FAQs About
Wigs in Saskatoon
Saskatoon has several options including specialty wig boutiques like Ruma’s Hair Place, RonBeautyAmazement, Opus Salon (private appointment-based), Saskatoon House of Braids, and Lots of Looks. Online retailers like Canada Hair also ship to Saskatoon within 2–5 business days. The right choice depends on whether you need an in-person fitting or are comfortable ordering online.
Synthetic wigs generally start around $200, while human hair wigs range from approximately $250 to $1,000 depending on length and style. CanadaHair Premium options with lace front or hand-tied cap construction can run higher. On the higher end, quality human hair wigs can cost anywhere from $700 to $3,000 depending on hair type, length, and construction.
Human hair wigs offer the most natural look and can be cut, styled, permed, or colored to suit personal taste, while synthetic wigs have built-in “memory” that holds curl and texture with minimal upkeep. Human hair requires daily styling like your own hair, but lasts longer (9–12 months with daily wear vs. 3–6 months for synthetic).
A human hair wig is a worthwhile investment that can last up to a year when worn daily if properly maintained. In contrast, synthetic wigs have a shorter lifespan of 4–6 months with daily wear. Factors like cap construction, washing routine, and styling frequency all affect longevity
Using a cloth measuring tape, begin at the front of your hairline and wrap the tape behind your ear to the nape of your neck, around to your other ear, until the tape meets again at the front. Most wigs have adjustable tabs at the neck to adjust the cap up to 1 inch for a secure fit
A lace front creates a natural-looking hairline that allows you to style hair back and off the face, while monofilament construction at the top gives the appearance of natural hair growth at the scalp. Lace fronts are the most requested style in Saskatoon because they’re virtually undetectable when properly fitted.
Yes — human hair wigs can be styled with hot tools, curled, straightened, and even coloured. However, it’s best to only deposit colour rather than lift, and always consult a professional with experience working on wigs. Excessive heat can damage the natural cuticle over time, so using a heat protectant is recommended.
You should always wash and maintain a human hair wig with care and specialized products designed for wigs, as the harsh chemicals in regular shampoos can cause damage. Use lukewarm water, gently work wig-specific shampoo from crown to ends (never rub or wring), condition the mid-lengths and tips, and air dry on a wig stand away from direct sunlight.
Saskatchewan’s provincial health plan does not directly cover medical wigs. However, many Canadian private extended health benefit plans do provide some coverage for medical wigs (called “cranial prostheses”), with amounts ranging from $150 to $1,500 or more per benefit period.

A natural look can be achieved with a lace front wig or by pulling some of your own hair along the hairline. Choosing a style and colour close to your natural look (or complementary to your skin tone), having a professional customize the cut to your face shape, and investing in a monofilament or hand-tied cap all contribute to a seamless, undetectable appearance.
You’ll be surprised at how comfortable a wig is to wear — look for wigs that feature lightweight fibre and an open cap for greater air circulation and a cooler feel. Many daily wearers in Saskatoon’s variable climate find that hand-tied or monofilament caps with adjustable straps are the most comfortable for all-day wear. Using a wig cap underneath can also help with comfort and security.
