    Wig
    Natascha B.

    I cannot express just how LOVELY my Fifi's experience was! As a stage IV cancer patient who's lost her hair for the foreseeable future, I had been hesitant about wearing wigs, fearing they'd make me feel like a stranger in my own skin. But the moment I sat in that chair, the folks at Fifi's met me with such care & reassurance, easing all those hesitations and making me feel confident, beautiful, & seen

    Some of the best shopping in the French Quarter is found on Royal Street and if your here during Mardi Gras then you must stop in to Fifi Mahoney's to try on a wig. Fifi's has a variety of wigs ranging in every color, length, shape, style, glitter embellishment and animal horn selection available. The staff are so friendly and helpful. My Mom and Sister went all out, which made our experience here much more memorable especially since everything and I mean everything I brought with me is bedazzled in glitter, lol! If you are shopping on Royal, Fifi's is a must see!

    We stopped into FiFi's during a girls' weekend and had the absolute BEST time. Emma, our wig specialist, helped us piece together a number of looks -- she has an excellent eye! So much fun, and we made a few new friends, too. I highly recommend adding this to your New Orleans itinerary--I'll definitely be back!

    I've had my eye on Fifi's for a long time. It looks as though it's a salon turned into shop which is so neat. We all known that amazing salon feeling when we're about to leave looking elevated! Not only would her wigs be a perfect fit for any day in Nola but they'd be fabulous for Mardi Gras season. Each year I try to spice up my parade costumes and I can always count on Fifi's for a show stopping wig, headpiece or accessories.

    Endless choices!

    I've been going to Fifi's now for ALMOST 20 years! Of my 14 wigs, only two of them were purchased elsewhere. It's the quality and customer service that keeps me coming back-best wig shop in town! Thanks to Bridgette for her stellar service getting my new wig fitted and trimmed to fit my face!

    I ended up finding this place by just ambling around the French Quarter, but I'm so glad I stopped in! What a way to get a souvenir that is truly New Orleans in its essence, and something I'll actually end up wearing and using. When I walked in, I loved the bright, colorful, and vintage ambiance, but was taken aback by the number of options and styling. Wigs range anywhere from $40-200, and I was clear with the staff about my price range, and they were happy to offer multiple suggestions and had me try on several wigs, showing us the correct way to put a cap and wig on, and providing nets and bobby pins. Super fun and unique experience - I ended up grabbing two!

    Well I ain't dead from covid, all the concerned comments got me thinking that I should write a review. So I am reviewing this wig shop that I went to at Mardi Gras. This is Mardi Gras 2020, the Mardi Gras to end all Mardi Gras? The cursed Mardi Gras?  The Mardi Gras the end of the world, like the restaurant perhaps? Either way, I've been getting a lot of use out of this wig, and I have to say it's turned me into a fan. Excellent quality, easy to style and care for. All throughout my trip, and it was a long trip, the trip of a lifetime, I have no regrets except that left that City at all. But all throughout my trip, whenever I said my wig came from Fifi Mahony's, everyone oooohed and ahhhed and said "Oh you went to the GOOD place". I got a blue and black ombre wig that suits me so well most people think it's my natural hair. Sometimes I just wear it around the house just to brighten up my day. This wig is more than just a wig, which anyone who's into wigs will tell you. But since it's my first this is a new discovery for me, and so I am sharing it with you, who may perchance be looking to buy your first too. And it will change your life. You may have great hair. You may think it's itchy. You may wonder how it will stay on your head. Well let me tell you, all of those questions are answerable. Not by me, go ask FiFi's! It's an easy way to transform a costume into a performance. It's a fast way to make yourself into a character. You can anonimize yourself, but also makeg yourself a staple, a signature of every environment you walk into. And if you go to Fifi Mahony's, they will sit you in chair and ask you about your wants, needs, and desires. Feel free to wax poetic about your drama, your insecurities. They will put them to rest, and place on your head a crown, a jewel, that makes you feel as you walk out that door, that you are the queen, or king, of the world. I don't know how they've been doing during quarantine, I don't know that you can sit in the chair yet, but I wanted to take the time to leave them some love. It was fellow yelper Joi, that referred me to them and I cannot thank her enough. There are many reviews coming down the pipeline, I don't know if I'm going to write them. But for all those who were wondering, I'm alright. And I'm a little more alright, because of this wig.

    Love my Fifi Mahony's wig! I totally get why everyone loves their wigs!!

    So can I review a place I've never been too but bought a wig in a silent auction at a breast cancer fundraiser? All I know is that Fifi Mahony's reputation stands on it's own! Every person I know raves about this place for their absolutely fabulous wigs! And they were totally right! I bought a gorgeous hot pink wig with a butterfly and other accoutrements in it! My best girlfriend's sorority alumni chapter had a breast cancer which is close to my heart bc my Mom is a survivor but my aunt (her baby sister) didn't make it. Can I say this wig was so much fun that multiple friends of mine and ladies I didn't know wanted to try it on and take pictures. I was more than happy to oblige! Now I can't wait to actually visit their store for my next purchase! Happy wig shopping y'all!

    This amazing styled wig!  Y'all it's so good.

    This small shop packs a punch! Super helpful staff, adorable collection of wigs, jewelry, and makeup for the exhibitionist in all of us. I cannot wait to get back here when I'm in NOLA again.

    You're in the French Quarter, Gawd girl, if you have one fabulous bone in your body, go in there and try on a couple of wigs. If your travels take you there during Mardi Gras, it's really a must and should be your first stop. Most of the smaller hair accessories were sold out, but I managed a handmade flower hair accessory that coordinated my wig for $30. The synthetic wigs are around 40-60, so prices are fair for being in the French Quarter. They don't want any pictures taken in the store, so they get cranky if they see you with your phone out. Put that wig on Girl and #Laissez les bon temps rouler!

    I never thought wigs/headdresses would be something I love, but this is ART! I now have 7 pieces and am heading down later today to hopefully pick up my 8th. This store represents everything I love about New Orleans - the creativity, the craft, the energy - thank you to the owner and staff for this gem of a small business!

    Best costume wig shop in the city! The staff will take the time to help you choose the perfect wig and/or makeup for your event. Super clean. Awesome selection. Simply put, a must-visit if you're serious about your costuming!

    The wife after an hour at Fifi's
    James F.

    Upon deciding to embark on the wife's post Katrina return to NOLA, she started talking about Fifi Mahony's. Sounds great, they must have oyster Po' boys. Wait, wigs and makeup? "Remember that sassy wig where I could change my hair color in an instant and you could be fu**ing a blonde?" That's Fifi Mahoney's. French Quarter proud and a bit sacred ground meaning no photographs, the wife embarked on a vacation makeover. I spent some time helping her pick her new look; some costume jewelry purchased and makeup hastily but tastefully applied. She promised a gentleman's club nearby; instead me eager with anticipation of my newly made over New Orleans bride. The staff was friendly to me as well; helping me fix a few blemishes in the form of overgrown eyebrows. The staff made my wife feel welcome without an appointment; for the most part taking care of her desires within other patrons time constraints. She walked out feeling like ten million bucks. For the $150 spent, I'd say it was totally worth it.

    My BEAUTIFUL mother has Stage 4 Metastatic Breast Cancer and has been on chemo for about a year and…read morea half. There is no cure and she will be on chemo for the rest of her life! She beat cancer once and 12 years later it came back! While disappointing and horrible, there are bright spots to losing ones hair....that's where Amber and Hair Styles Unlimited come in! On Sunday evening, I researched wig consultants in Metairie/New Orleans. One, in particular, stood out...HSU!!! One look and read through their website and you instantly feel like they're the place for you! (Please take a look!) I called on Monday and Amber answered....Yayy for Amber. She's got amazing southern charm, very informative and had an appointment for my mom the next day. My mom, my daughter and I arrived for her appt and felt comfy from the moment we walked in. HSU, in mindfulness of covid, took our temps, had us sign in, ensured all were masked up, and even freshly sanitized pens for us to use. Amber walked the salon with us, walked us through the process and helped us pick out wigs that may be just right for my mom. She was patient, kind, supportive and never rushed us. She assured us that what they didn't have, they could get for us and that we could make adjustments to wigs including color, lengths, bangs, etc. I'd say my mom tried on about 10 wigs or so and felt very comfy the entire time. (This was huge for such a humbling moment in life!) We learned about the different types of wigs, different types of wig hair, wig prices, how to wrap the existing hair, how to take care of the wig, how to put on securely and comfortably, and how long to keep. We fell in love with 2 and had the full support of Amber who was honest and, again, informative and compassionate and just all around helpful!!!! Amber, our gem, and HSU have helped my mom and our family to breathe easier and to give my mom a boost in confidence, comfort and beauty which she so unbelievably deserves!!!! I cannot share what a great experience we had with Amber and HSU, and we are excited to have found a new resource for my mom. Thank you SO MUCH Amber and PLEASE keep positively changing the lives of those with hair loss due to cancer and other health reasons! You and the biz ROCK!

    I was referred by my boyfriend who only heard that his stylist was great at coloring but I was…read morewilling to try anyone that had a personal reference. I don't know many people that wanted the drastic change I did (dark dyed hair to blonde). Well, Krystal made magic happen!!! It may have taken a long time but she did what other stylists could not do or would not do... what I wanted!! I'm so happy that I'm actually happy to go out again. My previous colorings by other people was called a work in progress" so I had felt I had to live with 4 inches of dark hair by my roots and blonde ends until the "process" was done. But.... I'm all blonde now with only once by Krystal!!!
