In the world of hair replacement, there are many faithfulhair wearers out there wearing custom hair pieces. One thing that many peoplemay not know is that what they've purchased as a custom hair piece is actuallynothing more than a stock hair piece. Often times, hair replacement companieswill sell customers ?custom hair?, then take a hair piece out of their owninventory and modify it to the clients specifications. Now, there is nothingwrong with doing this at all, in fact, it makes a lot of sense if you thinkabout it. The only thing that's wrong with this picture is that the consumer isbeing misled by the hair replacement company to believe that they are beingsold a custom hair piece, when it is simply not true.
What does this mean? It means if you've had doubts that yourcustom hair piece is really custom, you're probably right. This practice isrampant in the industry and unfortunately many faithful customers areunknowingly being duped.
When you purchase a custom piece, it is custom for a reason.Most people fit into stock hair very well, and have no need for the extra expenseof a custom hair piece. A consumer would need a custom hair piece because theyhave an uncommon head size, need an uncommon color, use an uncommon baseconstruction, or an uncommon type of hair. When any of the above is the case,the consumer really does need a custom hair piece, and that is why it is allthe more important that the hair piece is actually custom made. If a hairreplacement company simply modifies a hair piece for a client needinga custom, they are vastly increasing the odds that the hair piece will not be a100% match. When a customer orders a custom hair piece, it should always be a100% perfect match, and look 100% natural. That's the whole point of ordering acustom piece. While many people fit perfectly into stock hair pieces, othersare willing to make small concessions to allow for the less expensive price andincreased convenience of order a stock piece. A custom piece means that theconsumer is paying full price for a custom made hair pieces, and under nocircumstances should they have to make any concessions about the appearance orcomfortability of the hair piece. Unfortunately many unscrupulous hairreplacement companies simply do not care that much about the satisfaction of 1 individualcustomer, and they are perfectly willing to sacrifice quality in order to savemoney. On the good side, there of course many hair replacement companies thatdo provide 100% custom hairpieces, and are not disguising stock hair as custom hair.
Sometimes it can be difficult to tell, but there are a fewthings for consumers to take note of. Most importantly, look for a customersatisfaction policy. If your hair replacement company isn't willing to makesure your custom hair is made 100% correctly, it simply isn't in your bestinterest to do business with them. Production time is another factor. It shouldalways take a good 4-6 weeks for a custom hair piece to be produced. If yourproduction time is significantly less than that, it should be a red flag.
