Men’s Hair System Timing FAQ’s
How long does a hair system appointment take?
Hair system appointments for first-time application take the longest and by hair salon standards are comparable to hair colour appointments. The first-time appointment takes on average three to four hours, depending on the complexity of the application. This process for applying a hair system is very intricate and takes the form of preparing the scalp, measuring, cutting, ensuring that your system is securely attached and cutting to ensuring a consistent shape. The first appointment will also represent an introduction to hair systems so overcoming questions, obstacles and fitting will initially take slightly longer.
How long does a consultation take?
The first contact with your chosen hair system specialist is a consultation. Consultations range from 15 minutes to 45 minutes on average and these cover what hair systems are, the type of base, what they consist of, your suitability, what might work best for you, any questions that you might have, colour matching and appointment availability. This consultation will also present an opportunity to discuss different types of hair systems, attachment methods, and maintenance requirements.
How long is the wait between an enquiry and an appointment?
The wait between a consultation and an appointment is typically the timeline between ordering your hair system and its arrival. Most hair systems are handmade so it’s important to recognise that these are not same-week turnarounds and they require approximately two weeks between consultation and first appointment when ordering hair hair system. Some hair systems are bespoke, whether that includes a side parting, double crown or similar and the wait can represent a longer timeframe. However given hair systems stay on, in our view it’s worth the two week wait.
How long do hair systems take to order?
Generally 10 days to two weeks is the accepted turnaround for most hair systems. Some hair systems can take longer to arrive if they are a custom made order. ‘Off-the-shelf’ hair systems can often be available much more readily which are tailored to match specific hair colours, textures, and densities, whereas more specific requirements which are more niche can take longer.
Conclusion
If you’re considering a men’s hair system, they are not same day or same week appointments if this is a first-time visit. Between consultation and first-time appointment, the wait is typically around two weeks to ensure manufacture and successful delivery of your hair system. If you are considering a hair system for the first time, it is always a good idea to schedule a consultation as your first step with a view as to when you feel you would benefit from an appointment. This will help you to ensure that your ideal time-frame for when you seek an appointment is achievable.
