Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you might ask before your first commission — the system, the colour, the fit, and how it reaches you.

The System

What exactly is a GrayCut system?+

A fine, breathable base — 0.03 to 0.08mm — with hair knotted to it by hand and cut to your head in limited batches. Worn daily, it is indistinguishable from your own hair.

Which base should I choose?+

0.03mm is the most invisible, for events and photography (about one month of active life). 0.06mm — the hybrid — suits roughly 90% of clients, with three months of life. 0.08mm is the most durable, for swimmers and extreme wear (about five months).

How long does a system last?+

It depends on the base and your routine — from one to five months of active life. Most clients keep two systems in rotation and renew on a predictable cadence.

Colour & Shade

How many shades are there?+

Six European shades: Soft Black, Dark Ash Brown, Chestnut, Warm Auburn, Field Blonde and Salt and Pepper.

What is the Free Colour Match?+

Send a few photos in natural light and a colourist returns your exact shade at no cost and with no obligation — so your first commission is right the first time.

Can you match greying or salt-and-pepper hair?+

Yes. Salt and Pepper is part of our core palette, and we can blend density to your greying pattern.

Fitting & Sizing

How do I find my size?+

Each system is made to a single head. The match quiz and a short measurement guide get you to the right fit; the atelier confirms before cutting.

Is it made to order?+

Every system is cut to order in limited batches. Nothing is mass-produced.

Care & Maintenance

How do I care for it?+

Gentle washing on a regular cadence with the right products extends the base's life. A full care guide ships with your first commission.

Can I swim and exercise in it?+

Yes — choose the 0.08mm base for swimmers and extreme wear.

Orders & Delivery

How is it delivered?+

Discreetly, in unbranded packaging, dispatched within 24 hours from our European atelier across Paris, Milan and Berlin. Delivery is complimentary on your first commission.

How long until it arrives?+

Typically three to five days after dispatch, depending on your city.

Discretion & Returns

Is my order private?+

Entirely. Packaging is unbranded and your details stay with the atelier.

What if the shade isn't right?+

Use the Free Colour Match first and it will be. If something is off, write to the atelier and we will make it right.
