Hair System Fitting in London for Men

No. The system is attached to the surface of your scalp with tape or a skin safe glue, and nothing goes under the skin. There is no surgery, no cutting of the scalp and no recovery time, so you can carry on with your day as normal.

A first hair system fitting starts from £495. That includes the consultation, the system, the fitting, cutting, blending and styling. The exact price depends on the base type and how much thickness you need, and you will be told the full price at your consultation. Maintenance visits are £100 each.

A first fitting usually takes 2 to 3 hours, from the consultation to the final cut and styling. Refit appointments are shorter, at 60 to 90 minutes, because the system is already made and only needs to be cleaned and attached again.

Yes, once the bond has settled. A liquid bond holds up best for swimming and sport. After swimming or a hard workout, rinse the hairline with fresh water to keep the hair and the base in good condition.

Most men come back every 4 to 6 weeks. How often depends on your attachment method, your skin and how active you are. We set your refit plan at your first fitting, so your next visit is always booked.

A wig sits on top of your head and comes off every day. A hair system is attached to your scalp and worn all the time between maintenance visits. It has a very thin base that is made to look natural, so it looks like your own hair and not like something sitting on your head.

Often, yes. Same day fitting is available for suitable systems. The studio works by appointment, and one specialist looks after each fitting, so you get their full attention from start to finish.

You can get a hair system fitting at The Hair Standard, our private studio in NW10, a short walk from Willesden Junction and close to Kensal Green. Men come to us from Brent, Willesden, Harrow and across West and North West London. Every visit is by appointment, with one named specialist.

There is very little to do. Come with your hair at its normal length, so your specialist can see how it grows and where it is thinning. Bring a photo or two of hairstyles you like, and tell us if you train, swim or wear a hat every day. Eat something first, because a first fitting can take 2 to 3 hours.

Yes, and it is free. The consultation is where we look at your hair loss, talk about the base and the attachment method, and answer your questions. There is no pressure to book. If a hair system is not the right choice for you, we will tell you honestly.

A well fitted and well looked after system is hard to spot in everyday life. The natural hairline, the colour match and the hand cut blend do most of the work. Regular refits keep it looking that way, because the system stays fresh and the cut stays neat as your own hair grows.

Yes. Many men keep the hair they have at the sides and back, and the system is cut in together with it so the two blend. If your own hair is very thin, your specialist will talk you through the best way to blend it at your consultation.

Neither is best for everyone. Tape is quick to apply, easy to remove and good if you are new to hair systems. Liquid bond gives the strongest and longest lasting hold, so it suits men who swim or play sport. We recommend the right one for your skin and your routine at your consultation.

Tell your specialist as early as you can, ideally at your consultation. Skin that reacts easily to adhesives is common, and there are options, such as a different attachment method or a different base. It is much easier to plan for this before the fitting than to deal with it a week later.

Yes, a hair system can work at most stages of hair loss. It can rebuild a receding hairline, add thickness to a thinning crown, or cover advanced hair loss, because it does not need your own hair to work. It covers hair loss and does not treat the cause, so if your hair loss is sudden or patchy, see your GP first.
