We all want to try new hair colors or Wig selection near me (hi, bob haircuts, and red hair), but not all of us can afford the time, expense and commitment of a salon visit. Luckily, wigs offer a quick, low-cost, and easy way to experiment with looks—or hide those pesky greys—without risking your own locks. To help you find the perfect fake ‘do, we’ve rounded up a selection of NYC’s best wig shops, from lace front wig specialists to costume-specific spots that can help you nail your next cosplay look.
1. Kikko NYC Import Inc
The shop’s incredibly diverse panoply of wigs is the most comprehensive in town—and the prices are among the lowest, too. You’ll find everything from Blonde Ambition-style clip-in ponytails for $14 (at Ricky’s, you’d be hard pressed to score anything at all for less than $50) to full-blown human-hair wigs that can cost upward of $800.
2. Mollica Wigs
A local favorite for women’s wigs, this store has a particularly wide range of options for those seeking solutions to hair loss due to alopecia or medication side effects. The staff—including stylists and wigmakers—provide personalized recommendations and exceptional customer service to help you find the ideal wig or hairpiece, transforming your appearance into something that’s completely natural and undetectable. You’ll also be able to browse the store’s extensive collection of hair extensions and toupees. You can even have a custom style designed here, with prices ranging from $175 to $850.
