Having worn the same style and colour of wig for a number of years I decided it was time for a change, both in style of wig and my attitude towards wearing one. I have always viewed a wig as something to cover up my hair loss, nothing more, I certainly didn’t enjoy wearing one. Having seen the Aderans instagram account with people having fun styling their own wigs, it brought home to me that attitude really counts! I visited the MANCHESTER salon to select a new style. From entering I received a warm, welcoming and friendly greeting from RACHEL, the manager, who was able to answer questions about some of the styles I liked and I soon realised that what she doesn’t know about the stock and styling products isn’t worth knowing! The waiting area is relaxed and has a large array of wigs on display in varying lengths and colours. My selection, fitting and styling appointment was with MICHELLE and took place in a completely private fitting room. Once I had decided on the style and colour I wanted Michelle began to shape the wig - my head is a bit smaller than average, consequently the style looked different on me - she was so attentive and patient, nothing being too much trouble. I had some of the bulk thinned out, the fringe trimmed and was shown how to style it to get the exact shape I had in mind. I asked about various styling products and was shown which product was ideal for the purpose I was trying to achieve. I was absolutely astonished at the level of expertise and service I received, it takes a truly special kind of person to understand how much hair loss affects a person - the team at Aderans MANCHESTER are on board with that and go to great lengths working with the individual client, addressing their specific needs. You also get a wealth of knowledge, tips and tricks to help you along the way. If you’re lucky enough to live within travelling distance of an Aderans salon then I would certainly recommend a visit, the experience is unbelievable. Why would anyone buy a generic off the peg wig when you can have one expertly fitted and styled by a professional? There is absolutely no pressure to purchase anything when you visit the salon, if someone isn’t feeling sure about their choice of wig, Aderans would encourage the client to go home to think about the various options, the last thing they want is for a client to leave their salon with something they’re not sure about. The service offered at Aderans MANCHESTER really has the potential to improve the quality of someone’s life, I would heartily recommend a visit!
