"Lastly, fit the wig based on the style or shape of the wig, trim the lace according to the face shape of the client's head, apply a little bit of light glue to enhance the blending between the frontal lace and the skin, and avoid using very strong glue. Then, style as you wish."

Lazaros states that it is possible to redo a hairstyle depending on the terms and conditions, the hairstyle itself, and the final agreement between the stylist and the client.
