Hair extensions pricing guide
How Much Do Hair Extensions Cost?
Hair extensions have two costs that are easy to blur together: the hair itself and the time to install it. At a luxury salon both are significant, and both depend on your natural hair and how much length and fullness you want to add.
The method you choose, from tape-ins to individual K-tips to hand-tied rows, changes how the hair is purchased, how long installation takes and how often you will return for maintenance.
The StyleTicket difference
StyleTicket asks about your natural hair, the method and the length you want, then prices the installation and the exact amount of hair from a participating luxury salon's pricing.
Why do hair extension prices vary so much?
Extensions are priced in materials and craftsmanship. Here is what moves each.
Method
Tape-ins, K-tip fusion and hand-tied wefts each use different hair formats and installation times.
Amount of hair
Fine hair may need a single row or fewer pieces; very thick hair needs more hair to blend invisibly.
Desired length
Longer extension hair costs more per pack and may require more of it.
Hair brand and texture
Premium human hair lines differ in price, and curly or wavy textures are produced in fewer lines.
Your natural length
Extensions need enough natural hair to hide attachments. Shorter hair may need extra pieces to blend.
Maintenance
Move-ups and re-installs are a recurring part of owning extensions.
Why “starting at” prices don’t tell the whole story
Extension menus often show an installation starting price that does not include hair, or a hair price that does not include installation. Both are accurate, but neither is the whole picture.
StyleTicket puts installation, hair and estimated tax on hair on one ticket, so the total is clear before you commit.
Your hair isn’t a national average.

The StyleTicket Guarantee
A price you can hold us to.
Your extensions price is honored as long as your natural hair matches what you described. If your stylist finds your hair is thicker or shorter, they re-quote from the same chart before installation.

Frequently asked questions
Does the price include the hair?
On a StyleTicket ticket, yes. Installation and the hair are listed separately, along with estimated tax on the hair.
Which extension method costs the least?
It depends on your hair. Tape-ins can be quick to install, while hand-tied and K-tip methods take longer but suit different needs. Your ticket compares based on your hair.
How much hair will I need?
Your thickness and natural length guide the amount. Fine hair needs less; very thick hair needs more to blend.
Can I get extensions if my hair is short?
Your hair generally needs to be at least chin length in the back so the attachments can be hidden.
How often do extensions need maintenance?
Most methods need a move-up or re-install every several weeks, priced separately from the first installation.
What about hair toppers?
Toppers are fitted in person. StyleTicket can place you with a luxury salon experienced with toppers for a complimentary consultation.
