Company profile
researched Sep 2026WellCapped is an Atlanta, Georgia-based company that rents human hair wigs and hair extensions to consumers rather than selling them. Members select from a shared inventory of wigs that are manufactured by stylists in Atlanta and shipped ready-to-wear: glueless, pre-cut, bleached, sanitized and styled. Customers can rent a single wig, with most units listed at $72 for a two-week rental, or subscribe to a recurring plan. The company launched in April 2022 and was co-founded by cousins Shante Frazier and Lauren Mitchell, who serves as CMO.
A central operational element is a nine-step sanitation process developed in consultation with a hairstylist and people working in health fields, intended to clean returned hair to a standard the founders describe as exceeding that of hair received from overseas vendors. Customers return wigs using a prepaid shipping label, and local contractors — typically salon-based stylists working between clients — perform washing, sanitizing and restyling. The company has stated plans to onboard additional stylists for this work in its highest-traction markets.
The founders have described an intention to extend WellCapped beyond wig rental into a broader "Netflix for beauty products" platform built around predictive modeling and product recommendations, positioning the business as a technology company. WellCapped participated in the Techstars Atlanta Powered by Cox Enterprises accelerator and was among ten companies presenting at that cohort's Demo Day.
