Why do human hair wigs cost so much more than synthetic?
- Hair quality: Remy human hair keeps every cuticle facing the same direction, so it tangles less and looks silkier. It costs more to source and process.
- Cap construction: a hand-tied full lace cap takes far more labour than a machine-sewn cap, so full lace wigs sit at the top of the range. Lace front wigs are the middle ground.
- Length and density: longer and fuller wigs use more hair.
- Lifespan: a $3,000 human hair wig worn daily for 2–3 years can cost less per month than replacing synthetic wigs every few months.
What's included in the price at a Toronto wig salon?
Buying from a salon instead of online usually includes things a cheap online wig doesn't:
- A free consultation and try-on, with no pressure to buy
- Help choosing cap size, colour and density
- Custom cutting and styling so the wig suits your face
- Ongoing wash, style and repair service in the same place
How can I pay less for a wig?
- Start with synthetic if you're new to wigs or need one short-term.
- Consider a topper instead of a full wig if your thinning is only at the part or crown.
- Use insurance or tax credits for medical hair loss. Many benefit plans reimburse a "hair prosthesis" with a doctor's prescription, and wigs for hair loss from disease or medical treatment are an eligible CRA medical expense. See our medical wig guide.
- Ask about payment plans. Wigs R Us offers buy now, pay later.
- Check the sale collection for discounted wigs.
- Rent first for a one-time event with a wig rental.
