A Loving, Private, and Supportive Experience
Your journey matters. Your story matters. And at OA Salons, we honor both.
Our medical wig experience begins with a private and compassionate consultation. Our expert stylists take the time to understand:
- Your medical hair loss journey
- Your concerns
- Your goals
- Your hopes for how you want to look and feel
If you’d like, we can also perform a gentle scalp analysis to better understand the type of hair loss you’re experiencing. Throughout the process, you are supported, guided, and treated with the tender care you deserve.
Every medical wig and topper is crafted with extraordinary attention to detail—each strand placed with intention, each design shaped to help you feel beautiful, whole, and empowered again.
A New Chapter of Confidence and Comfort
Choosing a medical wig can be a turning point—a moment of relief, renewal, and joyful rediscovery. If you’ve been hiding under hats or scarves or avoiding mirrors, imagine instead stepping into a version of yourself that feels confident, radiant, and fully seen.
At OA Salons, we help bring that vision to life with loving guidance and luxury craftsmanship. Here, you’re not just choosing new hair—you’re choosing comfort, confidence, and a fresh beginning.
Use Your Medical Insurance to Help Cover Your Medical Wig
Many people are relieved to learn that human hair medical wigs and toppers are often covered by insurance.
Depending on your plan, insurers may cover 50% to 100% of the cost when the wig is medically necessary for hair loss.
You may qualify for reimbursement on your cranial prosthesis if:
- Your hair loss is due to a medical condition
- Your doctor provides a prescription or letter with a diagnosis code
- Your wig is purchased as a cranial prosthesis
- Visit our Insurance Reimbursement page for a simple, supportive guide to help you submit your claim with confidence.
Medical-Grade Cranial Prosthesis in Charlotte, NC
At OA Salons in Charlotte, NC, we specialize in medical wigs and cranial prosthesis services for individuals experiencing hair loss from cancer treatments, alopecia, and other medical conditions. Our medically focused studio serves patients throughout the Charlotte region who need more than a fashion accessory—they need a medical device designed with precision, compassion, and clinical expertise.
Medical wigs, properly termed cranial prosthesis units, are not standard beauty products.

Every element—from cap construction to hair density—is selected based on the client’s diagnosis, scalp condition, and lifestyle needs.
Our clinic-like, private setting features individual consultation rooms, sanitized tools, soft lighting, and scalp-safe products appropriate for post-chemo and autoimmune conditions. When you walk into OA Salons, you enter a space designed around your comfort and dignity.
OA Salons specializes in medical wig installation and ongoing care, led by specialists trained in oncology-related hair loss and trichology principles. Our team understands the unique challenges cancer patients and alopecia clients face—and we’ve built our entire practice around providing support through every phase of the journey.
Many clients travel from across North Carolina and South Carolina for medical wig fittings in Charlotte because of OA Salons’ medical expertise. Our reputation for natural looking results and ensuring comfort has made us a trusted resource for healthcare provider referrals throughout the region.

Choose Your Wig
OA Salons carries curated, medically safe wigs using European, Indian, and premium processed human hair with bases designed specifically for sensitive scalps. Every piece in our collection has been selected for its quality, durability, and appropriateness for medical hair loss situations.
Here are examples from our current medical wig collection:
Wig Option | Hair Type | Base Construction | Starting Price |
|---|---|---|---|
12″ Blonde-Balayage Charlotte Collection | European Human Hair | Medical Silicone Perimeter | $1,450 |
14″ Natural Black (1B) | Chinese Remy Human Hair | Medical Silicone Cap | $1,650 |
12″ Chestnut Brown Wavy | Indian Human Hair | Hand-Tied Medical Cap | $1,495 |
14″ Ruby Copper (Red 130) | Premium Human Hair | Lace Top with Polyurethane Ear Tabs | $1,695 |
16″ Dimensional Brunette | European Human Hair | Full Lace Medical Base | $1,850 |
10″ Pixie Salt & Pepper | Remy Human Hair | Monofilament Crown | $1,295 |
Choose Your Wig
All OA Salons medical grade wigs are available in full-lace, lace-front, and 100% hand-tied caps specifically engineered for total hair loss or patchy alopecia. The cap you select matters as much as the hair color or style—it determines how natural the wig feels against your scalp and how securely it stays in place.
Understanding Base Materials:
Lightweight mesh bases allow maximum airflow, reducing heat buildup during long wear
Silicone-grip perimeters provide secure attachment without adhesives—vital for compromised scalps
Anti-slip interiors prevent shifting during daily activities or active lifestyles
Breathable monofilament creates the illusion of natural hair growth from the scalp
Each base type serves a specific purpose for chemotherapy or autoimmune hair loss clients. For example, patients experiencing hot flashes benefit from ultra-breathable construction, while those with complete hair loss need secure perimeter grips.
Every wig can be customized in our Charlotte studio with hairline refinement, rooting for natural dimension, color adjustments, and medical-safe attachment methods. We never use harsh glues on compromised scalps—your skin’s integrity comes first.
Turnaround times: Custom orders typically require 4–8 weeks. For urgent cases before or during treatment, we maintain in-stock options ready for immediate fitting and customization.
Cranial Hair Prosthesis Charlotte, NC
A cranial hair prosthesis is a medical-grade wig prescribed for hair loss caused by chemotherapy, radiation therapy, alopecia areata, lupus, burns, and other documented diagnoses. Unlike retail wigs, a full cranial prosthesis is constructed to medical specifications and designed to address the specific challenges of medically induced hair loss.
OA Salons provides cranial prosthesis fittings and installations in Charlotte, NC, with private rooms and medically informed protocols. Our process respects both your physical comfort and emotional needs during what is often a difficult time.
Our Multi-Step Cranial Prosthesis Process:
In-Depth Consultation & Medical History Review
Discussion of your diagnosis, treatment timeline, and expected hair loss pattern
Review of any scalp sensitivities, allergies, or previous skin reactions
Detailed Head Measurements & Digital Scalp Assessment
Precise measurements of your cranial contours
Assessment of scalp condition to determine appropriate base materials
Documentation of hairline position and growth patterns
Selection of Cap Construction & Hair Type
Matching cap style to your diagnosis and lifestyle needs
Choosing between human hair and high-quality synthetic options based on your preferences
Determining appropriate density and texture
Customizing Hairline, Density & Color
Using pre-loss photos when available to recreate your natural appearance
Hand-finishing edges for seamless blending with any remaining natural hair
Adjusting density for age-appropriate and ethnically accurate results
OA Salons’ cranial prostheses are designed to stay secure without irritating fragile skin. They work for complete hair loss, partial loss, and regrowth phases—adapting as your situation evolves.
Who We Commonly See in Charlotte:
Patients from Levine Cancer Institute undergoing chemotherapy regimens
Clients receiving treatment at Novant Health cancer centers
Individuals with long-standing alopecia universalis seeking long-term solutions
Radiation therapy patients with localized hair loss patterns
Certain prostheses can be designed and installed for swimming, exercise, and sleeping when these activities are priorities. We set clear expectations during your consultation so you know exactly what your specific prosthesis can handle.
Why Our Cranial Prosthesis?
What separates OA Salons’ medical cranial prostheses from typical fashion wigs purchased online or in generic beauty stores? The difference lies in every detail—from construction to fitting to ongoing support.
Key Differentiators:
Custom fit caps mapped to each client’s cranial contours to minimize pressure points, eliminate slippage, and prevent discomfort during extended wear
Ultra-soft, breathable cap materials including medical grade silicone, hand-tied Swiss lace, and hypoallergenic mesh—selected specifically for sensitive or irradiated scalps
Natural hairlines created with single-knotted, graduated fronts and realistic densities appropriate for each age group and ethnicity—the result looks like natural hair growing from your own head
Lightweight designs that allow all-day wear, even during long hospital visits, follow-up appointments, or full workdays without neck strain or discomfort
Our medically oriented approach includes coordinating with dermatologists or oncologists when needed. We can time your fitting around your treatment schedule, wait for healthcare provider clearance after procedures, and adapt to changing scalp conditions throughout your treatment journey.
Every cranial prosthesis includes comprehensive orientation on home care:
Safe removal techniques that protect both your scalp and the unit
Proper cleansing methods for the cap and hair
Storage recommendations to maintain hair integrity and extend lifespan
Guidance on when professional maintenance is needed
A Charlotte Client’s Experience:
One of our clients came to OA Salons three weeks into her chemotherapy protocol, experiencing significant hair loss that left her avoiding mirrors and canceling social commitments. After her fitting, she wore her custom cranial prosthesis home and returned to work the next day. Her coworkers assumed she’d simply gotten a new hairstyle. Three months later, she told us the prosthesis gave her back something chemotherapy couldn’t take—her sense of normalcy.
Hair Loss Solutions
OA Salons offers a spectrum of hair loss solutions in Charlotte, from temporary wigs during chemotherapy to long-term cranial prostheses for chronic conditions. Not every client needs the same level of coverage, and our role is to match you with the right solution for your specific situation.
Solution Categories:
Medical Wigs / Cranial Prostheses For full or near-total hair loss requiring complete coverage with secure, all-day wear capability
Topper Systems & Partial Pieces For thinning at the crown or hairline where existing natural hair can blend with added coverage
Protective Cranial Coverings Scarves, turbans, and soft caps for ultra-sensitive scalps or early treatment phases when the scalp isn’t ready for a full prosthesis
Non-Surgical Hair Replacement Plans For clients not ready for transplant, ineligible for surgery, or managing ongoing hair loss control challenges
Matching Solutions to Conditions:
Condition | Typical Pattern | Recommended Solutions |
|---|---|---|
Chemotherapy-induced alopecia | Complete or near-complete loss | Full cranial prosthesis |
Alopecia areata | Patchy, unpredictable | Custom prosthesis or partial piece |
Traction alopecia | Hairline recession | Lace-front partial or topper |
Trichotillomania | Variable patterns | Customized coverage based on areas |
Scarring alopecias | Permanent localized loss | Targeted prosthesis solutions |
OA Salons positions itself as your supportive partner—not just a vendor. We provide education, set realistic expectations, and develop phased plans as you move from active treatment into recovery or long-term management.
Many solutions are designed to transition as hair regrows. You’re not locked into the same intensity of coverage forever if your condition improves. We can adjust, modify, or graduate you to lighter solutions as your natural hair returns.

Insurance & Medical Wig Reimbursement
Many OA Salons clients in Charlotte receive partial or full reimbursement for cranial prostheses through private insurance, HSAs/FSAs, or other benefit programs. Understanding your coverage can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket cost.
Steps for Insurance Reimbursement:
Verify Policy Language Check your insurance policies for “cranial prosthesis” or “cranial hair prosthesis” coverage. Many insurance plans that deny “wig” claims will cover the cost under medical prosthesis language.
Obtain Diagnosis & Prescription Request documentation from your dermatologist, oncologist, or treating physician. This should specify medical hair loss and medical necessity for a cranial prosthesis. Include the appropriate diagnosis code on all paperwork.
Request Detailed Invoice from OA Salons We provide medical invoices listing the device as a cranial hair prosthesis custom fitted unit, along with appropriate procedure or product codes when available.
Submit Claim with Supporting Documentation File your claim form with your insurance company or insurance provider. Keep copies of everything for your records.
Coverage Realities:
Coverage varies widely by policy. Some insurance plans cover $200–$1,500 once per benefit period for medically necessary cranial prosthesis units. Others offer annual benefits, and certain conditions qualify for enhanced coverage.
OA Salons provides all supporting documentation you need but cannot guarantee insurance coverage—that authority lies with your insurance carrier or benefits administrator. We’re happy to speak with your insurance company on your behalf when helpful.
For Clients Without Coverage:
Payment plans to spread the purchase cost over time
HSA/FSA fund utilization guidance
Information on tracking medical expenses that may be tax-deductible when they exceed IRS thresholds
Guidance on resources for financial assistance programs
Conditions We Commonly Support
OA Salons’ medical background focuses on clients whose hair loss stems from a documented medical condition rather than purely cosmetic preferences. We understand that medical hair loss carries unique physical and emotional challenges.
Diagnoses We Work With:
Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia Breast cancer, lymphoma, leukemia, and other cancer patients treated at Charlotte-area centers experience varying degrees of hair loss. Some protocols cause complete loss within weeks; others result in gradual thinning. We time fittings to match your treatment schedule.
Alopecia Areata, Totalis & Universalis These autoimmune conditions cause patchy to complete hair loss across the scalp and body. Certain conditions like alopecia areata may fluctuate, requiring adaptable solutions that work during both loss and regrowth phases.
Radiation-Related Hair Loss Localized to treatment fields, such as cranial radiation for brain tumors. These patterns require custom prostheses designed around specific areas of permanent or temporary loss.
Autoimmune Conditions Lupus, thyroid disorders, and other systemic conditions lead to diffuse shedding and thinning. These clients often need lightweight, breathable solutions they can wear comfortably alongside other symptom management.
Scarring Alopecias Burns, accidents, or surgical procedures on the scalp create permanent hair loss patterns. Custom prostheses provide coverage while protecting scar tissue from irritation.
How Medical Context Influences Wig Choice:
Ultra-soft liners for inflamed or tender scalps
Low-density options for more discrete, natural coverage
Breathable caps for clients experiencing hot flashes from treatment
Hypoallergenic materials for immunocompromised patients
OA Salons maintains strict hygiene protocols to protect immunocompromised clients: disinfected tools, washed caps, and disposable liners during fittings. Your safety is non-negotiable.
Hair loss is a medical event deserving of expert, respectful care—not something you should navigate alone or feel pressure to hide.
