The Other Woman

The Other Woman, also written as Other Woman Hair, is a hair studio in Laurel, Maryland. Its stated aim is to serve everyday women with wigs, custom wigs, hair extensions and an overall polished look, and to help them express themselves in a way that matches how they see themselves. The business describes its wigs and hair extensions as affordable.

Sew-in services include the Signature Look Sew-In, which uses bundles with minimal leave-out for a natural-looking blend, along with traditional sew-ins, quick weaves, closure sew-ins and flip-over sew-ins. A flip-over sew-in on the site was done with three bundles of 18 inch Cambodian Wavy. Custom color is available on both extensions and wigs.

Wig services include custom wigs and the custom wig refresh, which can add a bundle, replace the closure and custom-color an existing wig. Custom units are chosen by length, color, size, parting and styling, and are placed through the website. A stylist contacts the client within 24 to 48 hours, and an estimated cost is based on the selections made at the style consultation. A final itemized invoice follows once services are confirmed. Ready-to-wear units come pre-made and styled for same-day wear, cost less than custom units, and are restocked by pre-order with delivery in 7 to 12 business days. Glueless units use an elastic band rather than adhesive, and frontals can be made glueless when exact head measurements are provided.

Bridal hair is handled under The Other Woman Bridal. Wedding inquiries go through the contact form and ask for the wedding date, service times, location and the number of people needing services.

Practical notes: orders should be placed about three weeks before the wear date and take 5 to 10 business days to process, excluding weekends, with custom orders sometimes longer. Custom orders are completed first come, first serve, with weekly status updates and a reference number. Custom wig payments are split into a deposit due before service and a balance due after pickup. The studio cannot guarantee exact colors or undertones because unit coloring varies, and it does not color hair that was not provided by the studio. Custom units and wigs cannot be returned or refunded, while unused bundles and closures may be exchanged within 10 days for an incorrect length or texture. Shipping via USPS takes 2 to 5 business days and requires a customer signature.

The studio's philosophy centers on making self-expression easy for everyday women by working from how each client sees herself. Its work covers wigs, custom wigs, extensions and overall glamour.
