Finding the Perfect Wig With Peggy

Choosing a wig at Peggy’s Wigs & Styling Salon is a personal experience, not just a purchase. Each client receives a private one-on-one consultation, where Peggy uses her 40+ years of expertise to help you select the right style based on your personal features such as skin tone, undertones, eye color, and personal preferences.

You are welcome to try on as many wigs as you like until you find the perfect match. Once selected, Peggy cuts and customizes the wig to suit the individual’s face shape and style. Every wig purchased also includes free shampoo and conditioning services for the life of the wig, keeping it fresh and natural-looking.

For those seeking something truly unique, Peggy also offers custom wig builds — combining pieces from multiple wigs into a one-of-a-kind creation.

Why Hair Toppers Are for Everyone

Toppers are a great solution for women with thinning hair or those who just want a little extra volume and coverage at the crown. At Peggy’s Wigs & Styling Salon, toppers are carefully fitted and blended to match your natural hair, creating a seamless, natural look.

They’re not just for hair loss — toppers are also perfect for adding lift, fullness, or highlights without committing to permanent color or extensions. Each topper is customized for your face shape, style, and lifestyle so it feels like your own hair.

One of the best parts about toppers is how easy and quick they are to use. With just a few clips, a topper can be installed in minutes — no complicated process, no long appointments, and no damage to your natural hair.

At Peggy’s Wigs & Styling Salon, you’ll receive a personalized one-on-one fitting. Peggy will walk you through the entire process step by step, making sure you feel comfortable and confident. Before you leave the salon, you’ll know exactly how to put on, adjust, and care for your topper on your own.

Peggy’s goal is to make sure every woman feels empowered with her new look — whether that means discreet coverage for thinning hair or a little extra volume for a special night out.

Supporting Cancer Patients with Free Wig Care

Hair loss from chemotherapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. Peggy partners with local hospitals — including Blessing Hospital, Quincy Medical Group, and Hannibal Regional Hospital — to support women navigating this challenging part of their cancer journey.

If you’ve received a free wig through your cancer center, Peggy will cut, style, shampoo, and condition it at no cost for the entire life of the wig. All you need to do is bring it in. Peggy takes care of the rest, ensuring that your wig looks natural, feels comfortable, and helps you feel like yourself again.

With over 40 years of experience in the beauty industry and her own personal journey through hair loss, Peggy knows how deeply connected hair is to identity and confidence. Her goal is simple: when you leave her salon, you leave smiling, supported, and beautiful.

This program is Peggy’s way of giving back to the community that she has been a part of for decades. She believes every woman deserves dignity, comfort, and beauty during treatment — and she is honored to walk alongside you on that path.

The Do’s & Don’ts of Wig Care

Don’t Let This Happen to Your Wig!

Wigs are an investment — in your confidence, your look, and your everyday comfort. But just like natural hair, they need proper care and maintenance. Unfortunately, many wigs get ruined when they’re taken to stylists who are not trained in wig cutting or care.

Take a look at this example (photo above): the choppy, uneven cut has left the wig almost unwearable. This is why it’s so important to trust your wig with a specialist who understands wig construction, fiber type, and proper styling techniques.

At Peggy’s, every wig — whether purchased through her salon or brought in from somewhere else — is treated with expertise and care. Peggy can repair, resize, re-fit, and refresh wigs so that they look and feel natural again.

Do’s & Don’ts of Wig Care

Do:

• Have your wig professionally fitted and cut. Wigs are not “one size fits all.” A proper fit makes it look natural and feel secure.

• Bring older wigs back to life. If your wig has lost its shine, feels dry, or isn’t fitting the way it used to, Peggy can reshape, condition, and adjust it.

• Seek expert repairs. Singed wigs from cigarettes, opening the oven door too close, or exposure to dry heat can often be repaired. Don’t throw it away — bring it in first.

• Keep it clean with proper products. Peggy shampoos and conditions wigs with salon-quality, wig-safe products to keep fibers soft and natural.

Don’t:

• Don’t use dish soap or fabric softener. Dawn and Downy may be household staples, but they will damage your wig fibers.

• Don’t overspray with hairspray. Too much product can weigh the wig down, dry it out, and shorten its lifespan.

• Don’t assume any stylist can cut wigs. Wig fibers behave differently than natural hair — it requires special tools and training.

• Don’t give up on an old wig. Even if it seems worn out, there’s often a lot that can be done to restore it.

Don’t let your wig become unwearable — let Peggy bring it back to life.
