wig sellers

[coz-bob]

is there an official title for a wig seller?

[Mr Veritas]

I have never heard a modern word for a wigmaker,BUT
in the olden days a wig was often referred to as a Peruke,and the makers of Perukes were called Perukiers.

Part of the entry says:~
For over a century from the 1660s to the late eighteenth century, fashionable men chose to shave their natural hair and to wear a wig instead. Over this long period, styles changed, but the procedure remained similar, necessitating the regular services of a barber for shaving, and to powder the wig, and a wig-maker or perukier to provide new wigs, maybe once a year, and to restyle used wigs.
