where in south florida (miami/ft. lauderdale) can I find a salon to attach a full lace wig?
I got a full lace wig off ebay (beautiful!) and I have the things to apply it myself. The thing is...I want it done professionally because I don't want to ruin the wig or cut too much lace off. The wig is perfect!! I live in Ft. Lauderdale, Fl. and I'm looking for someone or any salon that can apply the wig for me. Even in Miami. Does anyone know where I can get it done?
I don't believe that there is any place that far down south at this time that is knowledgeable about installing a LFW. It's really not hard to do yourself. The person that you purchased your unit from should have given you instructions on how to apply it but if not here are some tips to get you started just in case you don't find anyone.
Items Required:
•Scalp Protector
•Ultra Hold or Mity-Tite or No-tape (adhesive of your choice)
•Application Brush
•Eye brow pencil
•Hair clip
Instructions
Technique 1
1.Using a light coloured eyebrow pencil, trace the contour of the lace by making a few dots approx. 1/8" in front of the front edge of the lace.
2.Now clip the lace front back, securing it to the top of your head with a hair clip.
3.Brush adhesive (approx. 2" back from the front hairline) down to the dots, but do not cover the dots.
4.Apply a thin layer of Scalp Protector on the scalp if you have no hair at all. If you do then apply around the perimeter of your hairline.
5.Select your preferred method of attachment (Full or Perimeter Bond) and apply a thin layer of adhesive to the entire scalp or perimeter making sure note to get on the hair.
6.Coat the underside of the system with a thin layer of adhesive of your choice.
7.Allow each surface to dry separately for 3-5 minutes.
8.Join both surfaces together by positioning the front of the system in place and then roll the system back over the scalp or hair and to the nape.
9.Press firmly together around to ensure a good solid hold.
10.Wipe the dots off your forehead.
11.Allow adhesive to dry for 3-5 minutes.
12.When the adhesive is dry, using the flat edge of a comb, press the lace down to ensure that it is indeed in the right position.
Hopefully this will help you as this is a direction sheet that I give to all of my clients.
