ORNA WIGS New York Studio

Orna Wigs sells and services human hair wigs from two studios, one in Manhattan and one in Pikesville, Maryland. The business says it has more than 15 years of experience, beginning in Baltimore and more recently serving Manhattan. Clients can visit either studio in person to see, feel and try on the collection, or book a one-on-one consultation in person or virtually to settle on style, color and fit. Consultations take place in private fitting rooms with soft lighting, and plenty of time is set aside for each appointment. The Pikesville studio also lists 30-minute meetings booked online. Hours are Sunday from 10 AM to 6 PM and Tuesday through Thursday from 9:30 AM to 5 PM, with Mondays by appointment only.

Custom wigs are made in-house and hand-sewn, using hair the business selects for each piece. The business says it uses only 100% virgin hair that has not been dyed or treated, and that making the wigs itself, without a middle party, lets it offer lower prices. Pricing depends on factors such as hair length and how much customization is involved. For a custom wig, the client takes head measurements at home with guidance from the studio. Lace front wigs have a hand-tied lace cap that forms the hairline and are generally less expensive than full lace wigs, which can be parted anywhere and styled in high ponytails. Lace options include 13x4 lace and lace closure, and skin part tops can be parted in any direction. Clip-ins, halos and extensions are offered as alternatives. The business does not sell synthetic wigs.

The ready-made catalog is grouped into toppers, short cuts, bangs, balayage, long styles and bobs, and new wigs are added monthly. Buyers of catalog wigs measure their head with a tape measure and enter the measurements on the website after purchase. Customizations such as adjusting color or adding baby hair are available for catalog pieces, and lace is trimmed to the client's forehead measurements.

The business offers sheitel and kosher wigs for Orthodox Jewish women, including lace sheitels and custom sheitels. Kosher wigs are often certified with a rabbinical hechsher, and the business describes itself as a trusted name in the Jewish community for hair coverings. It also offers human hair wigs for cancer patients, with soft, breathable bases, lightweight construction, hand-tied and monofilament caps, and a range of lengths, colors and textures. Updos on wigs are available for special occasions, including for clients experiencing hair loss. A medical wig service category with private consultations is listed. Human hair toppers may be covered by insurance in the USA when medically necessary, typically as a cranial prosthesis; coverage varies by plan.

Wig repair covers deep cleaning, knot removal, detangling, cap repairs and restyling, and can address shedding, thinning, torn lace, cap damage and color fading. Repairs include fit adjustments, restoring broken lace bases, replacing clips, adding volume to thinning sections and reinforcing lace. The repair team says it has worked with wigs ranging from budget options to high-end designer pieces, and the business says repair is often more affordable than buying a replacement. Styling options include curling wand waves, roller sets, pin curls, low-heat steam setting and custom texture work.

Each wig is planned around the client's own texture, length, density and parting preferences, with an in-person or virtual consultation first and the business's own care advice afterward.

Consultations happen in private fitting rooms with soft lighting and comfortable seating.
