Why not share us with your friends?

Please note that the shop will be CLOSED this Thursday (11th March). There will be NO dispatch on Thursday. Sorry for any inconvenience, we will be back to normal on Friday.

***Shoe Bags Update: our much-loved shoe bag has sadly been discontinued. We have a few in stock in Navy Blue with green embroidery but are unable to get any more black or royal blue ones. We hope to be able to replace the bag with a new style soon but do not yet have any details.***

Georgielocks' Wigs

Georgielocks recommends Celtic Creations wigs as the best you can buy. Their quality is second to none and they represent excellent value for money!

Always check your choice of wig with your teacher first - they may have a particular preference!

The following wigs are available in every colour from the chart (below) and have "memory curl & shine technology". This means they stay shiny and can be re-set many times. As soon as you notice a bit of frizz on a curl;

•  comb it out gently
• damp curl and wind around a bendy curler or someting similar. **do NOT use velcro rollers!!**
• when dry, carefully unravel the hair from the curler
• snip the VERY ends of the curl off to remove the remaining frizz
• voila! you'd never know there had been a frizzy curl!!

 Bun Wigs

Suitable for all ages, bun wigs are a popular choice for beginners, teams and the very littlest dancers. The hair is wound into a high bun and pinned with a few grips. The bun wig is placed over the hair and has a little comb inside to push into the base of the bun at he top for anchorage. The elastic drawstring is then pulled tight, ensuring all the dancer's real hair is tucked inside, and would around the base. Finally a few hairgrips or pins for added security and you are set to go!

 Alana

The Alana wig is suitable up to the age of 8 (a little older for very petite dancers). It is a full wig on a reduced cap for smaller heads! Neat ringlets, exactly the same as the Erin, just for smaller dancers!

 Erin

Neat ringlets on a full wig, suitable for dancers aged 9 and up. Natural length. Popular with teachers and figure teams. My daughters wear this wig!

 Aoife

Longer and looser ringlets than the Erin. Suitable for dancers aged 9 and up. An excellent choice for those needing more volume.

Putting the Full Wig on!

Most dancers will need their hair divided into three ponytails; one on the top of the head and inch or two behind the hairline, and the other two being about an inch back from the ears on either side of the head. (very thick hair may need 5 sections). If the dancer has very fine hair or requires more height, a "doughnut" can be added to the top section (email me if you would like one added to your order). If possible, wind each ponytail into a bun and secure with a few pins. I recommend putting the tiara or hairband on now, before the wig is placed as it helps keep it secure and prevents it from damaging the wig. The wig has a top and bottom so you need to make sure it is not put on upside down! The top has the circular shaped section inside the cap which looks like lace. The combs inside the wig need to be anchored into the base of the buns; first push the comb at the top into the base of the top bun, being careful not to dislodge the tiara. Then ease the wig over the bottom buns and anchor the comb into their base. Make any necessary adjustments to ensure the wig sits evenly and secure with a few hairgrips. I recommend having the dancer jump up and down a few times to make sure it doesn't feel loose anywhere!
