Top 8 Best Lace Front Wig Stylists in Philadelphia

A few months ago I wrote an article listing out the top knotless hair braiders in Philadelphia. Since it is so hard to find good reliable, and professional stylists these days, a lot of people reached out thanking me for making their search easier. So I  decided to do it again.

A popular hair style among the black community is lace front wigs. Fall is right around the corner, and more and more people will be looking for a protective style like a wig. Not everyone can lay a lace front wig the right way so that it lasts and doesn't rip your edges out.

So, I have complied a list of some of the best wig slayers in Philadelphia who are bound to get you right!
