FAQ: Common Questions about Custom Wigs

Q: How much does a custom wig cost in Manhattan?

A: In Manhattan, most custom human hair wigs typically range from $2,000 to $6,000+, depending on factors such as hair quality, length, density, and cap construction. The price is higher for hand-tied wigs, which are considered the most natural-looking and lightweight option. During your consultation, you’ll receive a personalized written quote that outlines all the details of your custom design.

Q: How long does it take to make a wig?

A: If the wig is already in stock, delivery typically takes 2–4 business days from our warehouse. Customizing a stock wig—such as adjusting the color, adding a perm, or making minor alterations—usually requires about 1 week. For a fully custom wig, where every element (base, length, color, and texture) is made to order, the process generally takes 12–15 weeks from start to finish.

Q: Does insurance cover custom wigs (cranial prosthesis) in New York?

A: In New York, some health insurance plans will reimburse the cost of a custom wig when prescribed by a doctor as a “cranial prosthesis.” To qualify, you’ll need a doctor’s prescription, a diagnosis code, and an itemized receipt.

As of 2025, under a new New York State law on medical prosthesis (Bill A2683), insurance companies are now required to provide at least $750 in coverage toward a cranial prosthesis.

Coverage can still vary by insurer and plan, so it’s best to confirm with your carrier whether they cover the following codes: A9282 (synthetic hair) or L8499 (human hair). At our salon, we’ll provide all the necessary paperwork to support your reimbursement claim.

Q: What cap type looks most natural and is comfortable for NYC humidity?

A: For the most natural look and comfort in New York’s humidity, hand-tied wig construction is the top choice. This method creates a realistic appearance while remaining lightweight and breathable. A lace-front cap offers a natural-looking hairline and extra ventilation, making it especially comfortable in summer heat.

For added realism and scalp comfort, hand-tied monofilament or lace tops allow for natural-looking parting and are gentle on sensitive skin. Choosing a wig with lighter density, baby hairs along the hairline, and well-ventilated knotting will also enhance breathability and create the most natural effect.

Q: Do I need an appointment for a custom wig fitting in Manhattan, and what happens?
