Every appointment is quoted for the person in the chair. What you pay depends on your natural density, the length you choose, and how much hair it takes to get the look you want — so the honest answer is a range, not a single number. Below is everything that goes into it, so you can work out where you would land before you ever call.
Hair extensions are not one size fits all, so I don't price them that way. One Natural Beaded Rows client needs only three wefts. Another needs nine to twelve in a longer length. Charging them both the same flat fee would mean one of them is paying for hair she never got.
The same holds for everything else in the salon. If your hair needs color to blend with your extensions, you are charged for color. If it doesn't, you aren't. Haircuts, smoothing treatments, color — you pay for what your hair actually needs, and nothing it doesn't.
Averages, not quotes — a starting point while you read the rest of this page.
Your own number can land well above or well below these. Four things decide it: the look you are going for, the length of hair you choose, how much hair it takes to get there, and which services your hair needs along the way. Two women can book the same method and pay very different amounts, and neither number is wrong.
Your first appointment buys the hair as well as the service, which is why it is the largest. Later appointments are mostly labor. CombLine spans the widest range because some clients start with a single weft in a 30-minute visit, which comes to about $280.
Wefts sewn onto a discreet row
Every row holds somewhere between three and five wefts, and wefts are priced individually — so the prices above are per weft, not per row. Some clients need only three wefts in total; others need nine to twelve, especially in a longer length.
At your consultation we will talk through how many rows I believe your hair needs and roughly how many wefts each row will take, so you have a real sense of what your appointment will cost before you book it.
The hair is not a repeat purchase at every visit. The same wefts are reused each time your rows are tightened, so what you spend on hair at your first appointment is spread across everything that follows.
How long yours last comes down to how you wash, brush and heat-style them, and to your everyday lifestyle. Someone in a chlorinated pool every day will need her hair replaced much sooner than someone whose hair only gets wet in the shower once or twice a week. I will walk you through all of it at your install.
The installation fee does not include hair color on your natural hair. If your hair needs color to blend with your extensions, that is a separate service — see Color, Cutting & Styling below. A full install with color is six to seven hours in the chair.
What you come back for every six to ten weeks.
Removal is charged in 15-minute increments, not by the hour. Most rows come out in 15 minutes or less, so the average client pays a single increment rather than a full hour.
Eight weeks is the average, but the schedule is built around your hair rather than a calendar.
After your initial install I usually ask you back at six weeks, simply to confirm everything is settling the way we want it to. If you are losing hair from hormones or another cause, I may want to see you closer to five or six weeks so we can be certain the extensions are not putting stress on your natural hair.
Some clients comfortably go nine or ten weeks. It comes down to your texture, your density, and how your rows feel to you as they loosen.
Optional. Only if you want more hair, less hair, or a different tone partway through.
Your rows are not fixed at your first install. At any appointment we can add wefts if you want more hair, or take wefts out if you want less. Plenty of clients change their minds once they have lived with their extensions for a few months, and that is completely normal.
A row rebuild is what makes that possible. To change the amount of hair in a row, the row has to be opened up and sewn back together — that is the rebuild, and it is a flat fee: $75 for one row, $150 for two, $225 for three. Any new wefts you add are on top of that, at the weft prices listed earlier.
Color work on wefts is $75, and it is color applied to the extension hair itself rather than to your own hair — a toner, a root shadow, or a shift in tone so your wefts keep matching you as your natural color changes through the year.
None of this has to be decided in advance. Tell me what you have in mind when you book and I will price it out for you before we start.
Individual keratin-bond strands, placed one at a time
Hair is sold by the bag and priced individually — so the prices above are per bag, and almost everyone needs more than one.
What K-tip prepping is: before some installs the bonds have to be cut down to the size that matches your density, and the hair may need color work so it blends with yours. That prep time is billed at $150 an hour. Some clients need it and some do not — I will tell you which at your consultation.
At your consultation we will talk through how many bags I expect your hair to take and whether any prepping is needed, so you have a real sense of what your appointment will cost before you book it.
Re-bonding is done in house, so hair in good condition can be reused — though re-bonded strands sit slightly shorter than new ones, and most clients add some new hair each time. There needs to be at least 24 hours between removal and reinstalling.
The lightest method — no beads, no thread
CombLine does not have to be a full head. Some clients come in for a single weft — one 18" weft in a 30-minute appointment is about $280 all in, hair and installation together.
Others want full coverage and more length, which is where the $1,200 end of the range comes from. Weft prices are each, so what you spend is simply a matter of how many you want.
Appointments are short — usually about an hour. Color on your natural hair is a separate service.
CombLine sheds out gradually rather than growing out, so most clients come back between four and eight weeks. If you already own hair in good condition — including hair left over from an earlier appointment — a top-up can be as little as 30 minutes.
A + means the price starts there and can go up, depending on how long your appointment runs and how much product your hair takes. Longer or denser hair uses more color, and that is charged for honestly rather than averaged into a flat fee.
Hair extension blow dries are a service in their own right, available whether or not you have another appointment that day, and for any method — Natural Beaded Rows, K-tip or CombLine. Extension hair behaves differently from your own, and a blow dry done with that in mind is what makes it sit and move the way it did the day it went in.
Haircut removing length from extensions is for a follow-up visit rather than your install. After an initial install or a tightening, some clients live with the new length for a while and decide they would like a little more taken off. Please arrive with clean, dry hair — this service does not include a shampoo or blow dry.
Color and cutting are charged only if your hair needs them. They are never bundled into an extension price.
How much product your hair takes depends on its length and density, which is why the treatment price starts at $350 rather than sitting at it.
The in-salon consultation is credited toward your deposit if you book an extension service that day. Every consultation starts with the application and a few photos of your current hair — that is what makes a real number possible instead of a guess.
A deposit comes off your total rather than being charged on top of it. Arriving more than 30 minutes late is treated as a no-show if the service can no longer be performed.
One more thing worth knowing: you are the only client in the salon. Shannon does every part of your service herself — sectioning, color, the cut, choosing your hair — with no assistants and no double-booking. Part of what these appointments cost is that nobody is being rushed.
