DEMO VIDEOS
There are many custom wig studios...but only one HERO HAIR.
A HERO HAIR custom wig, facial hair application, or hairpiece application, created by either our Custom Cosplay Division, or under our Motion Picture & Television Division, is the state-of-the-art, the highest physical, technological, and creative quality capable of being produced.
Under our studio's renowned Motion Picture & Television Division, our work has appeared prominently in major studio productions such as Warner Bros. Pictures' Barbie, MARVEL Studios' Hawkeye, starring Hailee Steinfeld, 20th Century Studios' production of The Greatest Showman, starring Hugh Jackman (for which HERO HAIR built several of the featured center-ring performance wigs for the characters known as "The Oddities"), Apple TV+'s production of SCHMIGADOON!, and the sequel series (season 2's)"SCHMICAGO!", IMAGINE Entertainment's tick, tick...BOOM!, starring Andrew Garfield, M. Night Shyamalan's SERVANT, the 2021 reboot of HBO's Gossip Girl, and AMC's original series, Dispatches From Elsewhere,, created by & starring Jason Segel, and countless other productions from the small-to-silver screens.
Under our Cosplay Division, your custom piece will be virtually indistinguishable from those we create for our Hollywood productions, yet at less than a fraction of the price, made largely possible through our studio's unique cosplay-client cross-promotion & social media crediting partnerships (see the Pricing & Services page for details) and a bit of magic through our ingenious construction protocols and methodologies.
But what really sets HERO HAIR apart? It's not just uniqueness; it's being the most unique in our industry. Our videos below proudly showcase our pioneering theories, and applied sciences in both the Motion Picture & Television Division and the Cosplay Division. From crafting custom pieces from scratch to our exclusive *Corrective Remastering™ of preexisting works, we demonstrate why HERO HAIR stands out widely recognized as the leading innovative custom wig & facial hair studio working today. The HERO HAIR Difference™ embodies our commitment to the cutting edge of technology, and going beyond excellence in client care. After the videos, explore both our websites to discover more about our extraordinary journey.

Don't Miss Our Studio Sizzle: Discover HERO HAIR's official demo Reel, showcasing both divisions of our studio!
In case you missed it on the home page, we've included our sizzle reel here as well...
The custom motion picture & television pieces and custom cosplay pieces we create are visually indistinguishable, with only imperceptible construction protocols and our uniquely strategic methodologies differentiating the two. These subtle differences, combined with our equally unique cosplay-client cross-promotion & social media crediting partnerships allows us to offer top-notch motion picture quality to our cosplay clientele at a mere fraction of the cost compared to visually identical pieces created for the entertainment industry by our studio.
You will see examples of both divisions' custom pieces in this video, which serves as our calling card to major film and television studios, while also showcasing them for cosplay division inquiries, and as the official introduction to our work."

Defy the "uncanny valley" with HERO HAIR's unparalleled, screen-accurate HERO-Hairline™, exclusive to our studio!
HERO HAIR's cutting-edge theories & methodologies are just some of the countless details that set us apart from any other custom wig studio.

HERO HAIR's exclusively applied science & mastery of this critical detail revolutionizes modern wig technology, dramatically transforming the previously non-believable hairlines prevalent in movies, TV, and the cosplay industry into something virtually indistinguishable from the natural world.
Join us as we demonstrate how this groundbreaking innovation has banished the era of unconvincing illusions, ushering in a new dawn of authentic presentation of the real, defying the uncanny valley with screen-accurate, believable-to-life hairlines, withstanding scrutiny as close as six inches to the naked eye and delivering close-up results under even the most scrutinizing HD camera lenses.
The HERO-Hairline™ eliminates the need for CGI blurs or filters, often used during editing in cosplay photography. All new behind-the-scenes featurette coming Fall 2023!
