Human hair extensions can cost from a few hundred to more than a thousand euros. The price changes mainly according to hair quality, quantity, length, application method and the services included.
When comparing two quotes, the total alone tells you very little. You need to know what you are paying for.
What determines the price?
- hair quality and processing;
- grams or number of strands;
- length and texture;
- type of attachment;
- application time;
- colour and cut customisation;
- services included in the quote.
Why does quantity change the price?
The more grams or strands required, the higher the material cost and, often, the application time. The correct quantity depends on the starting density and the desired result.
A quote that does not state grams or number of strands is difficult to compare seriously.
Does length affect the cost?
Yes. Longer lengths require more selected raw material and, in many cases, a greater quantity to maintain full ends and a believable blend.
Does the method change the price?
Yes. Clip-ins, micro-rings, tape-ins, keratin bonds and wefts require different materials and working times. Some systems are reusable, which can spread the cost of the lengths over more than one cycle.
What should a serious quote include?
- grams or number of strands;
- length and texture;
- application method;
- cost of the hair;
- application cost, if separate;
- blending cut, if included;
- any future costs explained clearly.
