In this episode, Lindsey sits down with Monique Gaffney aka Snatchin Wigz. She met Monique through her work with Broadway.com at a time when Lindsey was rapidly losing her hair and was floored by her insight about wigs. Monique has lent her hair and makeup talents to theater, TV and film, working on everything from Wicked, Tina: The Tina Turner Musical to Saturday Night Live and so much more. She even created the first wig Lindsey purchased for herself as an adult. Today, she’s addressing everything someone searching for a wig–be it their first or their 15th–might want to consider, including the WHY for the wear, synthetic vs. human hair, maintenance, security, storage do’s and don’ts and even candid price point truths. Monique even gave some great advice for those who might be supporting people looking to make a wig purchase, be it a parent, a boyfriend or a best friend.
