Is this thing broken, or is everyone on holiday?

Hey fellas...

 

[Smidgeon]

Yeah, I noticed it had been really quiet in here this week lol.

Perhaps we're recovering from last month's ill-tempered ruck.

Loving the new avatars btw.

Would like to know where you all come from and how many €€ or $$ you spend for a system incl everything (cut-in, first time bonding)

 

[HairsonUnique]

I wondered if the supply issues caused fewer new members to join.

UK. About £350 ($475). Bit of glue/tape = £10/£13. No need for cut-in.

 

[smoka123]

ok more ?

I believe the opposite. If people cannot locate systems, easily, I would imagine they'd join thinking they'll get the inside scoop.

About $240 for a LaVivid system, delivered to the US. Tape and glue about $50 for about a 6 month supply( weekly rebond)...Initial cut in/hair cut $40... $20 for trims.

NYC / $150-250 per *toupee* (enough with this marketing jargon). / $10-15 for glue occasionally idk / DIY cut-in and everything else.

I'd gladly pay double or triple per unit if I had any confidence that the quality corresponds to the price, which obviously I don't.

What marketing jargon? Calling it a system?

 

[HairlessWhisper]

Clearly. I can just about stand "hairpiece", but "hair system"? Gtfo

Yeah, it's a bit out there

 

[HairsonUnique]

It is totally marketing jargon. People want to escape certain words. It's not unreasonable.

What's comical is, it couldn't be further from a system. It's a single entity. Unit is appropriate, but not system.

 

[HairsonUnique]

Hey I have no issues with us avoiding the dreaded T or W words

 

[HairlessWhisper]

I usually call it "my wig" but seeing as it's a topper 'toupee' is more accurate.

it couldn't be further from a system

Yeah it sounds ridiculous.

Interesting to see that the Chinese sellers like Lordhair and LaVivid seem to be trying to habilitate the word "toupee" after several decades when it was in the marketing doghouse. I wonder if it will catch on. It is, after all, the most accurate descriptor of what most of us are wearing. "Wig" really means a full cap. "Hairpiece" is a generic word for any kind of hair prosthetic. "Hair system" is pure marketer-speak, which has a totally counter-productive effect. If you say "I'm wearing a hair system" people automatically hear "I'm wearing a toupee, but I'm in denial".

Similar, but all in €. Cut-in as well 20 though.
