A hair unit (also called a man weave or hair system) is a non-surgical hair replacement solution for men. A thin, breathable base with natural or synthetic hair is bonded directly to your scalp — no surgery, no downtime. The result looks and feels like your own natural hair.

No. Man weaves and hair units are 100% non-surgical. A specialist prepares your scalp and bonds the unit using medical-grade adhesive. The process is painless and typically takes 1–3 hours — you walk out the same day with a full head of hair.

With proper care, a hair unit stays fresh for 4–8 weeks before needing a maintenance visit. The unit itself can last 6–12 months depending on hair quality and maintenance. Regular specialist visits keep it looking natural and secure.

Your first appointment typically takes 2–4 hours and covers scalp prep, fitting, cutting, and styling. Follow-up maintenance visits are shorter — usually 1–2 hours. Most clients are in and out the same day.

No — your specialist sources the hair unit for you. During your consultation you’ll discuss your preferred style, texture, density, and colour, and your specialist will match the unit to your hair and skin tone.

Some natural hair helps with blending, but it’s not required. Specialists on Ace Man Weave Units work with all stages of hair loss — from thinning to completely bald. Your specialist will recommend the best approach at your consultation.

Pricing varies by specialist, location, and style complexity. Most initial installations range from $150–$400, with maintenance visits typically $75–$200. Use our Find a Specialist tool to get accurate pricing from vetted experts near you.

Yes! Modern hair units are designed to withstand water — you can shower, swim, and work out with your unit in place. Your specialist will advise on the right products to protect the bond and keep your unit looking its best.
