"Undoubtedly this is the greatest challenge I have yet to face and I need your help. I am setting up this go fund me to help me cover the cost of finding a new studio, refunding clients, buying a new equipment and materials and a new stock of wigs."
"The 'self-taught artist', who moved from London to Glasgow in 2022 to keep costs lower, added that he has encountered multiple 'set-backs and hardship' over a decade of running Wig Chapel, but has 'recovered every time'."
"I'm very aware that this support comes from people acting in good faith and goodwill, and I take that responsibility seriously."
Jack Baxter's Wig Chapel studio in Glasgow was destroyed in a fire that spread from a vape shop on Union Street on March 8. Baxter, a self-taught artist who relocated from London to Glasgow in 2022, lost all his equipment, materials, and stock. He launched a fundraiser seeking £26,000 to cover costs for a new studio, client refunds, and replacement inventory. Despite facing multiple setbacks over a decade of business, Baxter remains determined to rebuild. The fundraiser had raised over £18,600 by the time of reporting. Baxter confirmed he has no insurance payout and expressed gratitude for supporters' goodwill.
