Make more people want to buy this wig. Ready-made or custom-made lace wigs have a certain price, but you can lower your overall costs by spending less on installation.

This article will explain where to install lace wigs, how much they cost to install, and how to reduce installation costs.

1. Where Can I Go To Install Lace Wigs?

1) Wig salon - If you want an exquisite and perfect look, you can choose a wig salon, because the people working there will have sufficient professional knowledge and skillful techniques, and will perform certain installations according to your situation.​

2) Personal stylist - Compared with a wig salon, the cost of installing a wig by a personal stylist may be lower. After all, there are no house rental fees and utility bills, and the income is personal income. However, it may be difficult to find a personal stylist, which requires an introduction by acquaintances.

3) Wig sales stores - buy wigs offline. Some wig sales stores will have specialized installers who can install the wigs for free after purchasing them. This is very convenient and you don't even have to look for them yourself.

4) Do-it-yourself installation - For those who are using lace wigs for the first time, you can find a hairstylist to help you complete the style. Later, you can learn how to wear the wig by watching installation videos on YouTube or professional wig websites and blogs. After practicing, you can complete it independently.

2. How Much Does A lace Wig Install Cost?

Generally speaking, if you install a wig at home, you only need to pay for the wig. If you want a more perfect hairstyle, you will also need to purchase some tools.

1) Tool fee $150

You need to purchase a hair dryer, makeup sponge, tail comb, wig head, bleaching powder, developer, and small scissors. These tools cost about 150$ in total. If you buy a wig at JuliaHair, you will receive a random mesh cap, makeup brush, eyelashes, and headband, it sounds like a lot to buy, and the total cost can already allow me to buy another wig.

But these tools can make the wig more fitting and realistic, and the items can be reused, although they cost more the first time. If you choose to go to a hair salon, you don't need to buy these tools because the installation fee already includes this cost.

2) Lace wig installation costs $200

If you go to a hairstylist, the installation cost will vary depending on the type of lace wig.

Lace front wig installation cost- You should pay around $180. The cost usually includes braiding the hair, affixing the wig to the head, and styling it to look natural, and some stylists will also charge based on the length of the wig.

Full lace wig installation fee - You should pay $220. Because the installation of a full lace wig is more troublesome than that of front lace, the charge is higher. The price of a good hairstylist installing a lace wig may reach $300.

In short, the cost of installing a lace wig for the first time is at least $150. If you ask a hairstylist to install it, it will cost $150+$200=$430. However, the installation cost will be reduced later, and you only need to buy the wig.
