Hi Karen
I have now bought two wigs - one from The Individual Wig on Oxford St, the other from headcovers.com. I have tried LOADS on at various places. THe best advise I can give is that you get what you pay for. A $70 wig will be nowhere near as good quality as a $300 wig. The brand names eg Jon Renau, Rene of Paris etc are outstanding quality, and look as close to real hair as you get.
Like Loz said, definitely go to one or two of the shops and try a lot of wigs on....you'll get a feel for the style, design, brand, colour that suits. Then you can either buy from them or buy online. The benefit of buying from the store is that they'll resize your wig for you (take some wefts out) if need be to make it fit your head, cut and style it if need be, and you can take it to them for servicing (wash and steam) - they won't do this for wigs if you buy online.
Also if you have private health cover you may be eligible for a rebate - best to check with them.
All the best with your wig shopping. :)
