Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Wig Install.

A typical wig install appointment at Hair by Tiana takes between 2 to 4 hours depending on braiding complexity, lace customization, and styling. Consultation and preparation add time, while extensions or detailed hand-tied work may extend the appointment.

When performed by experienced stylists at Hair by Tiana, wig installs use protective braiding and gentle bonding methods to minimize damage. We assess your hair health first and recommend techniques or treatments to protect edges and natural hair during installation and wear.

Come with clean, dry hair and bring your wig if you have one. We recommend detangling and trimming excess length for smoother braiding. If you prefer scalp treatments or color services, schedule a consultation so we can plan time and products accordingly.

Longevity varies by attachment method and care. With proper bonding and maintenance, installs can last two to six weeks. Regular cleansing, gentle handling, and scheduled touch-ups at Hair by Tiana extend wear. We'll advise a personalized maintenance plan during your appointment.

Light exercise is fine, but avoid heavy sweating and chlorinated or salt water for at least forty-eight to seventy-two hours to allow adhesives to set. Use protective caps for swimming and follow our care instructions to maintain bond strength and longevity.

You can bring a wig or choose one with us. Bringing your own ensures correct fit and style preference; if you don't have one, Hair by Tiana offers wig selection and customization so we can match texture, color, and cap construction to your needs.
