Still Have Questions About
Hair Follicle Testing?
How far back does a hair follicle drug test detect drug use? A standard head hair sample looks back approximately 90 days — about three months of drug history. Body hair samples can reach back up to 12 months, depending on the growth cycle of the area collected.
Can body hair be used if I am bald or have short hair? Answer: Yes. If head hair is unavailable or shorter than 1.5 inches, our collectors can source a sample from body hair (such as the chest, underarms, or legs). Body hair grows at a different rate and typically provides an expanded detection window of up to 6 to 12 months. Samples from different areas are never mixed.
Do I need an appointment for a hair follicle drug test in Tucson? No appointment is required. Our West Tucson lab on St. Mary's Rd accepts walk-ins Monday through Friday, 7 AM to 4 PM. Booking online is available if you want a guaranteed time slot, but most patients are checked in, collected, and out the door in under 20 minutes. Same-day collection is the standard, not the exception.
What to Expect During
Your Hair Follicle Collection in Tucson
Most patients walking into our West Tucson lab have never had a hair drug test before—and they usually arrive with the same questions. Here's exactly what happens from the moment you check in at our St. Mary's Rd location to the moment your signed report lands in your portal.

Check-In and ID Verification (5 minutes): You'll show a valid government-issued photo ID and confirm the reason for testing.

Hair Sample Collection (5 to 10 minutes) :
Your trained collector takes a small sample of hair from the crown of your head—roughly the diameter of a shoelace tip, about 100 to 120 strands. The snip is taken close to the scalp with sterile scissors.
No skin contact, no pulling, no pain. The cut area is hidden under surrounding hair and is not visible once you leave. The collector seals, labels, and initials the specimen in front of you before it leaves the room.
