LucilleSmiles

I decided to change my username from Aschenvogel to LucilleSmiles. I still like Aschenvogel and I'm quite attached to it, but the fact that no one could pronounce nor recognize it has bothered me for quite some time. That aside, LucilleSmiles is my username for most of my social networking accounts and it's easier to have them all under the same name.

I had hoped I could be more active here now that I'm back in the UK, but I simply have no photographer here to take pictures (nor any fabric stores nearby), so that has to wait until next week. Then I'll be going to LONDON MCM EXPO, at least on Saturday! Hope to see you there!

You'd do me a great favor if you could recommend this entry to your friends!



What is this? 2012 is an expensive year for me, so I'm offering commissions for wigs, costumes and props. Watch this space for more commission offers soon.

Who are you? I have been cutting & styling wigs since 2007, it's always been something I enjoyed doing and found relatively easy. Above you can see several examples of wigs I have cut & styled during the last few years.

What are the prices? I take $10 - $30 for the cutting and styling itself. Packaging and shipping depends on the country of destination and size / weight of the wig. I will be shipping parcels from the UK (and, from July, from Germany).

To UK: £3.00 to £4.00

To most EU countries: £5.00 to £6.00

To USA: £7.00 to £10.00

Please enquire for other destinations.

I would like to take you up on this offer, what do I do now?

1. Please leave me a tumblr / DeviantArt message, so I can send you my email address.

2. Please send me a good picture of the character you would like to cosplay as. I will let you know whether I accept the order (there are some styles I simply do not have the equipment for) and the price category your order would fall into.

3. Now you can EITHER send me a proposal for a base wig OR I can offer you three different wigs ranging in price and quality.

4. If you accept, I will ask you to order the wig and send it to my address.

5. As soon as I receive the wig, I will notify you, take a picture of the unstyled wig and ask you to pay for the styling and shipping via PAYPAL.

6. I will style the wig within two days and send you a picture.

7. I will ship the wig the next weekday.

8. Please notify me when you receive the wig!

There may be reasons why I can't ship wigs in large letters, e.g. if they are very spiky. You can either choose to have it shipped in a parcel or with less hairspray. I will then leave instructions, if you would like, on how to give it the finishing touch!

Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions or concerns! I'd be glad to discuss what you need in detail and make sure you feel comfortable with trusting me with your wig. This is my tumblr account and this is my CosplayIsland account!

All the pictures in this article belong to their respective artists and photographers. I found most of them on google / my personal galleries and do not wish to claim them as my own.

Waiting at the airport in New Jersey. I will be back home in a day! Yay.

Feature!
