Everything you need to feel prepared.

Design by Flora is a wig store in Teaneck, New Jersey, but it works by appointment rather than as a walk-in shop. The showroom holds a large in-stock collection you are welcome to try on, and booking simply means the room and Flora are yours for the visit instead of shared with whoever else came through the door. Call (201) 833-4060 and you can often be seen the same week.

Yes. The Teaneck showroom carries a large in-stock selection of wigs, Illusion Falls, and toppers. Availability changes, so call ahead if you have a particular style in mind.

Pieces start at $1,000 and go up from there. What moves the price is the hair itself, the cap construction, the length, and whether you are buying from the in-stock collection or having one made for you. The first cut and style is included when you buy a piece here. Flora gives you a firm number at the consultation, once she has seen your hair and knows what the piece has to do.

Yes. The first cut and style is included with a Design by Flora wig purchase. Chemical services are separate.

With regular use, wash your wig about once a month or after approximately 20 full days of wear. Your routine may vary based on styling products, weather, and activity.

Eastern Europe. The hair is hand-selected virgin human hair, so nothing has been dyed, bleached, permed, or chemically processed before it reaches you. That is what lets it take color naturally and move like your own hair. Flora will tell you plainly where the hair in any particular piece came from. Questions about what your own practice requires belong with your rav.

Virgin hair is human hair that has not been dyed, bleached, permed, straightened, chemically treated, or otherwise processed.

An Illusion Fall is a hair-enhancement or replacement piece that can provide full or partial coverage without the weight of a full wig. It can also be worn farther back as a topper.

A topper is a partial piece that sits on top of the head and clips into the hair you still have, covering a widening part, thinning crown, or diffuse thinning while the rest of your hair stays out. A full wig covers the whole scalp and does not depend on your own hair. A topper needs enough hair around the sides and back to anchor to and blend with, so which one suits you comes down to how much hair is left and where.

Yes. Sheitel is the Yiddish word for the wig many married Orthodox Jewish women wear, and it describes the same piece. Design by Flora has worked from its Teaneck showroom since 2005 and the collection includes full sheitels, Illusion Falls, band falls, hat falls, and ponytail wigs, all in hand-selected European virgin human hair.

Sheitels, hair origin, and custom lead times →

A band fall is worn with a headband and a hat fall is worn with a hat, so a strip of your own hairline stays visible at the front while the piece supplies the length and fullness behind it. Both are lighter than a full sheitel and are popular for everyday wear.

Sometimes. Many plans exclude a "wig" as cosmetic yet cover the same piece when a physician prescribes it for medical hair loss and it is documented as a cranial prosthesis. Design by Flora does not bill insurers directly, but provides an itemized invoice worded for your claim. See the cranial prosthesis page for the codes and paperwork involved.

A custom order generally takes six to eight weeks. The showroom also carries a broad in-stock collection, so a suitable piece may already be available.

A typical consultation lasts between 15 and 30 minutes. More time may be needed depending on your goals and the services you are considering.
