hoosing the correct hair piece solution for
your client is important. How they feel about
their hairpiece can affect their confidence.
Your client should be happy and confident
wearing their hair piece. Our job as the specialist is to
ask the right questions to find the best solution for our
clients. The first step is to complete a consultation and
