The Wig Clinic

Part of our series of articles on businesses led by female entrepreneurs.

Founded and owned by Miriam Moylette, The Wig Clinic has locations in Athlone, Galway and Tullamore.

Miriam has been in the wig business for over 25 years, specialising in medical wigs and related services for women, men and children experiencing hair loss. Hair loss can occur for many reasons including cancer treatments like chemotherapy and radiotherapy, stress related hair loss, trauma related hair loss or natural hair thinning.

Miriam provides expert advice to help you find the most suitable wig or hairpiece for you and answer all the questions you might have in a discreet and comfortable environment at The Wig Clinic, located in Athlone, Galway and Tullamore. Miriam can also do hospital visits and home visits in certain circumstances by prior appointment.

Miriam is Ireland’s leading expert in medical wigs and with years of experience working with clients suffering the trauma of alopecia or hair loss. Trained by renowned hairdresser David Marshall, she had many years of experience as a hairdresser before getting involved in the wig business some 25 years ago.

After witnessing the distress caused by hair loss due to illness, Miriam set out to offer a holistic and compassionate service which considers both the physical and psychological needs of her clients at The Wig Clinic.

Her professional experience and knowledge in all of the aspects of designing a wig - cutting and styling, measuring and moulding – ensures that clients at The Wig Clinic can be assured of the highest level of customer service. The service starts with a consultation, where the staff listen carefully to you to understand your anxieties and fears, answer all your relevant questions and talk you through the range of wig options available, making sure they find the wig that is right for you.

Clients often express an anxiety about not looking any different from normal, which is why the staff carefully match the colour, texture, volume, shape and style with a fibre or human hairpiece.

If you feel a wig is not for you, the staff can also offer advice on other options and a whole range of stylish headwear. Same day fitting may be provided subject to wig options chosen.
