Hair loss has an effect on confidence and well-being, but toupees offer a non-surgical hair loss solution for restoring a natural-looking. In general, toupees consist of a base material and human hair, secured with tape or glue. They are a lifelong commitment, requiring regular replacements and financial investment.
Their costs factor in base materials, hair quality, and ventilation methods and so on. Human hair systems, particularly those made from 100% Remy human hair or rare European hair, are more natural-looking and durable but costlier than synthetic alternatives. Base materials, such as lace, thin skin, and monofilament, affect price based on their unique benefits. For instance, lace is breathable and undetectable, thin skin is easy to attach, and monofilament is durable. Customization options, such as density, color and grey hair percentage, also affect price. Advanced ventilation techniques, like injected and V-loop ventilation, enhance realism but come with a higher price.
SuperHairSystem caters to every budget with a variety of hair system options. Our high-quality products, customizable features, and flexible price ensure a solution for everyone seeking to address hair loss while maintaining a natural and seamless look.
Unit Costs:
The price of the hairpiece itself is the first cost to consider. At SuperHairSystem, a hair system comes in 2 base textures and materials: lace, skin, or a combination of the two. When compared to other options, SuperHairSystem’ high-quality hair units are unmatched in price, ranging from approximately $159 to $339 or more.
Installation Cost:
Once you have the hair system, it’s essential to factor in the costs associated with its installation. Professional salons offer a comprehensive range of services, including shaving and cleaning the scalp area, installing the new system, washing the hair, and cutting it to seamlessly blend with your natural hair. Visiting a professional salon is the most recommended approach, with costs typically ranging from $120 to $150.
Of course, some individuals prefer to installing the system themselves, which is absolutely ok and cost-effective as long as you do it professionally.
Daily Maintenance Costs:
Hair systems require meticulous care, so regular visits to a stylist for adjustments, cleaning, and reinstallation are essential. This maintenance is usually carried out every four to six weeks and costs around $70 to $100 per visit. However, just like installing a hair system, maintenance can also be done independently. This approach can save a significant amount of money.
Replacement and Repair Costs:
With consistent use, toupees can be prone to tearing. If the damage does not compromise the hair system’s visual appeal or functionality, professional repairs are an option. Using the proper techniques and tools, a skilled technician can restore your toupee seamlessly, making the repair virtually invisible.
The cost of repairs usually depends on the severity of the damage and the level of difficulty involved, ranging from $40 to $120. However, it’s important to note that not all tears are fixable, and in some cases, replacing the toupee may be the only viable solution.
Accessories Costs:
To keep your hair replacement system in optimal condition, investing in specialized hair care products like shampoos, conditioners, and adhesives is essential. Based on salon recommendations, these products may cost approximately $40 to $60 every six months and should be included in your yearly expenses. Consistent care can greatly enhance the durability and longevity of your hair system.
In addition, to maintain the natural and stylish appearance of your hair system, you may need to purchase accessories such as combs, brushes, styling products, and hairspray. The cost of these items varies depending on individual preferences and selected products. You can expect to spend an extra $50 to $100 each year on these items.
By planning your budget thoughtfully to cover these essentials, you can achieve a refined, natural appearance while making the most of your hair system’s value. To give you a clearer perspective, here’s a breakdown of the annual cost for a hair system:
Our thin skin toupees cost $239 each. You may need one unit every four months, which amounts to three units per year, totaling $717 annually.
| Unit Costs | Installation Costs | Maintenance Costs | Accessories Costs | All-in Costs |
| USD$717 | USD$450 | USD$560 | USD$200 | USD$1927 |
Your total annual expenses would be approximately $1,927.
If you find the cost slightly high, you could consider learning how to install and maintain your hair system yourself. By opting for a DIY approach, you could save a significant amount of money.
We hope this post helps you make an informed decision. Toupees can significantly enhance one’s appearance and overall confidence, making them a valuable option for those experiencing hair loss.
