Where extension hair goes to die

Every year, salons throw away thousands of kilograms of premium human hair. When extensions come out, the hair — often still in beautiful condition — goes straight to landfill, along with the water, labour, and textile dyes it took to produce it.

We keep ours. More than twenty kilograms a year, inspected, sanitized and saved.

What we're building

ReCrown

ReCrown is a custom scalp prosthesis for people experiencing hair loss from chemotherapy and alopecia — built by hand in our Toronto studio from reclaimed extension hair.

Each piece is cast to fit, colour-matched to your skin, and made from sanitized, reclaimed remy hair. And it's priced to be reachable — because losing your hair shouldn't cost thousands to answer.

Why it started

One client, one chair

A client with alopecia sat in our chair needing a topper that didn't exist — nothing fit her, and nothing was affordable. Meanwhile, our salon was quietly saving every quality extension we removed, because throwing out beautiful hair felt wrong.

The Crown Project is those two problems solving each other.

Where we are

The seventh prototype works

Six attempts didn't. We refused the industry-standard adhesives used overseas — nothing touches a healing scalp that we wouldn't defend ingredient by ingredient — so we built the process from scratch, and each failure taught us what the next one needed.

First fittings are coming.

We'll reach out as fittings open — no newsletter, no noise.
