Hairloom Pet Portraits are unique keepsakes made using your pet’s actual hair.
But we get it. Commissioning custom art online can sometimes feel like a leap of faith.
That’s why we created Start with a Sketch, a simple two-step process that lets you see a digital preview of your artwork before fully committing to buy.
Start with a Sketch
Step 1 – Sketch & Kit ($100 upfront)
Your payment of $100 includes:
A digital sketch of your pet portrait, based on 3–5 photos you provide.
- This sketch gives you a clear visual idea of how the final artwork will look.
- It’s quick, shareable, and delivered to your email within 7 days.
- While it won’t include your pet’s real hair yet, it reflects the composition and style of the final piece (but keeps the full surprise intact!).
A hair collection kit, mailed to your address so you can collect your pet’s hair in preparation for the final artwork. If you decide not to go ahead, there’s no need to return the kit.
A unique code, which you can use for $100 off your Hairloom Pet Portrait, a portrait made with your pet’s actual hair.
Step 2 – Approve & Proceed
After viewing the sketch:
-
You decide whether to continue.
-
If you’re happy and would like to order a Hairloom Pet Portrait made with your actual pet’s hair, all you need to do is:
-
Return your pet’s hair in the envelope provided with your hair collection kit.
-
Select your preferred artwork size.
-
Use your unique code at check out for $100 off your order.
-
Pay the remaining balance.
-
Then I will begin crafting the portrait with your pet’s real hair for shipment to you when it’s complete.
Reviews
I was initially hesitant about ordering a portrait over the internet. But the Start with a Sketch option gave me the peace of mind I needed. Leo sent through a digital sketch before any hair was used, and it was absolutely beautiful. I knew right then I wanted to go ahead with the full portrait. The process was simple and seamless, and Leo kept me updated every step of the way. Now I have a stunning portrait of my dog Gorda I truly cherish. Highly recommend.
