What moves the price
- Type of extension — human hair extensions cost more than synthetic ones, though they can be restyled and worn for longer.
- Method of application — keratin bonds and micro-rings are fitted strand by strand, so they take longer than tape-ins or clip-ins.
- Length of hair required — longer hair extensions use more hair, and long lengths of human hair cost more to buy.
- Volume desired — a fuller look needs more hair extensions and more time to fit them.
- Any required preparation work — washing, detangling or colouring your own hair first adds time before the extensions go in.
- Cutting or styling — blending the extensions into your own hair with a cut adds time to the appointment.
