Hair systems for Black men, matched to your texture.

  • 20+ years barbering
  • Men and women, every hair type

Texture is everything

A hair system for Afro-textured hair has to match your curl pattern and density, not just your color. A unit that is too straight, too loose or too full is what gives a system away.

Geiva matches your unit to your texture, color and density, so it sits with your own hair rather than on top of it.

Cut and blended by a barber

With more than 20 years of barbering behind her, Geiva cuts the system into your own hair, so the hairline, the sides and the back match. Whether you wear it short and close or longer, it is finished like a cut, not just fitted.

She has spent 10 years specializing in custom hair units and is known for natural-looking units with undetectable hairlines.

Man weave or hair unit?

Same thing. Man weave, hair unit and hair system all mean real hair on a thin base, fitted and blended with your own. It is non-surgical, and you leave with your hair cut and styled. Read more about men’s hair systems.
