Still Having Wig Problems. . . Dx

[yamaneko]

Yes, I've asked about this before. . . well, look at the title. ^^; So. . . Here's the story.

I, as a stupid newbie at cosplaying, went on eBay and searched for an Allen Walker wig. Only one good one showed up. (There were others that weren't, in my opinion, very good, of course) It looked great! So I bought it. And when it got to me. . . it was longer than it seemed in the picture. O.O So I freaked and e-mailed the seller, who promptly told that it was styled in the picture. Dx So I go to all the salons around that I go to to get my hair cut at, and most of them gave me a big REFUSAL sign. o.o So I thought, that's strange, why can't they cut my wig?. . . until I did some research and learned that wigs can damage most human-hair-cutting scissors. Also, most human-hair-cutting techniques don't work with wigs.

So here's my final question. Does anyone know a good place where I can get it cut, or (if it comes down to it) can cut it for me? >.< Yes, I'm too chicken to cut it myself.

You might want to check out some of the wig guides on Cosplay.com. I don't know where you're at (located) so I couldn't recommend somewhere. Worse comes to worse I'd (a cosmetology student) would be happy to cut it for you.

I've never heard of wig fibers damaging hair scissors. o.o I'm a wig commissioner, and I've been cutting wigs for almost 8 months with the same pair of hair scissors and they're perfectly fine. But anyways, I suggest that you just buy the Scruffy wig on www.cosworx.com since it'll probably be cheaper than paying for shipping and labor money to a commissioner to cut it for you.

You know at my school they are always pushing onto us not to cut our scissor to cut anything else but they never tell us why. I suspect it is because they could dull easily (but if you've been working with them for 8 months then I dunno). I know that when they do dull it cost a pretty penny to sharpen them again.

I think the Scruffy wig is a little. . . too scruffy ^^; All I need is a trim at the bottom, maybe a little work on the bangs. . . but besides that, that's about it. o.o If one of you is willing to cut it, that'd be great! (cuz I'm pretty much running out of ideas @.@)

And, yeah, I've looked at that, but it doesn't say anything about actually CUTTING the wig ( but, then again, I only read the first post ^^; )

I'm sorry, I forgot about the fact that the scruffy works mainly for Crown Clown Allen. ^^; You didn't mention what version you were doing, so yeah. Will you be there on Day 0(Thursday)? I might be able to do it for you then.

Whoops, my bad. ^^; I'm doing the new version, but not Crowned Clown. Just the new uniform. Thursday? o.o I have school until 3, but might be able to come after.
