Maneland’s roots

15+ years of combing through the world’s best hair sources

When the global luxury wig industry was still in its infancy, Israel Paluch was already a hair legend.

The Global Search

A man on a mission, all over the map

Human hair is a living thing. It’s a delicate natural resource that varies from pony to pony in hundreds of small ways. No one source had ever set a standard. Until Maneland.

Over the past decade and a half, the Paluch family and Maneland brand have done more than anyone for the sophistication of the wig industry. Maneland hair sets the standard. In fact, it’s the only respected standard for consistently exceptional hair sourcing.

The Journey Here

From a carryon suitcase to global infrastructure

Despite explosive growth, Maneland’s work remains a meticulous, artisanal labor of love, with obsessive focus on every lock and strand.

Back in 1999

Miles and miles for inches

Maneland began as a lone seeker, traveling thousands of miles into the heart of sourcing communities around the world. He would select the finest batches he could find in Asia, Russia, Europe, and Brazil, shepherding them home in personal luggage.

By the Mid-2000’s

A name as big as a source

Within a few short years, the Paluch team became intrinsically embedded within the resident families leading the hair trade. By then Paluch represented the best hair anywhere, with unattainable sources across the Slavic and Latin American countries.

As of early 2023

Flagship New York presence

After serving clients in North America, Israel, and Europe from headquarters in Israel, the time finally came to lay down American roots. Today, the Maneland brand is all the Paluch people, product, and partnership experience, led by a domestic, devoted American team.

Maneland means:

The hair behind the best wigs. The people behind the best wigmakers.
