Wig install pricing FAQ
How much does a lace wig install cost in Austin?
Glueless installs start at $130 and lace-glue installs with full styling are $165. Both include cornrow base prep, hairline customization (plucking + tinting), and a styled finish. No hidden upcharges for tinting or basic styling.
Is $130 cheap for a wig install?
$130 is on the affordable end for the Austin market. Salon installs typically run $180–$300+ when you factor in lace tinting, plucking, and styling separately. The $130 glueless install at Braids by Praise includes all three.
Do you charge extra for styling the wig?
No. Basic styling (sleek straight, simple curls, slick-back, or part) is included with both install tiers. If you want elaborate styling — finger waves, intricate updos — that's a $20–$40 add-on depending on what you bring.
Do you provide the wig?
Bring your own unit. Any cap construction works (HD lace, transparent lace, full lace, glueless caps). If your lace needs a melt and pluck, that's part of the install.
How long does the install take?
Glueless: 2.5 hrs. Lace glue + style: 3 hrs. Block out a buffer if it's your first time so we can fit, melt, and style without rushing.
How long does a lace install last?
Lace-glue installs last 1–2 weeks. Glueless installs are designed for daily wear — take it off at night, put it back on in the morning. With proper care, glueless can be the same wig for months.
