Ash Grist Wig Maker

For the past year, I’ve been quietly working with Eva to build - a space that redefines how hair moves through hands, stories, and systems.

It’s been a long time coming, full of learning, planning, and purpose.

& We are almost ready to share it with the world 🤍

I don’t really talk on here much.. I’ve never been very Instagram-y.
I used to think a couple of posts were enough because my work always spoke for itself.

But the world’s changed. And I’ve realised that if I don’t share what I’m building, no one else can tell it the way I can.
So here I am - stepping out of my comfort zone a bit!

When I was little, I once got a certificate for ‘great storytelling’ & my dad calls me Twitter because I never stop talking. Maybe storytelling was always going to be part of what I do.

I was never the kid who knew exactly what they wanted to be when they grew up.. But looking back, every single thing I’ve done has been preparing me for

Hairdressing taught me compassion, and wigmaking taught me discipline.

Every bit of it led here. And now I finally feel like I’m building something that means something.

& I’m so glad I’ve had Eva by my side through it all. she’s taught me to back myself, be a little braver, and stop waiting to feel ready.

So this is me - excited, grateful, slightly terrified but showing up anyway!
Because being scared and brave at the same time is where all the best stories begin 🤍

✨ London ➡️ Iceland ➡️ London ➡️ Scotland!

One of my favorite parts of custom wig making is meeting amazing clients from around the world! This piece was so fun - my lovely client flew in from Iceland for her initial consultation where we cut all her hair off for fun (as you do! 😄)

Created her piece while she was back home, then when flight delays changed our London plans, we had to get creative! Massive thank you to for so kindly letting me use his chair at the airport for the final fitting and fringe trim before my client jetted off to Scotland. Talk about a quick turnaround! ✈️

And special thanks to who had offered her beautiful studio space for our original plan - so appreciated! 🤍

Today felt special 🤍

Teamed up with to make her lovely client a lightweight topper to bring back her confidence. Double knots and fine knotting on top. Mrs C’s reaction was everything.
