There’s a reason
A-list wig stylists
have trained with DLA.
They don’t just know how to create
those couture-caliber cuts and styles.
Not when every angle, every fall, every fiber
of a wig’s DNA must align to perfection.
They master it. With us.
We don’t do guesswork. We do science.
At DLA Academy, we strip cutting and styling down to their core
– hair anatomy, facial structure, and the exacting principles of haute coiffure.

Developed by Devorah Leah Adler,
the DLA Method takes the natural laws of hair and
applies it to wigs with scientific precision.
The result?
Styles that don’t just sit - they command.
Cuts that don’t just work - they worship the face they frame.
And results that aren’t just good - they turn heads.
Where do you stand?

You can watch.
You can copy the trends.
You can manipulate the curls this way and that way.

Because we have wig cutting and styling down to a science.
