Can you please let me know a place in Hong Kong where I can either buy or order a wig made with natural hair?

The Dictator rules: Just when you thought they were gone, some questions come back like the monster in a horror film. For example, if one more person asks me where to get shoes for large feet, I swear ... But this is a query I'm happy to answer repeatedly. Last time, I recommended the wigs by Hipp Fish (HK$3,500; L/GF, 16 Elgin Street, Central, tel: 2815 3638), which are custom made with real hair sourced from around the world. The six-week purchasing process begins with a detailed consultation. You choose the base, from lace to sturdier material, as well as the poly-skin scalp colour. Then you select hair colour, texture and a volume of between 60 per cent and 200 per cent. After the wig has been made - by hand in China - it is coloured, styled and cut as you desire in the salon. This is a gentle, pampering service for an experience that can be difficult.
If you'd like to shop around, others also do natural hair wigs. Everhair Weaving (1/F, Wardley Centre, 9 Prat Avenue, Tsim Sha Tsui, tel: 2312 1988) takes orders for US-made wigs (HK$12,000 and up), starting with a 30-minute complimentary consultation and video. Delivery takes about six weeks. Lily Wigs (room 702, Carnarvon Plaza, 20 Carnarvon Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, tel: 2367 4727) has some ready-made wigs (HK$8,000 and up) suitable for Chinese heads and takes custom orders with delivery in seven to 10 days. ABC Wigs does both retail and custom wigs (from HK$1,500; M/F, Chak Fung House, 440 Nathan Road, Yau Ma Tei, tel: 2362 1566) by appointment only.
Kenneth Cole men's shoes are the only ones I can wear. My wardrobe is full of them. I can't find the shop any more. Please help.
