These factors can get you closer to knowing the potential cost for your dream hair.

Additional Costs to Consider

When budgeting for a hair weave, it’s important to factor in additional expenses that may arise:

If you’re on a budget but still want a quality weave, consider these tips:

  • Opt for Synthetic or Blended Hair: While not as durable as human hair, synthetic options can be more affordable and still provide a stunning look.
  • DIY Installation: Learning to install clip-in or even sew-in weaves yourself can save you hundreds of dollars in installation fees.
  • Shop Sales: Look out for discounts or promotions from trusted brands like SISHAIR to get high-quality weaves at a lower price.
  • Choose Shorter Lengths: Shorter weaves are less expensive, and you can still achieve a stylish look without paying a premium for extra length.

6 How Much Do Hair Extensions Cost?

The average price of hair extensions is about $80. You can get hair for as low as $30, assuming weight or length is not an issue. It is by thousands of our clients. Most women will buy 20″ length hair extensions weighing 100 – 150g.

Here is the current price list (source: AiryHair) for strand by strand extensions:

16” (40 cm) (40g) – $28.93
16” (40 cm) (80g) – $44.30
16” (40 cm) (100g) – $49.18
18” (45 cm) (50g) – $35.85
18” (45 cm) (80g) – $45.11
18” (45 cm) (100g) – $51.13
20” (50 cm) (50g) – $37.90
20” (50 cm) (70g) – $43.33
20” (50 cm) (100g) – $54.06
22” (55 cm) (50g) – $39.95
22” (55 cm) (80g) – $51.78
22” (55 cm) (100g) – $59.26
24” (55 cm) (70g) – $53.89
24” (55 cm) (100g) – $63.00
24” (55 cm) (140g) – $77.15
26” (60 cm) (50g) – $45.69

The profit margin is no more than 5% on any of these; 3% is the average. This business does not create millionaires unless you build a global brand and sell the same hair quality for twice or four times the price. I’m sure you’ve heard of all these big brands by now.

Conclusion

If you find the prices of hair extensions way over your budget range, then you may consider using clip-ons, the cheapest alternative. You can easily attach this hair extension yourself using the built-in clip of the hair extension.
