Cranial Prosthesis Services
Custom cranial hair prostheses designed for medical hair loss patients. Our breathable, ventilated units replicate natural hair patterns while providing scalp protection and temperature regulation. Specialists work directly with dermatologists to create personalized solutions for chemotherapy, alopecia, and genetic conditions. Each prosthesis undergoes precise fitting and styling to ensure comfort during daily wear.
Hair Replacement Maintenance
Comprehensive maintenance for existing hair replacement systems. Services include adhesive reapplication, tapered nape reshaping, deep conditioning, and style adjustments. We specialize in preserving unit integrity while addressing natural hair growth patterns. Clients receive guidance on at-home care routines to extend service life between professional appointments.
Textured Hair Extensions
Custom-textured extensions including Brazilian deep curls, Peruvian straight, and exotic wave patterns. Each installation begins with a consultation to match natural hair characteristics. Technicians use secure yet gentle application methods suitable for both temporary and long-term wear. Available in multiple color blends and density options for seamless integration.

Specialized crochet technique for severe alopecia patients. Includes shampoo, conditioning, and tapered styling with included hair. The method allows for natural movement while maintaining secure attachment. Technicians customize parting patterns and density to create realistic scalp visibility and volume distribution.
