Our Services
Continental Hair offers the widest possible range of hair replacement services for women. In terms of medically related hair loss, such as hair loss due to alopecia or chemotherapy, Continental Hair provides a variety of choices depending on the client’s needs and budget.
For women and men undergoing chemotherapy, usually a full cap wig or hair replacement is required. This is a problem that must also be handled rather quickly, because the client will require something in a matter of a couple of weeks at the most. Our line of synthetic wigs is what we describe as medical-quality wigs, as opposed to fashion-quality wigs. These are made with a finer, synthetic hair and the cap design is for someone with little or no hair. The contour of a medical-grade cap is not as deep as one for a fashion or religious wig, because there is no need for someone to hide any hair underneath it. Many of them have the option of using two-way medical tape to ensure security. The very best of these wigs will be all hand-knotted, which are much lighter and more comfortable than fashion wigs. Also, because a fashion wig will only be worn on occasion, medical wigs use synthetic hair that can last longer under everyday wear. The result is something that looks better, is more comfortable, and gives the wearer confidence in maintaining her privacy.
In terms of human hair wigs we have the option of European human hair wigs, which we carry in stock. These are all handmade and use the most beautiful hair available for wigs. The caps are designed to fit a scalp with little or no hair and can accommodate the use of two-way medical tape. This is what has made Continental Hair famous.
For clients with alopecia, the above is relevant as well—but because this type of hair loss is not as transient, time can be taken with a custom-made wig or hair replacement. Depending on the area, something designed specifically for you has a whole list of options, from partial postiche to a full cap, each made from a mold of the affected area and the hair being custom blended. The hair direction and cap materials are also a consideration. Nothing is left to chance. The whole process takes from six to ten weeks, depending on the order.
Items like the above require the highest standard in service. As we say often here, a wig out of a box looks remarkably like a wig out of a box. Our stylists at the main salon have a reputation for being the best when it comes to women’s hair replacement. They possess the perfect combination of professionalism, styling ability, and gift of the gab. They will not be rushed and will make sure that you know exactly how to care for whatever you purchase before you leave—otherwise, they will not let you leave. They cut your new hair on you and will always be conservative in their cutting. They will use no client as a subject for her own artistic creations.
Along with the initial cut-in, our stylists can change the colour, add Hi Lites/Lo Lites , or even perm your piece upon purchase. Within the first month of possessing your new hair, a second cut-in or adjustment can be done if needed at no additional cost. We do this in order to relieve the pressure of getting the exact cut the first time and to avoid cutting too much too soon. Our stylists will show you how to maintain your piece, and you are encouraged to come back to the salon and have us wash and style your piece for you.
