Genevieve’s Wigs

I came in to the shop to buy a wig most specifically for my high school reunion. I’m horrible with names and can’t remember the name of the super nice lady who helped me, but she was awesome. She was very patient and took her time in answering all of my curious questions about the wigs she had in store. She had every color and lots of lengths and hair styles to pick from (wavy, short, long, bangs, no bangs, etc). Her price ranges are from about $ 79-​$ 200 (roughly) depending what you are looking for. I’m not sure what her shorter length wigs run to be honest as I was not asking about them. With proper care I’m truly hoping my wig lasts longer than the crappy ones I bought online in the past. I would definitely return here again so long as I find myself happy with the quality of my wig after several uses. I was blown away by the customer service and patience at this shop!

Absolutely amazing! Kim has the biggest heart and fully took her time with my daughter. My daughter is 6 and has Alopecia Areata. Kim took so much time to understand her situation. She made my daughter very comfortable and welcomed. Kim made us feel like family. Welcomed us with open arms. I even might get myself a wig to join my daughter and teach her its ok to wear a wig. Definitely will recommend them for anyone and everyone interested in a wig!

Genevieve’s is awesome. The customer service is wonderful
I have thinning hair and wanted to buy a topper. They color matched my hair and ordered my topper. Within a couple day I was called to pick up. Samantha cut the topper and I couldn’t be happier. Will definitely recommend Genevieve’s to all my friends.

Kim is great to do business with. She is very knowledgeable with the wigs and has been in the line of business for a long time. Some of the wigs are priced well and all the decent and nice wigs are very pricey which bummed me out but I was able to find a fun wig at a great price. I do like her choice of colors, lighter Browns & dark blonde shades, which are hard to find at other shops.

I have been avoiding getting a wig due to thinning hair for a long time and what I tried online did not compare to what I found here. I am so glad I finally got one and that I got it here. The service and knowledge is incredible. These are the nicest most natural looking wigs I have ever seen. Cutting, styling, and sizing is all included. The prices are amazing as well.

I was at Genevieve’s today and felt inclined to write this review. I had taken two of my top pieces to them a week ago hoping that they could «save» them. Today when I picked them up I was delighted to see that the damage through lots of use plus too many hot rollers was miraculously taken away. They looked beautiful.
Now, that is my comment on their expertise. Now I’d like to say something about their great customer skills. Kim spend time with me telling me the best way to care for my top pieces… what to do and what not to do. She didn’t push for me to bring them in every time I needed them shampooed. Instead she helped me understand and educated me on good care. She really is a pro and Samantha is wonderful too.
I would (and will) recommend them highly.

Already have 5 hair pieces I bought because of hair loss from chemo. None of them were right and I couldn’t wear them. Samantha helped me try on a few that all made me feel pretty again. Just had to decide on one… which I love and will wear every day. I am so grateful to this shop and Samantha’s kind service.

They have a great selection and are very knowledgable. My mom has lost all of her hair due to chemo treatments, and Samantha was so wonderful! My mom found just what she wanted on the second try. We could not have asked for a better experience!

I’m a guy and needed a wig for a theatrical production, intimidating to say the least. The staff at Genevieve’s helped me get over that quickly, and you couldn’t really hope for a better level of service or prices that are more fair. Thank you Kim and Sami!

love this place ! friendly staff and the owner will go above and beyond to help you with what you need.

Friendly help with very caring and compassionate service. This store has been on 17^th street for over 40 years so they must be doing something right. They are open 9:30−6 Tuesday through Friday and 9:30−5 on Saturdays.

Nice wigs but BAD SERVICE. I wanted a long wig just for fun and to change up my color.
I came to the this shop (which is uncomfortably small) and no one was in there even though they weren’t supposed to be closed yet. I went into the beauty supply next door (way better service) to kill some time.
The owner and this other younger girl finally came after 30 minutes with coffee cups in their hands and didn’t even ackowlege me or this other lady as we were patiently waiting outside. They came 20 minutes before closing which was very UNPROFESSIONAL!
The owner seemed cold and the girl with her was making me UNCOMFORTABLE looking at the wigs. When I asked questions, the younger girl was being very loud for some reason and rude at times. She was asking why I came in there and was acting like I was going to steal something.
If the service was better, I would’ve bought a wig. The prices were ok and the longer wigs were cut very nicely. Too bad the service was so bad. I wouldn’t want people like these taking my money. I’d rather give my money to another shop with better service!

Fantastic place. Went in today just to get some info and advice regarding my thinning, fine hair due to Telogen Effluvium. Walked out looking fantastic. Very kind, compassionate staff, but very matter of fact as well. I didn‘t need to just be commiserated with, I needed helpful advice and I got it in spadefuls along with a few laughs. Spent more than I was thinking I would ($ 135 for a hairpiece, not a full wig) but worth every cent — looks totally natural and fantastic service — even said pop back in anytime and they will trim it up for me to suit if I want to change my style.
Will definitely be back and would recommend to ANYONE.

Genevive’s Wigs is an amazing place for wigs! The store isn’t very big and they don’t sell much of anything else.
I went in when my hair was gone from my Chemo treatments. They asked me what I was looking for and gave me a variety of choices. The price was way lower than i was expecting, but still wasn’t cheap. They also wrote on the receipt some special phrasing so I submitted it to my insurance and got reimbursed!
Not only do they sell the wigs, they can style, wash and tell you how to take care of your new found beauty!
I would recommend the service, prices and expertise to anyone.

Best Place ever for non-​cheesy wigs! Quality looks for a fraction of the prices of its competitors! Check it out! Halloween’s coming up, and if you live in the OC and need a wig– don’t go anywhere else!

Why didn’t I go to Genevieve’s 20 years ago! Kim is ABSOLUTELY THE BEST in the business! She takes the time to make sure you are fitted properly, styles like Sasson and understands wigs as she has been in the business (her mother was Genevieve) since birth!
If you need a wig that no one can tell is a wig, and I now have a ton of them, run don’t walk to Genevieve’s! She has my business for LIFE!

Wig Quality: 5 Stars
Service: 4 Stars
Price: 2 Stars
Total: 3 and a half stars — It evens out!
I needed a wig for my Halloween costume this year. I had short notice because I waited until the last minute to pick a costume. I would usually just buy it online, but I searched around online and there weren’t any vendors that would deliver overnight express. I searched on Google and Unilocal for local wig vendors, and ‘Ta-​Da!’ The universe directed me to Genevieve’s.
It’s a tiny mom and pop wig shop. Dainty, cozy (small) and quaint. The walls are lined floor-​to-​ceiling with mannequin heads donned with stylish wigs, for both men and women.
With Halloween right around the corner, it is especially busy in there. There are two friendly and sweet staff ladies that tend to customers on a one-​on-​one basis. The wait and the line is long, but once its your turn to be served they sit you down in front of a mirror and have you try on wigs of your choice. You are handed a nifty hair-​net cap that costs you 3.75 and you try on wigs in front of a mirror. ALl the wigs are handled only by the staff, and are placed on you by the staff.
The style of wigs are professional grade and look suitable for everyday wear. There are also hair clip extensions and a variety of natural-​looking colors. There are a limited amount of alternative colors but I did spot a few blues, pinks, purples, and multi-​color wigs. For more information and an accurate inventory, I recommend walking and or calling them to ask them personally.
I needed a long purple one, the longest one they had was a mid-​length dark purple wig. They had it so I took it. Price: $ 86 including tax and hairnet-​cap. Kind of steep but I can rationalize it as being worth it because it completes my costume goal. I would have given them a 4 Stars, but the price was just so darn steep. Ah well!
If you want a simple halloween wig for lesser quality and are not looking for something fancy, I recommend going to a halloween store or buying one online (I’m sure the online ones will have good quality for a cheaper price). But If you have the patience for the wait (usually during Halloween) and don’t mind paying a steep price for a good quality wig without the hassle of shipping times, this is the place for you.

Found a great wig (get compliments all the time) that looks real. Service in the store was nice too.

So I had to come here to get a wig for work…
What? Doesn’t everyone have to do this at some point for work?
I had to find a wig that looked just like a coworker. I didn’t expect to receive such great service. At first, I was lost trying to find a wig. The owner, whom I found out later has been in this industry since she was a teen, was very knowledgeable and helpful as I was blindly looking for a wig that looked like a woman in my head. Stupid, confident me thought I could do this w/​o a picture. I come back the next day w/​a picture of my coworker, who just recently had changed her hairstyle and color. Kim found me the perfect wig and she also cut and styled it for me to look just like the picture! She does it all. She told me what I could do and not do to my wig. We chatted a bit too. Very sweet person. She is the type of person you wish you could find in every store you walk into — knowledgeable, kind, and considerate. She wasn’t trying to sell me a wig, she was understanding my situation and going through it w/​me and helping me through it as best as she could.
She makes you want to have another reason to come get a wig.
