Everything you need to know about man weaves & hair units
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.
