- Ten documents you will actually use.Notice of Privacy Practices, Business Associate Agreement, photo and video marketing authorization, breach response checklist, and six more.
- The salon environment.Physical safeguards when you work in a semi-public space you do not own, and what to do about the people within earshot.
- Marketing photographs.Why a treatment consent form does not cover posting a client's before-and-after, and what a compliant authorization actually looks like.
- A dated Certificate of Completion.Documented evidence of current HIPAA training, plus the workforce training log to back it up.
- A head start on the Provider Network.HIPAA training will be a prerequisite for the Wig Medical Provider Network currently in development.
Training, not legal advice

What's In Your Specialist Kit
Have Questions? We Have Answers.
Everything you need to know before enrolling.
Do I need a cosmetology license to become certified?
No. You do not need a cosmetology license or any prior professional license to become a Certified Cranial Prosthesis Specialist.
Does the Specialist Kit include the Consult Kit?
No, the Consult Kit is its own product. Unfortunately, the medical-grade wig caps are extremely expensive and very different compared to the standard wig caps in the fashion wig industry. This is sold on its own.
How long does the course take to complete?
Most students complete the course in 1–2 weeks, but you have lifetime access and can go at your own pace.
What is a cranial prosthesis?
A cranial prosthesis is a medical-grade wig designed for clients experiencing hair loss due to medical conditions like alopecia, chemotherapy, or other diagnoses. Unlike fashion wigs, cranial prostheses can be billed to insurance.
Can I bill insurance without being a hairstylist?
Yes. The certification teaches you how to register for an NPI number and bill Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance — no hairstylist license required.
How do I get my certificate?
After passing the final exam, you'll receive a digital certificate immediately. If you purchased the Complete Kit ($697), a professionally framed certificate will also be mailed to you.
What if I have questions during the course?
You'll have access to course support and can reach out with any questions as you work through the material.
Is there an in-person option?
Yes. We offer VIP in-person certification events. The next event is September 13, 2026 in Atlanta, followed by Orlando on November 15, 2026. Visit our In-Person Certification page for details.
