| - A fellow patron wearing pajamas and slippers felt comfortable saying to me, "That wig looks good. Just get it in a more gold and brown color. That'll look better on you." She was cool and honest. And this is why I miss the east side. When we first moved to Vegas it was to an apartment complex near Sahara and Nellis. Our U-Haul was awkwardly parked in the cramped lot and my sunburnt 1984 Honda Civic fit right in. As we returned from the front office with the keys to our apartment, the neighbors watching us from their porch offered up an ice cold Bud Light, "It's hot as hell out here."
I live for unsolicited conversational opportunities, and these occasions abound in Beauty Warehouse. I don't recall hearing any music over the speakers, but the banter of the ladies in the beauty shop in the back of the store filled the place. As my teenage wig attendant said, "They're like that all the time, having a good time. They're hilarious."
So I left with three synthetic wigs, one eyeshadow compact ($1.99), one lip gloss compact ($1.99) and one fantastic, sparkly purple eyeliner pen ($1.99). Two of the wigs were on sale, 50% off of $25-35. My total bill was around $60.
The most notable aspect of the store is its wig collection, some 150 awesome wigs on display, with the most expensive being just over $100. The attendant was happy to let me try on a dozen of them. We had heard about this place through a wig shop located in the Indoor Swap Meet, whose wigs are $250-350 (beautiful, but not what I needed).
The Beauty Supply Warehouse also has tons of hair dyes and curly-haired products such as Grapeseed oil, all at reasonable prices. The service is friendly and the place is packed with products. It's 100% unpretentious.
