As the parent company of some of the most recognized and respected brands in alternative hair—including Great Lengths, Raquel Welch, Hairdo, American Hairlines, among others—HairUWear serves as the single-source provider for salons, stylists and consumers.

“Our passion and commitment to bringing innovative products to market with uncompromised quality and style, providing superior customer service and unparalleled education, and supporting our brands with bold dynamic lifestyle marketing have been our keys to success for more than 50 years,” says Michael Napolitano, CEO of HairUWear. “The ability we have to transform lives still gets me as excited today as when I started the business.”

Design + Technology

A hallmark of HairUWear’s reputation is its commitment to innovation, sophisticated manufacturing, comfort and style. The Design Team is a curated collection of tastemakers who develop leading techniques and procure the finest materials to develop natural-looking, versatile and wearable solutions. 

These world-class designers collaborate with trade experts from all corners of the globe to be on top of emerging trends, and to develop a diverse portfolio of solutions for every client, every lifestyle and every budget.   “From initial designs to manufacturing the finished product, quality is our top priority,” says Laurence Bate, Vice President Design & Product Development. “We invest an extraordinary amount of time and resources to ensure we deliver the highest-quality products in the industry.”

Education + Certification

“At HairUWear, we believe education is the cornerstone of salon success,” says Michael Ferrara, Chief Marketing Officer of HairUWear. “Our effectiveness in the classroom directly relates to our attendees’ success, so we are as comprehensive as possible to ensure beauty professionals are capturing their fair share of the hair extensions, wigs and hair additions business.”

HairUWear’s On The Road experience creates confidence to offer services catering to all client needs, from those looking for wigs, toppers and clip-in extensions and accessories for fashion and convenience, to those experiencing natural hair loss or as a result of medical conditions or treatments. The curriculum includes wig cap construction and h­­­­air fiber, steaming, as well as shade selection, maintenance, and customization in cutting, styling and texturizing.  

American Hairlines Hair Replacement certification includes two days of hair loss essentials, client consultation techniques for non-surgical hair replacement, live model demonstrations, hands-on application, customization, cutting, styling, removal, maintenance and more.

The Great Lengths Certification training brings two days of hands-on training for application and removal of Great Lengths’ premium bonding method and GL Tapes. The curriculum includes expert placement strategies for lengthening, volumizing, dimensional color effects and specialty application techniques, as well as effective cutting techniques for seamless blending.

Along with the technical skills, attendees learn how to build a successful business from the client consultation to aftercare, as well as the marketing and promotion of services. Explore the schedule of classes at hairuwear.com.

House of HairUWear

Great Lengths has been defining excellence in the world of hair extensions for thirty years. Dedicated exclusively to the beauty professional, Great Lengths hair is 100% ethically sourced from voluntary donations deriving from religious practices in Indian Hindu Temples. Each strand is artfully crafted in Italy, where the brand was founded in 1992, and the hair is blended by hand into the leading premium luxury hair extension brand in the world. All Great Lengths hair is 100% Remy virgin human hair and double drawn, which means it has the same density from root to end with the cuticle in the same direction.

For more than 20 years, legendary beauty Raquel Welch has served as Creative Director of this respected collection of wigs and toppers, giving women the hair they’ve always dreamed of with bold, sensuous looks. Her Transformations Top Pieces by Raquel Welch line is a curated collection of ready-to-wear toppers and top-of-head hairpieces, that are lightweight, secure, comfortable and, above all, natural-looking.
