Clients Experiences:

“After chemo, I was nervous about wearing a wig. Will it look too fake? Or will other people see it as well? Because you don't want "your hair" to look unnatural due to the fact that i'm a beginner, regarding wearing wigs. I reached out to Medical Wigs Femperial   I wish i had reached out to this company earlier, because they are knowledgeable they don't "talk the talk" they know about the pros en cons, because most of the staff members wear them too. The medical wig I got from Medical Wigs Femperial felt natural, lightweight, and the blond color tones are just beautiful, it gave me my confidence back.”
— Bianca T., London

“Unfortunately i have thin hair at the front, exactly as the woman shown in the video of the homepage Medical Wigs Femperial, around the backside i have tons of hair, but i was a bit skeptical not knowing what i actually want because if you're not aware of the problem, you will not know which issues i am facing at this point. Luckily i had a customer care specialist called Laura who guided my through the cons especially, because wearing a topper is not for everybody. I was more then pleased, that i received the exact assistance that i needed, regarding hair toppers. I already saw a topper that i really wanted, i reached out before purchasing. They send me a live footage of the model items and several (colors) that they have, because every piece is being produced individually, due to hygienic standards which is a A+ sign. I directly proceeded  further with my purchase. My hair topper from Medical Wigs Femperial blends perfectly with my natural bio hair. No one can tell the difference!”
— Emily R., California
