Ruby by Jon Renau: Bold Pixie Style with SmartLace Comfort

The Ruby by Jon Renau is a fashion-forward pixie synthetic wig from the Jon Renau SmartLace Collection — proof that short styles can be just as sophisticated as they are striking. Combining a natural SmartLace® extended lace front with an ultra-lightweight open cap construction, Ruby delivers exceptional breathability and an undetectable hairline in one of the lightest wig designs in the collection.

Cap Construction

Ruby is built on a SmartLace® extended lace front with open cap base. The sheer lace panel at the hairline blends seamlessly with the skin, creating the illusion of hair growing directly from the scalp. For a pixie cut where the hairline is fully exposed and the face frame draws immediate attention, this level of realism matters — and SmartLace delivers it with confidence in close-up, well-lit settings.

The open cap construction sets Ruby apart in everyday wearability. Rather than a fully wefted back, the ventilated base allows air to circulate freely around the scalp, significantly reducing heat buildup during extended wear. This makes Ruby a standout choice for warm climates, warm-weather seasons, hot flashes, or anyone with scalp sensitivity who finds traditional wig caps uncomfortable.

Style Details & Measurements

Ruby's pixie silhouette is clean, confident, and intentionally chic. The front layers frame the face with movement and dimension rather than falling flat. The overall shape reads as deliberate and fashion-forward with zero styling effort required — the look is built right into the cap.

Fiber & Styling

Ruby by Jon Renau is crafted from standard synthetic fiber. The pixie shape is pre-styled and holds its form without any heat tools required — and because this is a standard synthetic construction, heat styling with flat irons, curling irons, or blow dryers is not recommended. For a full breakdown of synthetic fiber care, visit the Wig Fiber Guide.

Color Range

Ruby is available in two expertly crafted shades designed to 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 everyday shades.
  • FS2V/31V — A rich, deep espresso brown with warm violet undertones and auburn highlights. A sophisticated, dimensional shade with striking depth.
