What is a Lacefront wig?

Vanity

Vanity

With almost 30 years experience Vanity certainly is a master in hair, and a Master of drag. Those 2 professions combine to make a her an expert in Drag wigs. A Wigador!

"I love wigs. I understand wigs. I speak their language. They don't call me the wig whisperer for nothing! LOL. It’s my absolute pleasure to bring you all my knowledge and love for wigs. And I hope you can feel the magic whenever you wear an Über Riah. When Courtney and I started Wigs By Vanity all those years ago, our motto was “Making the world a more beautiful place, one head at a time” and we are actually doing that. So thank you for being a part of our goal and welcome to our sisterhood."

Courtney

Courtney

Being a finalist on Rupaul’s Drag Race, and the Winner of Celebrity Big Brother our little Courtney Act needs no introduction. Before that though, she was a household name in Australia as a finalist on Australian Idol season 1.Talented, beautiful, intelligent and a shrewd business woman, Courtney was the driving force to the realisation of Wigs By Vanity.

"In 2003 Vanity and I had a vision to make the world's most fabulous drag wigs inspired by Rupaul and her, then very much out of reach geographically and financially, wigs. Vanity is the creative and I the business and as a team we were the perfect blend. All these years later and we're still passionate and committed to that original vision, and seeing our wigs on head the world over. To stand on the mainstage of RuPaul’s Drag Race and clock that Rupaul was wearing a Wigs By Vanity was a full circle moment. There was a 15 year old Aussie boy screaming with joy on the inside. Thank you for helping turn our vision into reality."

Nikita

Nikita

Since joining the WBV team in 2019 Nikita holds the record for the most "Employee of the month" awards (she got it once...)!  Although her main responsibility is customer service, quality control, and the post, Nikita's role changes day to day. Some days you can find her in the wig stacks checking stock, other days you'll find her pinning fabric on Vanity or on the floor playing with barbies. Nikita has made herself invaluable to the company with her passion, knowledge of the product, and abilty to know when Vanity needs someone to hold her hand.

"If you send us an email, chances are I'll be the one to reply. When you get your wig in the post, chances are, I packed and shipped it for you. I honestly like to think of myself as a fan first and an employee second. I have followed both Courtney and Vanity's careers so closely I actually know most of their early costumes, wigs, and shows by heart. You think it would be creepy, but it actually comes in handy most days. LOL."
