'I only use human hair or mohair in my wig making. I detest artificial fibers. I am in love with how the human hair strand reacts to my touch, be it gentle or abusive. I use 60s' old school techniques and tools for styling my wigs, old rollers, old combs and old styling methods. Wigs are such intense tools of transformation, they can transform anyone into anything.
Their magic powers excite me to no end. And being made in human hair, they carry secret DNA messages from the people whose hair I use. I have created a line of fine wigs for dolls in limited editions, called Yatabazah Luxury Wigs which caters to a few choice dolls, like Mdvanii and Blythe.' - Thanos Samaras
