MPX5127790: Wigs and false hair pieces are no longer considered a luxury. Most women can own one - but few would spend £1,500 on a complete "wig wardrobe." This is exactly what one customer at Owen Owen Ltd, hairdressing salon has done. "My client has bought wigs and pieces of all colours, shapes and lengths," said Mr Kenneth Lugg, manager of the salon. This photograph shows a customer at the Owen Owen wig boutique surrounded by samples of the wig-makers craft. At the Hotel Leofric in Coventry, this week more than 100 Coventry & District hairdressers attended a "wig forum," when two representatives from a wig firm gave hints on how to care for wigs, their cleaning, cutting, perming and setting. Wigs and hairpieces of all sizes and colours were on display including a special range of toupees for men. These toupees were priced from about £14 14s. 6th March 1968 (b/w photo) / Bridgeman Images
