Alopecia Hair Solutions

The business works with women and children dealing with many kinds of hair loss, including alopecia and trichotillomania. Its stated aim is to help clients feel good about how they look and feel confident without worrying about hair loss.

A visit usually begins with a private in-home consultation, where the team comes to the client's home to look at the area affected, talk through the options and choose a solution together. Clients who cannot meet in person can book an online consultation instead. The first consultation is free.

Solutions are chosen by looking at the hair loss itself, hair type, color, lifestyle, size and placement, so the piece gives the best coverage. Human hair wigs and enhancements can be colored, and most are cut and styled to the look the client wants. Hair pieces can be clipped or bonded to the head, with bonding done at home using medical grade tape or in a salon with adhesives.

Fitting day covers cutting and styling, adding clips, adjusting the cap and going over at-home care. Follow-up is offered after the first wash and style at home. Fittings are usually scheduled about a week after the consultation. A deposit is taken on the order: 75% for pieces that need alterations before fitting and 50% when none are needed. Clients who order on the day of their consultation receive a free starter kit valued at $50.

Wig and hair piece prices run from about $300 to $12,000, with virgin and European hair at the upper end and synthetic at the lower end. Human hair wigs typically start around $1,000. The business notes that a hair prosthesis may be a tax-deductible medical expense and that insurance coverage depends on the insurer. Doctors can write a prescription for a cranial prosthesis, and the site lists the Ascot Fund from NAAF as one grant program that may help with wig costs.

The business educates clients about the hair loss solutions currently available and guides them toward one that suits their needs.
