The Sage Wig
Lightweight & Breathable
Meet Sage
-
The Sage Wig was born in the summer of 2021, inspired by the need for a lightweight, breathable wig that’s perfect for the beach, workouts, or everyday wear. Through Kristin’s own chemo journey she set out to create a casual, easy-to-wear alternative to traditional wigs—something cool, custom, secure, and stylish.
Through months of hands-on experimentation and design refinements, she launched the first sellable Sage Wig in the summer of 2022. By mastering a custom wefting process and using ethically donated 100% human hair, Kristin created a product that blends comfort, durability, and natural beauty.
At first unfamiliar with the shady side of the human hair industry, Kristin dove deep into researching sustainable sourcing, ethical practices, and wig construction. Her journey reflects a growing commitment to quality, transparency, and continuous improvement. Today, she remains dedicated to perfecting the Sage Wig, offering a hand-crafted, natural-looking wig tailored for active individuals seeking both function and style.

There are two different ways the Sage Wig can be worn.
First way - To wear with a yoga band you first place velcro to back nape of head and pull hair upward into a ponytail or bun and put yoga band over hairline.
Second way - To wear with a hat you place velcro to forehead with hair lying downward, then put hat on.
-
The Sage Wig styled in a ponytail or bun, can be worn with a visor or a floppy beach hat that is open on the top.
Kristin recommends leaving your Sage Wig intact when it’s taken off so that you can just pop it on and be out the door when you want to wear it next!
Leave your velcro connected at all times to avoid hair getting stuck in it.

Client Testimonial
Navigating breast cancer treatment comes with so many emotional hurdles, and one of the hardest for me was the fear of losing my hair. From the moment I stepped into Beautiful Me Salon, I felt supported, seen, and understood. Kristin, the owner and stylist, is not only incredibly skilled but also deeply compassionate—having walked this journey herself as a breast cancer survivor.
Kristin helped me select a beautiful synthetic wig that fit both my style and comfort. But what meant the most to me was her ability to make a custom wig using my own hair. The emotional impact of being able to preserve a part of myself in such a tangible way is something I’ll never forget. Kristin treated the entire process with such care, respect, and empathy.
She is open-minded, friendly, and creates a safe space where vulnerability is met with warmth and empowerment. I cannot thank her enough for helping me reclaim a sense of control and confidence during such a difficult time. If you are going through cancer treatment—or supporting someone who is—Kristin and Beautiful Me Salon are a true gift.

FAQ’s
How do I care for the Sage Wig?
You will use all of the same hair products that you would use on your bio hair. You can shampoo the Sage Wig every couple weeks, then deep condition and let her air dry. Since the hair is not receiving your natural scalp oils, it is beneficial to add Moroccan oil to the hair shaft weekly.
Can I curl and style the hair?
Yes, you can use hot tools on the Sage Wig because it is human hair. You will always want to use a heat protectant before curling or straightening. You can use a blow dryer once hair has air dried 80%.
Will any hair shed from the Sage Wig?
Yes, slight shedding will happen with the Sage Wig with brushing and styling. It is very important to use a wide, bristle, brush or comb so that you don’t stress the hair.
Will the Sage Wig fall off if I go boating or ride in a convertible?
The Sage Wig is very secure on the head and with the added yoga band in place it adds extra security. I have gone boating, rode roller coasters, swimming, convertible rides, hiking, exercising, and deep-sea fishing wearing Sage Wig, and I have never worried that she would come off.
