Hi Coco, I love your wig reviews and the way you present them. You get right into it without a lot of unnecessary chatter. And, all the wigs look so good on you; you have a special knack for getting each one to look stylish and very wearable. That is so important because some wigs come out of the box looking pretty sad and unwearable. You do your magic and create a beautiful look. And it doesn’t hurt that you have beautiful bone structure, a gorgeous smile and a great attitude. Thank you for such encouraging content. You are very talented. Many thanks from lark🤗🤙👩🦳❤️
Oh thank you for your wonderful compliments and encouraging words! I certainly enjoy doing these reviews and love helping others. It's good to know that I'm accomplishing those goals! Thank YOU so much for watching, sharing and being a wonderful part of my TH-cam community! Hugs ~ Coco
I have had Calla-A for several years in 8/27/4. When I got her, I didn’t like her at all so back in the box she went. At that time, I was only dabbling in wearing a wig. Flash forward to more hair loss and wearing helper hair became a necessity. So I dug poor little Calla out of the box and wore her to work one day. I was talking age with one of my male clients and he was complaining about being old (I think he was in his early 50’s). I said you’re still a baby, I’m 72. He said “You’re not old, you’re hot!” Made my day! I think I’ll be wearing Calla more now, especially after watching this video! 😊 Keep up the great reviews, Coco! Blessings. Cecilia
That's wonderful, Cecilia!!! Isn't it amazing how our own perception can be a little off? Enjoy this memory and let it direct your thoughts in the future!!! Hugs! ~ Coco
Coco, you are a hoot! Love your sense of humor and giggles! I am so glad to see this JS review. I have wondered how this wig would look. You help so much!! Thanks, as always. Hugs from Cookie
Hi Cookie! Soooooo glad that my videos are helpful and that you don't mind my silliness! Sometimes I get carried away and can't stop being silly! It's just so much fun to make these videos and know that you're out there watching! Thanks for being such a wonderful part of my TH-cam community! Hugs, Coco
Hi Sandy! Calla is one of my favorite summer wigs! I have her in 14/26A. She has held up great. You can really get some lift on her if you want. I always get complements when I wear her. Thanks for showing her in the grey color! I may have to get a new one! Have a good week!
She is so classic for summertime fun! And perfect for any wig wardrobe! Thanks so much for watching and sharing, Terry Sue!! You have a great week! Hugs, Coco
Great review...great ideas (especially like what you did with the hot air brush). I have Calla (as in calla lilly?) in silver starlet. Have you ever had a wig that you put on 1 day and love, then another day wonder what on earth you were thinking? Calla is like that for me. Guess I'm just not " shaggy" some days. Lol.
Ohmygosh, Mary!!! YESSS!!!!! I have days like that all the time, with all kinds of styles and it drives me crazy! LOL!!! I just have to move on to another wig to try on and see what looks right for that day! So glad to know I'm not the only one with this "disorder!" (Misery loves company!!) Thanks so much for watching and sharing! Hugs, Coco :o)
You should! I bet she's very pretty in that beautiful color! You'll enjoy having her for the summer! Thanks so much for watching and sharing! Hugs ~ Coco
Another great review. I have Calla in blond color. Haven't worn her yet. Needed a light wig for work as I wear a headset for 8 hours daily at work. I haven't been able to style her yet. You gave me so many tips . Thanks. I will try this week. You are absolutely amazing. ❤
Good morning ❤❤❤❤ love your laughter and smile. Wishing you a very Happy 4th of July for you & your family. Thank you for showing your ideas of styling the Calla wig.
Thank you, Loretta!!! I hope you and your family had a safe and pleasant 4th as well!!! I am so happy you're enjoying my videos! Is there any topic or wig you'd like to see that I haven't covered? Thanks so much for watching and sharing! Have a great weekend! Hugs, Coco 😊
Oh thank you! Yes, she's in that same shaggy family! Lots of wigs are of this style and they're so popular (it's obvious why!) Thanks so much for watching and sharing! Hugs ~ Coco
Hey Sandy! I love your wig reviews, the only thing is that when I buy a wig you’ve reviewed I have to have it in a dark color. Blonde is NOT my color. But I noticed one thing about the wigs that I get, they are different. The fibers on your wigs seem to be lighter than the fibers on mine. I got the Phoebe wig and I can’t get it to do the same things that you could! I can’t get it to fluff up. I like a lot of volume and it just won’t work on the one I got. I’m thinking that maybe the color has something to do with it???
Hi Martie! I think you might be right with your guessing about the fibers being different in different colors. I've even ordered duplicate wigs and the fibers have been different! I have found that in these cases, I just return the wig and reorder another one a little later (a month or two) because it could be a batch problem from the factory. I know it's a pain, but that usually solves the problem. Have you tried doing that? Hugs, Coco
Awww, thank you! I wish we had an opportunity to meet f2f at some point! There's so many of you (my viewers) that I've come to "know" and love!!! We'll just have to keep in touch here for the meantime! Thanks so much for watching and sharing!!! Hugs, Coco
It seems like the 1- and 2-star reviews on the PY website are from 2020, so they must have fixed whatever problem there was because this is adorable. I'm thinking of using it to go into fall, actually. I might go a shade darker than usual for the winter. I usually wear pecan delight but I'm thinking of caramelized brown. I'm growing my bio hair out and need a transition from pixie to medium curlable topper.
That is a great idea for using it for the transition--so clever! You might also think about the auburn sugar rooted. It's a great color if you like the burgundy/wine tones with blonde/copper highlights! Thanks so much for watching and sharing! Hugs, Coco
Hi. It looks so cute when you spray it with water. What happens when it dries? Does it stay the way you fixed it? I have this exact wig but I never got it to look as cute as you did.
On this girl, she would need a little help from hair spray to keep her there, but she could be trained! try it!!! 🤗 And thanks so much for watching!!! Hugs, Coco 😊😊
If there is not as much white, is there more silver? does it read warm or cool..in your video it reads warm. also what kind of hot air brush do you use? I love JS wigs..the lace and size fits me great. I am a petite, and do cinch them in. TIA for answers and all you do!!
This still registers cool, but instead of being as bright white/silver, it was looking a bit grayer (but still cool). I love JS wigs, too, Such nice construction and comfort along with a good price point! Thanks again for watching and sharing! Hugs, Coco
Hi Coco! Love this style, but the dark root looks harsh for me. Reminds me of Freedom by Godiva Secret Wigs. I’ll check other colors although gray is my go to. Thank you! 11:10
She is available in all the other PY colors (including grays) without dark roots, so you should be able to find one that's perfect for you! Thanks so much for watching and sharing! Hugs! ~ Coco
Great review as always and i usually love shag wigs, but there just seems to be something "off" about this one...i am not sure what it is...i think the bang being kinda weird or the long nape...i do like the stays in the nape as i wish others had that so it would hug my neck and not flip up...😂 you look great in it but i think i would pass on it...something is just not balanced on it...😊Too much "bang for the buck" as they say! Lol! I do have a hot airbrush but i think maybe her layers are too long on top to give me the look i want.❤
She's definitely another version of a popular cut/style. A bit shorter on top and longer at the nape. This girl will look good on some people and not on others for the exact reasons you stated! So, it's a good thing for those people who can't wear the other versions! Thanks so much for watching and sharing! Hugs ~ Coco
Thanks for the suggestion, Fannie! I'll be sure to adjust it--but it won't show up in my videos until February. I've got videos already recorded and schedule from now til then! Thank you so much for watching and sharing! Have a great weekend!! Hugs, Coco
It’s a thinner, shorter all the way around except at the nape. I would recommend watching this video again and then watch my freedom video right after it and that way, you can see very clearly the differences. I hope this helps! And thanks so much for watching. Hugs, Coco
Why are you not shaping the wig like it was shown parted on the left and bangs across the forehead? It doesn’t look spikey in the brochure pic but razor cut. I like the wig as it’s originally styled. But that’s my preference and I’d get it in the Wildflower color which I think would look more natural.
Hi Lauren! I went back and looked at my video and I do style her parted on the left and bangs across the forehead from 3:44 - 6:03. But as you can see, there is not very much to the bangs at all--they're wispy at best and uneven. I also curl the bangs with my hot air brush so that they lay better across the forehead at 10:49. I think what makes it not look like the picture in the catalog is the fact that this wig is cut shorter than what we see in the picture. The hair on the front, top and crown is definitely shorter and doesn't lay down. I also know this because this particular wig has been the 4th edition of Calla that I have ordered and received. The first one I received and she looked great, just like the picture. But I didn't care for her and sent her back. That was 3 years ago and at that time I wasn't making videos. So when I began making videos, I ordered her again (almost 2 years ago!). She was so short I could see through the wefts and returned her right away. I waited 6 more months and reordered her. She came the exact same way. So I decided wait again, and order her again. This is her. She's shorter than the first one I received and she didn't seem to have the length that would lay her down. I'm sorry that you were disappointed in my review. Hopefully you have been able to receive a version of her in the exact style and more natural color than I was able to get. Thank you so much for being a part of my TH-cam community and for all your wonderful comments and suggestions. You have a blessed Holiday Season!!! Hugs, Coco 😊
Yes, I'm sure you could add a bit of height if you wanted to! The nice thing is that there's not too much permatease so you can wear her with less volume too! Thanks so much for watching and sharing! Hugs, Coco
You're close--Freedom is a lot longer on top and on the sides than this girl. But basically it's another version of this popular hairstyle! 🤗 Thanks so much for watching!!! Hugs, Coco 😊😊

You are very welcome, Kathy! And Thanks so much for watching and sharing! Hugs ~ Coco
I think I’m going to buy Calla. Looks easy to wear. Thanks for this review. JS here I come.
Hope you like it! I think she's a great little wig! Thanks so much for watching, BobbieJo! You have a great week! Hugs, Coco
Hi, Calla looks very cute , I have one in Carmalized Brown Rooted, I have never really worn. This video makes me want to work with her and wearing!
You should! I bet she's very pretty in that beautiful color! You'll enjoy having her for the summer! Thanks so much for watching and sharing! Hugs ~ Coco
I love Jacklyn Smith wigs. This one is adorable. Great review
Thank you, Debbie and thanks so much for watching and sharing! Hugs ~ Coco
Greetings Coco! Oh yes, yes, yes!! I really like her. Thank goodness the nape is longer for my hairline! Love and blessings ♥️🙏
Greetings Jean!!! If you like a longer nape, you're really going to like this girl! Thanks so much for watching and sharing! Hugs ~ Coco

I played with my Calla. I think I will try it tomorrow for work.
Awesome!!!!! Have fun!!!! Hugs, Coco
Thank you, Karen!!! Hugs, Coco
Please explain the trend of "rooted" styles. When I see roots in my bio hair I would go to the salon
Good morning ❤❤❤❤ love your laughter and smile. Wishing you a very Happy 4th of July for you & your family. Thank you for showing your ideas of styling the Calla wig.

I found out in the wig industry they allow a #0% variance..which is A LOT! and I too notice different fiber with different colors
Very, very pretty love the bangs. I am a bang person.
You have the cutest personality Coco. We’d be great friends in real life.
Awww, thank you! I wish we had an opportunity to meet f2f at some point! There's so many of you (my viewers) that I've come to "know" and love!!! We'll just have to keep in touch here for the meantime! Thanks so much for watching and sharing!!! Hugs, Coco

Would you say this is similar to GS Freedom?
