What is a Lacefront wig?

Vanity

Vanity

Vanity is one of Australia's premiere drag queens and has played a pivotal role in the evolution of drag over the last 25 years. These days Vanity is constantly designing and launching new products in Wigs by Vanity line, and loves performing in drag around the country alongside some of the world's greatest drag superstars.

"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 began with customer service, quality control, and the post, Nikita's role has now grown to include wig design and website management. 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.

"Although we have a lot of fun at work I take my job extremely seriously. With my background in makeup, drag and hair I came to the business with a bit of knowledge, but under Vanity's tutelage I have really come to thrive. I'm a big believer in sharing knowledge and tips with our customers. Everyone can be a wig witch with a bit of help (and one of our wigs) So if you have any questions reach out!"
