Meet the Susanne by Rene of Paris

Susanne by Rene of Paris is a short-length synthetic wig from the Alexander Couture Collection. It features a classic straight cut with short layers, a side-swept fringe, and a tapered nape — a polished, ready-to-wear style designed for everyday elegance. Because it is discontinued once sold out, availability is limited, making it worth acting on sooner rather than later.

Susanne arrives ready to wear straight out of the box. Its machine-made cap includes adjustable tabs at the back nape area, allowing a more personalized and comfortable fit for an average head size. At just 2.46 oz (70 g), it is lightweight enough for extended daily wear.

Is Susanne by Rene of Paris Right for You?

This wig is well suited to anyone seeking a low-maintenance, classic short style with a natural, everyday appearance. The side-swept fringe and tapered nape complement oval, round, and heart-shaped faces by softening facial structure. Its lightweight construction also makes it a comfortable option for first-time wig wearers, as well as those managing thinning hair or medically related hair loss. For scalp sensitivity, pairing it with a wig liner or grip band can improve comfort further.

Caring for Your Susanne Wig

Because Susanne by Rene of Paris is made from standard synthetic fiber, it is not heat-friendly. Do not use flat irons, curling wands, or blow dryers. The style arrives pre-shaped and ready to wear. To keep it looking its best:

  • Wash every 10–15 wears using cool water and a synthetic-specific shampoo.
  • Follow with a synthetic-safe conditioner, rinse thoroughly, and air dry on a wig stand.
  • Avoid wringing or brushing the fibers while wet to preserve the short layers and fringe shape.
  • Store on a wig stand away from direct heat and sunlight.

With proper care, Susanne can last four to six months with daily wear, or longer with less frequent use. For more fiber and care guidance, visit the Wig Fiber Guide.

A Discontinued Style Worth Having

Susanne by Rene of Paris is a timeless, easy-wearing short wig from the Alexander Couture Collection. Once current stock is gone, it will not be restocked — so if this classic silhouette speaks to your style, now is the time to add it to your collection.
