You don't have to travel for a wig! Visit my virtual studio for a consultation, purchase, and customization

Welcome. I’m thrilled you’re here!

My goal is to revolutionize your alternative hair shopping experience, combining the convenience of online browsing with the personal touch of a full-service salon. This is a whole fresh approach for wig and topper buying. I call this my “Virtual Studio” and you can join me there at your convenience! This way you will get a fully custom experience no matter how far you are from my Fort Collins, Colorado salon.

Whether it’s color customization, a cute cut, cap adjustments, or just a confidence boosting call, I’m dedicated to making your hairpiece-buying-journey stress-free and even enjoyable. This is going to be a great experience.

Until now, shopping for a wig or topper online could be confusing and even costly. After all, you don’t know what you don’t know. And it would be a mistake to just buy a wig or topper online and try to make it work on your own. You need an alternative hair expert to customize it for you–and help you select the right piece to begin with.

Whereas hair out of the box is ‘raw,’ alternative hair coming from the Sonder Virtual Salon is ‘refined’ and ‘reinvigorating.’ Does the wig or topper suit you? That’s what our work together will focus on.

I’m all about customization–and you should be too. That way you look better than you even imagined, and the outcome seems so natural, you’ll wonder why you didn’t go the alternative hair route long before.

Why choose Sonder Virtual Studio for your next hair piece’s customization?

Well, first off. I am a really nice, loving person. Besides that, you get the best of both worlds by visiting the Virtual Studio. You get the chance to buy a wig or topper online from the comfort of your home – AND you get it customized by a consummate hair professional. Plus, all the cutting and, if needed, thinning, of the hairpiece is included in the price – as is back and forth shipping costs until the final piece is delivered to you.

I Know - Hair Loss Is Discouraging. But We Can Compensate Beautifully!

Navigating hair loss can be emotionally taxing, sometimes leading to impulsive and ultimately disposable purchases. Drawing from my personal experience with hair loss, I understand the vulnerability and anxiety firsthand. A while back, I had lost 2/3rds of my hair when I went through a massive hormonal shift. So, I get it!

At the Sonder Virtual Studio, I offer a personal, private experience akin to visiting my salon. And I know alternative hair in depth and take its customization to a very high level. My 32 years working as a top end hairdresser in a very fashion-forward city will be at play when I customize your hairpiece. You’ll be involved in every step of the process, from my procuring your hairpiece to when I carefully refine it, with your input, back at my studio. Everything will make sense. Together, we’ll create the perfect solution tailored to your needs. I customize the chosen piece, so it fits your head, your face, your whole being. Your essence comes alive!

I’m ultra-selective about the brands I partner with, ensuring each one meets my high standards for quality and effectiveness in addressing hair loss. I have winnowed my brands down to just four. This curated selection reflects my commitment to delivering optimal results for every client. I partner with renowned brands like Ellen Wille, Jon Renau, Raquel Welch and Follea by Daniel Alain, to make certain that you have access to top-quality products, tailored to your needs. Each brand offers unique benefits, from luxurious human hair options to innovative synthetic fibers and exceptional color palettes. Here’s the low down on the four brands I enthusiastically, and exclusively, carry.

As your personal alternative hair stylist and mentor, I’ll guide you through every detail and all your questions—from synthetic vs. human hair to cap sizes, from the best lengths to buy, the best way to part your piece, the most versatility to be obtained and even to my providing fun styling tips. My whole motivation is to be sure your hairpiece complements your lifestyle and preferences and that the process is transparent. Know this: I fully expect you will have lots of questions. And I will answer them carefully and completely. I want you to be well informed about all your options. And it is going to be an uncommonly rewarding experience.

Whether we meet in person at my salon or in the Sonder Virtual Studio, our consultations are designed to personalize your experience from the outset. The feelings I’ll be going for in working with you are security, calmness, and feeling ultra-supported. I’m dedicated to personally understanding and meeting your unique needs and preferences. And I do it all with kindness, patience and optimism.

It’s All About YOU!

Building a relationship with you is crucial. I want to know about your lifestyle, hobbies, and preferences to create a hairpiece that enhances your life seamlessly. Whether you’re gardening, playing with children, having a date night out or attending a Pilates class, I’ll make sure your hairpiece is as versatile and resilient and ‘at the ready’ as you are.

I too have a life beyond hair. I have a passion for icy, icy cold Diet Coke, Mexican cuisine, sunny days, and all things botanical. I’m eager to learn about your interests and preferences as well—let’s create something beautiful together.

Working With Existing Hairpieces or Procuring Something New

Do you have an existing wig or two?

Well, whether you bring your synthetic or human hair wigs and toppers to me in the salon or you prefer to visit the Virtual Studio with them in tow to show me, our conversations will go to transforming your wigs or toppers into your best look yet.

Are you starting fresh with a new hairpiece?

Customization and personalization are at the heart of what I do. From providing education about different materials and constructions to providing ongoing support throughout your journey, I ensure you feel confident and empowered in your choice. Your hair investment deserves the best care possible and you deserve the very best look.

Let’s embark on this journey together and create the perfect solution for your hair loss needs. Here are the next steps towards getting an alternative hairpiece that fits you to a T.

Do you have naturally curly hair and would like your alternative hair piece to also be curly?

I love custom perming, curling and adding texture to alternative hair. And I am one of the few in the Country that can make straight wigs curly! Seriously, most alternative hairstylists aren’t inclined to transform a hairpiece for curl, whereas I happily perm wigs.

I find that curly hair seems to get a bit lost in translation in the alternative hair world. After all, It’s not easy to make a wig or topper have natural looking curl patterns that hold in place for some time. But how else to match your naturally curly hair underneath?

The best way to ultimately get that natural feel is through a custom alternative hairstylist. Like me! Get the best of both worlds. Have a straight hair wig that you can curl from time to time. It’s like having two wigs in one. Let me know if you would like to discuss the possibilities of wig curling or perming.

She REALLY did walk through every step of the process with me.

I met Audrey on Instagram. I loved her content and sweet personality. Over time I paid more attention to her content on coloring wigs. I’m fairly new at wearing alternative hair and it’s hard to know who to go to. But I just really loved her personality and knew I could trust her skills.
I reached out to her in a message and was so thrilled when she replied.

I’ve been wearing wigs for about a year now; I live in Alaska, and I can get a lot of manufacturers to ship me a wig, the problem is there’s really no one to customize them. I spoke with Audrey and told her what I was looking for and the pieces that I had already been wearing – it was so reassuring that she was familiar with my pieces! We talked a little further, and decided to do colorization. She REALLY did walk through every step of the process with me so I could make every decision on the coloring specifications; but I really didn’t have to make any actual decisions because she was spot on! In the future I absolutely will have all my pieces done by Audrey. Every time I talk to her it’s like talking to a friend.

I’m not really open about wearing wigs so I am not going to post a photo of myself. Audrey's work really is that good that people don’t know! So here is a picture of Audrey wearing my piece just before she shipped it to me.
