Sheitels and cuts:
If you were buying a new Sheitel, where would you go for the Sheitel and the cut, in Brooklyn?
Which places can you get a good deal (good quality, good customer service and reasonable)?

May 15, 2011 1:44 pm at 1:44 pm #910756OfcourseMemberThanks, the more info I get, the better. Im looking for a new place to buy/cut. The last Sheitel bought I had problems with. Im looking to switch. I appreciate it.
Raizy Klein – (718) 232-1212 (I never heard of her, does she sell and cut?)
Pessy Mayerson (I heard of her, I think she sells and cuts)
Naomi (I used to use her, she’s very good)

Im considering trying Tori because I hear theyre no pressure, if you dont like it, you’re not obligated. Is that true about Tori? Is that true about anyone else?
Thanks again.
May 15, 2011 5:51 pm at 5:51 pm #910757SGoldMemberYes. They all cut & sell.
May 15, 2011 7:33 pm at 7:33 pm #910758aries2756ParticipantOver the years I’ve found it really is a personal preference like doctors. One person will have an excellent experience while another will have a horror story. It is best to ask your own family and good friends who know you best.
May 23, 2011 5:08 pm at 5:08 pm #910759OfcourseMemberWho cuts well at Fortune Wigs (owned by Esther Tobias)?
May 23, 2011 6:05 pm at 6:05 pm #910760adorableParticipantare you only talking about bp? what about shifra perkowski?
June 1, 2011 5:44 pm at 5:44 pm #910761OfcourseMemberIve asked around and many tell me they’ve heard a lot about Raizy Klein.
QUESTION:
Does she cut the sheitel into the style you want or insist/convince the customer that she knows better?
Many successful, sought after Sheitelmachers love to tell their customers that they’ll be happier doing it differently than what theyre asking for, and many times people kill their wigs when they listen.
TIA!
July 11, 2011 1:15 pm at 1:15 pm #910762OfcourseMemberIm thinking of buying at Clary and I need someone who cuts sheitels not bought by them for a not outrageous price.
Anyone have opinions on Tony and her niece (forgot her name)? Telephone numbers?
July 11, 2011 2:35 pm at 2:35 pm #910763A Woman Outside BrooklynParticipantYears ago I bought a piece from Mendel Press. Is she still around and how does her selection and quality compare with the women you listed above? I still have that piece, recently cut it down to be a hat fall since the hair was fine, I just didn’t like the style of the front anymore, as it was dated.
July 11, 2011 2:52 pm at 2:52 pm #910764smartcookieMemberI cut a wig by Karym( 14and 59) and was quite happy. I know others who are satisfied with her work too. I lost her phine # though!
July 11, 2011 3:09 pm at 3:09 pm #910765VanillaMemberKarym’s number is 718.851.6915. Good Luck!
July 11, 2011 9:01 pm at 9:01 pm #910766adorableParticipantdini in monsey is amazing. I have a friend whos coming in from Brooklyn to get one (buy and cut) by her. shes amazing.
July 12, 2011 2:41 am at 2:41 am #910767Miss L. AneousMemberadorable – Shifra is great! Her cut… her patience… everything about her, especially for a kallah – she really gives her time.
July 12, 2011 3:39 am at 3:39 am #910768commonsenseParticipantof, do you mean Toni and her sister Maria? I use Maria and she is a doll! She will do whatever you want. She does not have a store front so you need to call her to pick up your wig and then she does it in your house.
July 12, 2011 5:37 am at 5:37 am #910769OfcourseMemberHow do Tony and all her relatives (herself, sister and niece) compare? How do they rate as far as popularity?
July 12, 2011 2:07 pm at 2:07 pm #910770adorableParticipantMiss- when did I mention Shifra? are you talking about shifra perkowsky?
July 18, 2011 2:43 pm at 2:43 pm #910771OfcourseMemberWhich good Sheitelmachers are in the city during the summer, who cut wigs not bought by them? Please provide tel number.
July 18, 2011 4:53 pm at 4:53 pm #910772mommamia22ParticipantGloria (haircutter) at Claire accihair is a very good hairdresser. She cuts hair professionally in a salon, and will cut a wig from anywhere for you.
Does anyone know anything about the shaitels at Esther Aron( Brooklyn) or Yali’s in cedarhurst?
July 18, 2011 6:20 pm at 6:20 pm #910773just meParticipantI just got a new wig from Claire Accuhair. They have something new that is less expensive. Gloria cut it for me. I am getting so many compliments. I didn’t know what I wanted and she was so patiant. She does cut wigs bought elsewhere. I think they are on vacation now. 718-998-6043
July 18, 2011 6:32 pm at 6:32 pm #910774OfcourseMembermom, thanks for trying, but I cant go to Claire, bec I went and didnt buy there. Also, I never heard of Gloria. Is she new?
July 18, 2011 6:52 pm at 6:52 pm #910775fix-it-upMemberi think this is rude to publicly post-wut if you exclude someone from the “Top names” list and a, she sees this and gets hurt or b, she looses business over it. Careful ppl!
July 18, 2011 6:54 pm at 6:54 pm #910776mommamia22ParticipantGloria has been there for years. She works in a salon in long island (John Louis David).

July 18, 2011 8:32 pm at 8:32 pm #910778mommamia22ParticipantFix it up
I do agree with you, however recommending someone isn’t saying someone else is bad. I think it’s ok to say if someone did a good job. Maybe I shouldn’t have asked about specific people. I named those I heard good things about (which does not indicate that those not mentioned are bad/ just unfamiliar to the writer, as yet).
December 18, 2011 9:32 am at 9:32 am #910779babygooseParticipantPerri Israel is unbelievable, though good luck with getting an appointment.
iv’e never seen a bigger meivin then her.
i bought and cut by karym – she’s great but very cutious with cutting – affraid of making a mistake. i wouldn’t mind some confidence….
July 18, 2012 4:22 pm at 4:22 pm #910780RsozMemberHow do we know that those touting certain shaitelmachers here (like Claire’s) aren’t The shAitelmacher the self trying to get herself customers?.?
July 19, 2012 2:23 am at 2:23 am #910781mommamia22ParticipantRosz
Good question.
It’s a matter of trust. I also think it’s wise after hearing of someone of interest to ask around amongst friends to be sure you’re receiving reliable information.
The truth is it’s all a matter of personal opinion.
July 19, 2012 2:51 am at 2:51 am #910782RebRYMemberIf you are going to cut your sheitel you should cut it short like the chassidish shaitelech instead of the long litvish shaitelech.
July 19, 2012 1:23 pm at 1:23 pm #910783mommamia22ParticipantReb
Are you also going to tell her how long to hem her skirts, or the color stockings (or #denier/thickness) to buy, or how much makeup to put on (if at all)? Perhaps we should leave these choices of lifestyle to the person living with them.
July 19, 2012 7:34 pm at 7:34 pm #910784RebRYMemberThe long shaitelech are not tzniusdik. unfortanly a lot of people wear skirts that are not long enough. my wife had asked me if there is a shita that holds that the skirts don’t need to cover the knee when sitting down because she see so many women that have such skirts and I told her not that I know of but just because they do it does not mean it is right. with the stockings the litvish hold of a different shita that holds you don’t need to wear them so i can’t complain about that.
July 19, 2012 9:47 pm at 9:47 pm #910785Sam2ParticipantRebRY: And who made you the determining factor in what’s Tznius or not? Halachah says that a woman’s hair needs to be covered. It might be a long Shietel, but it’s covered.
(As an aside, if the person is wearing stockings then there might be room to say that the knee wouldn’t need to be covered at all times, but that’s getting into very questionable territory.)
July 19, 2012 10:04 pm at 10:04 pm #910786golferParticipantRebRY- You wrote “my wife”!
You are a man?
Surprised to find you here, on sheitel thread.
July 19, 2012 10:13 pm at 10:13 pm #910787mommamia22ParticipantYour mistaken belief is that you can influence a stranger and that you believe you know what’s right without even knowing her.
There are women who wouldn’t even cover their hair if they couldn’t wear the shaitel the way they like. Rabbanim take this into consideration when answering questions related to this.
You’re obviously not involved in Kiruv or you wouldn’t write (or think) like this).
December 5, 2012 6:21 pm at 6:21 pm #910788BustercrownParticipantMost honest shAitelmacher ever is Aziza wigs in Boro park, her name is Suri.
