What a hair system actually costs

Money is usually the question people most want answered and feel most awkward asking. We understand why — too much of this industry hides its prices until you are sitting in the chair. So we will do the opposite here and put the numbers in front of you before you have committed to anything at all.

There are really two costs to understand: the upfront cost of the system itself, and the ongoing cost of keeping it looking its best. Once you can see both clearly, the rest of the decision becomes much calmer.

The upfront system price

The system is the made-to-measure piece — the base, the hand-knotted human hair, the colour-matching and the fitting. We offer three, and the price reflects the base type rather than any difference in care or craft:

• Signature Silk — from £495. Our longest-lasting base, typically 14–18 months. Often the most sensible place to start.
• Platinum Hybrid — from £495. A balance of natural front and durable back, typically 12–14 months.
• Executive Lace — from £495. The lightest, most breathable and most realistic at the hairline, typically 8–12 months.

That figure includes the consultation work, the fitting appointment and cutting the system into your own hairline. You walk out the same day with a finished result. We explain how each base differs, and who each suits, in the complete guide to hair systems.

The maintenance cycle

The hair in a system is real, so it benefits from regular professional care in the same way your own hair does. Every four to six weeks you come in for a maintenance visit, which is around £60. In that visit we lift the system, clean underneath, re-bond it securely and re-style it so it looks fresh.

It helps to think of this less as a repair and more as the upkeep that keeps the result invisible. A system that is maintained on schedule simply never has the chance to look tired. We walk through exactly what you can do at home between visits in how to care for your hair system.

If you would rather spread the cost

Not everyone wants to pay for a system in one go, so we offer a monthly plan. It starts from £300 to begin — two hair systems included across the year — then £85 a month thereafter. For many people that turns an occasional larger outlay into a predictable monthly figure they barely think about — closer to the cost of a gym membership than a medical procedure.

Whichever route you choose, there are no surprise add-ons layered on top. The consultation will tell you the full figure for your situation before you decide anything.

How it compares over time

It is fair to ask how a system stacks up against the alternatives, so here is an honest sketch rather than a sales pitch.

• Against concealers and fibres: sprays, powders and daily fixes are cheap each time but never-ending, and they wash away in rain or at the gym. Over a few years the small sums add up while the underlying problem stays the same.
• Against a transplant: surgery is a one-off cost that is usually far higher upfront, with healing time and a result that depends on your remaining donor hair. A system asks less of you in one go and gives you the look immediately. We weigh the two fairly in hair system vs hair transplant.
• Against SMP: scalp micropigmentation, from £395, recreates the look of closely shaved hair rather than length. It is a different result for a different goal; we compare them in SMP vs hair systems, and you can read about the service itself under SMP on our services page.

None of these is universally cheapest or best. They simply suit different people, and the right comparison is the one made around your hair, your budget and your life — which is exactly what the consultation is for.

Why the free consultation matters

We keep the first appointment free and obligation-free on purpose. Quoting a real price needs us to see your hairline, the area involved and the look you are after — and you deserve to ask every cost question without a sales pressure in the room. It takes about an hour, you can see the systems and feel the bases, and you are free to leave and think it over.
