Custom Hair Wig in Edinburgh

custom wig in Edinburgh is not a shelf product — the density, base and hairline all have to be cut to your head. A full custom wig for advanced hair loss, alopecia totalis or medical hair loss during chemotherapy. Cap made to your head circumference with a lace or silk front.

We match density and colour against your existing hair in daylight before the order is placed. We keep a fitting record for every Edinburgh client so replacements can be reordered without a second template.

How Edinburgh's climate changes this build

Edinburgh doesn't get as much total rainfall as Glasgow or the west coast, but it makes up for that with wind — sitting open to the Firth of Forth means a steady, often sharp coastal wind for much of the year, plus the local haar, a sea fog that can roll in off the North Sea and blanket the city even on an otherwise dry day.

That combination of wind and damp sea fog is harder on an exposed hairline than steady rain is, because it's persistent rather than occasional — a client walking the Royal Mile or along the Meadows is rarely out of the wind entirely. It also dries skin out at the same time as the air feels damp, which can catch people off guard when it comes to adhesive performance.

For a custom wig 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

  • Cap measured to eight head points, so there is no slipping or gripping
  • Soft, seam-free interior for sensitive scalps during treatment
  • Lace or silk front with a hand-tied, bleached-knot hairline
  • Optional second cap in a shorter length for everyday wear

Where we fit a custom wig in Edinburgh

Edinburgh doesn't have a studio yet, so consultations, fittings and repairs are all home visits, run to a scheduled rota rather than one-off bookings wherever possible.

Our core route covers the Old Town and New Town on foot given how compact the centre is. A second follows the tram line out to the West End, Haymarket and Corstorphine toward the airport, and a third covers Leith and the coastal run out to Portobello.

For clients who'd rather not have a technician visit a shared flat or office, we can meet at a private space near Waverley station or St Andrew Square on request.

Owning a custom wig in Edinburgh: the twelve-month view

At 9 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.

Custom Hair Wig in Edinburgh — questions we get asked

How much does a custom wig cost in Edinburgh?
£940 – £2,180 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 Edinburgh. What does change your quote is base material, hair grade, coverage area and density.
How long does a custom wig take in Edinburgh?
12–15 days fully custom. The consultation and template take about 45 minutes and can happen at your home anywhere in Edinburgh; the fitting itself is a separate appointment once the unit arrives.
How often will I need servicing in Edinburgh?
Every four to eight weeks — roughly 9 visits a year. Edinburgh's drier air stretches the interval well beyond what a wearer in a humid city gets from the same adhesive.
Do you fit a custom wig at home in Edinburgh?
Yes, and most Edinburgh clients choose it. Free doorstep consultation anywhere across Edinburgh and the Lothians. Templating, fitting, servicing and repairs all happen at home to the same standard as a studio visit, at the same price.
