How much does a cancer patient wig cost in Edinburgh?

£390 – £1,870 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 cancer patient wig take in Edinburgh?

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 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 cancer patient 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.

Wigs for Cancer Patients in Edinburgh

Choosing wigs for cancer patients in Edinburgh comes down to three things: base material, hair quality and who fits it. 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. We keep a fitting record for every Edinburgh client so replacements can be reordered without a second template.

Price in Edinburgh: £390 – £1,870
Turnaround: 7–10 days fully custom, rushed to 3–5 days when treatment starts sooner

Best for: Anyone starting cancer treatment who wants a matched wig ready before hair loss begins.

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.

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 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 cancer patient 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.

Aftercare schedule for a cancer patient wig in Edinburgh
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.
