Wigs by Vanity is a premier wig service founded in 2003 by renowned drag performers Vanity Faire and Courtney Act. Established with the mission to provide high-quality, professional-grade hair specifically for the drag, theatre, and cosplay communities, the company is widely credited with pioneering the “one-size-fits-most” lace front wig designed for stage performance. Their selection focuses on premium synthetic fibres that mimic the movement and appearance of human hair while maintaining pre-styled shapes through heavy wear. The catalogue features a diverse range of styles, from the voluminous “Über Riah” and “Ultimate Vanity” lines to specialised “Glam ‘n’ Go” pieces and “Pamela” toppers. Their wigs are categorised by cap construction, including their signature “Stage Lace”—a durable, reinforced lace designed for heavy adhesive use and rigorous performance—and more delicate “Swiss Lace” for a film-quality, invisible hairline.

What truly stands out about Wigs by Vanity is its deep connection to drag culture and its “for queens, by queens” ethos. The brand gained international fame when its co-founder, Courtney Act, showcased the products on RuPaul’s Drag Race, and the company has since supplied hair to top-tier performers worldwide, including RuPaul. Beyond just retail, the company offers extensive “Wigapedia” resources and video tutorials to teach customers how to properly apply, style, and maintain their pieces. Each wig often features unique, pop-culture-inspired color names like “Illegally Blonde,” “Midnight Star,” and “Miss Australia,” adding a personal touch that reflects the founders’ theatrical roots. This combination of technical durability, professional design, and community-focused education has made them a cornerstone of the global drag industry.
