Introducing "Wigg It Out"

I'd like to take this opportunity in between Craft Shows to introduce you to our Talented Artists. The Craft Show is still going on, you can check it out anytime. =)

So what do you make?

I make custom wigs for people living with medical hair loss through my company, Wigg It Out.  I also make fashion hair accessories like fascinators and hairpins as well as hats, turbans, and head covers.  Some of the fun services I offer are hair extensions and hair feather installation.  I don’t make medical wigs exclusively, anyone who wants a spunky, custom and totally individualized wig is welcome!

How did you get started?

I got started after I was getting fed up with the wigs, hats and accessories available for people with medical hair loss.  I’ve had medical hair loss for over 7 years and I never really found wigs or head covers that fit my spunky and fun personality.  I had the great idea to fill that gap with great, handmade Canadian products and Wigg It Out was born!

How long have you been crafting?

I have been crafting since I was very young, I started out learning how to sew and moved onto making vests and stuffed animals.  I come from a very creative family and I grew up around arts and crafts.

Where does your inspiration come from?

I get my inspiration from different colours, textures and materials.  If I see a great fabric I instantly try to think of all of the different ways I can turn it into an accessory or a great hat.  With my wigs, talking to clients really helps me get an idea of what kind of beautiful custom creation to get working on.

Tell us something about yourself (something you don’t mind anyone knowing).

I have had all three types of alopecia over the last 7 years and I always remember the humbling and challenging experiences that brought me to where I am today.  I still have alopecia, and probably always will, but I will not let that stop me from being the vibrant and creative person that I am!

What else would you like to share?

Wigg It Out is a company that is very close to my heart and I always strive to provide the best for my clients.  Medical hair loss is a very personal experience and everyone deals with it differently.  Me, I decided to start something creative and empowering and it has been a great time since I launched.

What advice would you share to someone wanting to get started?

Just start!  It is very easy to get caught up in the planning phases of a crafting business but the best decision I ever made was to get started and take the steps to start selling.  Another huge one is to always be able to ask for help, your network is full of talented and caring people.  Let them help you achieve success.
