Price, Time, and Financial Arrangements Involved in Hair Replacement

Time Involved

Expect to wait a good 6 to 8 weeks for your hairpiece to be custom-made. Remember, there is a great deal of work to be done in making the base, matching and blending the hair, and sewing the strands into the hair replacement system.
You will be required to make only two or three visits to the salon in order to purchase a hair system: one or two for the interview consultation, design and measurement, and a final visit when the hair replacement is completed and ready to be cut and styled on your head.

The Price

And now for a subject that interests everyone: Just how much does one of these hair systems cost?
The price varies. As states in an earlier chapter, you can buy the cheapest stock hairpiece available or go the full route and order a custom made system. Before making your decision, remember that you are buying something that will become a part of you. It won't be just an ornament or a passing fad. It will be your hair. Only you can decide how much value to place on the hairpiece.
We are talking about a necessity for a man who is particular about his appearance and who desires to retain his youthful appearance. Good quality hair replacement were ounce a luxury--available to only the famous and the elite. Today, quality is within the reach of every man who cares about himself.
Stock hair systems with synthetic hair are naturally the least expensive, averaging around $350.00 for a full system. Although the quality is not as impressive as in a custom made hair replacement system, there is still a great deal of work that goes into its production.
Next in range, the semi-custom piece with a fine welded mono base, will run approximately $1,200.00 for the standard 5 inch by 8 inch size. Of course, if you are only beginning to bald, you can save money by just ordering a custom made partial piece for $850.00.
Finally, for the ultimate in hairpieces, the custom-made piece with European human hair and a fine welded mono base , you will have to pay $1,700.00 for a full piece (5" by 8"). As with any high-quality item, the increased durability and effectiveness makes up for the higher price. This fact is especially true where hair replacement systems are concerned.

Financial Arrangements

Most of the large hairpiece shops will trap you into a contract that seems fordable because it is spread out over a year or two but in reality you pay a lot more for a lower quality hair system. On the other hand, most local hair replacement salons arrangement is to have the customer put down 50% at the time of the order (due to the fact that the article is custom made and cannot be sold to anyone else) and then pay thee balance at the time of delivery.
