Outfitters Wig opened on the boulevard in 1969 under Ms. Angie, the original owner. Bebe McPherson learned the trade at her side and now runs the shop — still hand-finishing wigs for stages, screens, and everyday realness. A working theatre, salon, and gallery as much as a boutique. Drag queens, opera singers, cancer patients, RuPaul’s Drag Race contestants, and your next-door-neighbor get the same room and the same care.
Beauties of Hollywood Boulevard is supported, in part, by the Vincent C. and Pamela A. Immordino Charitable Foundation and the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, LA County Department of Arts and Culture and as part of Creative Recovery LA, an initiative funded by the American Rescue Plan and the California Small Business COVID-19 Relief Grant Program as funded by the State of California and administered by CalOSBA, and in partnership with Outfitters Wig, Hollywood’s Finest since 1969.
