Twilight-hairextensions

The question isn’t who is wearing a wig or piece in this production, but who isn’t!! Until Victoria Wood brought this project to us we hadn’t even heard of the Twilight books. No young adult vampire book readers here at Hair Compounds.
This was another one of those projects that we had to color match and blend custom European bulk hair AND make some hand-tied wefts within 1 week for Bella, Alice, Rosalee, James, Esmee, Edward, Jacob and Bella’s doubles.

Shrek the Musical - Plot Description

Friday, August 1st, 2008

Based on William Steig’s novel and Dreamworks’ popular animated film, ‘Shrek the Musical’ follows the adventures of Shrek, a lovable swamp-dwelling ogre; his wisecracking sidekick, Donkey; the lovely Princess Fiona; Lord Farquaad and a chorus of everybody’s favorite fractured fairytale creatures. With more layers than ever and a completely original new score, ‘Shrek the Musical’ proves that there’s more to the story than meets the ears. - TheaterSource

The production staff at Hair Compounds spent a couple of months bleaching, dyeing, blending and finishing literally pounds of custom European hair for the character wigs worn for Shrek the musical.
Although they didn’t use only our custom European hair for all the characters it was definitely quite a lot of them. We worked on Lord Farquaad, the Ladies in waiting, the mermaids, Peter Pan, the Flower girls and many other characters.
Everyone had fun picking out bundles and imagining it as the finished wigs for Farquaad and wondering if the actor was horizontally challenged and if he would get a crick in his neck for wearing a wig with a full pound of hair in it.
Victoria Wood, Emmy nominated wigmaker and one of our favorite people, wove her magic (or should we say ventilated magic) turning out many of the character wigs for this great musical.
