About This Class
Ms. LaRue is known for having some of the biggest, baddest hair in the biz, having over a decade of experience in the art of drag and burlesque. In this class she will guide those who are newer to wearing hairpieces and wigs through the often daunting steps of selecting, wearing, and simple styling of artificial hair pieces.
