Addy is absolutely wonderful!!! If you have a wig that you'd like to have cut and/or styled, Addy is the person to go to. I brought several wigs to her and she did an amazing job. I have so much confidence in her and am planning to go to her for all my future haircuts and coloring. I'd also like to add that she is a sweet and friendly person with a great personality. I'm so happy with my wigs and look forward to wearing them!!!

Addy is the best! My wife died from COVID given her in a hospital, but she had been successfully fighting glioblastoma (GBM), the same brain cancer that killed U.S. Senator John McCain, for 3 years! As part of her therapy for the GBM she used the Optune Device which sends electrical currents thru your skull that stop the cancer from spreading, increasing survivability from a normal 5% up to 15%, but you must replace the device's head arrays/electrodes every 4 days, which means her head had to be shaved clean for each change. The hospital killed her, and her hair always mattered to her before the cancer. During her fight, she would always wear a favorite baseball hat for any outside appointments. Now, for her wake/viewing, I had to find a wig fast that would best resemble her hair prior to her disease. Worst, even back then, just getting a good/acceptable haircut for her was tough anyway; too many times she came back from HER salon, from HER hairdresser, crying about her "result"! I went crazy emailing all sorts of wig suppliers, and Addy replied in very short order. She reassured me she'd been long established, and even had a number of customers who, realizing they were dying/would die in short order, asked that she do their hair and make-up after the fact to make them look perfect for their own funerals and families. I sent Addy a bunch of pictures, she sent me her suggestions for colors (as that was also always a hard match for my wife), and, based off my wife's style, ordered a custom wig; she told me she can interact with her suppliers to get a one-off custom wig. She had it sent directly to the funeral home in Fishkill, NY (Mid-Hudson Valley), and reassured me that if the funeral home didn't think they could match my wife's look, she would come and do it herself. She said if she had to, she would cut the wig was it was placed on to make everything perfect. But, her "wig work" was so perfect, so exact, her further help wasn't required. Although a death, everyone said my wife's hair was perfect -- literally an exact match! In this bad time, Addy was the perfect person to have addressing this issue, and her results were fantastic. I thank God He sent her to us. I can only imagine the services and excellency she provides to patrons still in this life. Plus, the cost was very reasonable, comparing the costs of on-line sites offering "standard wigs", especially as this was a custom job just for my wife. I can't say enough, and we even had to deal with a snow storm! Thank you Addy! You are the best!
