Best

I have Alopecia and this is probably my 8th wig, so I would say I'm experienced. I worked with Fernando who was terrific...we selected a color and wig and he styled it for me. I...

Worst

Needing a wig as a result of chemo, a friend suggested that I go to Bitz and Pieces. It was a horrible experience from start to finish. The staff were unhelpful, rude and did no...

Barry Hendrickson's Bitz-n-Pieces was great 13 years ago 8/5/2009

I firsthad breast cancer 13 years ago and needed a wig(s) for work as I was undergoing chemotherapy and was only 37 at the time. BItz and Pieces was the place I was referred to. They were wonderful, caring, and I didn't even cry when they shaved my head for the wig. I had ordered the wig weeks before, and when my hair starting coming out in clumps (at work)! I callled them and went in that afternoon. Now, 13 years later, I am going through metastic breast cancer and it's in my brain, so I am going through radiation and will (once again) lose my hair. I have an appointment today with them for a new wig and am hoping they are still as wonderful as they were before. They were very caring and professional (as they should be, given what a hard time this is for people). I wish everyone good luck and good hair! more

No turning back 10/17/2008

I visited Bitz-n-Pieces on March 13th and bought a wig that very day. This place was the first on my list but after being introduced to the process by the receptionist, meeting my stylist and above all listening to their information there was no need to go anywhere else. Pros: quality, service Cons: price, hectic location more

Good Wigs but Bad Service 10/15/2008

I was profoundly disappointed in the customer service. I have rapidly thinning hair but am not a candidate for a full wig yet. I asked about clip on toppers to hide the thinning on top. They are supposed to be known for their wide selection of "Bitz and Pieces:" I was shown one small clip on piece that looked like they picked up cuttings from the floor. I was told that was all they had. They then proceeded to show me a full wig. Again I asked to see others pieces, and was told with attitude that's all they had. I feel like I was being manipulated into spending thousands more than I have to. Pros: good wigs Cons: bad service they are arrogant more

The perfect Piece 10/11/2008

A friend of mine had recommended Bitz and pieces to me, prior to an audition that I had qualified for. My own hair wasn?t quite up to par in terms of the character I wanted to portray (She was more of a long, bouncy, and glamorous type of gal.) So I called, made an appointment, went in and was shown a series of wigs with a sort of lace on them, I think the stylist called them laceline or lacefront?.. Nevertheless, within half an hour I found the perfect piece. My audition was magnificent and yes the producer did mention how good my hair looked, and I doubt he had any idea that it wasn?t mine!! By the way I got the part!! Thanks again!! Pros: Friendly Experienced Staff, High Quality , fast fix! Cons: Parking, cost more

Delighted!! 10/6/2008

Being from Massachusetts and having limited time in NYC, I was delighted with the receptionist attitude of accomidation. She was so friendly and positive, while being taken care of. They escorted me into a private room. What a relief that was since I am sensitive about going bald from medication I am taking. I felt like Cinderrella by the time I left. The staff made me feel special and pampered, not the least of which I had a beautiful head of hair that perfectly fit my personality, original hair color and complimented my facial features. Pros: Friendly, quality Cons: Distance, Parking more

Best Wig Salon in New York City 10/1/2008

When I called for an appointment a very nice person helped me understand how this whole chemo wig thing works. She booked me with a very wonderful Stylist-salesperson that made this unpleasant situation very easy for me. This guy explained just how things go while you are taking treatments. We found just the right color and style for my look. Thank heaven I look and feel like myself. It was a little more than I wanted to spend but worth every cent. The receptionist even explained how to work with my insurance for reimbursement. Pros: Great staff Cons: pricy but worth it more

Pay for a chat about wigs 9/20/2008

Beware of this con. These people seem to count on ripping anyone who comes through the door off for as much as they can. When I called they told me there would be a $35 dollar consultation fee, which I agreed to because I had heard they had a very good selection. When I arrived for my appointment they made me sign a document saying that if I exceeded the 20 minute consultation time I would be charged 35 an hour. They do conspire so that it is impossible to see their selection in the 20 minutes. The salesperson "consultant", chatted me up, left the "consultation" room for at least 10 minutes to find more wigs. When I finally got out of their consultation room they had charged me $100 for seeing 5 wigs, 2 of which were the wrong color. When I complained they were very indignant. I have never heard of a store where one has to pay to shop. Pros: Good quality Cons: Rude,exploitative salespeople more

Fabulous! 6/13/2008

I went to Barry Hendrickson's Bitz and pieces after a perm "accident " which had me feeling beyond down and out, didn?t want to leave the house, see anyone etc. bottom line I had patches of missing hair and needed a quick fix or else I would've been ridiculously bored during my self inflicted house arrest sentence. Nevertheless, I was fortunate enough to be referred to Bitz n Pieces. The first time I was at Bitz and Pieces I had a informative breakdown of my options as well as an opportunity to choose what type of wig I wanted / needed. Of course I was looking for something that closely matched my pre-war(perm) hair, not only were they able to match my hair type/color they had me looking about three times better then usual... Shine, Cut and all.... Just FABULOUS! Pros: easy to get to Cons: Parking more

Attitude 6/6/2008

I went to Bitz-n-Pieces a few times for, so this review is not based on an isolated incident. With the exception of the receptionist, the hair stylist and the owner both seemed to have an attitude. I always like to give people a second, even a third chance since we are all bound to have off days, but I realized after the most recent exchange that their rudeness is their modus operandi. It's too bad because I really like their quality merchandise and would like to have continued giving them my business. I even contacted the hospital where I had first heard of the store, and they said that they have similar complaints and that they would consider removing the store from their list. I don't want others who are in a vulnerable situation like myself to be taken advantage of. Pros: Selection and quality merchandise Cons: Attitude of stylist and owner more

The best thing about cancer! 2/27/2008

I have a feeling that cdninny got this place confused with somewhere else. I can't say enough AMAZING things about this salon. I am a 5 time cancer survivor and Bitz N Pieces has made my last 5 years battling cancer a much more positive experience. I can't say enough good things about Edward, Barry, J.T., and the entire team. They have made a challenging experience as easy to manage as possible. The knowledge that they have re: the hair loss process associated with chemotherapy treatments and the personal touch that they give every client goes above and beyond what I ever expected. I keep on telling them that it will be bitter sweet when I am done with cancer and my hair grows back...I dont' want to stop visiting them! I have recommended them to many people and can't say enough good things! more

It's a gem! 2/21/2008

I am a four year breast cancer survivor and since losing my hair, during chemotherapy, I have had an ongoing relationship with Barry Hendrick's Bitz N Pieces. I live in Westchester County and after doing exhaustive research, having ridiculous appointments with so called professionals who charged absurd prices and trying on hair pieces that made me look like a cross between the family dog and the winner of the biggest hair in Texas contest, I found a truly professional wig salon. more

BEWARE 12/13/2007

They charge for consultation even it they do not have the type of hairpiece you need. My almost 80 year old mother made an appointment for a consulation (they advised she can use the consultation fee towards the purchase of a hairpiece). She arrived early and when (who she later found out was) the owner arrived, he wouldn't let her in because he said they wouldn't be open for 15 minutes. He said she should go get a cup of coffee. When she returned and began her consultation she said she wanted real hair, her color (grey) to fill in sparse spots. The stylist told her they did not make hair pieces in her color. When she checked out they had the nerve to charge her for the consultation. There never should have been a consultation since they do not make her hair color! When I asked to speak to the person in charge, the owner came out in a manner I can only describe as huffy and said that my mother had to pay the consultation fee, that it was too bad they didn't have what she wanted more
