    Sheitels and cuts:

    If you were buying a new Sheitel, where would you go for the Sheitel and the cut, in Brooklyn?

    Which places can you get a good deal (good quality, good customer service and reasonable)?

    Thanks, the more info I get, the better. Im looking for a new place to buy/cut. The last Sheitel bought I had problems with. Im looking to switch. I appreciate it.

    Raizy Klein - (718) 232-1212 (I never heard of her, does she sell and cut?)
    Pessy Mayerson (I heard of her, I think she sells and cuts)
    Naomi (I used to use her, she's very good)
    Toby Poll - (718) 431-2443 (does she sell and cut?)
    Perele Pretter - (718) 851-1310 (does she sell and cut?)
    Leah Rosenbaum - (347) 788-1944 (does she sell and cut?)

    Im considering trying Tori because I hear theyre no pressure, if you dont like it, you're not obligated. Is that true about Tori? Is that true about anyone else?

    Thanks again.

    Smartness runs in my family.

    Over the years I've found it really is a personal preference like doctors. One person will have an excellent experience while another will have a horror story. It is best to ask your own family and good friends who know you best.

    Ive asked around and many tell me they've heard a lot about Raizy Klein.

    QUESTION:

    Does she cut the sheitel into the style you want or insist/convince the customer that she knows better?

    Many successful, sought after Sheitelmachers love to tell their customers that they'll be happier doing it differently than what theyre asking for, and many times people kill their wigs when they listen.

    TIA!

    Im thinking of buying at Clary and I need someone who cuts sheitels not bought by them for a not outrageous price.

    Anyone have opinions on Tony and her niece (forgot her name)? Telephone numbers?

    Years ago I bought a piece from Mendel Press. Is she still around and how does her selection and quality compare with the women you listed above? I still have that piece, recently cut it down to be a hat fall since the hair was fine, I just didn't like the style of the front anymore, as it was dated.

    adorable - Shifra is great! Her cut... her patience... everything about her, especially for a kallah - she really gives her time.

    not so common

    of, do you mean Toni and her sister Maria? I use Maria and she is a doll! She will do whatever you want. She does not have a store front so you need to call her to pick up your wig and then she does it in your house.

    How do Tony and all her relatives (herself, sister and niece) compare? How do they rate as far as popularity?

    i think this is rude to publicly post-wut if you exclude someone from the "Top names" list and a, she sees this and gets hurt or b, she looses business over it. Careful ppl!

    Fix it up
    I do agree with you, however recommending someone isn't saying someone else is bad. I think it's ok to say if someone did a good job. Maybe I shouldn't have asked about specific people. I named those I heard good things about (which does not indicate that those not mentioned are bad/ just unfamiliar to the writer, as yet).
