Getting a wig fitted in Melbourne usually starts with a private consultation at a wig salon. You can generally try several styles before deciding.
- Discuss what you want — your preferred colour, length, everyday styling and budget. Bring photos of your usual hairstyle or a look you like.
- Try different wigs — compare synthetic and human hair options. Synthetic wigs tend to cost less and need less styling; human hair offers more styling flexibility but needs more maintenance.
- Check the fit — the fitter measures your head and adjusts the cap so it feels comfortable and secure. They may suggest a wig grip, clips or suitable adhesive depending on your hair and scalp.
- Personalise the style — some wigs can be trimmed or shaped to suit your face.
- Learn the care routine — how to put it on, wash it, store it and which products or heat tools are suitable.
You don’t normally need to shave your head. Existing hair can usually be tucked underneath a wig cap.
