Cosworx
Great place
to find quality wigs of all lengths, cuts and colors. The are always the
first place I check when I need to purchase a wig. They also offer a wide
selection of other cosplay supplies such as shoes, wig caps, styrofoam heads,
body make up, fake eyelashes, and wonderflex. Shipping is reasonably fast
and prices are about average. I highly recommend this place.
Cosplay Wigs on Ebay
Great quality of wigs (in most cases) and they offer a wide variety of unique colors too! Prices are reasonable and shipping is quick. Plus the wigs are super soft and easy to manage.
Dr.
Locks
Great place to find all your wig supply needs, along with some tutorials.
They carry a wide selection of extension hair great for adding length to
your odangos or to your wig's odangos. They also carry a wide selection
of other hair and synthetic products such as extension supplies, hair products,
some wigs, and clip in fring sets! Very fast shipping and great prices.
I highly recommend this place.
Tap
Plastics
A wonderful store and resource for all things plastic. They carry supplies
for anything plastic you can think of. For example, resin, fiberglass, plastic
sheets, sealants, molds and more. In addition to supplies, they also have
a large video archive on how to use their products. They show you how to
cast and even make molds! A great place to check out if you are new to resin
casting.
Cosplay
Supplies.com
They carry a
wide variety of supplies from wonderflex to wigs to shoe paint and everything
in between. I haven't personally purchased anything from this website, but
use it more as a resource as to what is out there. I have found their prices
on some items (Shoe Paint for example) to be significantly higher then other
places. Of course this could just be my experience. Definitely a place to
check out if you are stuck looking for something.
Electrique
Boutique
One of the largest
selections of unique foot wear I have found on the net. Their prices are
great and shipping is fairly fast. Great place to find Go-Go boots for you
senshi costume!
Katie
Bair's Wigs
A custom wig
maker with great amounts of talent. She has made many many character wigs
and even has a gallery of most of the wigs she can make. She requires you
to order several months in advance so beware of your time. I haven't purchased
anything from her, but is a great source for not only images of finished
wigs but wig help. She has many tutorials to help you with your wig woes.
Amphigory
They carry a wide selection of hair dyes, along with wig bases and extension
hair. They even have a gallery of how the hair colors come out. Very cool.
