Who/Where Can You Go to Do a Wig Install

Before you use the tool, it may be helpful to you to learn about the types of results you’ll get. When it comes to getting a wig install, you have several options, and they include:

• Wig salon- You can expect a reasonable degree of technical expertise at a wig salon, since those working there are likely to be certified in some way. 

• Individual stylist- An individual stylist who is not affiliated with a wig salon may not have the same amount of experience as someone in a wig salon. However, you may be able to get your wig installed for less money with an individual stylist than you would if you choose a wig salon.

• Wig store- Sometimes, you can purchase your wig and get it installed at the same place. These types of wig stores are difficult to find, but they are out there. It's super convenient not to have to meet up with a stylist and make an appointment to go get your wig install after you've already purchased your wig. That's the appeal of getting your wig installed at a wig store. Find a wig store near you use our wig store locator.

There are several factors that affect the services that you can expect at each of these places. Some stylists, for example, may offer all the services that a wig salon may offer. However, you may come across individual stylists who offer an extensive array of wig styling services. But, in general, you may be able to get lace fronts, full lace, and 360 lace wigs installed by capable hands if you choose a stylist affiliated with a wig salon versus an individual stylist.

Wig Install Price

The price of a wig install may vary based on a variety of factors. For instance, in an area where the cost of living is high, you can expect to pay a little more for a wig install than you would in an area with a lower cost of living.

Also, the price of your wig install will depend on the type of wig you need installed and how much time it will take to get it to look natural and beautiful on you.

Lastly, the price of your wig install will depend on the person or business doing it. It may be more cost-effective to get your wig installed by an individual stylist rather than at a wig salon, where prices are usually more expensive.

The cost of getting a wig installed will usually include braiding down your natural hair, putting on the adhesive, putting on your wig, and then making it look natural via plucking, baby hair styling, etc. But remember that each stylist or salon reserves the right to include whichever services in the wig install that they want.

It's also important to know that the cost will depend on which method your stylist will be using to install the wig. There are many wig installation methods you can choose from, including glue, wig grips, and sewing. A wig installation using glue will be much less expensive than ones that require sewing.

But what many know is that a wig install is not a small expense. In most cases, you can expect to pay close to $150 or more for your wig install regardless of your location.

In the below section, we will give you some general price ranges for the most common wig installation services.

• Lace front wig install price range - To get a lace front wig installed, you should plan to pay around $150. The cost usually includes braiding your hair down, securing the wig on your head, and styling it so it looks natural. Some charge more than $200 for a lace front wig install.

• Full lace wig/360 lace wig install price - To get a full lace wig or 360 lace wig installed, prepare to pay at least $200. Depending on the experience level of your stylist and availability, the price could be over $300.

• Other services price - They are certain add-on services that you can request during your wig install, and they include a wig wash, a special wig style, bundle dying, etc. These extras could cost you anywhere from $25-$50 or more each.

Why Go for a Wig Install Service Near You

Getting a wig install service near you is an excellent idea for anyone who is either inexperienced with installing wigs or is preparing for a special occasion where they need to look flawless. Here are some of the top reasons why professional wig installs are a fantastic choice:

1. Expertise- A professional stylist will have the expertise necessary to braid your hair correctly, lay your lace down naturally, and style your wig, giving you a finished look that’s sure to impress. Not only that, but many stylists will offer advice regarding which installation method will provide you with the look you want.
