Hair Pieces- The Best Place To Buy: The Price

Time Involved

Expect to wait a good month 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 piece. 

You will be required to make only two or three visits to a shop in order to buy a hairpiece: one or two for and a final visit when the hairpiece 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 hairpieces cost? 

The prices varies. As stated in an earlier chapter, you can buy the cheapest stock piece available or go the full route and order a custom made. 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 passing fad. It will be your hair. Only you can decide how much value to place on it. 

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 hairpieces were once a luxury- available to only the famous and the elite. Today, quality is within the reach of every man who cares about himself. 

Stock pieces with synthetic hair are naturally the least expensive, averaging around $350 for a full piece. Although the quality is not as impressive as in a custom made, there is still a great deal of work that goes into its production. 

Next in range, the semi-custom piece with a guaze or skin base, will run approximately $500 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 partial. For every inch ordered that is larger than the average size you should expect to pay an additional $50. However, this is required only in extreme balding cases. In fact, adjustments in the design of this type of hairpiece, may even bring the price down somewhat. 

Finally, for the ultimate in hairpieces, the custom-made piece with European hair and a lace base, you will have to pay between $500 and $600 for a full piece (5" by 8"). Again, for extra large pieces $50 will be required for each additional inch. As with any high quality item, the increased durability and effectiveness makes up for the higher price. This fact is especially true where hairpieces are concerned.
