How much does a cancer patient wig cost in Boston?

$500 – $2,400 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 Boston. What does change your quote is base material, hair grade, coverage area and density.

How long does a cancer patient wig take in Boston?

7–10 days fully custom, rushed to 3–5 days when treatment starts sooner. The consultation and template take about 45 minutes and can happen at your home anywhere in Boston; the fitting itself is a separate appointment once the unit arrives.

How often will I need servicing in Boston?

Every four to eight weeks — roughly 9 visits a year. Boston's drier air stretches the interval well beyond what a wearer in a humid city gets from the same adhesive.

Do you fit a cancer patient wig at home in Boston?

Yes, and most Boston clients choose it. Free doorstep consultation anywhere across greater Boston. Templating, fitting, servicing and repairs all happen at home to the same standard as a studio visit, at the same price.

Wigs for Cancer Patients in Boston

wigs for cancer patients in Boston is not a shelf product — the density, base and hairline all have to be cut to your head. A medical wig matched to your own hair before chemotherapy or radiotherapy causes loss, on a soft, seam-free cap with no bonding or adhesive against a treatment-sensitive scalp. Turned around fast enough to be ready before your first cycle.

Our fittings run to a fixed price band, so there is no upsell on the chair. Clients from Boston usually book a weekday slot and pair the fitting with a trim.

Price in Boston: $500 – $2,400

Servicing: Every four to eight weeks
Best for: Anyone starting cancer treatment who wants a matched wig ready before hair loss begins.

How Boston's climate changes this build

A Nor'easter can bring wind-driven rain or snow and a sharp pressure and humidity swing inside a single day, and that abrupt change is harder on a bond edge than the same weather arriving gradually over a week the way it does further inland.

Coastal and harbor-adjacent neighborhoods add salt air on top of ordinary winter cold and road salt, a distinct chemical exposure from what an inland-neighborhood client deals with in the same city.

What is included

Colour, density and texture matched from your own hair while you still have it
Soft, seam-free cap with no bonding — nothing adhered to a scalp that may be sore or sensitive
Cranial prosthesis letter provided for insurance, FSA or HSA claims where your provider accepts one
Free follow-up refits through treatment as your head shape and comfort needs change

Where we fit a cancer patient wig in Boston

Boston does not 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 the inner city (Back Bay, South End, North End, Beacon Hill) on one rota, and Cambridge and Somerville along with the MBTA suburbs on another.

For clients who'd rather not have a fitting done at home or the office, we can meet near a T stop on request.

Owning a cancer patient wig in Boston: 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.

Aftercare schedule for a cancer patient wig in Boston
When	What happens
First 1-2 weeks	Comfort check. We confirm the cap sits well against hair that is starting to shed, and adjust padding or sizing if the fit needs to change.
As needed through treatment	Free refit. Scalp sensitivity, swelling and hair regrowth pattern can all change how a cap should sit — refits are included, not charged separately, for the length of your treatment.
Ongoing	Wash and care guidance suited to daily wear, including how to keep the cap comfortable against skin that may be more sensitive than usual.
Regrowth phase	A plan for transitioning off the wig as your own hair returns, or keeping it in rotation for security during the patchy regrowth stage — whichever you prefer.

Book a consultation and we will tell you plainly whether a system is right for your stage of loss.
