Feature Story
I always try to be classy and as feminine as is possible, so finding the right wig is everything to me. Going out in the world is not easy and if you get it wrong can lead to ridicule or worse. So many trans people look for help and honest advice and either don’t know where to go for it, or just buy blindly from the internet which will nearly always lead to disappointment. I know my own style by now, but like all women sometimes crave a change of colour. With that in mind I visited Simply wigs, after booking an appointment to try on several colours of the style of wig I like.
‘I am not a drag queen or crossdresser so I have the need to keep it real‘
After booking and requesting the colours I would like to try, I arrived for my session. What an amazing experience it was! I took a friend for moral support but I should not have worried as the welcome was so warm, the advice was wonderful and there was no hard sell.
‘When I put my hair on, I become complete ‘
While I was there I met and saw the same fantastic care given to a lady who was on chemo. So it didn’t make a difference why you were there – just fantastic service. Getting the chance to get help, advice and reassurance means the world. I came away without buying, so to think and be sure of my decision. But I did quickly and the result was something stunningly bold, which has helped my confidence in a way I didn’t think would be possible! I commend and salute Simply wigs. I recommend anyone, but especially my trans sisters, to consider this amazing company. You will not be disappointed.

Thank you, beautiful Stella! I, too, am transgender. My own hair is basically grey and extremely thin, so I’ve just kept it super short and use wigs. I don’t feel complete either until my hair goes on. I am just used to wearing them and I appreciate the flexibility they give me with style and color.
Thank you for being you.
Thank you so much Stella, for taking the time to put this comment up.
I am feeling very confident in visiting Simply Wigs now, as thus far I refuse to impulse buy something of the internet, you have put my mind at ease by describing your very good experiences there.
I, just like the other people’s comments, totally relate to what you said, and hate the idea of being seen as either a “drag queen” or “crossdresser” as just like other trans-women, it does not feel like novelty acquiring our hair back, it enables us to feel normal.
Bless you
I have only just come across this nice post and as someone that has been trying to be the transgender woman for a long time I too can relate to this .
I at one point thought I had wrote parts of this myself as , I too am the same as you girl’s , Amy is not in the room until the wig go’s on .
I also have told people I am not a freak show or a drag queen I am a human being trying to be the woman I should of been from birth X .
I am also a transgender women, with being bold Helen doesn’t really appear until the wig goes on,it makes a massive difference getting the right style to match your face shape besides the confidence it gives you, so being able to try on in safe and welcoming environment means a lot, you provide a warm and wonderful space to try on, at last I have my appointment for my sex change operation on Saturday 28 August 2021 in London ?Xx
Thank you Stella – your story and experiences have given so much more confidence…
Well done Stella. I’m sure it has taken you a lot of courage to make these changes. You certainly look fabulous and I hope you feel fabulous too!
Nice article Stella – great to put out there help for others who don’t know where to turn
You look great Stella. Classy.
Great to read Stella’s story, sadly it’s the same sad story for a lot of older transgender males, as she pointed out it’s very hard to find the one that gives you confidence and most of all happiness, not always easy to visit harder to choose the correct wig.
