I was wanting to buy a cheap mannequin head so I could get more studio practice. Any ideas of websites?

I had my mother ask the woman who cuts her hair. She found one for me, but it had a buzz cut and some nasty scissor-nose damage.

It's like a maimed Sinéad O'Connor. ;)

KRB has a great looking one

Don't try to confuse me with the facts, my mind is already made up.

For sure.... A couple friends and I have the full size ones.
Did you see the shipping cost? The owner is Dov Brafman and is a great person to deal with.
For the price the products are very good.

I tried to talk a friend into getting this one but he wouldn't go for it.... LOL

The ultimate practice model would be one of the 'real dolls'. :lol:

Any local wig shop will have styrofoam wig heads for around $5, then you can paint them to get an acurate skin color
