Guys.
I just have to show you a brand-new piece I got from Serenity’s Wigs and Toppers. I know how you are always on the lookout for affordable human hair options!
I don’t often reviews things just for the sake of reviewing them (there’s enough of that kind of info out there if you strictly enjoy review information)…instead, I like to bring you styles that are a little different…at least to me.
Maybe they fulfill a needed price point.
Maybe there are interesting colors
Maybe there are features that are new or not-quite-understood by us common folk.
What void does Serenity’s Wigs and Toppers fill?
Her pieces are absolutely gorgeous, the hair seems smooth as silk, the price point is mighty fine, AND SHE DOES CUSTOM ORDERS.
She carries plenty of stock, too. 🙂
And yes…I have a coupon code for you!! Hair discounts are the best discounts, after all. More on that at the bottom of the post.
Here’s a color sneak peek of my new piece:
I’m not lying when I said this picture took my breath away.
Before we get into the nitty gritty, I want to tell you a bit about my interaction with Melissa, the owner, because she is fabulous.
First off, she’s kind of someone that you just want to be friends with (is that weird??). She’s kind and understanding and has a knack for knowing what you are trying to say when you can’t quite express your needs properly…and that happens often when discussing my wishlist.
We talked about length, construction, the type of highlights I like, where I part my hair and exactly how far over, etc.
While she offers colors in all tones, she’s an ashy girl at heart…which, of course, made me super-happy. 🙂
She’s seen my go-to color before (10H16 from Jon Renau), and felt that she could closely duplicate it in my piece.
Serenity Wigs and Toppers Specs
Here’s what we decided on for my topper:
– Length: 20”
– Density: Standard 125-130%
– Color: Annice with root/lowlight 5 (dark ashy blonde with medium-brown roots)
– Base: 8×8, silk top
– Hair type: Brazilian (she works exclusively with Brazilian hair, I believe)
– Customizations: No comb in front, add poly rim
From a topper perspective, Serenity Wigs and Toppers specializes in clip-in toppers that you integrate your own front hair into, but she can also add a lace front if you don’t have a strong hairline or prefer not to integrate.
She can also add more clips, add a ton of poly stripping (I only added one strip at the front), add/remove combs, add additional density, and probably a few other options.
Almost anything you want, you can get.
Here is the inside of the base:
You can see the poly strip/rim at the front, although it’s black and a bit hard to see against the base material.
This video talks more about the piece plus you can see it on…I’ll also include some more pics after the video.
As I mentioned in the video, I also have a 14” dark brown with highlights topper available for a Hair Try-On in the CH&M private Community…members are loving it!!
(Want more info on the Community? Read about it and the Hair Try-On feature, here.)
Both colors are very dimensional and look just like you would have your own hair professionally colored.
You know how some human hair comes with bold streaks of highlights that look like they were just clumped together and sewn in?
Not the case here. Let’s look at the colors up close:
Every color I’ve seen from Serenity Wigs and Toppers is literal perfection. Check out a few of these examples I swiped from her Instagram page:
Ok, and here’s a few pics of the piece on me. My bio hair is just a tad longer than I would like with this piece, so I’ll need to give myself a trim.
If you watched the video, you’ll remember that in the course of my filming the skies opened up and it started to pour, so my natural light all but disappeared.

I’m already planning my next piece! I’d like to go a tad bit darker (maybe add more lowlights? I can obviously do that on my own), a smidge longer, and add a touch more density.
Which of her pieces are you eyeing? I’d love to know what’s on your wishlist!
I have synthetic hair toppers from Godiva Secret wigs and they are shiny. Is this human hair piece shiny? I do use dry shampoo as you suggested but am looking for one with the least amount of shine I can purchase. This piece is very pretty on you and I just love it! Thanks for all your great advice Lauren!
Hi, Lauren!
Serenity is my favorite! I’m lucky enough to be local and was able to meet Melissa and try on back in January. I have bought 2 toppers (Marie and Stella) from her so far and planning on a 3rd very soon.
Would love to join your TryOn Community – will you eventually be open to new members?
Love Annice on you – just beautiful and I agree – Serenity’s quality is excellent!!!!
Hi Lisa, I’m way jealous you got to meet her in person! She and I talked about meeting up if I’m ever in the area – I’d love to chat with her in person. As for the Community, things have gotten insane with working and homeschooling and everything else right now. Maybe when things calm down.
How big is the silk top for you to get such a deep side part? It looks amazing.
Hi if I purchase a stock piece from Serenity do you know if I’m able to sew in a poly strip on a silk base topper? I usually tape the front. I’m new to the silk base toppers and would appreciate any help before shelling out the $$
Hi! A strip could be sewn in afterwards, but from what I understand it’s a bit of a complicated process. I personally could not do it. 🙁 Do you have a place in-town that offers this service?
How do you color your natural hair? How does someone color their own hair to match a topper?
Hi, I do not, personally! I find you can go a few shades darker underneath and it looks natural since the sun hits and lightens the top layers only. You can definitely color your natural hair, however…and you would do so just as you would if you were coloring roots to match the colored hair shaft – just match your hair to the hair piece.
Uau, what a discount. I mean are you serious? This is not 100 dollars topper, it cost fortune. And 25 dollars- you are making fools and that’s understatement. 🤮
If you prefer to pay full price, have at it, Martina. 🙄🙄
That is beautiful. I will definitely check it out. I have been wearing toppers for about 2 years and have experimented with my lower cost ones like cutting and thinning (ruined a few). That’s how we learn and now I do that with older ones. I like the customization especially the base size. It seems Like I keep going bigger and bigger.
That coloration looks fabulous on you, Lauren! Sooooo pretty.
The highlighting on this piece looks so much more natural than your usual pieces. Maybe you would get more volume and evenness if you parted it closer to the middle instead of your usual deep side part, somewhere in between your usual spot and the middle. Good color on you!
Apart from the rooting, the highlighting is a dead ringer for what I wear daily! And no…while of course I can add volume that way, I’m not a candidate for center or off-center parts. 🙂
This topper looks fabulous on you! I love the slightly ashy lighter highlights for a nice change- very brightening! And I actually think the slightly less density looks very natural and flattering!
I’m 67 now and am quite fair, blue-eyed and with naturally very light ashy blonde hair. I’ve been wearing platinum blonde human hair toppers (I tone color 613 with purple conditioner) and have begun adding a slightly darker root and some subtle ashy lowlights for more realism. Recently I bought an ashy-rooted honey blonde topper for a change, and while friends and family like it, I feel that the slightly darker color isn’t as brightening on my aging face. So I’m going to check out Serenity for some light ashy blonde toppers! Thanks as always for your tips and support, Lauren!
Everyone always says that when I wear lower density but I just can’t help it, I like bigger hair. 🙂 Yes, definitely check her out to see if she has or can do a pale blonde!
Absolutely gorgeous!
Thanks, Sharon!
