History

Established in 2006.

For a long time, the Duchess ran a wig shop in Florida called Wig Wam, and she met Scott there. They later moved together to Asheville, and the rest is history! Since 2006, the two have been working on Merrimon Avenue helping people with cancer and alopecia find the right wigs and accessories. They also assist those searching for costume pieces, or items to suit their identity, as well as folks with perfectly good hair who just want something different! Their policy is that everyone is welcome and accepted in this place of business.

«Judy is the most loving, heartfelt, and giving woman you’ll ever meet in your life. She comes to us from London, and her British charm radiates through the shop. Her humor is so uplifting that if you come in with a frown, you may just leave with a smile.» –Juanita (coworker)
