QuoteReplyTopic: can someone make me a hair piece? Posted: February 19 2006 at 8:00pm
Hey everyone..
When I cut my hair, years ago, I kept the hair I cut off- 2 inches to 4 inches, in an envelope. I have enough to make some kind of hair piece I would assume.
Is there anyone out there (on this board) that I could pay and you could make some kind of hair piece for me and then i could take it to a salon and get it woven on? I'm just not creative at these types of things.
Thanks!

I'm by no means a qualified ventilator, but I'd imagine that being able
to use your saved hair is very dependant on how you've stored it.
If the hair's loose in the envelope and has tangled, you may not be
able to use it without stripping the cuticle (in which case you might
as well go out and buy a hairpiece that's made with someone else's
hair). That being said, if the hair's in good shape it might be
possible for a good ventilator (or custom hairpiece company) to make
you a hairpiece with it, though it will likely be quite short, and may
require hair from a separate source to add-in if the coverage area is
bigger than can be done with the usable hair from your cuttings.
There are a few companies that do custom made hairpieces through
mail-order. I wear a small partial that I got through one such
place. I designed a template, cut a small hair sample, filled out
an order form and about five weeks after sending it in, I recieved two
partials in the mail that were an exact match to my hair color and
texture. They were very affordable, and the hair's a slight bit
nicer than my natural hair (although not so much so as to stand out as
unnatural). The company I go through is very affordable (which
was good for me, since I'm a college student). Their website is
www.toplace.com and Gary (the man in charge) could tell you if the hair
could be used. Jeffrey at www.coolpiece.com is also said to be
good, and quite affordable (though slightly higher than Toplace).
I hope you can find someone to help you! Try local
theaters. Many theatrical make-up artists can ventilate
hairpieces.
