"We went to the salon today and Mark had some options for her to try and talked through the process very knowledgeably. He was professional and friendly.

"My sister tried a couple of options and, having purchased a wig, came away looking and feeling so much more confident and comfortable than she did when she arrived."

"I started losing my hair at the top crown and front sides about 18 months ago, I started with a very small 2.5 x 3.5-inch clip in human hair topper to start with. As my loss was slowly getting larger it was becoming very painful to clip in. I decided to go for a bigger human hair topper with a bigger under cap, so the cap would clip onto the stronger hair.

"I purchased an 18-inch long Remy human hair topper, the base size was 7.5 x 7.5 inches. All toppers can look natural if you get a good colour match and you pick the correct density for what your needs are.

"What you need above all things, the most important thing is a decent stylist to transform your piece. I was completely clueless. These pieces can cost a lot of money and it needs to be done right, a bad cut will ruin it and your money is wasted, you could be left feeling deflated. It’s a big and brave decision to accept your hair loss and I found Mark online, he’s very local to me and we had a chat by messenger and phone. It’s not like you clip the piece on your head and get it cut. Mark explained that there’s a lot of work to do. I called into Mark’s salon with the hairpiece and Mark explained in great detail what he does. He patiently went through the layers 1 cm at a time and blades the hair to different lengths, this is done to ensure that the hair moves like normal hair does. Mark explained the hair on our head is at different stages of growth due to natural daily shedding. The piece I had was all the same length, 18 inches long, like Morticia Adams. It needed work.

"Mark prepped my topper in advance and I went for the fit. Mark patiently and meticulously trimmed and blended the topper to the length and style I wanted. It wasn’t a quick process, it was done with patience and care. Mark was very focused on ensuring he created the style I wanted, explaining all that he was doing and ensuring I was happy. I’m not just happy, I’m ecstatic! I’m delighted, I’m blown away... I was confident it would look nice, but it’s so much better than nice. I’m transformed, WOW.. you’d never know this wasn’t all my hair. It feels, looks, swishes and sways like a normal person’s hair. I feel transformed, my hair makeover is just amazing. I’m beaming with delight. I really am. Mark put me at ease from the first contact. I deliberated in going to my regular salon, which I’m happy with. Mark is a wig and hair loss specialist, he knows his stuff, he’s experience and knowledge is vastly superior, this is why I decided to go to Mark with my topper. Mark is a master at his job. He’s skilled and trusted, he’s a master at making people happy! I’d a million percent recommend Mark for his amazing work skills, without hesitation. He’s a wonderful kind, happy man, I’m very grateful. He’s changed my life! I’ll always use Mark now for any toppers and wigs."

"I got in touch with Mark because my hair was coming out and I needed advice on buying a wig. After a phone conversation with him he really put my mind at ease, asked me to send him some photographs of before and after my hair loss so he could find the best ones to match my hair colour and head shape and see how I normally style my hair.

"Had a face to face appointment with him a week later where he had several wigs for me to try, all of them were so good and exactly what I wanted that it was hard to choose.

"With his excellent help and advice we finally decided one, Mark even trimmed and styled it exactly they way I wanted, felt on top of the world when I left the salon, all my confidence restored and ready to face the world again.

"Cannot praise and recommend him enough, will definitely go back to him again if I ever need another wig just so happy with the whole experience."

Margaret

"Never had to wear a wig before and was dreading the whole thing, knocked my confidence massively and didn’t have much hope of finding the right piece, that was until I met Mark. I felt so looked after and he made me feel like getting me sorted was his priority. I can't believe how perfect the match is, he made the whole process a lot less stressful and I am super happy with the outcome. Definitely recommend him and can’t thank him enough!!!"

Bonita, Durham

"During a consultation with Mark he put me at ease with his amiable approach. Together we choose the most suitable style and colour for the wig. I had the wig expertly fitted and given advice on how to care for it. A couple of weeks later I made another appointment for a slight readjustment and left the salon extremely satisfied. I would have no hesitation in the future in contacting Mark or recommending him to other people."

J, Co Durham

"Last week I took my friend to see Mark and although she has been wearing a wig for some years, she was feeling a little apprehensive since this was to be her first visit with a new supplier (her previous one having closed temporarily). I can only speak as I find, Mark made us both feel very comfortable and although professional, he was very friendly and gave an honest unbiased opinion on the wigs tried and all without obligation. My friend chose a beautiful wig and we all agreed how good and natural it looked. I'm sure without a doubt my friend will be back again - thank you Mark."

Dianne

"I would like to thank mark for his care and attention iin supplying me with my hair piece. He was professional throughout while still being friendly to put me at ease. Highly recommended."

Susan, Durham

"I’ve been going to mark for the last few haircuts and can honestly say he’s a magician. Gets it spot on. Pleasant friendly and warm service. 10/10 would recommend."

J. Neasham, Durham

"I went to Mark to help me choose a wig, it was a really stressful time for me, but I needn't have worried, I love my new wig and would definitely recommend Mark."
