DOV Salon & Wigs

05/06/2008 Posted by BB1000

I recently had breast cancer and dealt with the hair loss that was a side effect of my chemotherapy. I found Dov through a website search. I was impressed with all the positive feedback, and now I understand for myself. Dov is a one in a million person -- very talented, compassionate and funny -- and unbelievable patient with me when I was at my nuttiest. I had no experience with wigs, and I learned working with wigs requires special skill. Dov has the gift. Listen to what he tells you -- don't second guess him. I am happy to report that I am no longer wearing my wig and Dov gave me my first haircut!

I am not one to write reviews online, but I have to add my two cents here. Dov is truly, truly a master of what he does. I have thinning hair on the crown of my head, and went to Dov after reading all of the testimonies here and seeing his website to have something made. Really, he is as amazing as everyone here says he is. I was intimidated at the thought of going to a swanky salon but Dov is a warm, caring, sincere person and made me feel completely comfortable. The piece he created for me literally is indistinguishable from my real hair - the texture, color and curl is literally an exact match! All of my friends just think I "lost weight" or got my "hair done". I went into an audition with it and someone thought I was about 10 years younger than my real age. I wear it everyday now. It is not a wig, it is just a piece that literally clips into the hair that I have. Once it is on I forget that I am even wearing it!! Not only is Dov's work AMAZING (seriously, folks) but at the time I was at the salon, I saw the cut and coloring jobs he had done for other clients, and they walked out of the salon looking gorgeous. He was very attentive to everyone and absolutely meticulous in his care and his work. I will go to him for other pieces in the future and also for my regular haircuts from now on!

When I was diagnosed with cancer and realized I would lose my hair during chemotherapy ... I could not imagine going out bald. Dov came highly recommended and sure enough he delivered and then some. My wig looks exactly like my hair, so much so that I ran into someone I know well and they had no idea I was wearing a wig. Dov is an incredibly compassionate man, which during an emotional time such as this is priceless.

The last thing a cancer patient needs is a negative self-image. My hair is an important part of that self-image and when chemo made it fall out, so did my morale. "Dov Salon" was recommended to me by my oncologist and I'm not sorry that I followed her advice. From the moment I walked into the shop I was pampered and treated with sensitivity and respect. Dov certainly understands what's going on and he is also wonderful at what he does. In minutes he picked out a wig that suited me very well. It was the same color and texture as my own hair. I came back about a week later after he had made some special adjustments and I left as a very satisfied customer. I would not hesitate to recommend "Dov Salon" to anyone be they on chemo or not.

Pros: Understands the special needs of women on chemo!

Cons: none

I spent a lot of time researching wigs online, and I was so impressed by Dov's rave reviews that I made an appointment for a consultation. And I found that all the reviews were absolutely true. Dov is a warm, kind person, and makes you feel comfortable right away. He's very straightforward, too, so you feel confident that he's giving you an honest opinion of what looks good on you. And no pressure to decide--he let me wander around with the sample hairpiece on for as long as I needed to make up my mind. He persuaded me to try a slightly darker color than usual, and he was right. No one, including my family, guessed that it was a hairpiece. Everyone just asked if I had gotten a new haircut. (One person asked if I had lost weight on a new diet!) The best of all was when I went to my old salon to have my roots done and I walked in wearing the hairpiece. All the stylists said Hi, and told me how good I looked, but when I sat down and took off the hairpiece, their jaws dropped. It just looked so natural that they hadn't guessed. At the beginning of the process, when I was trying to make up my mind about whether I would be comfortable in a wig, Dov said, "Don't worry, you'll love this so much, you'll be back for another one." I thought he was crazy, but now I can see that there will definitely be another Dov wig in my future.

Pros: Beautiful natural hairpieces, great service.

Cons: None.

I flew to New York for an appointment with Dov. His warm personality and phenomenal talent made it a delightful experience for a cancer patient. The transition from my own hair to the wig was seemless. It looked so real! Ever since I started wearing the wig, I get daily compliments. What a miracle worker - how Dov can transform a dreadful experience to a wonderful one.

I went to Dov Salon today because my hair was thinning and I was concerned I may need a hairpiece or some kind of topper., but I also had an appointment for color and a hair cut. First, let me say, Dov, is just a lovely, kind, man, he and his staff made me feel comfortable immediately. The salon itself is wonderfully decorated and a very relaxing space in itself. After looking at my hair Dov, told me I didn't need a hairpiece and he could do something with my hair to enhance the color and hide my thinning. So, I let him get to work! He lightened my eyebrows a bit, changed my color slightly and gave me an entire new look! I LOVED it, my hair hasn't looked this full and beautiful since I was a teenager! I highly recommend Dov Salon, he is a true artist and a wonderful soul! Thank you, Dov...See you again soon! Joan S

Pros: Relaxing quiet salon. Felt as if I was his only client!

Cons: non

I lost my hair from chemotherapy, and am thrilled to share that the custom-made wig that I got at Dov Salon is nicer than my natural hair ever was, is, or will be! The hair is silky smooth, beautifully cut and perfectly colored. I have received many compliments on my "new hairdo" and have recommended Dov Salon several times.

Dov is an artist with compassion, confidence and soul. He immediately assauged my wig phobias and created a wig that is so beautifully styled and precisely colored I wish it was my own natural hair. I was so comfortable in his care and knew that his creation would help me feel like I was still me as I battle cancer and fight to keep my appearance as normal as possible. I'm no longer afraid of what will happen and know that I have the best possible solution to still look like me when I see my reflection in the mirror.

I am losing my hair from chemotherapy treatments and read about what great and natural looking wigs that Dov made and decided to go to see him. What I found there was a wonderful, caring compassionate person. He understood how as a woman, losing your hair can be such a painful process. After he put the wig on me I could not believe how incredible it looked and felt. People told me it was the best haircut I ever got, and on the plus side, it will never grow out. Dov is truly a great artist besides being such a kind person. I had tried synthetic wigs and I just couldn't wear them because of how unnatural they looked and how uncomfortable they felt. It is such a nice change to have people looking at me because my hair looks good and not because they feel sorry for what I am going through.
