The Fortune Journey
Real stories, gentle guidance, and support for women navigating hair loss, medical treatment, and the journey of feeling like themselves again.
A Personal Message From Esther
Since 1998, I’ve had the privilege of meeting and helping women through some of life’s most emotional and difficult seasons.
Over the years, I’ve learned that hair loss is never “just hair.”
It can affect confidence, comfort, identity, and the way a woman feels when she looks in the mirror each morning.
And yet, so many women quietly carry those emotions alone.
The Fortune Journey was created to be a place of comfort, understanding, and support — filled with real stories, gentle guidance, and reminders that no woman has to walk through this journey by herself.
Whether you are just beginning this process or have been navigating it for some time, I hope this space brings you encouragement, confidence, and peace of mind.
With love,
Esther Tobias
Founder, Fortune Wigs

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you really offer a no-questions-asked return?
Absolutely. We want you to shop with complete peace of mind — not second-guessing yourself. If it's not the right fit, simply return it unaltered within 10 days and we'll take care of the rest. No questions, no stress.
What does the free wash & set include?
Think of it as your welcome gift from us. Every purchase comes with a complimentary wash and set by our salon team — so your wig arrives looking exactly the way it should. Redeem it in-store at Brooklyn or Lakewood, or simply mail it in and we'll send it back fresh and styled.
What kind of support do you offer after I purchase?
We don't disappear after the sale — that's just not who we are. Our team is always here for a question, a styling tip, or just a little reassurance. Whether you call, email, or stop by the salon, you'll always find a friendly face ready to help. We've been doing this since 1998 and we genuinely love what we do.
How does the consignment program work?
When you're ready for something new, you can bring your gently used Fortune, Tuni, or Mazali wig back to us and we'll handle the rest. Once it sells through our Consignment Shoppe, you walk away with 40% of the sale in cash — or 80% as store credit. It's a beautiful way to close the circle.
Do I get a discount on my next wig when I consign?
Yes — and we love being able to offer this. Consign your wig with us, and you'll receive 20% off your next new piece. It's our way of making the next chapter a little easier and saying thank you for trusting us with your journey.
I'm going through hair loss. How do I know which wig is right for me?
We understand — and we want you to know you're in the right place. This process can feel overwhelming, and it's okay to take your time. Esther and our team have walked alongside thousands of women through hair loss, and we approach every conversation with patience, warmth, and zero pressure. Reach out whenever you're ready. We're here.
