    Here is just one example of the racist crappy things they have posted when you try to go to this museum. There is an actual picture of trump and a police lives matter sticker not pictured. Guess don't come here if you're not white. (for future generations, as a reference point, I am typing this after Trump's Helsinki press conference and after his family separation BS and these are still up)

    Quite an interesting place, if rather small. I had no idea that people would weave hair in such intricate patterns and shapes. It costs $15 for adults and $7.50 for those 17 and under. It consists mainly of framed wreaths made out of mostly human hair, as a tribute to family members.

    A wonderful place to go to learn about Victorian hair art. It was fun and informative, our guide knew a lot about the topic. I enjoyed this museum a lot. Definitely worth the price!

    Rosie gave a great tour of the β€œmuseum”. No politics, no religion (besides descriptions of religious art). The museum is worth seeing because it’ll stick in your mind forever. If you’re like most of us, you had no idea that hair was used as a genealogical database before DNA and detailed family trees. Besides the record-keeping aspect, the detailed tatting-like work that was performed using hair is incredible. The tour is just long enough because at some point you’ve seen it all, but the details are incredible to see. The Smithsonian will have this stuff at some point, but I recommend you see it here first.

    Such a unique place! The owner was full of information and personally lead our tour. It was a great experience and there are also classes where Leila will teach you how to make a hair wreath. One of a kind museum.

    Great tour. Leila is the reason not just anybody can put hot wax on your body to remove hair. Museum is pretty cool. It's crazy what people could do with hair. They also offer classes four times a year.

    Bizarre experience, and Leila herself is as interesting as her collection. The oddities in this place aren't limited to Victorian Hair art - there are a few other items that she's collected. There's no other place like it - would highly recommend if you've got the time to go there.

  • 4/5 Leah B. 6 years ago on Google β€’ 21 reviews
    A very odd and eclectic place. Leila is full of knowledge and has an amazing interest. The beautiful hair wreaths were something worth seeing and she has hair from some familiar and famous faces. She offers classes a few times a year and is writing books, too! Admission is $15 for an adult, which was much more than I had anticipated but it truly was a one of a kind place.

😐 Very long wait! If you are coming to handle property taxes, they open at 8am but you should arrive by 7:15/7:30am to get in line. You have to wait in the line and get out in queue.
