Artemis Hair Studio

Artemis Hair Studio is in Bellaire and is now in its second generation of ownership. The studio reports more than 36 years of experience in hair restoration. Its listed affiliations include M.D. Anderson, the Pink Door Foundation, Trich.org, the Women's Chamber of Commerce and the American Cancer Society's Look Good Feel Better program.

The studio focuses on women with hair loss from chemotherapy, alopecia and other causes. Its custom wigs are made from human hair, hand-tied one hair at a time, and are matched to a client's original color, texture and style or to a different look if the client prefers. Chemotherapy wigs are made with what the studio describes as finest European hair, and the studio refers to them as garments. The making process covers color, texture, cap construction, size and fit, and the studio offers care guidance, styling tips and adjustments after a wig is finished.

Consultations are complimentary and private, and they can cover hair loss, insurance coverage and any questions a client has. The studio helps clients file for insurance reimbursement on medical wigs when they qualify. According to the studio, many private insurers cover all or part of a medical wig's cost with a prescription, and reimbursement of 80 to 100 percent is not uncommon. Insurers usually require a qualifying diagnosis from the treating physician.

Beyond wigs, the studio offers Fine to Thin Laser Hair Therapy, a non-surgical treatment for hair loss, along with a full-service hair salon and wedding hair and make-up packages. Medically related hair loss it works with includes alopecia areata, alopecia universalis, alopecia totalis and traction alopecia. The studio describes itself as Houston's preferred non-invasive custom human hair wig provider for women and says it is the only hair studio in Houston offering full-service hair restoration.

The studio describes its approach as private and custom, with each wig built to the individual client and consultations offered at no charge.

The studio describes its space as clean and professional, with private consultation and fitting rooms.
