Costs

Your first question when you start looking at hair extensions will probably be, “Why do they cost so much?”

The answer to that is very simple. Hair extensions are a time-intensive, tedious service and the supplies needed for quality extensions are expensive.

Demand

As more and more women rush to the salon to get hair extensions, the supply of good quality human hair becomes less. This of course will drive up the price for hair extension services.

Time-Intensive

A lot of the hair extension methods require several hours to attach a full head, around 3-5 hours. There is a direct relationship between prices and the time it takes to attach the extensions. The more time it takes, the higher the price. The stylist cannot schedule any other clients during that time. Plus, the stylist has invested a good amount of money to be trained and/or certified for hair extensions.

There are new and improved methods of hair extension that require a lot less time to attach. So, your first thought may be, If it takes less time, it should be less expensive. Eventually, these faster methods will be less expensive. But right now, the stylist has to invest a lot of money for the new and improved machine or tool required.

Location:

There is also the factor of location. Getting hair extensions in a big city at a popular salon will cost you much more, sometimes double, that what you will pay in at a small town salon. This of course is related to operating expenses. The big city salon has much higher expenses to cover and will need to charge much more for extensions.
