NFT of Celia Cruz's iconic wig up for sale

The Boca Raton-based company formerly known as Hair Club for Men — now just HairClub — is commissioning a replica of one of Celia Cruz's iconic wigs, creating an NFT of it, and auctioning it off.

What's happening: Archetype-IO, a Miami-based Web3 interactive tech company, has been working with Cruz's estate to create an NFT collection honoring the Queen of Salsa's legacy and extravagant style with never-before-seen footage and memorabilia.

• As part of the project commissioned by HairClub, Archetype-IO will conduct a 3D scan of a replica of the bright orange wig Cruz wore in the music video for her global hit "La Negra Tiene Tumbao."
• From the scan, they'll create a digital image for the NFT.

Details: HairClub will auction off the replica and NFT in New York the week of Oct. 21, Cruz's birthday.

• The starting bid is $2,500.
• HairClub is also donating $40,000 to the Celia Cruz Foundation for kids' music and arts programs, including the Celia Cruz School of Music in the Bronx.
