I think my fall is from her. It was on sale so I didn't expect anything fantastik. Still, it's about 3 years old & seems quite nice.

I have a few from her and have been happy. I paid $2400 for a curly sheitel from someone very known for curly and $1,000 for a curly fall from her (this other woman charged $1900 for the fall) and I liked Chany's one zillion times better and it's also held up a lot better. She has different quality hair and is very honest about what she is giving you. She has also always been accommodating to fix things if they needed fixing.

I have a fall that was from chany's wigs on coney island bet. j&k about 6 years ago. is this the same person?

I don't think this chany is at that location anymore, but I have to say that I still have the fall, and the hair is just so soft and silky all these years later! I do have to convert it to a hat fall though because I trashed the top of it by wearing it with a hat like 50 times this winter.

She's now on M & 17th in a salon (I forgot the name) and also out of her home in Monsey. It's the same Chany.

thanks everyone. anyways the reason I was asking was I as well got a fall there 6 years ago and am extremely happy with it--I still get compliments it never frizzes. After going in the rain with it I put it on the head and it drys withouit getting frizzed.

I am looking now for a new full wig and went there today. Chany told me that the prices of unprocessed hair went up?? and for what I wanted to spend (up to 1000) I can only get processed--has anyone had experience with processed hair? It looked and felt great!!

Also how is the person who cuts--I think her name is natasha? is she good?

I have 3 Chany wigs, a full, a band fall and a hat fall. They are all curly. I am thrilled with my wigs.
My oldest one is almost 5 years old, still looks great, maybe not as curly as it originally was.
I wouldnt say she is the highest quality wig, but nonetheless I think she does a great curl for a reasonable price.
I have never had her lady cut mine, I ended up getting it cut by Lauren Eisenberg.
I have no idea what processed hair means.

I am not looking for curly I am looking for straight. processed means they strip the cuticle and then color it etc

also she said if I do not cut it by her she will not back it

Hmm I didnt know about this backing thing.... whatever..
Anyways, I have no experience with straight, it is a totally different story sorry

I just bought a straight, processed one. I went in willing to spend more money but she found me something that I liked that was a lot less and since it was my first straight one and I wasn't sure if I was going to commit to it (I usually wear curly) I didn't mind spending on the lower priced one. So far so good but I haven't had it that long. Natasha cut mine and she did exactly what I wanted so I'm happy.

I have two. I love them both. She is very honest about what she sells, she tells you if the hair is refined or not, I would go for the non refined, because its so much nicer. (I hate refined hair, It doesn't hold up, and its limp)

She can be a bit abrupt, and has a Russian attitude, but she is honest and fair, I never had a problem dealing with her!

what length--and if you feel comfortable telling how much was the wig? how long do you have it and does it frizz

Spend more and get a chany unprocessed!

I have two full shaitels form her. One is five years old - has only ever been washed ONCE!! I wear it around 3-5 times / week. Ppl ask me why I don't cover my hair.. Hair is still the same colour, silky, smooth, doesnt frizz or knot.
