Your New Look
Need a new look? Want to indulge the inner you…and channel Hannah Montana, Madonna, or Rhianna? Stop by the Teaneck wig shop called Marlon by Mishoe.
Here’s the place to let your hair imagination run wild. The storefront is wall-to-wall wigs, brunette, blonde, short, long, in between. There are hair extensions available, if you opt to add to your own hair.
The shop’s new owner, Juetta Wallace, is a full-time nurse. And she has more than just fashion in mind. Inspired by chemo patients, Wallace knows that the right wig can help these women regain their confidence and inspire their fight.
“It’s changed their lives,” she says, recalling patients who came in the door “down in the dumps,” and found their own transformations “truly amazing.”
Wallace is also organizing a wig donation program, to help get new or gently used wigs to the American Cancer Society.
The store also caters to women with thinning hair, and the local population of Orthodox Jewish women who wear the wigs in keeping with the rules of modesty. We also met a transgender customer trying on a selection of Juetta’s long straight haired wigs.
Maybe it’s just time for a change. Something to crown that fall wardrobe.
Wallace hosts monthly wig parties, for women who want to try on a few different looks. Stop by and see if you can find a wig that is just right for you. You may go home looking, and feeling, like a new person.
