Wig Villa

Wig Villa & Hair Supply has been serving St. Petersburg since 1974, which the shop's about page puts at 46 years. The store stocks human hair, synthetic and monofilament wigs and hairpieces, in a range of sizes and colors and in straight, wavy or curly styles at long, medium or short lengths. Wigs are offered for women, men and children, and the inventory also includes toupees, hair extensions and other added hair products.

The shop works with people who are losing hair for many reasons, including thinning hair, alopecia, medical treatment such as cancer care, and gender transition. It welcomes people who have never worn a wig as well as experienced wearers. First-time clients can book a free consultation to talk through options for hair loss or a medical condition, which runs 45 minutes.

Fittings are a 45 minute appointment, limited to trying on five styles, for $35; that fee is waived when the client buys an item. Hairpieces bought at the shop can have their length and volume adjusted from $25, and those bought elsewhere from $45. Haircuts are priced by service and start at 15 minutes, with bang trims included at no charge. Drop-off wash and style appointments take about 30 minutes, and clients can also pick up an order during a 45 minute visit at no cost.

For medical wigs, also called cranial prostheses, the shop helps clients seek insurance reimbursement. It gives an itemized receipt at purchase that lists the business name and contact details, the description Cranial Prosthesis, the purchase date and the total cost, and it includes a tax ID number if the insurer asks for one. Reimbursement generally depends on a physician's prescription that carries a diagnosis code and the same Cranial Prosthesis description.

The shop describes its aim as offering the finest wigs and hairpieces, backed by enough experience and inventory to meet any need. Consultations are offered to first-time clients who want guidance before choosing a wig.
