About

La Mariposa was founded in 2018 by Jazmin Bosques, who is listed as its founder. The business began as a small side service making wigs and hair extensions for cancer and alopecia patients. It now operates as a faith-based beauty and fashion organization, also listed as La Mariposa LLC.

The business says its focus is confidence and care, with the aim of helping women feel confident in how they manage their own hair. It describes its mission as offering hair extensions and wigs of high quality with personal attention.

Clients can use the local service center by dropping off and picking up in person, or by mail-in order, where the business covers return shipping. Prices for in-store services may differ from mail-in prices. Appointments do not allow children, pets or extra guests, and smoking and strong odors are not permitted. Aftercare instructions are given during appointments, and the business notes that not following them may lead to hair loss or damage. Services include worship music, open prayer and faith-based conversation.

Consultation appointments cover meal, hydration and vitamin coaching for women dealing with hair loss, traction alopecia or recovery from cancer treatment. Custom wig creation uses only 100% human hair, with synthetic and blended units not accepted. Pricing starts at $250 and varies by selections made at purchase, and each custom order includes a free virtual consultation to discuss the unit. Typical turnaround is 3 to 5 business days after the order is placed, same-day turnaround is not available, and full payment is due when the final order is placed. Custom wigs and wig customization are non-returnable, though one complimentary remake is offered if a wig does not fit properly or needs minor resizing.

Repair and maintenance costs $55 per hair extension or wig unit, plus any add-ons, with a $35 deposit due at order and the balance due at check-in. Orders are typically ready within 1 to 2 business days, and same-day repair is available for an extra fee on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays. The shop also sells human hair bundles, lace closures and lace closure wigs, and hair care items such as a scalp oil and heatless rollers. Payment is accepted by PayPal, Visa and MasterCard online and in store, with Zelle and Apple Pay available in store only.

The business builds its work around confidence and care, aiming to help women feel more confident in managing their own hair.

Appointments include worship music, open prayer and faith-based conversation.
