Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Unit Install.

Most Unit Install appointments take 2–4 hours depending on unit size, hair length, density, and prep. Complex styles, thicker hair, or additional customization can extend time; we'll provide a clearer estimate during your consultation.

When installed by experienced stylists, Unit Installs cause minimal stress to natural hair. Proper foundation techniques and gentle handling reduce breakage risk. Pre-existing damage, tight installations, or poor aftercare can increase risk, so we assess hair health during consultation.

Pricing starts with a base Unit Install rate; length, thickness, and desired density affect cost. Longer or denser units require more material and time, so additional charges apply. We provide a personalized quote after a consultation and hair assessment.

We generally recommend waiting 24–48 hours before washing to allow adhesives and foundations to set. Styling can usually begin sooner for sewn or taped units, but always use gentle products, low heat, and follow aftercare instructions to protect the unit.

Longevity varies by method and care. Many clients enjoy 4–8 weeks of wear between maintenance visits; some installations, with careful upkeep, last longer. Regular maintenance and recommended home care preserve appearance and extend the unit's lifespan.

Yes. We offer custom color matching and blending during your appointment to ensure the unit matches and transitions naturally with your hair. Additional color services, toning, or cutting may incur extra fees, which we'll discuss during consultation.
