Trying to find a local source for foam mannequin heads, like you'd see displaying wigs, etc.

Tried some beauty supply shops with no luck.

A & B probably has some... you could call and ask before going. Their website is A & B Store Fixtures of Raleigh - Home Page.

That looks like a such a cool store. I'd have no reason to go there, but I think I'd want to go just to look around.

BigK-had you considered one of the recycled goods places in the area? The name escapes me, but in Durham there is a big one where teachers and others can go to acquire cast-offs, and I am certain that any of the larger Triangle towns will have something similar.
You also might try an artist supply place.

I get them at the K Discount Beauty Supply Store, next to the El Rodeo in The Village/Pleasant Valley. It's on Glenwood Avenue, outside the Beltline. If you ask at the counter, they will get foam heads for you. I think they are about $3 apiece..

Do not get this confused with the Sally Beauty Supply in the shopping center next door to this one. Sally's does not have foam heads.

Sorry, I have nothing to add. I just read the title and saw "foam heads" and thought referred to local craft beer drinkers and aficionados. LOL. Not that kind of foam!

Yeah I was going to say Scrap Exchange too - maybe call them first.

Thanks, that's the kind of lead I was hoping for. Tried Sally before with no luck.

Is "K Discount" still open? No one answers the phone at the number listed for this business. I guess I'll have to drive over and check in person?
