Andrew DiSimone Wigs

I wish there were negative stars to give this establishment. I just came today from there. I called 3 times to gather information prior to going. I WAS NEVER TOLD THAT I NEEDED AN APPOINTMENT! Not to mention that when I got there all the individuals, all four of them were totally UNINTERESTED IN ME OR WHAT I HAD TO SAY! I HAD BRAIN SURGERY ON ⁷⁄₂₃ AND ALTHOUGH MY HAIR IS GROWING IN, I AM IN DIRE NEED OF A WIG BECAUSE I CAN’T GO TO WORK LOOKING LIKE THIS! When told about the appt. I complained and then this young man came out with the same uninterested look and put me in the human hair wig room. A closet sized room with about 30 wigs! NO selection. when I stated that I was looking for synthetic, he said he’d be back and then returned saying that he couldn’t help me because there was a stylist with someone in the synthetic room who didn’t want to be seen. I gave him a very specific request. Short, small wig in ash blonde! He couldn’t have grabbed something? I explained that I came from far away and they still didn’t care. HORRIBLE, DISGRACEFUL, DISGUSTED! STAY AWAY!

I had the great pleasure of working with Andrew through the wig program at the American Cancer Society. Cancer is a devastating blow, but thank God there are people like Andrew. He was so gracious, comforting and inspiring throughout our wig session. We found the perfect colored wig for me and then he cut and styled it. I felt like a million bucks; almost as if the wig were my real hair. I just started chemo treatments and have five more to go but just knowing that I have a nice wig will help me get through it. Sometimes it’s very small things that brighten our spirits, and Andrew’s work helps so many women in my position. I look forward to seeing him when my treatments are finished and I have my real hair back. I can’t recommend him enough!

My mother is a cancer patient, and was hesitant about using a wig as a way to deal with the hair loss. But I told her that wig shopping or going some place for a wig consultation wouldn’t hurt, and that she did not have to commit to anything if she did not want to. We found Andrew DiSimone online and went in to see him right away. Andrew was kind, supportive, and he was not at all pushy about us committing to a wig right then and there. He gave us personalized attention while also giving us space to discuss whether or not a wig was something that my mom wanted.
We decided on one of the wigs he showed us, after he gave us his honest reviews of real hair wig vs. synthetic wigs. Because my mom has had short hair for years, she wanted a short wig. Andrew suggested we go with a synthetic wig since real hair wigs are best long (he did not push the more expensive real hair wigs).
During the whole consultation I felt that Andrew was honestly trying to help. Talking to him was more like talking a friend with experience with cancer patients rather than a salesman.
Andrew cut and styled the wig to my mother’s liking without charging extra, and offered to retouch whenever she liked if she felt she wanted to alter it a little more. He has also offered to cut and style her real hair when it grows back after chemo free of charge.
I highly recommend Wigs for Cancer Patients with Andrew DiSimone for anyone going through the very scary, painful, and stressful cancer journey.
