Schedule a Rehair

Read through these steps or skip to the “Schedule your rehair” links below:

Choose your rehair day through the links below. The date you choose will be the day your bow is photographed, cleaned, polished, re-haired, and shipped back to you. This calendar is also an up-to-date reflection of available in-store rehair appointments.

If you do not wish to drop off your bow and do not already have a NetRehair Tube, please order one before scheduling your send-in rehair. Tube orders are processed and shipped within one business day.

Provide the brand on the handle of your bow(s) if applicable. If your bow needs repair or if you have concerns regarding its health, please let us know in the “Details” section through the appropriate scheduling link below. Each bow is examined as soon as it arrives at our workshop. We will e-mail you an estimate for the requested repair(s) that includes the cost and an estimated date of completion.

As of January 2015, we are offering a faux-ivory option for replacement tips. Otherwise, tips are replaced with extinct mastodon ivory; please e-mail us for more details. We are usually booked for major bow restorations and replica frogs several months in advance. If you would like to discuss this sort of restoration and/or join our waiting list, please e-mail us. For more information about our repair and restoration techniques, visit our Techniques page.

UPS is our primary shipping provider; however, we are happy to accommodate USPS and FedEx. UPS Ground to most cities within NC, SC, VA, and TN is a 1-day transit time. We also avoid shipping bows when they will be held in a warehouse over a weekend. Send us an e-mail if you have any questions about transit time to your area. By default, we require that someone sign for the bow upon its return to you.

If you do not wish for us to require a signature, please let us know in the “Details” section below. You may also choose “Pick Up In Store” for an in-house appointment.

Depending on the rehair date you have chosen, you may wish either to wait to ship your bow(s) or to go ahead and ship as soon as you have scheduled an appointment. Please ensure your bow(s) are at our workshop the day before your scheduled rehair date; sooner is also fine. Use the packing instructions inside your NetRehair Tube, or follow the visual directions provided on our website to pack your bow(s) safely.

You may purchase a UPS printable shipping label directly from this website after you click the “Schedule My Rehair” button following your choice of day. Simply place it on the NetRehair Tube and take your package to a local shipping store or hand it to the UPS driver.

Ship to:
4911 Waters Edge Dr., Suite 200
Raleigh, NC 27606

If you have chosen “Pick Up In Store,” you may drop off or ship your bow(s). Either way, we request that your bow(s) be at our workshop the day before your appointment.

The cost of a rehair is $87 for violin, viola, and cello bows. For bass bows, we offer white hair, salt-and-pepper hair, or black hair at $98, $93, and $87 respectively. Rehair payment as well as return shipping will be charged at the time of booking. Any further requested work will be estimated when the bow arrives, and performed and billed after approval.
