How the install method works
The service begins with your hair braided into a V or U part foundation that leaves a natural-looking area for the wig base. Technicians then sew the wig onto that braided foundation to anchor the cap; this method creates a seamless edge and a comfortable, secure fit without working with lace wig techniques.
You should expect a focused session where the braid pattern and stitch placement are chosen to match your wig and desired hairline. This service is completed in a single appointment and results in a ready-to-style wig installation with a smooth, continuous finish that blends with your natural part.
What to expect during appointment
Appointments start with a brief consultation about part shape, cap placement and the look you want. Stylists braid your hair down into the chosen V or U part, then carefully sew the wig onto the braided base. The process emphasizes secure stitching and a tidy braid-down so the wig lays flat and looks natural.
