Get answers to common questions about Lace-Front Sew-On Service.

With proper care, a sew-on lace-front can last four to eight weeks before maintenance. Factors like hair growth, scalp oils, and activity level affect longevity. We offer follow-up appointments to refresh edges, adjust fit, and keep the install looking seamless.

When installed and removed correctly, sew-on lace-fronts are gentle. Our stylists use protective techniques, proper tension, and separation of your hair to minimize stress. Regular maintenance and giving your hair occasional breaks helps prevent breakage or thinning over time.

Arrive with clean, dry hair and avoid heavy oils or products. If wearing extensions or previous units, remove them before your appointment. Our team can also wash and braid your hair for a flawless base if you prefer salon prep.

Yes, with caution. The sew-on method offers strong hold, but prolonged chlorine or saltwater exposure and intense sweating can loosen the unit over time. Rinse, gently cleanse, and re-tie protective styles after swimming or heavy workouts to prolong the install's life.

We recommend waiting 48 to 72 hours before washing to allow stitches to settle. Use sulfate-free, gentle cleansers and avoid scrubbing the lace area. Pat dry, air-dry when possible, and follow our aftercare instructions for best results and longevity.
