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.
