What Our Clients Say
For more than 30 years, women in Los Angeles have trusted Ilan Wain with their custom wigs, kosher sheitels, cuts and color. Here are a few of the 5-star reviews clients have left on Yelp.
I just purchased a sheitel from Ilan and couldn’t be happier! I have a very difficult color – my hair is copper/blonde (strawberry blonde) and the expensive name-brand sheitels I’ve had turn brassy blonde very quickly.
When I walked into Ilan’s salon, he said he had the perfect sheitel for me. It’s natural unprocessed copper/auburn and the hair is gorgeous. It is his own brand. I was hesitant at first because it looked dark but he brought it out into the sunlight for me to see it shimmering shades of copper. He explained that with the strawberry blonde, it’s always going to get lighter than what I want, but this natural auburn shaitel will only get a bit more red when the sun kisses it and I will not have to dye it.
He also told me that this particular shaitel only needs to be washed and then it can air dry and be ready to wear — and then he had the sheitel washed so that I could see what the hair looks like when it dries naturally before I made my decision.
He took time, was patient with me and he is a true artist. He sees what is right for the person and that alone is worth going to him for!
Then he cut it beautifully! It’s hard to find someone who has an artist’s eyes and hands and is passionate about doing what is right for each customer — rather than just matching a sheitel to what they walked in wearing. I am so grateful to finally have a sheitel that is excellent quality, so comfortable, and cut right for me! Thank you, Ilan!!!!!

I am so lucky I found Ilan. First of all, Ilan is hilarious! I could go to his salon just to see him and I walk out happier.
I had an old wig – and really – it looked completely dead. I was ready to throw it out – it was already several years old. It was time to put it to rest. But I thought maybe Ilan has a suggestion about what I can do with it. I CAN NOT believe the magic he worked. He cut it and colored it and you would never know it is the same old dead wig! I love it. Ilan has magical hands. He is really talented and knows what he is talking about. I don’t know of any other wig salon or store that really knows wigs the way Ilan does.
I have purchased 4 wigs from Ilan – and the quality is exceptional. I am not paid to write this review. Honestly, people ask me where I got my wig and when I say Ilan – they smile and say – yeah it doesn’t look like the other brands. It is so natural. He is a little pricier than others – but his wigs are of great quality.
I highly recommend going to Ilan after you go to all the other stores and you can see the difference in quality. For me, it is worth it.

Yelp review
A religious friend of mine who got a wig from Ilan Wain Hair Design recommended I check out the large quality selection of natuaral hair wigs that Ilan has to offer. I bought several wigs from him. I am embarrassed to say that I spent over $10,000 on several wigs he highly recommended. I am NOT embarrassed to say that the wigs were worth every penny. I got so many compliments on the wigs I purchased from Ilan Wain that it is a real proof to me and my husband, and close friends that my next wig purchases are certainly going to be strictly from Mr. Wain. I had bought over the years from other vendors but no one compares to Ilan’s service, wig quality, and even pricing.

Ilan is the best wig cutter!
Whenever I’ve got a wig cut by someone else , I’ve had to pay to have it recut! Much more cost effective to get it right the first time.
He is a great stylist, my kids love him.
I’ll only get cut and color for myself from him.
Highly recommended

Ilan is a pro– hands down. I’d be hard pressed to find another skilled, experienced and charismatic stylist like him anywhere in LA and I’ve lived here for 20 years.
He really knows what he’s doing because most stylists don’t have that mix of looking at the whole you, your face type and what style is really gonna work. Also, the salon itself radiates a palatial, cool & clean and Mediterranean energy. It’s a really bespoke experience if you’re into that, so I highly recommend.
Oh, and taco’s around the corner after 5pm. 🙂

Ilan Waine is the most outrages fun incredibly talented guy. Anything he does or puts his touch on turns in to magic. No one can compete with him!!!! yes he might be a bit pricier than your average China wigs sold at all other salons, But you get what u pay for, so if you like cheap China wigs stick with them. Ilan is NOTHING BUT quality and if you want to look like a million dollars Ilan is the man!!!! Thank you for many years of your magic touch You are the hair/wig GOD!

Ilan is such an amazing hair stylist! I come to him every time I want to get my hair cut and/or colored and blowdried! He has truly perfected the art of hair styling and is so talented. There has not been one time that I have not been satisfied and he always knows exactly what I want and what would suit me!
I have very fine hair and he always knows how to treat it in order for it to stay and look healthy.
I would most definitely recommend Ilan to anyone as he consistently does an astounding job with his talent, good and fun energy, and overall desire to satisfy his customers and put a smile on their face!
