Custom Hairwork Commissions
OPEN
Hi there! I’m Zen, and I’m so glad you’re here. It would be an honor to create a meaningful hairwork piece just for you. This art form requires patience and care, and I approach every piece with the utmost respect and dedication. Your trust means the world to me, and I deeply appreciate the opportunity to work with something as personal and unique as your hair. Thank you for considering me to craft a piece that celebrates your memories and connections.
I’ve introduced two types of commissions to meet your needs:
1. Fully Custom Hairwork
Standalone braids (provide your own jewelry) start at $200 for small pendant knots, $300 for rings, and $500 for bracelets; pricing is based on length and complexity. Wearable heirloom pieces incorporating hairwork + metalwork begin at $850 for sterling silver rings and $1,650 for bracelets.
To start the process, please fill out the contact form below. Based on the information you provide, I will send you a general estimate for your project. From there, we can proceed further.
2. Semi-Custom Hairwork
Semi-custom options involve incorporating the hair you provide into existing jewelry designs. To order: Choose from the antique jewelry pieces available in the shop. Add on the Semi-Custom Hairwork option before checkout. After placing your order, I’ll email you detailed instructions on how to prepare and mail your hair. The current turnaround time is 6-8 weeks after I receive your hair.
Before you proceed, I encourage you to:
