Thank youPosted on Google Gwyn Voges ShermanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Leigh Shannon is hands down a 5 out of 5! Over the past 12 months, he has helped two of my closest loved ones with customized wigs during chemotherapy, and I cannot say enough about the impact he’s made. Yes, his product is exceptional. Yes, he takes tremendous pride in his work. But what truly sets Leigh apart is his heart. During a time when someone is scared, overwhelmed, and trying to process a cancer diagnosis, he brings compassion, dignity, and genuine care. He doesn’t just provide a wig — he helps restore confidence and a sense of self when it’s needed most. His shop is colorful and full of personality — and while it may surprise you at first, don’t let that fool you. In the middle of the storm that is cancer, Leigh Shannon is a bright, steady light for both patients and caregivers. They say rainbows come after every storm — Leigh is the most beautiful rainbow of all. He is worth every penny. You will leave feeling uplifted, supported, and seen. He also works with an incredibly talented hairstylist who customizes and trims each wig to make it as personal and natural as possible. What a gift he is. Go see him. You will not regret it!!Posted on Google Dixie GibbonsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the moment I walked into this wig shop, I felt cared for! Shopping for a wig as a chemo patient felt really vulnerable, but Leigh made the entire process feel light and hopeful. I tried on different styles, and we actually laughed and had FUN! And, he made a bunch of GREAT suggestions that I wouldn’t have known about – like a hat with hair. Who knew?! Leigh clearly understands what this season is like for me, and I SO APPRECIATE the loving ways he helped me find things that work for me! If you are in need of a wig, especially as a chemo patient, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE get yourself to Ritzy Rags. You’ll be SO GLAD you did! Thanks, Leigh!!!Posted on Google Sharon MillerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had an appointment at Ritzy Rags Wigs and more. Met with Leigh Shannon the owner. It was a great experience. Leigh is friendly, caring, and very knowledgeable regarding wigs. He was fun and very helpful. I highly recommend him to anyone wanting a wig for any reason. You won't be disappointed!Posted on Google debbie colemanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gracious very friendly very helpful Really knows what he’s doing takes his time with you large selection of wigs Highly recommend If you’re looking for a wig for whatever reasonPosted on Google Betty AnielloTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After reading all these wonderful reviews, I started to think maybe I was in the wrong shop. The owner was the most rude and obnoxious store owner I have ever experienced. No compassion for a cancer patient, didn't let me complete a sentence without interjecting his negative opinion and treating me like I was stupid for possibly wanting a topper instead of a wig.Apparently he only had one to show me with a scowl on his face the whole time.I should have known by his tone when I called to make an appointment. I wouldn't recommend this shop to anyone.
Yelp Reviews
Posted on Yelp Evelyn M.Verified I have very thin hair and have lost a lot of hair over the years. I felt very self-conscious about my lack of hair. I finally decided to look at possibly wearing a wig. Both Leigh and Chris spent time with me to find the best wigs that fit me. They listened to me, gave great suggestions. They made me feel good about myself. I bought 2 wigs. My girlfriend, who came with me for moral support, also bought a wig. Chris explained how to wash and dry the wig. I walked out of the store knowing that I can call them anytime with any questions I might have. I highly recommend Ritzy Rags Wigs & More.Posted on Yelp Kimberly S.Verified I have changed my review to a 1 star. If I could give 0 I would. I believe these 2 guys take advantage of women with hair loss no matter what reason. The every expensive wigs after just a few months are frizzing and falling apart. I will update soon with pics. I called the business right after purchase with some concerns and was called back by the owner. He left a message that had no relevance to my concerns. I tried to call back several times and it would go to a "full" VM. I DO NOT RECOMMEND. The owner is nothing but a salesman. I feel he had no real concern for what I wanted. I bought on emotion and he took advantage of that. One of the wigs has a huge gap in the scalp. I have followed the directions and it is still falling apart/frizzing. I will post a pic soon of the wig that is falling apart. And beware...dont let him sell you the $89 package for a wig brush, cap and wig stand. The wig stand is cheap plastic and you can buy the brush for $4 on Amazon. It also included a "wig" shampoo and another cheap bottle of wig spray. I also tipped him $20. Total waste of over $700.Posted on Yelp Ashley B.Verified The only place I would go for wigs. I'm a hairstylist and a few of my clients have lost hair due to medical reasons. This is the place I send my clients. They are treated with kindness and compassion. Never hurried. Leigh Shannon answers any questions with kindness. All of my clients have loved their wigs. As well as my sister-in-law who went through cancer. -AshleyPosted on Yelp Pete C.Verified Chris and Leigh were so nice today helping my wife find the right wig. Very nice service and selections to look at. We will be back.Posted on Yelp Bernadette S.Verified My daughter and I visited your awesome shop , October 26th, I purchased 3 Beautiful wigs , including one of them for my daughter . We had an awesome time at your shop and the time y'all spent with us, you made us feel fabulous . I came in with a wig that the wonderful man (Reba) said he wouldn't touch that rat nest, well I wanted to let you know , we stopped by the shop and I got my money back even though she advertises all sales final and no returns. We are both wearing your magical hair , we get many looks and it's amazing they have no clue it's not our real hair. Your shop was one of the highlights on our trip, I tried to stop by before we headed home but time got away from us. I am looking forward to your sale in December and perhaps get the same wigs that I purchased for change outs if possible. I want to thank you both for making us feel like family and the wonderful attention and time that you gave us . Love y'all BernadettePosted on Yelp Monika K.Verified I came to ritzy rags because I recently lost my hair due to chemotherapy. Leigh Shannon and Betty spent so much one-on-one time with me and made sure I loved the way I looked before I left. I ended up leaving with two wigs and so much confidence. Thank you so much Leigh, Betty and Joey! You guys are absolutely amazing and so good at what you do!Posted on Yelp D. T.Verified This place is LEGENDARY in the Orlando area!!! Leigh is always warm and welcoming and a celebrity in the Drag World!! They have a little bit of everything to make your drag life (or LGBTQIA life) more fun!!!! Wigs, large size GORGEOUS shoes (i.e. size 14+), amazing and gorgeous drag outfits, pride flags, top quality drag/theatrical makeup (Ben Nye); etc. Treat yo self and drop by for some fun, laughs, and shopping!! I like supporting small, local businesses like this!! For cis women who are dealing with hair loss, Leigh provides you with an intimate and customer focused shopping experience to ensure you get the wig(s)/style(s) that look great on you!!Posted on Yelp Sandy S.Verified The nicest most helpful humans in the planet work here. I can't say enough about the customer service and heartfelt genuine care they give you.Posted on Yelp Catherine K.Verified I had the honor of accompanying my friend to purchase a wig as she will begin chemo next week. Leigh was marvelous! He had such a great personality, a knowledge of chemo and cancer treatment, and a grasp of cancer makeup needs. I would recommend Ritzy Rags Wigs and More to anyone needing hair for their cancer treatment time. My daughter is a hairdresser and I can't wait to share the information with her to help her clients as well. Well done Leigh, can't wait to catch your show.Posted on Yelp Tony B.Verified I came in looking for an Evita-like wig for a tiny drag number and just fell in love with all the options. Service was so fun and helpful in navigating the range of $ and quality options. I was able to find a reasonable option that stole the show and got lots of compliments . So happy I even referred a few friends to check this place out!
