6-11-15 Hi there, I just wanted to extend a huge thank you to you guys for taking such great care of our patients. Everyone I’ve sent your way has had wonderful things to say about their experience, absolutely loves their hair prosthesis, and insists that I continue to send future patients your way. I really appreciate being able to confidently recommend a place where I know our gals will be treated with kindness and compassion and leave with a product that looks great and exceeds their expectations.

Dear Michael and Dennis,
I have to write to let you know what a difference your cranial prosthesis has already made in my life, two short days after my visit with you! I must admit to not being enthralled when I was in your studio as I am VERY detail oriented and tend to focus on the flaws. I couldn’t believe that any of the selections would look like my hair.
The photos below were taken this morning after a 1 1/2 hour Intermediate Ballet class! My clip held strong and, even to my eye, this looks exactly like my hair. It is absolutely incredible! My stylist cut it exactly like my shoulder length bob style and it is easy to put up in a variety of ways.
You have HUGELY improved the most challenging time in my entire 60 years. Enormous thanks for devoting yourselves to helping people like me who lose their hair and can’t imagine that life will go on as normal. Indeed, I think it will now. With deep gratitude, Gail |
10-27-23 Hello Thank you for the care and comfort you gave my sister Diane today. As traumatic as I t is for her, you showed compassion and understanding which is appreciated more than you know. Explaining the benefits of the 12 clip topper over a wig was such a better choice for her. It might have been six years since we both purchased our hair pieces from you but I would never hesitate to refer and/or recommend you and your products, because you are by far the Best!! Thank you again. Carole |
5-7-23 Dear Studio International Team, I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible impact you had on my life. When I first came to you, I was devastated after losing half of my hair due to a medical condition. I felt like I had lost a part of myself and I was struggling to find the confidence to face the world. But from the moment I walked through your doors, I knew I was in good hands. Your team listened to my story with empathy and professionalism, and they worked tirelessly to find the perfect solution for me. And when they fitted me with the augment piece, it was like a miracle had happened. I couldn't believe how natural and beautiful it looked, and I felt like myself again for the first time in a few years. Since then, my life has completely changed. I can go out in public without feeling self-conscious, and I feel confident and empowered in every situation. I have received so many compliments on my hair, and I always tell people about the amazing work you do at Suudio International. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for changing my life and giving me back my confidence. You truly are the best in the business, and I will always be grateful for what you did for me. I was amazed that I walked out with exactly what I needed Sincerely, Maria |
3-28-23 Thank you for your help yesterday. I am looking forward to wearing these beautiful toppers. We just booked with David at Blake Charles Salon April 7. |
5-9-21 Dear Michael, I have no words to describe my satisfaction and happiness with the care you’ve provided for me. Thanks for your kindness and understanding of my problem making me fell beautiful again. You’re amazing. If you allow me I’d like to send you pictures after a hair cut. Sue |
11-14-20 Hello Michael and Dennis Thank for the fantastic help and guidance on my wig purchase-you are a shing light during dark days-thank you for everything you do! Best, Elizabeth P. |
11-12-20 Hello We wanted to share a very beautiful letter that was sent to us by a long term client, just beautiful! Thank you so much Michael & Dennis. Just want to share something if I could?? I have been using you guys for most of my adult life with my disease. When I was 20 years old, an oversized utility van split my car nearly in half on an expressway in Michigan. Before they hit me, when I could see them coming and that I had no way to avoid the crash, I did something that my surgeon said saved my life: I relaxed. I thought to myself, okay, I just saw my family. They know I love them. This crash is going to be bad. I’m probably going to die now. And I let my body go limp and I just let go and surrendered. When I woke up with two broken bones in my spine and saw the smoke curling up out of the engine, somehow I managed to pull my body out of my car, through a window half open, and crawl out across the highway to an off duty EMT who stopped to help me. Then I passed out. I’m sharing this because I walked away from this experience, from a spinal surgery, 18 weeks of rehab and physical therapy, at 20 years old....with extreme hair loss. The doctors said my body protected my organs and got rid of what it didn’t need and that was my hair. I had beautiful blonde corn silk hair. I was a cutie I swear. When you are female and 20 years old, losing your hair seems like a death sentence. But because I survived that accident, I knew it wasn’t truly a death sentence and I had to find a way to live with out my hair. Since I found you guys I have felt like I had my own hair back. You are always kind. You are always patient. You are always empathetic. And the product you provide at the price you offer has made such an impact on who I am and how I represented myself. This year has been incredibly tough. I’ve learned it’s important to tell the people in your life who make a difference that they do, indeed, make a difference because we are not promised tomorrow. I don’t know you in person. I wouldn’t know your face in a crowd. But for this girl in Tennessee?? You make a difference. I was SO WORRIED that the pandemic may have negatively affected your business and when I called Michael today and got a chance to speak to him and knew you guys were still working hard for your clients, for me, I felt such relief. I get it. It’s hair. It’s only hair. It’s hair my body didn’t need in order to save my other organs. But also, ITS HAIR. and it’s connected to identity and confidence and self worth. And I just wanted to say how much I appreciate this company. Not enough people this year are sharing the good. So I wanted to. I hope that is okay. Thank you for being reliable and comfortable and for persevering thru this year as a company. This is just one persons take on how important you are. I hope it’s good to hear. Sally |
11-6-19 Hi Michael and Dennis, Thanks so much for all your help when I came for my appointment last Friday. With your recommendation, I booked a consultation appointment with David on Friday. Wishing you continued success in your business. Best, Araceli |

7-17-19 Hello Dennis and Micheal, Thank you for your wonderful advice and the lovely wigs I got. I’ll think of you and appreciate your service while wearing them! |
5-1-19 Woohoo! As good as it gets! Michael and Dennis at Studio International are simply outstanding with the service and gracious understanding they provide for anyone in need of their services. Their products are very high quality; one can not even tell it’s a wig. I’ve received many compliments from friends who say, “Wow, like your new hairdo!” I’ve reordered the synthetic wigs several times now,, and am very satisfied with the excellent service, their expert advice and their products. Thank you, Michael and Dennis! You have been so terrific and are a great comfort to countless patients, my dears. Many, many thanks! With aloha and appreciation, Jan |
2-23-19 Thank you for a great visit. I’m confident that my wig will make this transition easier for me. Again, thank you for your time. Ami |
2-9-19 Thank you so much for your help with my new wig and making that whole process as comfortable, educational and painless as possible. Regards, Dorothy |
1-22-19 Yours are the best and everyone who sees mine can’t get over that it isn’t real hair. My best, Sharon |
1-16-19 Your insight and support have been invaluable to my recovery; my daughter and I regard you as partners in our treatment regimen! Alexis |
01-10-19 Hi Michael, I was very impressed with Studio International. The physical setting was private and very professional, which I greatly appreciated, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. I felt much better about wig and hair piece possibilities after talking to you. Thanks for your pragmatic, well-informed advice about the various options. I look forward to working with you in the future. Katy

I was very upset and self conscience over the sudden loss of my hair. Finding Studio International was a God send. The salon/business is set up to provide privacy and confidentiality. I was given guidance on how to work with my insurance to get substantial reimbursement making the process very affordable. The owners spared nothing in designing every component of their wigs and hair pieces. Colors and construction are beautiful and very comfortable to wear. I felt well taken care of and at ease during my appointment. I walked out feeling amazing in my new hair. (It is completely undetectable) Heart felt thanks to Michael and Dennis! |
About 18 months ago I purchased two partial hair systems with comb locks from Michael and Dennis. Prior to that I was using synthetic hair pieces, but found that they did not hold up very long without frizzing at the bottom. It took me several months after purchasing the new pieces from Studio International to start using them because I was attempting to find a good hair stylist familiar with this type of hair system. Eventually I took one of the hair pieces to a hair dresser in the City where I live and she was able to cut and style one piece for me. I'm happy to say that it has worked out so well for me that I just recently had the second piece cut and styled also. I will never go back to the synthetic hair pieces again. I highly recommend Michael and Dennis for the attention they gave to me in finding the right hair system to use and for the quality of the hair pieces they offer. Michael and Dennis are both very knowledgeable and spent a lot of time educating me how to use my hair system and how to care for them. My only issue is that the comb locks are so close together, they sometimes get in the way of each other. I would suggest they leave some separation between them, especially in the front part of the piece. Beyond that, they have my highest praise for the work they do to help women like me. |
6-30-18 Thank You I received them today and beautiful as always. Janet |
6-14-18 To: Studio International Subject: thank you Hi Michael and Dennis, I purchased a wig from you last November, in preparation for losing my hair from chemotherapy. I started wearing the wig right around Christmas and wore it until last week. I just wanted to drop you a note to say how grateful I was for my wig. Once I got used to being seen in it, the wig made it possible for me to do just about everything with confidence. I continued my part-time job managing the local Youth Symphony, I went to concerts and plays, I took a trip to New York in March, and I even bought a car. The wig was comfortable to wear and very natural-looking. Many people just thought I had changed my hairstyle. Thank you so much for providing a quality product that really helps people. Best wishes, Gerry Santa Cruz |

Michael and Dennis, You gave me such a wonderful experience today. I'm still rocking my new do. My husband loves it too. I will gladly give you a exceptional review on yelp. It is wonderful to be a part of what you two gentlemen have built. You both are what I call, "Earth Angels". Although I am extremely grateful to not have had to suffer what most of your other clients have suffered, it is the first time in 35yrs that I feel really confident. Thanks a million, Karen |
I went to Studio International with my mom, who was about to undergo chemotherapy and lose her hair. We'd read all the positive reviews but were still blown away by our experience there. Michael was wonderful--incredibly knowledgeable and full of good advice, but also just really kind and reassuring. We also liked that they have the actual wigs there to try on, not just swatches and a catalog, so you can see exactly what you're getting and walk out with a wig on the spot. And what you're getting is excellent quality and looks amazing--not your grandma's ugly, obvious wig at all. Highly recommended! |
These guys are pros. I unfortunately had to avail myself of their services for a medical issue which caused me to lose my hair... and they were compassionate, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. They even educated me a little on my kind of hair loss! They taught me how to care for the wig and I left feeling confident. |

Thank you so much for the follow up. My Aunt received the wig today. I'm hoping it will help her healing process. You guys are amazing. I can only imagine how busy you all are. I hope you are able to keep doing such a great service to cancer patients like me. Much appreciated. Cheers, Heidi |

Thank you Michael, I really had a good experience this morning and I have an appointment for a hair cut this Saturday already. I am wearing the hair piece since I came home and just love it. Almost makes me not wanting to cut at all lol. |

Dear Michael and Dennis, I wanted to thank you so very much for the dark wig I purchased from you on 9-16-17. I came in with my daughter and stylist. Much has happened since I last saw you. My daughter had her baby boy a week later. I began treatment the following week, and to everyone's surprise after one treatment, my hair was toast, Goobs came out. My hairdresser removed the damage a I have been wearing you wig ever since. The wig is comfortable, looks amazing and I am doing everything you said to care for it so specially. I am so great full for your product. Thank you for helping me during this challenging time. It is so nice to feel and look like myself again. I know our paths my not cross again, but please have a fantastic day and thank you so very much. With much appreciation, Susie |
This has taken me so long to write, but my Aunt was a Studio International client of Dennis & Michael's for over 30 years! She contracted Guillian Barre which left her with essentially no hair in the middle of her successful investment banking career. I pretty much only knew her wearing wigs and for all those years could hardly ever tell. She had many different versions over the years, every one of them glamorous. Dennis & Michael were such good friends of hers and I know she always enjoyed her appointments and time with both. As one of their most faithful clients, I know she would have given them a perfect 10 stars! Continue your amazing work Dennis & Michael!! I miss you both! SS 7-26-18 Shannon, We loved your aunt and her constant companion Bogie (our cats and he had to adjust). Never far from our thoughts, a beautiful person. Thank you, you are a person that we will always hold in our hearts. Thanks Pat for all your advice, forever great full. Not a client, always a friend. We miss you. |

Hello Michael and Dennis, I wanted to thank you both for your time today. It was great meeting you and I truly appreciated your patience, sense of humor and TLC in evaluating the best options for me. I'm hopeful that I can confirm more info this week from my doc/insurance to see what they can do to absorb some of the cost. I have been evaluating many options for several months and you both made me feel like I'm in the hands of true pro's! Sadly, my condition won't improve over time, so I see you as my partners to help me feel and look my best for many years to come :-)! Thanks again and look forward to speaking with you soon. Best, Liz |

Excellent, attentive service. They really take their time with the consultation, making sure you understand the different types of wigs and how to care for them. Their goal is not to sell the priciest wig. Rather, their goal is to help you choose the best option for your budget, facial structure and lifestyle (I'm a working mom and easy, low-maintenance wigs work best for me). Susan M.
