HELPING CLIENTS THROUGH WHAT CAN BE A VERY HARD
TIME IN SOMEONES LIFE
Mandeville have been making wigs for all types of hair loss
for the past 50 years, so our specialist team fully understands
the trauma that any type of hair loss can cause. We see clients
coming to us from all over the world with various types of hair
loss ranging from Alopecia, female pattern baldness and from
the effects of chemotherapy, right through to scalp traumas
caused by serious head injuries or burns. In fact one of our
Director’s Jo, has had Alopecia herself for the last 25 years so
has first hand experience of what our clients are going through.
We are very proud of the caring service we offer and are here to
help and advise all our clients with empathy though this very
difficult time in their lives.
Consultations in our private London studio are complimentary
and we allow plenty of time to show and talk through the different
options available to solve their hair loss problem. We will also show
examples of our work along with photos so they can get a real
understanding of what we can do for them. We take time to listen
to their concerns and answer any questions they may have so they
can decide if they want to take things further and commission us to
make them a wig.
