Chemotherapy Wigs in London
Preparing for chemotherapy is overwhelming, and hair loss is one of the parts people dread most. At Simmys Wigs London, we've spent 25 years supporting women and men through cancer treatment with wigs that let them look in the mirror and still see themselves. Our Hendon salon offers calm, private, sensitive appointments — there's no rush, and no pressure.
If you take one piece of advice from this page, let it be this: come and see us before your hair starts to fall out if you can. It makes everything easier.
Why it helps to plan ahead
Coming in before treatment begins means we can match your wig to your natural colour, length and style while you still have your own hair to reference. Many clients find it far less distressing to already have a wig they love ready and waiting, rather than choosing one after the loss has happened.
It also means that when your hair does go, the transition is seamless — friends and colleagues often don't notice anything has changed. That said, if you're already partway through treatment, don't worry: we help clients at every stage, and we'll work from photographs of your previous hair if you have them.
Comfort matters during treatment
Chemotherapy can leave the scalp tender and sensitive, so a comfortable, lightweight cap is essential. We'll guide you towards soft, breathable, glueless constructions that sit gently on a bare scalp and stay secure without irritation. We can also advise on soft headwear and sleep caps for around the home, and on caring for your scalp during treatment.
What we offer
Our real human hair wigs give the most natural, familiar result and can be styled to match exactly how you wore your own hair. Our synthetic wigs are wonderfully practical during treatment — lightweight, low-maintenance, and holding their style with almost no effort, which matters on the days you have little energy. For those experiencing gradual thinning rather than full loss, toppers and bandfalls may be all you need.
Everything in our collection is ready to wear today, with free next-day UK delivery if you'd rather order online and fit at home.

Frequently asked questions
When should I get a wig if I'm starting chemotherapy? Ideally before or right at the start of treatment, while you still have your own hair to colour- and style-match. But we help clients at every stage, so it's never too late to come in.
Will my wig look like my real hair? That's exactly our aim. When we can see or match your natural hair, we cut and style the wig so the change is as seamless as possible — most people around you simply won't notice.
Is a human hair or synthetic wig better for chemo? Both work well. Human hair offers the most natural look and full styling freedom; synthetic is lighter to care for and holds its style effortlessly, which many clients prefer during treatment when energy is low. We'll help you weigh it up.
Does hair grow back after chemotherapy? For most people hair regrows once treatment ends, though it can come back a different texture or colour at first. We're happy to keep supporting you through that regrowth stage too.
Can I claim the cost back or get help? Some clients receive support through their treatment centre or charities. We'll happily talk through your options — please just ask.
