Furryankle,
Yeah, totally - you can have an awesome hair line. It'll take a little maintenance, but no more than hair extensions or 5 minute nails, I guess. Okay, maybe it'll take slightly longer than the nails!
There are a few really good companies out there, and a whole load of really bad ones! Must've gone through about 6 before I found one even remotley good! I'd stay away from Ellery... costs a small fortune and they don't give you any after-support.
Here's a link to some before/after shots at a pretty decent place. You don't have to use them, but should give you an idea of what's out there. Women's systems are exactly the same, just mainly longer, if that's the way you want to go.

Hope it all works out for your big day!
