Hair loss can make a wig appointment feel like a much bigger decision than shopping for a new style. You deserve time, privacy, and clear information without pressure. Teddy's role is to help translate your preferences into a wearable plan.
Begin with the life you live
Think about where and how often you plan to wear the wig, how much styling you want to do, and whether matching a familiar look or trying something new feels right. Photos of a previous style can be helpful, but they are never required.
Ask about construction and comfort
Cap design, density, fiber or hair type, ventilation, and fit all affect how a unit feels. During consultation, discuss scalp sensitivity, glasses, head coverings, workplace needs, and any comfort concerns.
Fit should feel secure, not punishing
A wig should be measured and adjusted for the individual. Teddy can discuss sizing, hairline placement, shaping, and attachment options so you understand what will be involved before you decide.
Color and cut make the unit personal
Even a quality unit may need thoughtful color, density adjustment, shaping, or finishing to suit the wearer. These details are what turn a wig into your look.
Leave with a care plan
Ask how to store, cleanse, condition, detangle, and style the unit, which products and heat settings are appropriate, and when maintenance should be scheduled. Care needs vary by construction and material.
Keep medical guidance with your care team
A hairstylist can help with the cosmetic fit, finish, and care of a wig, but cannot advise on treatment timing, scalp health, or medical suitability. Bring those questions to your licensed medical team. If you hope to seek insurance reimbursement, contact the insurer in advance to ask what documentation and providers they require.
A consultation can simply be a conversation
You do not have to arrive knowing exactly what you want, and you do not have to make every decision on the first visit. Start with your questions and the way you want to feel.
