ABOUT THE "WIG STYLING" WORKSHOP

Take a stand against flat, unstyled, unmotivated wigs and tease that wig until it has real character, volume, and life!

In this beginner-friendly workshop, Sally Limón leads you through the essential foundations of big drag hair: properly blocking your wig, building a strong base tease, shaping and smoothing your style, and setting the hairline so everything looks polished, intentional, and full of personality. Sally balances clear demonstrations with generous hands-on time, giving participants space to experiment, ask questions, and develop confidence with the tools and techniques.

Whether you’re brand new to wig styling or ready to level up your drag transformations, you’ll leave with a styled wig—or a fierce start you can keep refining at home—and the core skills to build bigger, bolder, and campier hair in the future.
