Dear Customer and Friends,

The quality house of Noriko has just released 5 important new styles for Fall 2000, and they are now in stock. These are really great styles, because there is something unique and different about each of them. So once again, we are going to do an in depth comparison report on these new wigs, so you can appreciate the difference in these five worth-trying wigs. That slightly new look for Fall? It could be here right now!

Tess (new style) - - - - - - Chana (existing style)

Tess $98.00Chana $99.50
Both are basic bobs with similar lengths. But the new Tess is parted differently (slightly off-center). Most importantly, it can easily be loosened up for this tousled and natural look. When you get the wig, you reach into the cap and grab on, then vigorously twist left and right, like you are juicing an orange. After that you place it on and do some light arranging with a pick, or your fingers. The result is a tousled bob. There's never been anything like this before, and it's a bit for the daring of heart.

The hair in Tess has been specially razor-thinned to get this desired effect without going to a stylist. It's a breeze. And though Chana has been our most popular bob for 2 years, we think Tess is going to be taking over some of that territory real soon. *S* Tess is highly recommended for those who like bob styles and want that active image, rather than a picture perfect look. It's fresh, new, and available right now in all the beautiful Noriko colors. View at the site by clicking on Tess, or order by email and just tell us what you want.

Robin 2001 (new style) - Angel (existing style)

Robin 2001 $98.80Angelica

It's easy to see, the little whisper of a bang on the new Robin 2001 style makes all the difference in the world in it's natural look. But what is not so easy to see is the new light weight of this wig, (4.2 oz.) 30% lighter than the previous Angel style. Robin 2001 is not bulky at the tips either. It's the razor-thinning that effects this transformation. Amazingly comfortable, Robin even feels to-the-touch more natural, like real hair. If you can handle the 25" length or you have been getting long styles, consider making Robin 2001 your next long page-style wig.

Chloe (new style) - - - - - - Florence (existing style)

Chloe $88.00Florence
The same improvement in the bang treatment of the long styles, has been done for you here in this hi-fashion European bob-style. Chloe is also 25% lighter than Florence, and you might want to consider this if you have been happy with the Noriko Megan as well. Chloe is shaping up to be a great new short bob, as long as you can handle a bit of high-fashion styling. Even though Chloe is short, she is not-conservative in her cut: very European.

Roxie (new style) - - - - - - Chelsea (existing style)


Roxie $95.00Chelsea

The existing style Chelsea has absolutely no bang hair, though the picture seems to show some. This is sometimes appreciated, but often it misses them mark. The Roxie has that whisper bang that we have been talking about in all the above models, making it more versatile, appealing to a wider audience, and it is lighter than the Chelsea as well. Also, Roxie is available in a full color palette, and the Chelsea is still rather thin on color selection. So, going forward, we are going to be suggesting more of Roxie, for those who like long curly styles.

Candi (new style) - - - - - - Monica (existing style)


Candi $88.00Monica A little longer in the back, a little thinner in the bang area, makes Candi a delicious new Noriko style. It angles off the face nicely, so if you have a smallish face size, Candi will work very nicely, as it does not cover the face like some bobs do. We've had a Henry Margu wig called Yasmin running for 10 years now, and up until now, no other wig maker quite had the idea. But Candi is it! We have a feeling this style is going to be around for a long time.

Important new Noriko color information

Most of Noriko's previous styles are now being made in the new 2001 colors which is a much wider color palette than before. More color choices is great news for those who have been happy with Noriko wigs but just want a little change. Be sure to see the Noriko color chart to view the full Noriko 2001 color palette.

Have we lost you for price?

One of our customers recently forwarded me one of our competitor's recent emails. It was entitled "5% additional discount on all wigs." Naturally, it concerned me, and even more so because, about the same time I received notification from all the wig makers that wig prices are going up 5-10% in the very near future. It is probably related to this oil thing that's going on. To me, it seems unavoidable that some inflation is going to be something to deal with this winter.

Anyway, I went to the competitor's site (ACE), and what they had failed to mention in the email was this: they had completely pulled out their exchange and return policy! They stated that for health code reasons, they would not take back or even exchange wigs for any reason!

There's always a catch! But this is one way you don't want to get caught. What good is a discount on a product , if it does not work for you?

When we started the online part of our wig business ( and we did create of the first, and certainly the first truly complete wig site) friends told me this would not work with wigs because folks are going to have a need to occasionally exchange wigs for color or style. I went one better, and offered a truly workable exchange and refund policy within certain guidelines that we , as suppliers of new and high quality wigs, could live with as well. And even though we could also lower prices a tad if we knew for certain that all sales were going to be final, we still do not consider doing this for a few very good reasons.

So what to do?

It took a me a few days to come up with the best answer I could think. Rather than make these bold "match any price claims", then compare and evaluate prices, policies and shipping costs from dozens of companies and their impact on the final cost of goods, we're going to put out the best price that we can afford to sell our products at to begin with, and we are going to keep our existing return/exchange policies.

And then, I'm going to ask our existing clients this question:

Have we lost you for a better price on a specific wig that you know you like, and are buying regularly? If we have, then please let us know about it right now! Email me at info@wigsalon.com with the name, color and price of the wig you are buying, and the name of the reputable dealer who is selling it to you. Put that in an email to us right now and we will not only make this your price for this wig, but we will ship them to you for free from now on. ( priority Mail in the US, price adjustment for overseas clients ).

And your email alone will NOT constitute an order, unless you ask for it to be an order. So specify. When you do order, this will become your price for that wig, and with free shipping. Kindly email us with or right after your order and direct us to look you up on the "free shipping" list.

We just want to do our best, to supply you with quality wigs and pieces. And yes, we have to keep up with the times, so we are doing it!

Wishing all a happy and meaningful Fall 2000 - and that 2000 number just flew on by!
