Yeah, my first club used lace pieces with a poly perimeter (back and sides) and attached them with Vapon No Tape (I think that's what it's called -- the stuff in the little blue tube). That stuff will flat out hold, easily for a month. Problem is, things get a little malodorous when you have something stuck on your head for that long, so you have to go back after a couple weeks. The great news, however, is that you can buy the same stuff off the web, get your pieces from TopLace, and remove it as often as you want, all at a tiny fraction of the price of the clubs. Well, at least it's a tiny fraction compared to what I used to pay, but maybe I was taken a little harder than most.

Oh, and as for how they get away with it, I think the key to their "success" almost always lies in our own ignorance. Think about it -- you walk in, they talk a mile a minute, and make something that is outrageously simple sound like rocket science. They sit you down in a chair, usually facing away from a mirror, make all kinds of measurements, create a template, and use a bunch of over the top terminology to describe a piece of fabric with hair tied into it. Most of us wind up thinking, at least initially, "Wow, this is the greatest thing ever and I could never do this on my own." Well, websites and forums like this one are bringing an end to all that. There's nothing that they can provide or do that you can't accomplish on your own in the hairwearing game. You can get pieces of equal or better quality right here at toplace at a fraction of the cost, and you can buy every kind of attachment product known to man either through Debbie or a couple of other reputable suppliers, and you can find somebody to cut the thing in for less than 100 bucks (and sometimes much less). All they can provide you is convenience, but at a price that is through the roof.
