Bespoke Sheitels for Every Vision

Whether you need a single custom piece or a recurring production run, every LEV bespoke sheitel is built from scratch to your exact specifications — specifically, never from stock inventory.

Every Detail, Your Decision

A bespoke LEV sheitel puts every specification in your hands. Here is what you control when you commission a custom piece. Indeed, every detail matters.

Cap Construction

Choose from silk top (0.2mm multi-layer knot concealment), Swiss lace (durable natural-looking foundation), HD lace (ultra-transparent for invisible hairlines), or hybrid combinations. Each bespoke commission can mix materials — for example, silk top crown with HD lace front, or full Swiss lace with reinforced edges. Additionally, we guide you through the selection based on your styling preferences and wearing habits.

Hair Origin

Three primary hair types: European virgin hair (fine, soft, natural movement — the gold standard for sheitels), Slavic hair (finest denier available, naturally light shades require minimal processing), and Mongolian hair (slightly more body and volume, ideal for fuller styles). Moreover, single-donor options available for maximum consistency. All hair is ethically sourced, cuticle-aligned, and has never been chemically processed.

Measurements

Your cap is built from scratch using six key measurements: circumference, front to nape, ear to ear across forehead, ear to ear over top, temple to temple around back, and nape width. We provide a detailed measurement guide and offer virtual fitting consultations for sheitel stores. Consequently, the custom cap ensures a precision fit that stock wigs simply cannot match.

Density and Length

Hair density ranges from light (100%) to heavy (150%), with every gradation in between available. Length is fully customizable from 10 inches to 28 inches, measured from crown to tips. For layered styles, specify different lengths for the crown, sides, and back. Moreover, we recommend density based on hair origin — European hair looks fullest at medium density, while Mongolian achieves similar body at lighter density.

Color and Styling

Choose from 40+ stock colors or commission a custom blend. Highlights, lowlights, balayage, ombré, and rooted effects are all available. For complex color work, we can send a hair sample for your approval before beginning production. Additionally, styling options include straight, body wave, loose curl, tight curl, and custom cuts. You can also request the piece unstyled for your local sheitel macher to cut and style.

Production Timeline

Standard bespoke production is 8 to 12 weeks, covering hair sourcing, cap construction, hand-tying (40 to 80 hours per piece), styling, and four-point quality inspection. However, complex commissions — single-donor European hair, intricate color blending, or hybrid cap construction — may take up to 13 weeks. Rush orders can reduce this to approximately 6 weeks for an additional fee.

A Wig Made Only for You

A bespoke sheitel from LEV Wigs is fundamentally different from buying a stock wig. Indeed, here is what makes the custom commission experience worth the investment.

Photo Approval Before Shipping

The number one complaint in the bespoke wig industry is receiving a piece that does not match expectations. Consequently, LEV Wigs eliminates this problem entirely with our photo approval process.

Before any bespoke sheitel ships from our Qingdao workshop, we photograph it from multiple angles — close-ups of the hairline, parting detail, color accuracy, overall styling, and cap construction. You review these images and either approve the piece for shipping or request specific adjustments. Furthermore, this ensures complete satisfaction.

Hair Sourced for Your Commission

When you commission a bespoke LEV sheitel, we do not pull hair from existing stock. Instead, we source hair specifically for your order, selecting virgin European, Slavic, or Mongolian hair that matches your texture, color, and quality requirements.

Every batch is verified for cuticle alignment, checked for consistent denier thickness, and inspected under magnification before it enters production. Moreover, single-donor options ensure the entire wig is made from one person's hair for unmatched consistency.

Cap Built from Your Measurements

No two heads are the same shape, and a wig that fits perfectly looks dramatically better than one that does not. Your bespoke LEV sheitel is built from six precise measurements of your head, creating a cap that sits flush against your scalp without pressure points, gaps, or slipping. Indeed, precision fitting makes all the difference.

The cap is constructed entirely from scratch — not trimmed down from a stock size — so the hair density, knot direction, and parting placement are all optimized for your specific cap shape. Consequently, this ensures superior comfort and styling.

40 to 80 Hours of Skilled Hand Work

A single bespoke sheitel from LEV Wigs requires between 40 and 80 hours of skilled hand-tying, depending on the density, cap complexity, and hair length. Each strand is individually knotted onto the cap foundation using professional ventilation techniques that create natural growth patterns. Indeed, this meticulous process ensures unmatched quality.

Our master wig makers in Qingdao have an average of 8+ years of individual experience, and many have been with LEV since our founding. Furthermore, this is not assembly-line production — it is patient, deliberate craftsmanship.

Transparent Process with Progress Updates

Poor communication is the second most common complaint about bespoke wig orders, particularly from Chinese manufacturers. Consequently, LEV Wigs addresses this directly with a transparent production process that keeps you informed at every stage.

From the moment your commission enters production, you receive updates at key milestones: hair sourcing confirmation, cap construction start, hand-tying progress, styling phase, and the final quality inspection. Moreover, your dedicated point of contact responds within 24 hours.

From Consultation to Your Door

Every bespoke LEV sheitel follows a meticulous five-step process. Indeed, here is exactly what happens from the moment you submit your commission to the day your piece arrives.

Step One
Consultation and Specifications
Your bespoke journey begins with a detailed consultation. We collect your six-point head measurements, discuss hair preferences (origin, texture, density, length), determine your cap construction choice (silk top, Swiss lace, HD lace, or hybrid), review inspiration photos, and establish styling requirements. Additionally, for sheitel stores, we offer virtual video consultations to ensure precision.

Step Two
Hair Sourcing and Selection
Unlike stock wig suppliers, we source hair specifically for your commission. Virgin European, Slavic, or Mongolian hair is selected from our verified donor network, hand-sorted by length, color, and texture. Moreover, cuticle alignment is verified under magnification. For single-donor commissions, we match the entire order to one donor for maximum consistency.

Step Three
Custom Cap Construction
Your wig cap is built entirely from scratch using your six head measurements. The foundation is constructed with your chosen base material — 0.2mm silk top for scalp realism, Swiss lace for durability, HD lace for an invisible hairline, or a hybrid combination. Additionally, reinforced edges, adjustable straps, and ear tabs are positioned precisely to your measurements.

Step Four
Hand-Tying and Ventilation
This is the heart of the bespoke process. Individual hair strands are hand-tied onto your custom cap using professional ventilation techniques — 40 to 80 hours of skilled work depending on density and complexity. Moreover, hair at the hairline is ventilated at a flatter angle, crown hair follows a swirl pattern, and nape hair hangs naturally.

Step Five
Quality Inspection and Photo Approval
The finished sheitel undergoes a four-point inspection: knot security under magnification, density consistency across all zones, color accuracy under D65 daylight lighting, and construction integrity. We then photograph your piece from multiple angles and send the images for your review. Ultimately, only after you approve does the piece ship — no surprises.

Built for Those Who Demand More

Sheitel Store Owners
Offer What Others Cannot

Your clients come to you because they trust your expertise and your ability to deliver something they cannot find elsewhere. Indeed, a bespoke LEV sheitel gives you that premium product — custom-built for each individual client with photo approval that builds confidence from the first order.

Our kosher certification and full hair sourcing documentation give your Orthodox clientele the assurance they need. Moreover, with our sample program, you can evaluate quality before committing, and our recurring wholesale program provides dedicated account management and consistent production for your ongoing bespoke orders.

Custom Sheitel Machers
Premium Bases for Your Artistry

As a sheitel macher, your reputation depends on the quality of your finished work. Consequently, commissioning a bespoke base from LEV Wigs gives you the finest foundation available — custom-measured to your client, constructed with your choice of materials, and delivered with hair that meets professional standards.

You can specify the piece unstyled, giving you full control over the final cut, color, and styling. Furthermore, single-donor European hair provides the consistency you need for high-end commissions, and our transparent production process means you always know where your client's piece stands.

Individual Clients
A Wig That Is Uniquely Yours

If you have ever purchased a stock wig and felt that something was not quite right — the cap did not fit perfectly, the color was slightly off, the density looked too thick or too thin — a bespoke commission solves all of these problems at once. Indeed, custom specifications address every concern.

Your LEV bespoke sheitel is built to your head, using your choice of hair, in your preferred color, at your desired density and length. Moreover, the photo approval process means you see the finished result before it ships, giving you confidence that your investment will deliver exactly what you envision.

What Goes Into a LEV Bespoke Sheitel

01

Master Wig Makers with 8+ Years Experience

Every bespoke LEV sheitel is crafted by master wig makers who have a minimum of 8 years of individual experience in hand-tying and wig construction. Moreover, many of our artisans have been with LEV since our founding over a decade ago.

Their expertise covers the full range of cap constructions — silk top, Swiss lace, HD lace, and hybrid — and they understand how to adapt their technique for different hair origins, densities, and styling requirements. Furthermore, this depth of experience means your bespoke commission is not a learning exercise; it is executed by hands that have crafted thousands of sheitels.

02

Verified Hair Sourcing from Direct Donor Relationships

We maintain long-term relationships with verified hair donors and collectors across Eastern Europe, Russia, and Mongolia. Every batch of hair that enters our workshop is documented with sourcing information, verified for cuticle alignment under magnification, and tested for chemical processing (we reject any hair that has been acid-washed or silicone-coated). Indeed, we maintain rigorous quality standards.

For single-donor commissions, we maintain full traceability from donor to finished piece, providing documentation that is increasingly required by Orthodox communities for kosher certification.

03

Four-Point Quality Inspection Under Standardized Lighting

Before any bespoke sheitel leaves our workshop, it passes through our quality assurance process. Knot security is checked under 10x magnification to catch any loose or incorrectly tied knots. Density is measured across five zones (front hairline, crown, sides, back, and nape) to ensure even distribution.

Color accuracy is verified under D65 standardized daylight lighting — the same lighting used by professional colorists worldwide. Furthermore, overall construction integrity is assessed, including cap fit, edge bonding, and clip placement. Only pieces passing all four checkpoints are cleared for the photo approval stage.

Bespoke Commission FAQ

How long does a bespoke sheitel take to make?

A standard bespoke sheitel from LEV Wigs takes 8 to 12 weeks from the date we receive your completed measurement form and deposit. This timeline covers hair sourcing, cap construction, hand-tying, styling, and quality inspection. However, complex commissions — such as those requiring single-donor European hair, intricate color blending, or hybrid cap construction — may take up to 13 weeks. Rush orders are available for an additional fee, reducing production to approximately 6 weeks depending on specifications.

What hair origin do you use for bespoke sheitels?

LEV Wigs sources three primary hair types for bespoke commissions: European virgin hair (the finest available, with natural movement and a soft, silky texture), Slavic hair (prized for its fine denier and natural blonde-to-light-brown shades), and Mongolian hair (offering slightly more body and volume, ideal for clients who want fuller-looking wigs). Moreover, all hair is ethically sourced from verified donors, cuticle-aligned, and has never been chemically processed. Single-donor options are available for clients who demand the highest consistency in texture, color, and quality.

Can I send an inspiration photo for my custom wig?

Absolutely. We encourage clients to send inspiration photos showing the style, color, length, and overall look they want to achieve. Our master wig makers use these references alongside your written specifications to ensure the finished piece matches your vision. You can share photos via email, WhatsApp, or through the VIP Concierge form on this page. Indeed, the more visual references you provide, the more accurately we can bring your ideal sheitel to life.

How do I measure my head for a custom sheitel?

We provide a detailed measurement guide with every bespoke inquiry. You will need a flexible measuring tape and approximately 10 minutes. Key measurements include: circumference (around the hairline), front to nape (hairline to back of neck), ear to ear across the forehead, ear to ear over the top, temple to temple around the back, and nape width. Moreover, we recommend having a friend assist for the most accurate results. If you are a sheitel store or salon, we can also arrange a virtual fitting consultation via video call.

What is the difference between Swiss lace, HD lace, and silk top?

Swiss lace is a durable, natural-looking lace material suitable for everyday wear. HD lace is thinner and more transparent than Swiss lace, creating an even more undetectable hairline. Silk top construction uses a multi-layer system where hair is injected through a thin silk layer, completely concealing all knots and creating the illusion of hair growing from the scalp. Furthermore, for bespoke commissions, we can combine these materials — for example, a silk top crown with an HD lace front hairline for maximum realism.

Do you offer photo approval before shipping?

Yes. This is one of the most important steps in our bespoke process. Before any custom piece ships, we send you detailed photographs showing the finished sheitel from multiple angles — including close-ups of the hairline, parting, color accuracy, and overall styling. You review these photos and either approve the piece for shipping or request adjustments. Consequently, this photo approval process ensures that what you receive matches your specifications exactly.

What makes a wig kosher-compliant?

A kosher-compliant sheitel must meet halachic requirements regarding hair sourcing and construction. The hair used must come from sources that are permissible under Jewish law, and the production process must be overseen by a qualified rabbinical authority. LEV Wigs produces all bespoke sheitels under continuous rabbinical supervision in our Qingdao workshop. Moreover, we maintain documentation tracing every batch of hair back to its source, ensuring full transparency and compliance. Many Orthodox communities have specific requirements, and we are experienced in meeting the standards expected by communities in Brooklyn, London, Jerusalem, and beyond.

Can I order a sample before committing to a bespoke commission?

Yes. We offer a sample program for new wholesale partners who want to evaluate our craftsmanship before placing a bespoke order. You can order a stock piece in a standard specification to assess hair quality, knotting technique, and overall construction. Furthermore, the cost of the sample is credited toward your first bespoke commission order. For individual clients, we recommend starting with a consultation so we can understand your needs and recommend the best approach.

What is your return policy for bespoke sheitels?

Because every bespoke sheitel is made to your unique specifications, custom orders are non-returnable. However, our photo approval process ensures you see and approve the finished piece before it ships. If a bespoke sheitel arrives with a manufacturing defect that was not visible in the approval photos, we offer a full replacement at no additional charge. Additionally, we provide post-delivery adjustment support — if minor tweaks are needed after you receive the piece, our team will guide you or your local sheitel macher through the adjustment process. For those wanting to evaluate quality first, our lace front sheitels are available as stock samples.

How do you ensure color accuracy for custom orders?

Color accuracy is our top priority and the number one concern in bespoke wig commissions. Our process uses a three-step color verification system. First, we match your target color using our physical color ring with 40+ swatches, or you can send a photo of the desired shade for digital matching. Second, during production, our colorists blend the hair to match and verify under standardized D65 daylight lighting. Third, the photo approval step before shipping allows you to confirm the color looks correct in natural light. Moreover, for clients with complex color requirements — such as highlighted, balayage, or multi-tone effects — we can send a small hair sample for your approval before beginning the full piece.
