Hair extensions can be added to your own natural hair to add length,
volume, and body. They can also be an easy, non-chemical way to add
highlights or lowlights. Hair extensions can be a one-night change or one
that lasts six months.
How much do hair extensions cost? The price can vary widely, depending on
type of hair and method used. Synthetic hair costs much less than human
hair. Raw or virgin (untreated) human hair costs more than other types of
human hair. For now, though, we will focus on hair extension prices for
different methods.
Clip-Ons
Clip-on hair extensions are a temporary solution, and their price reflects
that. Hair Replacement Centers offer clip-ons from $19.50 to $269 for a
kit.
Hot Fusion or Bonding
In this method, extensions are hot glued to your natural hair. This is the
traditional method, and it costs around $300.
Cold Fusion
This is a new technology that is meant to be gentle on the hair. It costs
from $1,500 to $3,500.
Weave
In this method, hair extensions are braided into the natural hair. This
method costs around $1,200.
There are salons that offer hair extension prices much less than these
listed. Before buying discount hair extensions, however, make sure that
the hairdresser is qualified. He or she should be a licensed cosmetologist
with experience in applying hair extensions. Many hair extension companies
offer certifications in hair extension application. Find out if your
hairdresser is certified. Do not choose a hairdresser based solely on
price -- the cost to your hair could be too great.
