Wig installation that stays put day and night

Wig installation is for you if you want your wig to stay put – at work, at the gym, in the wind and while you sleep. At Fairwithhair in Stockholm and Uppsala we install wigs in two ways: we sew the wig onto braids (Wig Installation) or we secure it with tape or wig glue. Both methods are carried out in our salon by our wig specialists, and we help you choose the one that suits your hair, your skin and your life.

Why have your wig installed?
The most common worry for new wig wearers is that the wig will slip. With a professional installation the hair stays secure, so you can move, train and hug people without thinking about it. Many people also choose an installation so they do not have to take the wig on and off every day. All our wigs are glueless and can be worn without glue or tape – the installation is an option for you if you want extra peace of mind.

Sewn-in installation – Wig Installation
With a sewn-in installation your own hair is braided close to the head and the wig is then sewn onto the braids. The method needs no glue, tape or heat and is gentle on your own hair and scalp when done correctly. The wig stays secure for 1–3 months, depending on how fast your hair grows and how you care for it. After that it is taken down or reinstalled. The method suits you if you live an active life, train or want a natural look around the clock. The most important thing is that the braids under the wig dry thoroughly after washing. If you have both extensions and a sewn-in wig, your scalp takes longer to dry, so be extra careful.

Installation with tape or glue
For an installation with tape or wig glue we first prepare your skin and any natural hair so the installation has a clean, even base. Then we secure the wig and place the hairline so it follows your own features. We finish by cutting and styling the hair for a seamless blend. The installation normally lasts three to six weeks, depending on your skin type, how much you sweat and which product we used. Avoid washing your hair or exposing the installation to strong heat for the first 24 hours. If you have sensitive skin, eczema or are having treatment that affects your scalp, tell us when you book and we will use a gentler option. If you secure your wig yourself at home, there is Max Hold Sport, a skin protector applied under glue or tape.

Price of wig installation
Installing a wig with tape or glue costs 1,200 SEK the first time, including a walkthrough of how to care for the installation at home. A follow-up costs 1,500 SEK – we dissolve the old installation, clean your skin and wig and install it again. Gently removing old glue is what takes time, which is why the follow-up costs more. The price is the same in Stockholm and Uppsala. If you want your wig sewn in, we go through your hair and the price at a free consultation.

Get your wig ready before it is installed
A wig straight out of the box has a standard size and uncut lace. We can cut the lace along your hairline, or make your wig ready to your measurements, where we adjust the size, cut the lace and cut the style to suit your face. If you want to manage it yourself, book Learn to put on your wig – one hour in the salon where you do the whole process yourself with us beside you.

Choose the right wig for installation
The construction decides how natural the hairline looks once the wig is installed. On our wig models page we compare everything from classic cap to full lace. You will find all our wigs in the online shop, in both real hair and vegan synthetic, and you can try them on at our wig shop Fairwithwigs at Norrtullsgatan 26B, two minutes from Odenplan. If you have hair loss after chemotherapy, alopecia or another illness and live in Sweden, you may be entitled to a grant – read more about wigs with a requisition (rekvisition).
