In the world of stock hair pieces, there are seemingly endless options. There are very expensive stock hairpiece options that offer incredible quality hair, extremely personal service, and a huge price tag. There are also very inexpensive stock hairpiece options which you may be surprised to know aren't even stock solutions at all.

Hair Replacement Companies

In fact, you may be shocked to know that many hairpiece companies sell hair pieces as stockers when they are really just stocking hair systems that have been modified to seem like stock systems. This practice is rampant in the industry and especially common in situations where the hairpiece supplier forces clients into a membership situation or program in order to get a lower bottom line on the price of the hairpiece themselves.

Full Stock Hair Piece System

When you're spending in the 4 figures on a hairpiece and going to a physical salon, you really don't have a whole lot to worry about - other than price. Usually, for obscene prices like this, you can be pretty well sure you're getting a full-stock hairpiece. On the flip side, just because the piece is full stock doesn't necessarily mean you're getting a good deal.

Find a Good Deal

When you're trying to find a good deal on a stock hair piece, you really need to shop around wisely. The last thing you want is to start paying stock prices for stock hair. There's nothing wrong with ordering stock hair systems at all. The problem is that some hairpiece companies are using unethical business practices and misrepresenting stock hair pieces as full stock.

Stock Base Measurements

This isn't fair to consumers and all it accomplishes is lining the pockets of greedy hairpiece vendors. The first thing you should look at is the quality of the hairpiece. It should look brand new. If the base has been visibly cut down, this is a pretty clear sign that your hair replacement company did not order a hairpiece using your stock base measurements. Base size is very important to get right, and one of the top reasons why the stock is necessary for many hair wearers.

Final Words

Some hairpiece manufacturers do allow for rush services, so a 4-week delivery time isn't always the case, but if you're noticing that your stock hair pieces are consistently ready very quickly, this may be a red flag. The last thing to really take note of is color. If you're ordering a stock hair piece, your hair should be matched perfectly to a sample.
