What moves the price
- Medical or fashion wig — a medical wig fitting after hair loss usually takes longer, with more care over comfort and cap fit.
- Experience of the stylist — a stylist experienced in custom wig fitting usually charges more for the time.
- Type of wig being fitted — a human hair wig or custom cap construction usually costs more than a synthetic, ready-made wig.
- Complexity of the fitting — a custom wig needs measuring and several adjustments, while a ready-made wig fits more quickly.
- Additional styling services requested — cutting, colouring or curling the wig is often priced on top of the fitting.
- Specific needs of the client — a sensitive scalp may need a softer cap or extra adjustments, which adds to the wig fitting time.

How to pay less
- A ready-made synthetic wig usually costs less to fit than a custom human hair wig, so you can ask the stylist to price both.
- Bringing a wig you already own to be fitted and styled costs less than buying a new wig through the fitter.
- Following the stylist's care advice helps the wig last longer, so you need to replace it less often.
- Choosing a wig already close to the cut and colour you want cuts down on paid styling time at the fitting.
- Having cutting and styling done in the same wig fitting appointment can cost less than coming back for each separately.
Before you book
- A clear idea of the desired wig style and colour.
- Access to the fitting area with good lighting for accurate adjustments.
- You can ask about the stylist's experience with wig fitting, especially for medical hair loss if that applies to you.
- Mention any scalp sensitivity or allergies before the fitting, so the stylist can suggest a suitable wig cap.
- Say whether you want a human hair or synthetic wig, as it changes the care, the fitting and the price.
- Check the price and what the wig fitting includes, such as cutting, styling or later adjustments.
- You can ask whether the wig cap and materials are hypoallergenic, especially if your scalp is sensitive during the fitting.
