Frequently Asked Questions – Men’s Hair Systems
Answers About Non-Surgical Hair Replacement at Jernigan’s in Raleigh, NC
If you’re considering a non-surgical hair replacement system, it’s natural to have questions. At Jernigan’s Hair Replacement Clinic in Raleigh, we’re here to provide clear, honest answers so you can feel confident in your decision.
Below are the most frequently asked questions we hear from men exploring custom hair systems like Transitions and Hairskeen.
What is a non-surgical hair replacement system?
A non-surgical hair replacement system is a custom-made unit of real or synthetic hair that’s integrated with your scalp using advanced bonding techniques. It’s designed to match your natural hairline, color, and density for a seamless, undetectable look.
How is it different from a wig?
Unlike a wig, which is typically removable and sits loosely on the head, a custom hair system is securely bonded to your scalp. It’s designed to blend with your existing hair and follow your natural hairline, making it far more natural in both appearance and function. Hair systems are also styled and customized specifically for your lifestyle and preferences.
Will it look natural?
Yes. At Jernigan’s, we use 100% human hair or high-quality synthetic fibers, depending on your needs. We match the system to your exact hair color, density, and scalp contour. Once applied and styled, it is virtually undetectable to sight and touch, even up close.
Can I shower, swim, and exercise with it?
Absolutely. Our men’s hair systems—whether it’s Transitions or Hairskeen—are designed to be secure and durable. You can shower, go to the gym, swim, and live an active lifestyle without worry. Proper maintenance ensures your system stays in place and in top condition.
How long does a hair system last?
It depends on the system type and how well you care for it. On average:
Transitions systems can last several months with regular maintenance.
Hairskeen systems typically require more frequent updates to maintain a fresh, fashion-forward look.
We’ll guide you on the best care routine to maximize your system’s longevity.
What is the maintenance like?
Maintenance includes regular cleaning, re-bonding, and trimming or styling—typically every 3 to 4 weeks. At Jernigan’s, we offer in-house professional maintenance services, so you always leave looking your best. Maintenance frequency may vary based on lifestyle and product type.
Will it damage my existing hair or scalp?
No. When applied and maintained properly by professionals like our team at Jernigan’s, non-surgical hair systems are safe and non-damaging. We prioritize scalp health and will assess your hair and skin condition to ensure the system is appropriate for you.
Is it painful or uncomfortable?
Not at all. Hair systems are non-invasive and pain-free. Most clients say they forget they’re even wearing one after a short adjustment period. The materials used are lightweight, breathable, and comfortable for all-day wear.
How is the system attached?
Depending on the type of system, we use medical-grade adhesives, bonding agents, or tape. The method we use will depend on your scalp condition, lifestyle, and the style you’re aiming for. All methods are safe, secure, and long-lasting.
How much does it cost?
Pricing varies based on the hair system type, customization, and service package. During your free consultation, we’ll provide a clear, personalized estimate based on your needs, goals, and lifestyle.
We believe in transparency—no hidden fees, no surprises.
Can I choose any hairstyle?
Yes! Whether you want a clean, classic cut or a bold, modern look, our stylists can help you achieve the hairstyle that best reflects your personality and preferences. Hairskeen, in particular, is ideal for fashion-forward, urban styles.
