That's me in the second photo, locking lips with Mr. right wearing my very own feather mohawk. The first one I ever made. I wear it every chance I get, and it's been to a few events already - including burning man, and those feathers are still standing proud, bringing me good times and magical memories every time I wear it. Oh man, If that hawk could talk...
The first time I put it on, I instantly felt its power. I quickly realized I could not keep this all to myself. So now here's your chance to experience the power of one of my feather mohawks! I consider each piece to be a work of art and treat it as such. They are completely hand made by me with love from start to finish using scraps of real leather, fabric and gorgeous feathers. I have a video available on instructions on how to wear them (link below) and anybody with at least 2-3 inches of hair on top can wear one!
Let me tell you, it's a lot of fun to see other's reactions to the feather mohawk. Eyes widen. Big smiles. Compliments galore. Attention like you wouldn't believe. So...this is what it feels like to be a rockstar...
But don't take my word for it...try it out for yourself! Magic comes free of charge ;)
Each piece is entirely handmade with love by me, and includes an authenticity tag "handmade by Michelle Curiel" with the mohawk style and number on it. This is not only a headpiece - it is a work of art and treated like one! When not wearing your feather hawk, display it proudly in a display box or mannequin head in your home and get tons of compliments on it by your guests!
Please note that the pieces you see in these photos are not the same one you will be getting, but made to be in the same badass style!
Please allow up to 4 weeks for the feather mohawk to be made and shipped out to you. I can work with you if you need it sooner. If you have a date that you need it by, please make sure to let me know so that I get it out to you in time! I also take advanced orders as well up to six months prior to the time you need it.

HOW CAN I CUSTOMIZE MY FEATHER MOHAWK?
∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴
Each one is made to order so please specify what feather accent colors you would like in the front of your mohawk ********if you do not specify I will leave the entire mohawk black long feathers & brown shorter ones. There are short and long ones, so you have the option of making 3 or 4 long feathers a different color, as well as a few shorter ones different colors as well. Color options for front accent feathers are: Grizzly (only available short), Hot Pink (only available short), Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Light Green, Turquoise, Dark Blue, Purple, Fuchsia, Cream. Want gold accent feathers? No problem! Want extra feathers to make it full? No problem! Want some peacock feathers to accent the front? No problem! Easiest way is to just let me know what colors and style you want and I'll figure out the rest. :D
Each piece has a small medallion / pendant on the front unless you prefer to have none. Please specify if you would like a custom jewelry silver/bronze/gold based medallion. (won't be real gold/silver/bronze unless you would like to pay extra for the cost) **********If you do not specify, I will place a bronze on. Each pendant is different so I will add whatever I feel looks best but you can always remove whatever I put on it and put one of our own if you prefer.
Keep in mind the feather mohawk in the photos is a prototype to what you can do, but the possibilities are endless when it comes to creativity with these! If you want it to be even more custom than this, feel free to let me know. I have had people request everything from all black mohawks, to adding sequins, to head chains, so bring on the ideas and I will bring on the creativity! We can discuss via etsy, email, skype or phone - even before you make you make your decision to purchase so that you are 100% comfortable that I'll make something you will be overly happy with and proud to wear - I'll make sure that this piece of wearable art is fully customized so that it fits exactly what you envision and want!
CAN I SEE SOME EXAMPLES OF OTHER CUSTOM FEATHER MOHAWKS YOU HAVE MADE?

You sure can! Follow this link: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150267936583225.327001.91812973224&type=3
CAN I SEE IT BEFORE YOU SHIP IT!?
∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴
Absolutely, in fact, part of the deal is that I will send you a photo before I mail it, unless you're not interested in seeing it (so far, most are so excited about their feather mohawks that they can't wait to see photos before they get it!). I want you to be thrilled and excited when you pull your mohawk out of the box. before shipping, I will email you some photos of the exact one you will be getting so that I get your seal of approval!
At your request, I can also make a quick video so you can see your mohawk from different angles. I can even skype you so that you see it live. Please note this will take an additional day or two to ship but totally doable. This method is very convenient though because you'll have a better idea of what you will be getting and if you have any last minute requests or changes this will be your chance to speak up!
HOW DO I WEAR IT?
∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴
Instructions on how to wear the feather mohawks can be found on my youtube - message me with your email address and i will send you an instructional video.
Once it's on, you rest be assured that it will be on securely and comfortably - I've even forgotten that I have it on sometimes! Holds on tightly with a with a banana clip, and hair ties. No headband needed! This is something you can wear to a party and swing your head in any direction without feeling like it might fall off! When it's on, it's ON!
*****I will also be including hair ties so that it's ready to go out of the box!!!****
*****extra Feathers will be included in case you want to add more feathers or some get loose after a night of fun for multiple use!!!****
I DON'T WANT IT TO FALL OFF OF ME, CAN I REALLY WEAR IT ALL DAY AND NIGHT?
∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴
I designed this feather mohawk so that it would stay ON! It's not just a "for show" piece, it is a piece that can literally be worn all day and night - I even slept in mine once...don't ask ;) If you follow the instructions on how to wear it and really secure it in place(super tight hair ties in the center, extra hair gel!!!), you should not have any problems with it falling off or getting loose.
MY HAIR IS SUPER SHORT, BUT I STILL WANT ONE!!! WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?
∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴
If you have 1-3 inches of hair: You can still wear this mohawk - watch the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvq6Bd4gF9Q, and to add to that, instead of just two hair ties, use three for extra security and make sure you use a heavy gel on your hair (hair glue works wonders!!!) on top so that the mohawk adheres to your head tightly. For short hair I highly recommend using snag free elastic bands. Let me know if your hair is short and I will include them free of charge with your mohawk. I once put a feather mohawk on a gal that had less than one inch hair on a windy day and she said that the mohawk felt very secure on her, so short hair is definitely doable.
Bald/ no hair: Because it uses a banana clip, it can be attached to a skull cap or Nylon cap. I can also add a headband that would go around your head to secure it in place. Let's talk!
IS IT HEAVY?
∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴
The beauty about feathers, is that they are LIGHT! So NO, not heavy at all. When you get your box in the mail you'll ask yourself...did she forget to put the feather mohawk in here? :p My feather mohawks are less than a pound. This isn't a vegas showgirl head piece. It's light, comfortable, stays on and you might even forget you have it on...but honestly you won't forget because people are going to be constantly reminding you how amazing your mohawk is. Get ready to be in tons of photos ;) "hi! can i take a photo with you?" yeah. It's kind of like being a celebrity...
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO MAKE IT?
∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴
Please allow about 2-4 weeks for me to get it made for you and shipped out so you can rock this baby out on the town, desert, burning man, party, rave, festival, carnival, mardi gras, photoshoot, concert, New Years Eve, Halloween - anywhere you want to WOW people and turn heads, this is what you need!!!
I TOTALLY NOW I'M GOING TO BUY IT, BUT DON'T NEED IT FOR A FEW MONTHS, SHOULD I WAIT TO ORDER?
∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴
There are a few advantages to ordering ahead of time. First, sometimes my feather wholesaler is out of stock of feathers and slows down the process. Second, you are put in the front of the line and are given priority over other orders and you can customize as much as you want until you are happy. Third: if you wait to order until the last minute, sometimes I am so over booked on orders that I have to cut off future orders because I make these on my spare time (yes, I still have a full time job...mer) I have had quite a few orders that are 2-4 months ahead of what they need and it's always the best bet. No rushing, feathers will be in stock, and also more time to find the best pendant for your mohawk
I NEED IT ASAP! IS IT STILL POSSIBLE TO GET MINE LIKE- YESTERDAY!?
∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴
If you need it within the next day or so, I do charge a $100 rush fee plus shipping. If it's within a week, it's $50. Otherwise if you need it 1-2 weeks from now, please just let me know so we can work something out - I might have to pay extra for shipping - especially if you are in another country and I'll only charge you the cost to rush ship.
HOW SHOULD I STORE MY FEATHER MOHAWK?
∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴
Feathers arch nemesis is the moth, so have some mothballs near your feather mohawk while not in use. You may save the bag your mohawk comes in and throw some mothballs in it and that should do the trick. If you want to have it out on display, I would just have mothballs nearby or tucked inside of the mohawk when not in use.
STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?
∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴
Please ask me! I am happy to answer ANY question that you may have on customization, durability, how to wear, etc etc. Do not hesitate to ask your heart away :D
****Earrings and accessories are not included.
