetic wigs? Or what cap construction will look natural but also be comfortable? And what color and style should you try – something similar to your own hair or something completely different? But even before you start with all the choices and the shopping, you may actually want to know what it’s like to wear a wig.
Do wigs really look natural?
This is one of the questions that gets asked most. And we find that most of our customers say that few notice they are wearing a wig, unless the person noticing know hair pieces or is wearing a wig, too. With the right adhesion techniques and products, the wig will stay in place throughout most activities and some can even be styled just like your own hair.
Are they comfortable?
Another common question: are wigs comfortable to wear? This is where your series of questions to find the right wig for you will come in very handy. The short answer is yes, a wig that is made for your specific use and lifestyle should be comfortable. Using the experienced stylists at Rosalind Stella’s Wig Boutique will help you determine the best wig cap construction that will be most comfortable. Like with any new adventures, it may take a little time to feel comfortable and confident wearing your new wig, but give it time (a couple weeks). Women and men who have been wearing a wig or hair piece for years or even months barely notice they are wearing one now.

Buying a Halloween wig and costume may seem like a large expense, especially for one wear on one day. Then add up all the different costume pieces for a new costume every year! But there are ways to make the most of your costume elements and use them for multiple characters, even your wig. Check out our Halloween inspiration on how to make one wig work for multiple uses.
Mix Up the Characters but Keep the Same Wig
The best way to get the most wear out of your Halloween wig is to come up with several different characters or personalities that could use the same base wig. Keep in mind you can add accessories like scarves, glasses and headbands. And with some wigs you can even create braids, pigtails, curls or updos.
Here’s a great example. A short black bob wig could work for a 1920’s flapper, just add a headpiece with a feather and some heavy eye makeup. Then it could be used with an Egyptian head piece to create a modern Cleopatra. Think of a chic Chanel-inspired pastel skirt suit and hat and you could be Jackie Kennedy Onassis. Then there’s the ever popular Snow White, which could be played any number of ways from classic to more risqué. But all involve a short black wig.
At Rosalind Stella’s Wig Boutique, we specialize in more than just the best selection of wigs in the Philadelphia area. We help you to select the wig that is right for you, your lifestyle and your use. We show you how to style your wig and care for it.

Whether you’ve just started wearing a wig or you’ve been sporting hairpieces and accessories for years, the idea of wearing a sleep cap may seem like a new concept. It may even seem old-fashioned and unnecessary. But we’re here to tell you that wearing a sleep cap can increase your comfort and even your health! Here are 3 benefits of women’s sleep caps.
They keep your head warm. This is one of the original purposes for a sleep cap and it still serves its purpose. Just like babies wear hats to keep their hairless heads warm, and thus their bodies warm to help them ward off illnesses, wearing a sleep cap can keep you warm at night. This is especially true in in colder climates, for older people who may lose some padding under their scalp, and for those who are suffering from hair loss due to medical treatments like chemotherapy.
They hold your hair in place. Sleeping caps can also be used to keep a hairstyle, particularly a curly or very long style, from getting tangled pull the curls out. And if you have braided hair, perhaps how you secure your wig cap to your head, a sleeping cap can help keep the braids neat and in place, rather than getting frizzy and pulled out during tossing and turning at night.
Better sleep. When your body is at the right temperature and you’re not rolling over your hair and pulling it in the middle of the night as you sleep, you can actually get more restful sleep.
So give a women’s sleep cap a try and see if it helps your hair and your sleep! Rosalind Stella’s Wig Boutique carries caps of all styles and colors. Call (215) 725-3930 with any questions or come into our Philadelphia shop to see the selection and try one on!
Trends and styles can change as quickly as the seasons. What was in style last year may be a thing of the past. Or, for styles like the classic bob, it may never really go out of style. Since we’re more than halfway through 2016, let’s take a look at the trendy and best selling wigs of 2016 (so far).
Natural Waves
The beach waves trend has been one that’s really stood the test of time, and 2016 is no different. We’re still seeing the tousled, wavy looks in all shades and lengths. The loose curls are both natural-looking and add texture and depth for more formal styles. Think Beyoncé. Shoulder length waves are especially popular, landing somewhere between straight and slight wavy, like hair that’s been air dried. This ultra-natural look is popular both with and without bangs.
Sleek and Straight
On the other end of the spectrum, sleek, straight hair is still popular. The super straight edge bangs are a trendy complement to long locks as wells a blunt cut bob. Long locks are also complemented by tapered hair around the face or side-swept long bangs. And for color, the ombre look, or lighter at the bottom and darker at the top, is still a top selling color in shades of brown and blonde.
Whether you’re looking for one of these top trendy styles of 2016, or you’re looking for something that is classic and so “you,” Rosalind Stella’s Wig Boutique can help! We’re conveniently located in Philadelphia on Bustleton Avenue between Glendale Avenue and Rhawn Street. Our professional stylists offer private appointments and fittings – we specialize in caring!
There’s nothing quite like putting on your lovely wig and stepping out with style and confidence. But when something happens to your cherished (and sometimes expensive) mane, that confidence can quickly fade. With Rosalind Stella’s Philadelphia wig repair service, we’ll have your mane and your confidence repaired in no time!
Restoring Tired or Tangled Locks
Tangles and mattes are some of the most common issues with wigs. At Rosalind Stella’s Wig Boutique, we work to detangle and un-matte wigs that were worn during activities, washed with the wrong products, stored incorrectly, or not regularly brushed. Longer length wigs tend to tangle and matte more frequently no matter how gently they are cared for.
In addition to taking out the knots, we can re-perm curly and wavy wigs, replace any hair fibers lost (to a certain extent, some hair loss is unrepairable), and repair and replace torn lace from lace front wigs. Another common complaint is that a wig no longer adheres to the head like it once did. A simple cleaning to remove old adhesive residue from the cap can make the wig fit just like new.
Care for your Hair
One of the best parts of choosing Rosalind Stella’s Wig Boutique is the genuine care we express to each and every customer. Whether you are purchasing your first wig, adding to your collection, or looking for Philadelphia wig repair service, our professional stylists can help. When you purchase a wig from us we take the time to show you how to care for your wig and recommend the best products and actions to keep your wig looking its best as long as possible. But when things get tangled, our repair service is here to help! Call us at (215) 725-3930 with your wig repair questions or to schedule an appointment, or stop by and see us anytime on Bustleton Avenue.
As the streets heat up and the humidity kicks in, putting on your wig may seem like the last thing you want to do in the summer. While synthetic wigs stand up well in humidity and won’t frizz, human hair wigs will react to weather and there are other summer quirks to consider. To truly enjoy your summer and help you have a good hair day every day, read on for Rosalind Stella’s Wig Boutique summer wig tips.
Go Summer Synthetic or Short
Even if your go-to wig is a beautiful human hair piece, consider a synthetic alternative for the steamy summer months. As we just noted, human hair wigs will react to changes in temperature and humidity, whereas a synthetic wig will look great all the time. Synthetic wigs also need less maintenance, so you could get a short wig and just “shake and go” to the beach, a romantic dinner or a night out dancing. And if you are committed to human hair wigs, consider a shorter style like a bob.
It’s also important to remember that wigs do not do well in direct sunlight and heat. Never leave your wig in a hot car or by a window. A hat or scarf can help your comfort level as well as keep your wig from fading. And with excessive heat and sweating, you will likely need to wash your wig a little more often. Be careful not to wash it too much as you can damage the wig, but you do want to keep sweat and oils from building up.

Summer may be the best time for you to try a short bob or mix a new wig into your hair accessories and wardrobe.

Our expertise, professional stylists and the best selection of wigs in the Philadelphia will have you ready to take on the summer in style.
