HAIR
We recommend 3 bundles and a frontal. Please also read our Frontal Tips
How long does a lace frontal wig or lace frontal sew-in last?
How long they last depends on a variety of factors and can range anything from 3 weeks to 2 years. It depends on your skin type, hair vendor, hair type, hair line, maintenance, and protection and how many times you wear your lace frontal unit and personal preferences. We recommend also having a closure wig for daily wear.
Lace frontals are a very high maintenance hairstyle due to the methods used to create a realistic hairline, on the other hand, lace closures are a medium maintenance hairstyle
what services do you offer?
Only what is displayed on our website. No glue downs or sewing of wigs made elsewhere. No braids or anything that is not shown on our website.
What is the difference between a lace frontal and a lace closure?
A lace frontal extends from ear to ear (typically comes sized as 13” x 4” or 13” x 6”)
On the other hand, a lace closure covers the parting area only (typically comes sized 4x4 or the bigger 6x6)
What are the benefits of a wig in comparison to a sew-in?
A wig lasts longer as it is a unit, there is also decreased tension on your scalp. A wig is also easier to maintain as you can remove and reapply the unit to take care of it.
Do you use glue and how long will it last?
We use 'Got2B ' to secure frontals, this is not a strong glue but rather a safer gel alternative which can easily be reapplied yourself and can last up to 2 days with careful wrapping. The gel can be found in most supermarkets or online, however you can request and bring in your own glue at your own risk. We also use Ghostbond and that lasts 7 days. How long it lasts depends on your skin type and hairline - lasts may vary
Do you sell hair?
Dollhouse London recommend DOLLBABYHAIR
I ordered hair from DOLLBABYHAIR and have an appointment, what do I do?
When placing your order with DOLLBABYHAIR if you would like it delivered to the salon for your appointment, please select ‘Dollhouse London Salon Delivery’ as a delivery option on their website and put our address as the delivery address. DOLLBABYHAIR customers are also exempt from any dropping in hair late fees!
FRONTAL
What type of frontal should I buy?
This is a dense frontal and will not give good results.
CHOOSING A LACE FRONTAL:
The quality of your the actual lace frontal you choose to use is very IMPORTANT! You need to invest in a good lace frontal if you want GOOD results! This is your RESPONSIBILITY!
Avoid super dense frontals: frontals with very thick hairline hair, will have a thick, unnatural finishIf you are of a light skin tone, ensure your lace is a close match to your skin - as frontals can be tinted all shades darker, but can't be made lighter!Avoid cheap, plastic lace frontals as it will make it difficult to customise to your tasteAvoid lace frontals with a THICK lace, as it will result in an unnatural finishIf you are really unsure you can physically come to the store and show us to avoid wasting your time and money.
