A hair system is a non-surgical hair replacement solution attached to the scalp using medical-grade adhesives or tapes. Unlike wigs, it’s custom-fitted for continuous wear and offers a natural look. Unlike transplants, it provides instant results without surgery.
Typically, a hair system lasts between 2 to 4 months depending on the base material, lifestyle, and maintenance routine.
No. When custom-made and professionally applied, a hair system is virtually undetectable. The color, texture, and density are matched to your natural hair.
The cost of a hair system can range from $1,100 to $1,500 depending on the level of customization, materials used, and the specific services included. However, at Apollo Image Enhancement Center, we also offer convenient monthly subscription plans that make it easier and more affordable to maintain your look year-round. These plans bundle services, maintenance, and system replacements into one predictable monthly payment—giving you peace of mind, consistent care, and great value without compromising on quality.
Common base types include lace, skin, and monofilament. Lace offers breathability, skin gives a realistic scalp appearance, and monofilament is durable. Your lifestyle and preferences will help determine the best fit.

Adhesives used are medical-grade and provide a very strong hold. When properly maintained, the system will not shift or come off unexpectedly.

Moderate sweat won’t affect the hold, but excessive perspiration may reduce adhesive strength over time. Regular maintenance helps keep it secure.
