Everything you
want to know
before you call.
01Getting started & the process
So the first thing that happens is a chat — either in person here in Sydney or over the phone, whichever suits you. We’ll talk through what’s bothering you, look at some photos of your hair, and together work out the right colour, density and style. Once we’ve got all that sorted we get to work on your patch using 100% real human hair. When it’s ready we either do the fitting here or send it straight to your door.
And honestly? There’s zero pressure at the consultation stage. Loads of people just want to have a conversation first before committing to anything — that’s completely fine with us.

Nope, you don’t have to! Honestly a big chunk of our clients are interstate or overseas and we sort everything remotely without any issues. We’ll do the consultation over the phone or a video call, you send us your photos and measurements, and we ship straight to you.
That said — if you can pop in, it does make the colour matching a bit easier and things tend to go smoothly first time. But it’s genuinely not a requirement.

Usually a few weeks from when we’ve got all your details confirmed. We don’t like to rush it — getting the colour and base right takes care and we’d much rather take the time to do it properly than cut corners.
We’ll always give you a realistic timeframe right from the start and keep you in the loop as things progress. Got a wedding, event or special occasion coming up? Just mention it early and we’ll do our best to work around your date.

For remote orders, we’ll need some clear photos of your hair in natural light — top, sides and front — and a few simple measurements of the area you’d like covered. Don’t stress about this though, we walk you through exactly what we need step by step. You won’t be left guessing.
If you’re coming in? Just bring yourself. We take care of everything from there.

100% yes. We see men and women of all ages, hair types and stages of hair loss — whether it’s early thinning, a bare patch at the crown, or something more significant. Because every patch is made completely custom, there’s no cookie-cutter solution. We figure out what works for you specifically.
02About real human hair
The simplest way to put it — real hair just acts like hair. It moves the way hair moves, catches light the way hair does, and feels completely normal when you touch it. Synthetic hair has this subtle uniform texture that can look slightly off, especially in certain lighting or on camera. Real hair doesn’t have that problem because it’s literally the same thing as what’s already on your head.
You can also cut, colour and style real human hair exactly like your own. With synthetic you’re pretty much stuck with what arrives.

We use ethically sourced real human hair, chosen carefully for quality — the right texture, weight and natural appearance. From there it gets colour-matched to your specific shade before anything is made. We take a lot of care over this part because it really is the foundation that everything else is built on.
Yes! Because it’s real human hair, your barber or hairdresser can cut and style it just like the rest of your hair. Most of our clients just take it along to their regular appointment — and plenty of stylists have no idea they’re working with a patch at all.
Colouring is usually fine too. If you’re thinking about bleaching or anything quite heavy chemically, just give us a heads up first so we can advise on how to protect the base.

Honestly, this is probably the thing we hear most. And yes — genuinely different. The texture alone you’d notice straight away. Synthetic hair reflects light oddly and sits on the scalp in a way that real hair simply doesn’t.
If a bad experience has put you off, please don’t write it off without chatting to us first. Some of our most loyal clients came in having completely given up — and they’re now really glad they gave it one more go.

03Will it look & feel natural?
Not if it’s done well — and that’s exactly what we’re here to make sure of. The whole thing only works if it genuinely looks like your own hair, so we spend a lot of time on the details that matter: the colour, the density, and especially the hairline.
We’ve got clients who’ve been wearing patches for years without their partners, friends or coworkers ever twigging. That said, the result really does depend on the quality of information we start with — which is why we take the consultation seriously and ask a lot of questions.

The hairline is really where it makes or breaks — and we spend a lot of care on it. We don’t make hairlines that are razor-sharp and perfect, because real hairlines aren’t like that. The base sits flush and is skin-toned so it blends naturally.
We’ve got clients who present on camera regularly, work under stage lights, or stand in front of people all day. Because it’s real hair it just doesn’t behave strangely under lighting the way synthetic can.

Yes, and we have plenty of clients who are really active — gym, swimming, surfing, the lot. The attachment method and base type we recommend can vary depending on your lifestyle, which is why we always ask about it during the consultation.
The more you share with us about your daily routine, the better we can make sure everything suits your life perfectly. There are no silly questions — we want to get this right for you.

The hair itself feels like hair — because it is. In everyday situations, touch really isn’t something most people encounter as an issue at all.
If it is something on your mind — maybe you’re thinking about a partner or little ones who like a cuddle — please do mention it during your consultation. There are attachment options that are especially well-suited for that kind of closeness, and we’ll make sure we find the right one for you.

We do our absolute best to nail the colour first time — and genuinely, most of the time we do. Very occasionally, especially with remote orders, a small tweak is needed. If that ever happens, please just reach out and we’ll sort it out together. We care about you being happy with the result, full stop.
This is also why the consultation is so valuable — the more we understand about your hair upfront, the smoother everything goes.

04Maintenance & care
Pretty much the same as looking after your own hair, to be honest. Gentle shampoo, conditioner, careful brushing. We include detailed care instructions with every order so you’re not left figuring it out yourself.
The main things to be gentle with are the edges of the base — just don’t scrub at them — and we’d suggest using a sulphate-free shampoo if you can. We’ll walk you through all of this when your patch arrives.

Yep, most things are absolutely fine. Real human hair responds to product just like your own — wax, clay, pomade, spray, whatever you normally use. The only thing to be a bit careful with is anything very heavy with oil right at the base, as that can affect the adhesion over time. But your regular styling routine? No problem at all.
Like anything that gets daily wear, it won’t last indefinitely. How long it goes depends on how well it’s looked after, how active you are, and the attachment style. Most clients come back to us periodically to freshen things up — quite a few of them have become regulars!
We’ll give you a really honest picture of what to expect for your specific situation when we chat. No vague promises.

It depends on the attachment type! Some are made for extended wear — yes, including sleeping — and others aren’t really designed for that. We’ll talk it through at the consultation because it partly comes down to what kind of daily routine you actually want. Some people prefer to take it off at night, others want to forget it’s even there. Both are valid and both are doable.
05Cost & what’s included
It varies because everything we make is custom — the size of the area, the base type and the hair density all play a part. So there isn’t a single fixed price we can put here.
What we can promise is complete transparency on pricing. You’ll always get a clear quote before anything is confirmed — no hidden costs, no surprises. And if you’re curious, just ask us — we’re always happy to talk it through. A lot of people are pleasantly surprised when they hear what’s involved. We’d love the chance to chat about what might work for you.

Yes, totally free — and no obligation whatsoever. We know this is a big decision for a lot of people and the last thing we want to do is rush you. Pop in or give us a call, have a good chat, ask every question you’ve got, and take as much time as you need to think about it. No pressure from us.
The consultation, your custom-made patch using 100% real human hair, and the fitting if you’re visiting us in Sydney. For remote and international orders, shipping is on top of that.
We’ll always spell out exactly what’s included in your quote before you confirm anything — we like to keep things clear and simple.

It’s a fair question and the honest answer is that it’s genuinely a different product. Off-the-shelf patches online are typically generic sizing, often synthetic or lower-grade hair — and there’s no one tailoring it to your specific colour, shape or needs.
We hear from a lot of people who tried that route first. A custom patch made from real human hair, with a proper colour match and a fitting — that takes care and skill, and the difference really does show. You’re investing in something made just for you.

06Remote orders & shipping
Absolutely! We’ve delivered to clients all across Australia — it’s a very normal part of what we do. We’re based in Sydney but distance really isn’t a barrier. We’ll sort you out with shipping costs and honest delivery timeframes when we put together your quote.
We ask for a few clear photos in natural daylight — no filters, please, and try to avoid harsh artificial lighting. Top of the head, sides, and ideally one that shows your natural root colour. That’s usually plenty for us to get a really good match.
If we feel we need anything else before we commit to a shade, we’ll just ask. We’d rather take an extra day than get the colour slightly off.

Please don’t worry if something feels slightly off when it arrives — just reach out and we’ll take care of it together. We include guidance with every order on how to trim the base if needed, which often sorts small fitting questions easily. And if it’s something more, we’re here to help. Your happiness with the result genuinely matters to us.
07For first-timers & nervous clients
So normal. Honestly, most people who call us have been sitting on it for months, sometimes years. There’s often a bit of embarrassment wrapped up in even picking up the phone — and we completely get that.
There is zero judgement here, genuinely. We do this every single day and we’ve heard every version of this story. The consultation is private, completely relaxed, and there’s no obligation at all. Loads of people just ring up to ask questions first and figure it out from there. That’s absolutely fine.

Here’s the thing — most of our clients never breathe a word to anyone, and most people around them genuinely never work it out. That’s kind of the whole goal. Hair loss is incredibly common, doing something about it is incredibly common, and there’s nothing at all strange about wanting to feel good about how you look.
In our experience, the people in your life are way more focused on how you carry yourself than what’s on your head.

Absolutely yes, and we want to be clear about this because women’s hair loss is still something that doesn’t get talked about nearly enough. It’s incredibly common and it can really affect how you feel about yourself day to day. We work with female clients all the time — thinning at the part, the crown, general diffuse loss, or post-treatment regrowth.
The approach for women is often quite different to men and we treat it that way. The goal is always for it to blend seamlessly with your own hair so it just looks fuller and like you.

That’s completely understandable to wonder about, and we want you to feel comfortable. We do everything we can throughout the process to make sure you’re happy before anything is finalised — that’s really important to us.
Because every patch is made entirely from scratch just for you, completed orders aren’t something we can refund — but we genuinely invest in getting it right. And in our experience, most of the hesitation people feel is before the patch arrives. Once it does, the vast majority of clients are so glad they took the step.

Just that we genuinely care about getting this right for you — not just making a sale. We take the time to understand your situation properly and we’ll always be honest with you about what will and won’t work.
The consultation is free, relaxed, and there’s absolutely no commitment involved. So many people tell us afterwards that they wish they’d called sooner. We’d love to hear from you whenever you feel ready.

Absolutely. All consultations are 100% confidential. Your privacy is our highest priority, always.
