Wigs & installsBy Janay J. Lewis

A good install is the difference between “is that a wig?” and “where did you get your hair done?” Here’s what goes into mine.

1. Consultation

We talk about the look you want, your budget, and how you want it secured. Glued or glueless, everyday or a special event.

2. Prep

Your own hair gets braided down or flattened neat and flat so the wig lays smooth. Your edges get protected.

3. Customizing the lace

This is where the magic is. I cut the lace to your hairline, and depending on the unit, I’ll pluck the hairline and tint the lace so it melts into your skin.

4. Securing it

Glue, tape, or a glueless fit with bands and combs. I’ll walk you through what each one means for wear time and upkeep.

5. Styling

Laid edges, your part placed, and the style finished: sleek, curls, waves, whatever we planned.

Bring your own unit or ask me about sourcing one. Wig installs start at $120, and your final price is set at your consultation.
