Testimonials
I would highly recommend Katie to anyone dealing with hair loss. She makes the whole process of choosing and buying a wig easy and dignified. She is highly skilled at what she does and manages the whole process with sensitivity and professionalism. I didn’t know where to even begin and Katie guided me through finding 2 wigs that really worked for me. I visited her private salon space with a friend and we had quite a fun morning trying on options that she had ordered in specially, based on our previous video call. I was so pleasantly surprised by the quality of the wigs and how closely she was able to match my real hair – to the point that in a photo you couldn’t tell the difference. All in all, a great service that helped me manage something that could have been quite traumatic, but turned out to be very pleasant.
Thank you for being so lovely and caring.

I had an appointment with Katie last Wednesday for a new wig fitting. The one that I have worn for years have now been discontinued so I thought it was time for a new style and colour. Katie could not have been more understanding and gave me really good and encouraging advice. I would have never have chosen the wig I ended up with without her tireless help. I can only say a huge thank you for her patience and great advice for what is quite a difficult, personal and emotional choice experience. I was so impressed with her manner and understanding – so thank you Katie!
Having taken some time to come to terms with my hair loss due to Alopecia I contacted Katie and she understood how I felt and I immediately knew I was in safe hands. After a face to face meeting (‘Discovery Hour’) and having chosen my wig I am now looking at a new me. Style, colour is so me before the hair loss. I can recommend Katie, she treated me with understanding and kindness, many thanks Katie!
Excellent service! Katie was very helpful and informative along the way trying to accommodate every request my mother in law had. It worked as she bought one and feels amazing! Thank you!
I would recommend Katie Dear to anyone who has never had anything to do with wigs before. When I started losing my hair with Chemotherapy I did not realise how much it would affect me (I thought that would be the least of my worries). Katie has helped me to find the right wig in the the right style. Even some of my family say it looks so natural that they ask if it really is a wig! It was so good to learn how to put it on properly and care for it. Having the time one to one in such a relaxed atmosphere put me at ease.
Thank you so much Katie.
I had a consultation with Katie via face time. She was very thorough, thoughtful and empathetic. I felt totally at ease and confident she could help me. I also sensed integrity and passion which helped me to feel she would only do something if it was in my own interests. When the appointment came to try on several chosen wigs it was very private – just the two of us. The journey has just started and I’m enjoying being a novice wig wearer!
Thank you for putting me at ease during our wig consultation at The Manor. To be told I might lose my hair during treatment has triggered not only my anxieties, but more so of my self confidence. I am truly grateful to you for showing/explaining all the options that otherwise I will not be aware of. Thank you for such a rewarding job that you do.x
Just been for my first wig consultation and I am so pleased with the service. Katie was very attentive and took the time to make me feel at ease before discussing my wig preferences. A great range of products discussed and tried on and I now fully understand the different types of wigs and have many ideas about the vest fixing products. Set in a beautiful location at Binswood Hall with friendly staff I will be visiting again soon. This is a much needed provision for hair loss sufferers and offers a safe and private salon for your consultation.
I fully recommend you contact Katie who has a wealth of experience and knowledge in this industry. This coupled with her undeniable passion for this industry makes for a great all round experience.

When suffering from hair loss, the decision to look at wearing a wig is momentous. I contacted Katie and immediately felt I was in safe hands. A telephone consultation followed by a face to face wig selection, I left feeling more confident and courageous in revealing the new me. I also knew that I could contact Katie with any teething problems. I would highly recommend Katie. She treats you with kindness and consideration as well as being a true professional. Thank you Katie!
From my initial telephone conversation with Katie I was impressed with her understanding of my problem following extensive hair loss due to Sepsis. At my consultation she was an absolute delight, immediately putting me at ease and really does understand how overwhelming/difficult it is to be choosing a wig for the first time.
Eventually found someone who truly understands hair thinning, hair loss and brilliant solutions!
Thank you Katie! Amazing personalised service this morning.
Excellent efficient service from Katie, the wig she found for me is a great match to my actual hair and nothing was too much trouble for her. Highly recommended.
I had stressed about my hair for some time when I contacted Katie. From the very first time we spoke, she was nothing but understanding and reassuring. I got my wig last Saturday and it’s made such a difference to me. Katie is a lovely, friendly lady, and would assure all that you’ll be happy after visiting her.
What a real lovely, genuine lady Katie is. Never dreamed I would ever need to buy or wear a wig, but sometimes needs must and Katie was the most amazing person to help me through this experience. Matching style and colours to my original hair was not going to be easy, but together we found one that I loved. Katie worked her magic trimming the wig to my desired style. An absolute gem, who was caring and compassionate throughout, and I would recommend Katie to anyone who finds themselves in a similar position.
