Wig Shopping at Frobishers , A Fabulous Experience by Theresa
‘If you’re looking for a new wig, I highly recommend Frobisher Wigs in Ipswich. Overwhelmed by online choices, I booked a £40 consultation with Frobishers and asked them to order in a couple of additional of styles that they don’t usually stock, just for me to try.
From the warm welcome, to the private fitting room with great lighting and mirrors, the experience felt personal and professional. I tried several wigs with the help of two lovely consultants who offered honest, helpful feedback. One style stood out, and I also picked up some headwear and glue. As I had made a purchase, the consultation fee was deducted from my final bill.
All in all, a fun, friendly, and successful visit—definitely worth it!’
In a change to the advertised programme; Oasis is delighted to confirm that Frobishers will be present at our Oasis meeting on Saturday 19th July 2025.

Saturday 31st May – 6:30pm – 8:30pm. Join Suffolk Pride for a vigil in the centre of Ipswich at The Cornhill, Ipswich, IP1 1DH. This event will include speeches from local charities and organisations, and a choir performance from Elizabeth Hospice before ending with a march through the town.
