Start with three factors: lifestyle, budget, and priority.
- Natural appearance priority → lace or ultra-thin skin (0.02–0.03mm), ideal for exposed hairlines; lace is also better for clients who sweat more or live in humid climates
- Durability priority → mono or thicker skin (≥0.08mm), better for daily wear and longer lifespan
- Balance priority → hybrid hair pieces (durable base with a natural lace front)
Also consider the maintenance level. Lace systems require more frequent salon upkeep and are better suited for clients who are comfortable with regular upkeep. Skin systems are generally lower maintenance and easier to manage, making them suitable for clients who prefer a simpler routine.
