Both get you a brand new look in one appointment. The real question is how you live day to day.
Wig install
A wig is a finished unit. I fit it, customize it and lay it so your hairline looks like it grew there. You can take it off at night, switch looks whenever you want, and your own hair gets a break underneath.
Lace fronts give you the most natural hairline. That’s most of what I install.
Sew-in
Your hair gets braided down and the extensions are sewn onto the braids. It stays in for weeks and moves like your own hair. You wake up done. The trade-off is upkeep, because those braids underneath still need care.
How long does a wig install last?
It depends on how it’s secured. A glued install can hold a couple of weeks or more if you take care of it. Glueless lasts as long as you want since you put it on and take it off yourself. Sleep in a satin scarf and keep oil away from the lace. Both help a lot.
