Ruby by Jon Renau — Pixie Lace Front Synthetic Wig with Open Cap | SmartLace Collection

Overview

Ruby by Jon Renau is a bold, fashion-forward pixie synthetic wig that proves short styles can be just as sophisticated as they are striking. Featuring chic front layers, a natural-looking SmartLace lace front hairline, and an ultra-lightweight open cap construction, Ruby is engineered for wearers who want maximum comfort alongside maximum style impact. At just 2.4 oz — one of the lightest wigs in the Jon Renau SmartLace Collection — Ruby is an exceptional choice for warm-weather wear, sensitive scalps, and anyone who values breathability without compromising on a polished, put-together look.

SmartLace Extended Lace Front

Ruby features Jon Renau's SmartLace extended lace front, delivering a completely natural and undetectable hairline. The sheer lace panel blends seamlessly with the skin and creates the illusion of hair growing directly from the scalp. For a pixie cut like Ruby, where the hairline is fully exposed and the short length draws the eye directly to the face frame, a convincing lace front is essential — and SmartLace delivers. The natural hairline allows Ruby to be worn with confidence in close-up, well-lit environments where a less refined construction would be easily detected.

Open Cap Construction

Ruby's open cap design is what sets it apart from most other SmartLace styles in terms of everyday wearability. Rather than a fully closed or wefted back, the open cap uses a more ventilated base that allows air to circulate freely around the scalp. The result is significantly reduced heat buildup, a lighter overall feel, and enhanced comfort during extended wear. For wearers in warmer climates, those experiencing hot flashes, or anyone who finds traditional wig caps uncomfortable in heat, Ruby's open cap construction is a meaningful practical advantage. The trade-off is that open cap styles offer less styling flexibility at the back and crown compared to monofilament constructions — but for a defined pixie cut like Ruby, the shape is built into the style itself, making that a non-issue.

Style Details

Ruby's pixie silhouette is confident, clean, and undeniably chic. The front layers are the defining feature — styled with movement and dimension that frame the face with intention rather than falling flat. At 6 inches at the bang and a close 4.5 inches at the crown, Ruby creates the kind of sharp, styled pixie look that reads as deliberate and fashion-forward rather than simply short. The nape sits at just 2 inches, keeping the back tight and modern, while the side lengths of 2.5 to 3 inches allow for natural-looking taper and blend. The overall silhouette flatters strong cheekbones, jawlines, and longer face shapes particularly well.

Color Options

Ruby is shown in two expertly crafted shades that highlight the texture and movement of the pixie cut:

• 12FS8: A warm medium brown with subtle blonde highlights and a naturally shaded root — one of Jon Renau's most universally flattering and consistently popular everyday shades.
• FS2V/31V: A rich, deep espresso brown with warm violet undertones and auburn highlights — a sophisticated, dimensional shade with striking depth that makes the layered cut stand out.

Who Ruby Is For

Ruby is the ideal wig for wearers who want a short, fashion-forward pixie style with a natural hairline and exceptional breathability. The open cap and ultra-low weight make it particularly well-suited for those managing medical hair loss — especially those undergoing treatment who experience scalp sensitivity or temperature regulation challenges. It also appeals strongly to fashion wig wearers who want a bold, low-maintenance short style they can wear in any season. The average cap size fits most wearers comfortably, and the defined pixie shape means Ruby looks intentionally styled with zero effort required.
