How much does a hair system cost in New York?

$600 – $1,800 for the unit, quoted as a written band before the order rather than on the chair. The price does not change by locality — there is no travel surcharge anywhere in New York. What does change your quote is base material, hair grade, coverage area and density.

How long does a hair system take in New York?

12–15 days for a fully custom order, or same-day with a stock base. The consultation and template take about 45 minutes and can happen at your home anywhere in New York; the fitting itself is a separate appointment once the unit arrives.

How often will I need servicing in New York?

Every three to four weeks — roughly 14 visits a year. New York's humidity is what sets that interval; sweat, not manufacturing, is what ends most bonds here.

Do you fit a hair system at home in New York?

Yes, and most New York clients choose it. Free doorstep consultation anywhere in the five boroughs. Templating, fitting, servicing and repairs all happen at home to the same standard as a studio visit, at the same price.

Custom Hair System in New York

We make hair system to order for clients across New York, measured on your own scalp rather than a standard template. A made-to-order hair system cut to a mould of your own scalp, matched to your existing hair in colour, density, curl and hairline shape. Non-surgical, reversible and ready to wear the same day it is fitted.

Every system is templated on your scalp, so the perimeter follows your own hairline instead of a factory curve. Clients from New York usually book a weekday slot and pair the fitting with a trim.

Turnaround: 12–15 days for a fully custom order, or same-day with a stock base
Servicing: Every three to four weeks
Best for: Men with crown or mid-scalp thinning who want density back without surgery or medication.

How New York's climate changes this build

New York's climate is genuinely two different briefs a year apart. Summer here is hot and humid enough that a sealed skin base will lift at the perimeter faster than its rated life, and a subway platform in July adds another twenty minutes of standing heat to any commute. Winter flips it entirely: cold, dry outdoor air and forced-air heating indoors both pull moisture out of human hair, which is a different failure mode than humidity but just as real.

The practical result is that we specify differently by season rather than issuing one build and leaving it. Through summer we default to breathable lace or mono construction and a stronger adhesive rated for sweat; through winter the same base survives longer, but the hair itself needs more conditioning to stop it going dry and static.

For a hair system specifically, that usually means starting from a swiss lace base — front hairlines and anyone who sweats heavily, with a typical lifespan of 3–6 months of daily wear in this climate.

What is included

Scalp template taken by hand, so the system sits flat with no lifting at the edges
Hair matched from a cut sample of your own hair — colour, grey percentage, wave and shine
Choose skin, mono, lace or a hybrid base depending on how much you sweat
Fitted, cut and styled in one sitting so you walk out finished

Where we fit a hair system in New York

New York does not yet have a studio — every consultation, template, fitting and service visit is a home visit, run on a scheduled route rather than booked one-off wherever possible.

We run Manhattan and the inner boroughs — Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx — on a shared weekday rota, batched by neighborhood so a visit to one client's building usually means we can offer a nearby time slot to the next. Staten Island and the outer edges of the metro run on a separate, less frequent rota.

For clients in a shared apartment or an open-plan office who would rather not have a fitting done there, we can meet at a private space near a subway stop on request.

Owning a hair system in New York: the twelve-month view

At 14 service visits a year, servicing is a bigger line item than most people expect when they compare unit prices. This is the schedule we plan against.

Aftercare schedule for a hair system in New York
When	What happens
Weeks 3-4	First re-bond. Perimeter deep-clean, scalp check and a hairline trim. This is the visit that sets your ongoing interval - shorter if you sweat, longer if you do not.
Monthly	Full base clean and adhesive strip. Left in place, cured adhesive hardens the base edge and is what causes early perimeter tears.
Month 6-9	Front refill. The leading two centimetres always thin first; refilling them is a fraction of the cost of a new unit and buys months.
Month 8-12	Replacement or repair assessment. We will tell you plainly when a base has too many repairs in it to be worth another.
