By now, we’ve probably all seen at least one of the SNL skits riffing on Sarah Palin’s interviews and debate skills. But would you guess wig makers are getting requests for hair that looks like hers? Well, at least one wig maker in NYC.
The ‘Sarah Palin Wig,’ is the latest head covering to go on sale at Sheitel.com, a Brooklyn wig shop and Web site for Orthodox Jewish women must wear wigs, or other head coverings as they maintain modesty by concealing their natural hair. If you don’t need the hair-cutting basics like a salon, scissors, left-handed shears and a good colorist, I guess this could be one alternative!
“One of our stylists thought it would make a good style, so we produced it,” said Boruch Shlanger, one of Sheitel.com’s owners. “It is very easy to maintain, and is a very classic look, yet fashion forward!” (just a thought: aren’t all wigs easy to maintain, theoretically?)
The Sarah wig is composed of 100% human hair, and is selling for $795. The wig is the first of its kind inspired by the Republican ticket – but it is not the only one influenced by a potential American president. ‘There had been requests for Hillary Clinton wigs in the past,’ wrote Shlanger, who temporarily did then produce the wigs.
Sounds funny to us, but I guess it’s the wig equivalent of going to the salon with a picture of your favorite celeb!
A man who admitted to burgling eight hair salon in England and stealing close to $10,000 in stylist’ tips will be going to prison for a year.
It’s a little odd that in such a lucraitve locale like a salon, he would opt for tips, and not expensive tools like left handed scissors, razors, or special shears. Some theives recently have gone for hair extensions or wigs.
Darren Holloway, 23, raided salons during August and September, and pleaded guilty to two counts of burglary.
Holloway was caught as a result of forensic evidence gathered at the scenes.
A spokeswoman for the police said: “Some of the money was kept in desk drawers and quite easy to get into.
“Our understanding is that he was stealing to feed a habit and these petty cash boxes were adequate for his needs.”
A trailer parked out back of someone’s home may not be your first choice when it comes to where your stylist is located – most people are likely to pick a salon based on ammenities, location, services, types of shears and scissors including thinning shears, left handed scissors, making sure the stylist has whatever tools are needed! But a trailer has served one woman well for forty years. Lucille Spicer is turning 90, and she has spent many of her days in the beauty shop/trailer behind her home in kansas.
“I’ve done hundreds and hundreds of customers,” Lucille says. It started back in the 1940′s, when Lucille spent six months in the Venus beauty school in Wichita. “We had uniforms made out of white sheets that we ironed. I’m old-fashioned. We did pincurls with hairpins – not bobby pins. You had to really study. We had to know all about muscles and everything inside the head. I had to learn to use brush rollers for the shop. I couldn’t do these young girls of today – no way.”
In her prime Lucille did 10 customers a day six days a week, although she says she has slown down because she is “not very fast,” now. Still, she describes herslef as “Probably the happiest woman in Hazelton.”
