DOV Hair & Wigs

I had been toying with the idea of a hairpiece for some time due to a toxic combination of hair which frizzes in high humidity and hair loss due to radiation after a breast mastectomy. After trying several ""online"" pieces which were disasters, I decided to bite the bullet, swallow my inhibitions and try a real person. I went to Dov. But dismiss any notions now of him being an ordinary person; he is not. He is incredibly talented and a true master of his craft. Add to that his kindness and patience -- I am a bit of a nut about my hair -- and you have someone and something that is literally off the charts. When I went home last night wearing my new wig, my husband said I looked beautiful, yet exactly like me on my very best hair day. The acid test was today at work: I work with some very critical, high-maintenance women, and not one noticed anything different. The one comment I did receive was: ""fabulous blow-out today""! Ladies, if there is one investment to make during your lifetime which will not erode in value, it is a visit to Dov Salon. I agree whole-heartedly with the reviewer who stated five stars are not enough. The whole experience is ""heads"" above the crowd. No kidding. You owe it to yourself. more

I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and of course the first thing I thought about was losing my hair. What else would a girl think about after that kind of news? :) When it was time for chemo, I met with Dov and he totally put me at ease and made me feel good about myself. He took the time to talk to me about how I was feeling and made me feel confident that I would look great in my new wig. When it was time to lose my hair, Dov was awesome. He cut and shaved my hair so fast and with compassion?I had my new wig on in 15 minutes and looked fabulous. I walked out with a huge smile after being so stressed about losing my hair. Seriously, you could never tell that I?m wearing a wig, I now get a ton of compliments on my ""hair"" and it is also very comfortable (I forget that I?m wearing it). I also saw lots of other people getting their hair cut and/or highlighted and they also looked great. I will be going back to Dov for my first haircut after chemo in a few months! more

Dov is a genius. I get my hair cut and highlighted every few months, and it looks spectacular after every visit. The bonus is Dov's incredibly warm and kind personality. It is a pleasure to spend time with him while he works his magic. The salon itself is beautiful as well! more

You will be hard-pressed to meet a kinder, more generous or caring gentleman than Dov. When we first met at his salon, he informed me that he was determined to make me happy. When it comes to my hair, that is a truly tall order to fill! Nevertheless, a few days later, I walked out with a beautiful wig that has given me immeasureable pleasure. As a cancer patient, my greatest fear was that I would look like ""Cancer Girl"". Dov has enabled me to live my life without anyone noticing that I am wearing a wig. more

There's a reason for the expression ""bad hair day."" We girls know when our hair looks bad, nothing feels right. But having discovered Dov, I can say goodbye to those days forever. For years I've been self-consciousness due to thinning hair. I went to Dov Salon for a consultation and he showed me sample hairpieces--not full wigs--assuring me my life would change as a result of wearing one. No words can express how right he was! My piece is fabulous and absolutely nobody can detect it's not my own hair. The color, texture and cut make me feel beautiful and the confidence I exude when wearing it is...priceless! Dov is an expert in this field and putting myself in his hands was the best thing I ever did. I'm just sorry I didn't know about him years ago. If you want to feel great about your appearance and work with a kind, patient and considerate professional, call Dov. Why wait another day when you can look fabulous today! more

I have to tell everyone that if you need a wig - call Dov's now! Having been through radiation, and chemotherapy, my hair was seriously falling out - not a good thing to have to deal with, on top of all the changes in my life. I made an appointment with Dov, who was able to see me right away. He was so warm, and confident - I put my trust in him immediately. His staff was great too. And in the next few hours he gave me a gorgeous wig - really! All of a sudden I started smiling non stop - it was really amazing. I've gotten only rave reviews about my new style - and have been told I look 20 years younger. I can't wait to see Dov again! more

Dov is the hands down best ""hair genie"" coast to coast, including Hawaii - I have travelled to Dov for over 20 years and would never go to anyone else - the salon is beautiful, assistants are the best as well - no compromise here ever - on time, attentive and efficient service more

I found Dov's salon through Citysearch, and it is one of the best things I have ever experienced. My hair has been thinning through the top and crown area for a long time. Dov was able to transform my look to gorgeous, shiny, healthy hair. It is not a wig, but a hairpiece that is comfortable and believable. His kindness and the consideration of his staff made it even better. My only regret is that I did not do this sooner.So now, I shower, get dressed,attach my hairpiece and feel like a kid again. It has made such a difference in my life. I have another appointment with Dov and am so anxious to let him know how he has helped me gain back a special part of my being. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dov to everyone! more

I went to Dov because of the wonderful reviews. I have lost most of my hair because of alopecia areata. Dov recommended a hair piece that worked with my hair. The cut and style of the hairpiece was different from any style I ever had before, but it works for me. He was patient and made suggestions for styling while I familiarized myself with my new hair. When I returned home my husband and four-year-old daughter told me I looked great. My mother-in-law could not believe it wasn't my real hair. I feel much more confident and inspired to update my entire look. more

I don't mean to brag but Dov made this sixty your old grandma look like a model. Dov created a wig especially for me, the cut ,the color and the texture was perfect. My hair had been thinning for many years and through his God given artistry he uplifted my soul. This hair piece looks so real that my friends and co-workers could not believe their eyes. Dov gives you his undivided attention and is all his web site says . He creates miricles. I live in Connecticut and will gladly make the trip to the city for upkeep and eventually another wig. I am so glad I found Dov. more

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! more

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! more

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. more

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. Pros: Understands the special needs of women on chemo! more

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. more

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. more

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

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. more

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. more

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. more
