An Appointment with Mr. Robert

“An Appointment With Mr. Robert” is a light-hearted peek into the hidden world of custom-made hairpieces.

Mr. Robert is the master craftsman seen meeting with a private client, and we are taken through the entire hand-made process from mold making to final fitting. Close-up views include the sophisticated skills of hair color matching, threading one hair at a time and the final shaping to sculpt the perfect wig that will be virtually invisible.

Filmed at a NYC atelier that has been making hairpieces for famous stars of film, stage and TV for over 50 years.
