Elite Designer Wigs & Hair Extensions

The business sells human hair and synthetic wigs, toppers and extensions, and accessories for wear and care. Before settling in South Florida in the 1990s, it ran a centralized service center and warehouse in Michigan that delivered styled wigs to six locations. It now operates from two South Florida spots. The business describes itself as the leading retailer of wigs and hair extensions in Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach, and says it works one-on-one with top wig designers.

The Miami location is in the Dixie Pointe Shopping Plaza at South Dixie Highway and 67th Avenue/Ludlam. The Sunrise location, in Sawgrass Plaza next to Outback Steakhouse, is both the retail store and the corporate office. Both have private rooms, and clients can walk in or book appointments. Sunrise is open Monday to Saturday from 10 AM to 6 PM and closed on Sunday, and the site lists the same hours for Miami. Clients out of town, out of state or overseas can order by phone through either location, and the business ships internationally.

Medical clients receive a medical discount. Medical wig color matching is done privately with a licensed staff member, according to the site. Insurance may cover part or all of a wig depending on the provider, though the site notes some providers decline claims even when a prescription and invoice are supplied. The site advises that both the prescription and the invoice name the item as a cranial prosthesis resulting from chemotherapy.

The business also provides extra maintenance and service for wigs and extensions, by appointment or walk-in. Its downloadable Care Guide and Medical Hair Guide cover cleaning, drying and storage in more detail.

Ownership is treated as ongoing care, with guidance on washing, drying, heat and storage for each type of wig or extension.
