What Makes Bond Different

Built Around Your Treatment, Not Around a Sale.

01

Built Before Treatment Begins

We take measurements and create your custom system before your first treatment. No gap in coverage, ever.

02

A Matched Pair: System Plus Wig

You receive a hair system and matching wig, built to each other exactly. The transition between them as treatment progresses is invisible.

03

Private Rooms at Every Visit

No open salon floor. Every consultation, installation, and maintenance appointment happens in a private room with a private shampoo bowl.

04

We Guide the Full Recovery

When your natural hair grows back, your specialist guides the transition at every maintenance visit until you no longer need the system.

Is this you?

Most of Our Chemo Clients Come In Before They Lose a Single Strand.

Hair loss during chemotherapy does not have to be a moment you dread. The earlier we meet, the more seamlessly we can build a plan that carries you through treatment and well into recovery with no visible gap.

  • You've received a diagnosis and want to plan ahead before any hair loss begins.
  • You want seamless coverage during treatment — not just a wig to wear after.
  • You want honest guidance from someone who does this every day — not a general salon, not a wig shop.
  • You want every visit handled privately, in your own room, with the same specialist.

Hair System vs. Wig

What Is a Hair System, and How Is It Different From a Wig?

Most people arrive at Bond knowing about wigs. Fewer know about hair systems. For chemotherapy patients, the difference matters — and at Bond, you get both.

Corresponding Wig

Built to match your hair system exactly: same color, same texture, same density. Attached with medical-grade taping or bonding when full coverage is needed. Transitions seamlessly from the system as treatment progresses.

Standard Off-the-Shelf Wig

Not matched to your natural hair. No integration with existing hair. No transition plan. Sits on top and requires constant adjustment. Not what Bond provides.

Bond builds a matched pair: a custom hair system worn from diagnosis through mid-treatment, and a corresponding wig for when coverage needs increase. They are matched in color, texture, and density. The transition between them is undetectable.

We Build the Plan Before Your Hair Starts to Shed.
From Emily, Founder of Bond Hair Bar

We Build the Plan Before Your Hair Starts to Shed.

As women, losing our hair during treatment is often the hardest part. What we do at Bond is build a corresponding pair: a custom hair system and a matching wig, ready before chemotherapy begins. As your hair falls out, it collects underneath the system. Everything stays seamless. You never have a gap.

Every measurement, color match, and maintenance visit happens in a private room with a private shampoo bowl. We do this all the time. You will not be navigating it alone.

As your hair sheds, it collects beneath the system — invisibly. At each private visit we clean everything and reattach.

Mid to Late Treatment

Transition to Your Wig

Recovery

Your Hair Grows Back With the System

At 3 inches of regrowth, your specialist transitions you back to your hair system. We guide every maintenance visit until you no longer need it.

You will have a dedicated specialist in a private room at every stage, from your first consultation through your last maintenance visit after recovery.

Emily walks you through the Bond Hair Method from your very first consultation: what to expect, how the hair system is built around your timeline, and how every client leaves with a clear plan before treatment begins.

  • Custom system and wig built before treatment — no gap in coverage.
  • Shed hair collects beneath the system invisibly and is cleaned at each private visit.
  • Medical-grade attachment for the wig phase when full coverage is needed.
  • Specialist-guided recovery at every visit until your natural hair is fully restored.

Common Questions

What People Ask Before Their First Appointment.

Going through this is already a lot. These answers are meant to give you real information, not a sales pitch. Call or text us: (650) 376-3582.

Talk to Us Directly
When should I come in: before or after chemo starts?

Before, ideally as soon as possible after your diagnosis. We need time to take measurements and build your hair system and wig before treatment starts so everything is ready when hair loss begins. Coming in after treatment has started is completely fine too. We meet you wherever you are.

What is the difference between a hair system and a wig for chemo?

A hair system integrates with your existing hair and attaches to your scalp. During chemotherapy, it sits on top of your head and your natural hair falls out beneath it, so there is no visible moment of loss. A wig covers the scalp fully once significant hair loss has occurred. At Bond, we build both, matched to each other, so your transition between them is seamless and undetectable.

What is a cranial prosthesis? Does Bond provide documentation for insurance?

A cranial prosthesis is the medical and insurance term for a custom hair system used because of medically-induced hair loss, including chemotherapy, alopecia, and other conditions. Some insurance plans cover cranial prostheses when prescribed by a physician. Bond provides a superbill for insurance reimbursement for a $150 fee. HSA and FSA are accepted. Ask us at your consultation.

Is it really private? I am not comfortable in a regular salon.

Every appointment at Bond takes place in a private room, by appointment only. There is no open salon floor. You have a dedicated specialist, a private shampoo bowl, and a room that is entirely yours for the duration of your visit.

What happens at maintenance appointments during treatment?

As your hair sheds during chemotherapy, it collects underneath your hair system rather than falling visibly. At each maintenance visit, we gently clean out the shed hair from underneath, clean the system itself, and reattach it. As treatment progresses and coverage needs increase, we transition you to your corresponding wig with medical-grade taping or bonding. All of this happens in a private room with a private shampoo bowl.

What does recovery look like when my hair starts growing back?

Once your natural hair grows back to about 3 inches, we transition back to your hair system. It grows up alongside your returning hair. As your hair gets longer, the system gradually loosens. At each maintenance visit during recovery we remove it, clean everything, and reattach it. Eventually you will not need it anymore. We guide every step.

Can I use my HSA or FSA?

Yes. HSA and FSA are accepted at Bond for medical hair loss services. Cherry financing is also available for monthly payments. Eligibility depends on your specific plan. We recommend confirming with your benefits administrator before your appointment.

Ready when you are.

Your First Step Is One Conversation.

Thirty minutes, one-on-one, in a private room. We look at your hair, talk through your treatment timeline, and put a plan together. No commitment required.
