Wig Install salons and stylists across the UK
What to expect from a wig install appointment
A wig install fits a lace front or full unit to the client's head, blending the hairline with the natural baby hair and securing the lace with adhesive or a tape grid. The first install runs around two hours, including a customisation of the parting and a tint of the lace to match the skin tone. Aftercare looks after both the wig (regular wash, a stand, gentle handling) and the scalp underneath. Many clients book a re-install every two to three weeks.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a lace-front wig install take?
Around two hours including hairline customisation, lace tinting, adhesive application and styling. The customisation is what makes the install look natural; a rushed install rarely sits well.
How long does a wig install last?
Two to four weeks depending on adhesive type and lifestyle. Sweating, swimming and oil-rich products shorten the hold. Most clients book a refresh appointment when the lift starts.
How do I look after my scalp under a wig?
Cleanse the scalp before each install, moisturise the natural hair, and remove the wig professionally rather than tugging. A scalp check between installs catches any irritation early.
How much does a wig install cost?
A standard lace-front install typically runs eighty to two hundred pounds in UK salons. The wig itself is bought separately, usually one hundred to four hundred pounds for quality units. Custom-styling, hairline tinting and bleached knots can add to the total.
Can I wear a wig install while working out or sleeping?
Yes within limits. Light exercise and gentle sleep on a satin pillow are fine. Heavy sweating, swimming and pillow-rubbing reduce wear; many clients refresh the install fortnightly. Use a satin wrap or scarf at night to extend the hold.
