Hair Extensions cost: questions people ask
Usually £200 to £1,000 for a set, with about £465 typical for a fitted full head. Clip-ins cost less and premium bonded sets cost more.
A full head takes two to four hours depending on the method. Tape is usually the quickest.
Badly fitted or neglected extensions can cause breakage and traction hair loss. A trained technician, regular refits and careful brushing keep the risk low.
Tape and ring methods usually need moving up every six to eight weeks. Bonds last a little longer before removal.
Refits, removal and aftercare products are usually charged separately from the first fitting.
