You can email John and he will send you a color chart for the stock units.

Regarding a template for the front hair line, you won't find one. You have to make that on your own to a certain extent, which isn't hard at all. Just make sure you don't make your hairline straight across.

I went the same route it sounds like you are going. I ordered a stock unit first and then have a custom on order. I also sent the stock unit to Debbie to be cut to the size of my template and cut a bit. In the future if I order another stock unit, I won't be sending to Debbie. Not because she did anything wrong, she was in fact very good and helpful. But I also I found a woman here in my city that can cut bases and do the cut ins for a very reasonable price, and I'll save time and money. With that being said, I would check and see if you can find a similar person in your area first.

Hope any of this helps. Don't hesitate to ask more questions. Wearing has been great for me, been 3 weeks now and now realize I should have earlier.
