Virtual Wig Try On: five questions, one photo, and the wig is on your own face in ten seconds.

A wig consultant sells to women who are often losing their hair to treatment. The app asks how long, what color, straight or curly, what kind of hair and what budget, shows the wigs from the store that fit, and then draws the one you tap onto your own photo. Front, side, back, any color. Free every time, and the photo is never stored anywhere.

Paid Tuesday 8:53pm, live Wednesday 6:13pm All 17 wigs pulled from the store Review call Friday, every change in by Saturday 9:40am

Virtual Wig Try On is live

Open it on your phone. Answer the five questions and see the wigs that fit. The try on itself is for the owner's customers, so it sits behind a sign up.

The challenge
"Try on the wig before you buy, for free." Said on a Tuesday. Working on a Wednesday.

Mequeda runs Mane Stream Consulting: wig sales, consultations and an insurance intake, all already live on the website. The application came in Monday afternoon at 4:51pm. Tuesday we were on the phone with Mequeda and Steven, and the app was described in a very particular order. Three simple questions. Show the styles that match. Tap one and see it on your own face, free. Then buy it from the store, or book a consultation, or find out if insurance covers it.

The offer went out at 4:13pm Tuesday and was paid at 8:53pm. Wednesday at 6:13pm the app was live with all 17 wigs pulled from the store, photos, prices and links back to the exact product page, each one tagged so the questions worked the moment it opened. The photo is never stored, and the app says so on the photo screen, because a lot of these customers want to know before they hand one over.

Friday was the review call. Saturday morning at 9:40am everything from it was in.

What we built
The try on, and everything around it that turns a try on into a sale.

The try on itself

Tap a wig, add a photo, and about ten seconds later it is on your face with a before and after slider. Side and back views and any color, each one drawn on request.

?

Questions that sort the store

Length, color, texture, hair type and budget. The store's wigs are tagged for all five, so the customer only sees what fits, and can change any answer in a tap.

🛡

The insurance path

Many plans cover a wig in full for medical hair loss. The app says you may qualify, names the providers the way the site does, and sends you to the eligibility form without ever asking for a diagnosis or a policy number.

The owner's dashboard

Which wigs get tried on the most, who asked to talk to a real person, every sign up as a spreadsheet. Add a wig, fix its tags, pause the try on, set the daily caps.

The signature feature
Friday's call, in by Saturday morning

The review call was Friday at 10:30. By 9:40 Saturday morning it was a different app, with the same bones. The name became Virtual Wig Try On, and the domain the owner bought, virtualwigs.com, was pointed at it. The sign up moved to the front: name, phone, email and the hair loss question, and every sign up emails the owner and downloads as a spreadsheet. Choosing a photo from the camera roll was fixed, and the photo can be swapped without starting over. Three questions became five, with shoulder length, wavy, hair type and three budget bands. And the big ones: the side and the back, and changing the color on your own face. Toppers and halos came out, it is only wigs, and every one was re-tagged for the new questions. The pictures went over by email the same morning, with the one record the web designer needed to point the domain.
