Wig commission information

I'm accepting commissions for wigs (almost) year-round and here's the information if you're interested!

I have been styling wigs for a little over four years now. I specialize in two-toned, high ponytail, pigtail, curly and wavy, Sailor Moon, and natural styled wigs although there are other styles I can create as well. The only kind I will not do are super spiky, gravity defying, complex styles of apocalyptic doom (such as Envy, Ryoko, Washu, Yami/Yugi, SS3 Goku, and Axel for example). I can also do custom colors on wigs. The type of fibers I work with are heat-resistant, kanekalon, and Elora. My pricing is based on the cost of materials, styling, and shipping. Wigs can take anywhere between 6 to 8 weeks for completion and it is recommended to order in a timely matter so they can be delivered to you in time for your event.


I accept Paypal, money orders, cashiers checks, and concealed cash (at your own risk). In order to start your wig, I require the cost of materials to be paid upfront and the rest paid upon completion. I'm based in the United States, but will ship internationally for an additional cost. Wigs are shipped in a large box and on a wig head by Priority Mail.


I'm going to put this out there right now.  You will not get a $30 wig from me.  It isn't possible because you are paying for both the materials and my time.  Materials on average can run anywhere from $55-$90+ depending on the wig.  If you are interested in purchasing a custom wig from me, send me an email at celciaREMOVETHIS@inbox.com with "Wig commission" as your subject line or you can send me a conversation through my Etsy account (click on "contact").  Examples of my work:


Usagi Tsukino from Sailor Moon

Sheryl Nome from Macross Frontier

Zhen Ji from Dynasty Warriors 6

Akroma, Angel of Wrath from Magic the Gathering


I'm not taking orders for spiky or super fluffy wigs at this time since I'm not really experienced with those.  

New crafts for November

Now that I've gotten my commissions out of the way, I can finally work on some personal projects.  This month, I'm going to finally get around to working on my Team Rocket cosplay!  First, I'm going to start the gloves since I still need red and white ribbed cotton for the trims on the dress.  This will be my first time making my own gloves and bootcovers so this'll be quite a learning experience.  When I was in New York in August, I took a trip down to the Fashion District in Manhattan to pick up some fabric.  The stuff wasn't really a bargain, but they obviously have a much bigger selection of fabric and other materials than my state has.

While I was there, I bought white stretch pleather (to make the gloves and bootcovers) and purple accordion (pleated) satin.  The satin will be used in another up comming Sheryl Nome cosplay and the pleather will obviously be used in the Team Rocket one.  Which Team Rocket character am I cosplaying as?  Well... very few of you know, but I'm keeping that a secret until I've completed the wig since that's the most important part since her hair is so distinctive (and bad wigs, unstyled wigs, etc. are my biggest cosplay pet-peeve moreso than anything else).  I've bought some beeswax from Etsy to make the threads stronger as the pattern recommends and hopefully, I can somehow do this on my sewing machine since I hate hand-sewing anything.


And this is the progress of a rose hair comb I was working on back in August to go with my dress to a ball I was attending in New York.  I ended up not wearing the dress I was going to wear it with, so I didn't get any use out of this yet.  BUT I am going to use it for my Princess Serenity cosplay when I wear it again!  The rose is made out of polymer clay.  Speaking of Princess Serenity, I'm going to be making a new wig since I sold my other one (I didn't really like the super white color and would prefer a silver one).  This'll be my... fourth moon wig?  I also plan on cosplaying as Queen Serenity in the future so I'll be getting a good amount of use out of this wig!  I'll start working on the wig in a few months, or whenever there's another sale on the needed materials (whichever comes first).

New Sailor Moon wig finished!

I've finished a new Sailor Moon wig commission just the other day and this one turned out even better than the last one!  I used different a different method (which was even more time consuming, but it was safer) and it turned out just wonderful. :)




If you're interested in owning a wig like this one, visit my Etsy store and I can custom make one just for you in any color you'd like!

Custom Sailor Moon wig commissions!

Hello there everyone!  Sorry for the lack of updates, but I've been busy with commission work (so life has been a doozy).  After the latest wig commission I've done, I am now offering custom-made Sailor Moon wigs in my Etsy store!  I can do Usagi Tsukino/Sailor Moon, Princess Serenity, and Queen Serenity.  I can also do Black/Wicked Lady, but that will cost extra due to the materials needed.  In addition to the moon family, I can also do other Sailor Senshi and many other anime and video game characters!  However... I will not do spiky wigs at this time.

If you are interested, check out my Etsy Shop!  More information can be viewed there!

Starting new projects

I haven't been updating this blog as much as I have in the past thanks to friggin' Adsense being a huge bitch.  But anyway!  I'm starting new projects and I'll blog about them here.  This month I am working on a Sailor Moon Usagi Tsukino commission for a friend and a Kingdom Hearts II Kairi skirt and tie commission for another friend.  I'll document them here starting with the Usagi wig since that is due by the end of the month.  I have nothing better to do and figure this may help some people who are going to be doing the same projects, so why not?  I'll start on my own personal projects once these are finished, probably by November 1st.

I will say this in advance, I may or may not get into knitty gritty details about constructing these--it depends on my schedule and mood.

New Etsy store!

Not exactly new, but I've got it up and running again!  I'm selling custom made costumes, wigs, and accessories now.  Right now I am taking orders for Rinoa Heartilly's duster and sleeves from the video game Final Fantasy VIII.  They're made out of real sweater material (rib knit yarn) and I can only make a few of them, so order now while you still can!  Once they're sold out, that's it!  I'm also selling my white Princess Serenity wig SOLD!! and my Cendrillon Miku Hatsune costume from Vocaloid!

I'm still around!

Hey, everyone!  I'm still around!  Severe lack of updates due to many reasons, like me being ticked off about something that happened, and cosplay work.  Did two wig commissions in two weeks (rush orders) which nearly killed me.  Needless to say, I will not be doing that ever again.  My Serenity dress was finished a while ago!  The only thing I didn't get around to doing were a pair of proper sleeves... I need to play around with resin and/or craft foam and craft foam for that.  That'll be finished at another time.

Anyway, here's a picture from a photoshoot I did in this dress!


For a better view... click on the picture. Lol

I have more pictures, but I'll upload them when I'm feeling more like myself and not in lots of pain.
