A hair system in London starts from £495 for a first time fitting, which includes consultation, cutting, blending and styling at our private NW10 studio. Exact hair system cost depends on your base type, whether full lace, thin skin or monofilament, and the hair density needed. Ongoing hair system maintenance runs from £60 to £100 per visit, usually every four to six weeks. Many clients save by booking a package, such as our Confidence Maintained plan covering two systems, fittings and twelve maintenance visits, rather than paying for each hair system fitting separately across a year.

— A custom made, breathable base bonded to your scalp, blending seamlessly with your own hair.
What Is a Hair System?
A hair system is a custom made hairpiece built on a breathable base and bonded directly to the scalp, giving a full, natural looking head of hair without surgery. Each system fitted at our NW10 studio is hand crafted to match your hair colour, density, wave pattern and skin tone, so the hairline sits flush against the scalp and is virtually undetectable, even close up. Unlike a stock wig, a hair system is designed for daily wear: you can wash it, style it, sleep in it and train in it, living exactly as you would with your own hair. Men across London, from Brent and Willesden to the wider NW postcodes, choose a hair system over a wig or a transplant because it delivers an immediate, natural result with none of the surgery, recovery time or ongoing medication that other hair loss treatments involve.
— Hair loss is personal. The solution should be too.
Who Hair Systems Are For?
Hair systems are designed for men experiencing different stages and patterns of hair loss, from a receding hairline and thinning hair to advanced male pattern baldness and complete hair loss. A bespoke men’s hair system can be tailored to your individual level of hair loss, hairstyle, hair colour, density, and desired coverage.
Whether you need subtle hairline restoration or a full hair replacement solution, your system is made to look natural and blend seamlessly with your existing hair. Each hair system is individually fitted, cut, styled, and maintained to create a realistic, discreet result that suits you not a one-size-fits-all approach.
— How it stays on
How Hair System Bonding and Adhesive Works?
A hair system is held in place with a skin safe, medical grade adhesive, either a liquid bond or double sided tape, chosen to match your skin type and how active your lifestyle is.
Adhesive bond
Liquid or tape adhesive, chosen based on your skin type and how active your lifestyle is. Liquid bonds give the strongest, longest lasting hold, favoured by clients who swim, play sport or want the least day to day maintenance. Tape is easier to remove and reapply yourself between visits.
Wear cycle
Once applied, the bond holds securely through showering, sleeping, exercise and swimming, right up to your next scheduled maintenance appointment at our London studio, typically every four to six weeks.
— Base types
Men’s Hair System Base Types: Lace, Skin & Monofilament
The base is the foundation of your hair system, with each option offering a different balance of natural appearance, breathability, comfort and durability. For men looking for a hair system in London, choosing the right base depends on your lifestyle, hair loss, preferred hairstyle and how you want your finished result to look and feel.
From lightweight lace for maximum breathability to realistic skin and durable monofilament bases, we’ll help you choose the right men’s hair system base for your needs.
Base type
Look
Breathability
Typical lifespan
Full Lace
The most natural-looking hairline of the three, with an almost invisible front and hair that can be styled and parted in any direction.
High. The sheer lace weave allows air and moisture to reach the scalp, helping keep the system comfortable.
3–4 months with regular maintenance. The most delicate option, so it requires careful daily handling.
Thin Skin (PU)
A very natural-looking hairline edge, with hair set in a fixed and realistic growth direction. Easy to clean and maintain.
Moderate. The thin polyurethane layer breathes less than lace but offers greater resistance to sweat and moisture.
4–6 months. A more durable option for men looking for reliable everyday wear.
Monofilament
A natural, scalp-like appearance combined with a strong and dependable construction. Often chosen by men who need added durability or have sensitive scalps.
Moderate to high, depending on the density and weave used in the hair system.
4–8 months. The longest-lasting and most hard-wearing of the three base types.

The system is cut to size and the base is prepared to fit your exact head shape before it is bonded.
04
Fit
The system is bonded, cut in and blended into your own hair, then styled to finish, so the join is invisible from every angle.
05
Live
You leave the studio ready to shower, train, sleep and go about normal daily life, with your next maintenance visit already booked in.
—Life with a system
What It’s Like to Wear a Men’s Hair System in London
A well-fitted hair system is designed around ordinary life, so you can wear it comfortably as part of your daily routine. The right care habits can help protect both the bond and the hair, whether you are working, exercising, styling your hair, or going about your day in London. Simple steps such as gentle washing, careful brushing, and following the recommended maintenance schedule can help keep your hair system looking natural and performing well for longer.
—How long it lasts
How Long a Hair System Lasts?
Most systems last between three and twelve months. Delicate bases prioritise the most invisible finish; stronger bases trade a little delicacy for a longer working life. Your specialist will make the trade-offs clear.

Common questions
Everything You Need to Know About Hair Systems in London
Most men who book a hair system fitting are dealing with male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia), which affects the hairline and crown first and is largely genetic. Others are managing alopecia areata, hair loss after chemotherapy, or thinning caused by previous surgery or scarring. A hair system is not a medical treatment for the underlying cause, it is a cosmetic solution that restores the appearance of a full head of hair regardless of what caused the loss.
No. A wig or toupee typically sits on top of the head and is removed daily, while a modern hair system is bonded to the scalp and worn continuously between maintenance visits, with a thin, breathable base designed to be undetectable rather than visibly sitting on the head.
Hair system, hair replacement and non surgical hair replacement are largely the same product described in different ways. Hair replacement is the broader industry term, non surgical hair replacement specifically distinguishes the approach from a hair transplant, and hair system usually refers to the physical piece itself, the base and hair fitted to the scalp.
Across a year, most clients at our London studio spend from around £495 for the first fitting plus roughly £60 to £100 per maintenance visit every four to six weeks. Package pricing, such as the Confidence Maintained package covering two systems and twelve maintenance visits, can work out cheaper than paying for each visit separately across a year. Exact costs are confirmed at consultation based on the base type and amount of hair required.
Yes. A hair system can be built to cover only the areas affected, such as the hairline or temples, rather than the full scalp. This is common for men in the earlier stages of a receding hairline who want a natural, undetectable edge without changing hair they have not yet lost.
Yes. Unlike a transplant, which depends on having enough healthy donor hair to move, a hair system does not require any of your own hair to work, which makes it one of the few options available to men with advanced or total hair loss.
A studio fitted hair system, like those fitted at The Hair Standard in London, is measured, colour matched and cut to your exact head shape by a specialist in person. A mail order or online hair system is made to standard sizes and colours and shipped for you to fit yourself at home, which is cheaper but almost always visibly less natural, particularly around the hairline.
Most clients can be seen for a consultation and same day fitting within one appointment at our NW10 studio, without a long wait list, since the studio works on an appointment only basis with one specialist handling each fitting personally.
The studio is at Dorset House, 845 Harrow Road, London NW10, in the Brent area of northwest London, a short walk from Willesden Junction station and close to Kensal Green. We welcome clients travelling from across London, including from the Harrow area, for their fitting and maintenance appointments.
