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:

  • Review the FAQ page for answers to common questions about pricing, hair length requirements, and more.

  • Browse the Gallery to see examples of previous hairwork keepsakes I’ve made for clients, and look at some antiques to gain inspiration for your project.
