Stephanie's Salon

Stephanie's Salon describes itself as a wig boutique in Columbus, Ohio. It sells pre-made women's wigs and hairpieces in human hair and synthetic styles, and it offers custom order pieces. The salon does not make wigs or buy hair.

Visits are by appointment only, and walk-ins are not accepted. Appointments are requested through the request appointment tab on the website. Confirmations and reminders go out by email through MindBody to clients who opt in. The salon asks clients to report scheduling conflicts as early as possible, since last-minute cancellations and no-shows affect a business that works by appointment.

A wig consultation costs $40, and that fee goes toward a first purchase. Wig sizing is based on head size, so the consultation includes a head measurement. Topper consultations are one-on-one and cover the look a client wants, their hair loss situation, measurements, and color matching with hair swatches. Clients are asked to arrive with their hair in the color and length they prefer, and there are many topper sizes and shapes to try on. Human hair toppers generally range from $600 to $950 depending on base size and length. The salon recommends human hair for toppers. Toppers cover part of the head, are held on with silicone-lined clips, and generally need washing only every 30 to 40 wearings.

Pieces can be bought on site or ordered, and orders generally arrive in about a week. Every wig and hairpiece is custom cut, and human hair pieces are custom colored when needed. At pickup, custom cutting and styling takes 30 to 60 minutes and includes instruction on application and care. Temporary or permanent wig cap alterations are done on site. Wig and hairpiece services are offered on an ongoing basis at near online pricing.

Standard cap synthetic wigs are typically under $200, monotop synthetic wigs and lacefront synthetic wigs usually run $200 to $350, and human hair wigs generally cost a minimum of $1,000. The salon describes itself as carrying the most modern wig styles and colors. Gift cards can be used on services or retail items, and e-gift cards are sold in $40, $50, $75 and $100 amounts or a custom amount. The salon does not accept insurance, but it can provide a detailed receipt for reimbursement if the insurer allows it.

The salon focuses on helping people with hair loss and teaches clients how to care for and style their hair additions.
