What describes your situation?
Hair Loss From a Medical Cause Is Different. So Is the Solution.
Our clients arrive with different diagnoses: chemotherapy-related hair loss, postpartum shedding, alopecia areata, androgenetic alopecia, traction alopecia, PCOS-related hair loss, thyroid hair loss, hormonal hair loss, menopausal hair thinning, and more. What they share: they want something that actually works.
- ✓You're seeing scalp at the part line or crown that wasn't visible a year ago.
- ✓Medical treatment, hormonal shifts, or chronic stress has changed your hair significantly, and you want a real answer, not another product.
Every Hair Loss Cause Has a Different Treatment. We Find Yours.
At your consultation, we assess your hair density, scalp coverage needs, and timeline first, then walk through your hair loss treatment options honestly: what's realistic, what the tradeoffs are, and what actually fits where you are right now. We run an in-studio hair color analysis to map your exact shade, tone, and undertone so whatever we build is genuinely indistinguishable from your own hair.
How We Keep Your Hair Through Treatment: From Day One to Recovery.
Emily walks through exactly how Bond transitions chemotherapy patients: the custom hair system, the corresponding wig, how everything stays seamless as your hair sheds, and how the transition back works as your hair grows in. Built for your timeline, not a generic one.
- ✓Custom hair system matched to your natural color and texture, built before treatment begins.
- ✓Corresponding wig secured with medical-grade taping or bonding as hair loss progresses.
- ✓Every maintenance visit in a private room with a private shampoo bowl.
A Complete Hair Transition Package for Chemotherapy Patients.
Bond has a complete transition package built around your chemotherapy timeline. A custom hair system to your measurements, matched to your natural color and texture, paired with a corresponding wig.
As your hair sheds during treatment, the system stays in place with nothing to manage. Every maintenance visit is private, with a dedicated shampoo bowl. When your hair grows back, we guide that transition too.
Most Postpartum Hair Loss Resolves. We Help You Look Great While It Does.
After pregnancy, estrogen levels drop sharply, sending a large portion of hair into the shedding phase at once, a condition called telogen effluvium. Most women notice postpartum hair loss three to four months after delivery; for most it resolves within a year. Bond works with postpartum clients at every stage: hand-tied extensions restore volume without tension on fragile roots, or a custom hair system where coverage needs are greater. We recommend only what your hair can actually support at your current density.
Alopecia Treatment at Bond: What to Expect.
Hear directly from a Bond client managing alopecia: how she found us, what the consultation was like, and what her hair looks like now. We work with clients managing alopecia areata, androgenetic alopecia, and traction alopecia from years of tight styling or tension. Private, judgment-free care from the first appointment.
- ✓Private, one-on-one consultation: no open salon floor.
- ✓Custom hair system built specifically for alopecia coverage.
- ✓100% natural human hair. Undetectable at the scalp line.
Once We Know Your Starting Point
You don't need to self-diagnose before your appointment. Most medical hair loss cases land on one of two paths: your consultation will tell us which one fits, and why.
Hair Extensions
Best for fine or thinning hair that still has reasonable density: adds volume and length without surgery or downtime.
Hair Replacement
Best for significant or diffuse hair loss: a custom, non-surgical hair system for full, undetectable coverage.
What People Ask Before Their First Appointment
Medical hair loss is personal and the decision to do something about it takes courage. These answers are meant to give you real information, not a sales pitch. Still have questions? Call or text: (650) 376-3582.
Talk to Us DirectlyWhat hair loss conditions do you work with?
We work with a wide range of causes: chemotherapy-related hair loss, postpartum shedding (telogen effluvium), alopecia areata, androgenetic alopecia (female pattern hair loss), traction alopecia from years of tight styles or tension, PCOS-related hair loss, thyroid-related hair loss, menopausal hair thinning, and hormonal hair loss. Every plan starts with a private consultation where we assess your specific situation honestly. The cause shapes which solution fits and how we approach ongoing care.
Are your services safe for fragile or compromised hair?
Yes. Hair systems sit on top of your natural hair with no tension on the scalp or follicles. For extensions, hand-tied wefts are anchored with silicone-lined beads: no glue, no heat, minimal pulling weight. For clients managing alopecia or undergoing medical treatment, the plan is built specifically around your situation at consultation.
What's the difference between extensions and a hair system for medical hair loss?
Extensions add volume and length to existing hair: they work best with moderate density. A hair system provides full, undetectable coverage even when hair loss is significant or complete. At your consultation, we assess density honestly and tell you which path fits.
Do you have a specific package for chemotherapy patients?
Yes. Come in before treatment begins so we have time to build your system and ensure there's no gap in coverage. The package includes a custom hair system matched to your natural hair, a corresponding wig, and private maintenance visits throughout treatment and recovery.
Can I use HSA or FSA funds for medical hair loss services?
Many clients use HSA/FSA funds for medical hair loss services. Eligibility depends on your specific plan and provider. We recommend confirming with your benefits administrator before your appointment.
Are wigs and cranial prosthesis covered by insurance?
"Cranial prosthesis" is the medical billing term for a wig worn for medical hair loss. It's the wording most insurers and HSA/FSA plans use. Coverage varies by plan and diagnosis. For cancer-related hair loss, California health plans are required to cover hair prostheses under certain diagnoses. We provide itemized receipts, with a superbill available on request, so you can submit for reimbursement. Check with your provider for what your plan covers.
How soon should I come in after a diagnosis or before treatment starts?
As soon as you're ready. For chemotherapy patients, coming in before treatment begins gives us time to take measurements and build your system so there's no gap in coverage when hair loss starts. For other medical hair loss causes, we can meet you wherever you are in the process, early or well into it.
I'm experiencing postpartum hair loss. Is it too early to come in?
No. Many clients come in three to four months postpartum, when shedding is most noticeable. We assess your current density first and recommend only what your hair can actually support: usually hand-tied extensions to restore volume while your hair recovers. We keep the plan conservative and check your hair health at every appointment.
