At Hairware, we’ve always believed that hair is about more than appearance. It’s about identity, confidence, and feeling like yourself - especially during times when life feels uncertain. That belief has shaped everything we do, from the brands we stock to the way we care for every single customer who reaches out to us.
Founded in the 1980s, Hairware has grown steadily over the years into a trusted UK retailer and wholesaler of high-quality wigs and hair solutions. Today, we are proud to supply some of the most respected names in alternative hair, including Envy Wigs, The Orchid Collection by René of Paris, Henry Margu, and TressAllure - brands known for their comfort, realism, and individuality.
But what truly defines Hairware isn’t just what we sell. It’s why we’re here.
Proud NHS Wig Suppliers Since 2015
In 2015, Hairware was approved as an NHS supplier of prescription wigs - something we remain incredibly proud of. Since then, we’ve supported individuals across the UK who are experiencing hair loss due to medical treatment or conditions such as cancer or alopecia, working closely with Cheltenham Hospital and beyond.
For many of our customers, choosing a wig isn’t a lifestyle decision - it’s a deeply personal one. We understand the emotional weight that can come with that, and we take our responsibility seriously. Our role isn’t just to provide wigs, but to offer reassurance, expertise, and a safe, supportive space where people feel heard and understood.
A Personal, Down-to-Earth Approach
Based in Stroud, our aim is simple: to make the world feel a little brighter for every customer. From the moment you contact us, we want the experience to feel calm, friendly, and pressure-free.
Choosing a new wig doesn’t need to be overwhelming. Our team takes a down-to-earth, honest approach - offering guidance without jargon, and support without any unnecessary stress. Whether you know exactly what you’re looking for or are just starting your journey, we meet you where you are.
And if visiting us in person isn’t possible or feels like a step too far, that’s completely okay. We also offer telephone consultations and respond to emails daily, ensuring expert advice is always within reach.
More Than Wigs
While wigs are at the heart of what we do, Hairware offers much more than that. Our range includes hairpieces and accessories such as attachable buns, ponytails, braids, fringes, and turbans - all designed for easy wear, comfort, and confidence.
We also stock specialist wig care products, including shampoos, conditioners, and leave-in sprays, carefully selected to help maintain the quality, look, and longevity of your hair. Because looking after your wig properly makes all the difference.
Expert Guidance, Tailored to You
For those who want a more hands-on experience, we offer one-to-one appointments at Hairware. These personalised consultations allow you to try on a wide range of styles, explore different colours and fibres, and receive expert advice on fit, comfort, and care - all at your own pace.
Our goal is never to rush or push. It’s to help you leave feeling confident, informed, and supported in your choice.
Looking Ahead for 2026
As we move forward, our focus remains the same: education, quality, and genuine care. We’re committed to continuing to grow our collections, share our expertise, and provide a service that puts our customers first - always.
