How Much Do Hair Extensions Cost?

How Much Do Hair Extensions Cost? A Complete Guide

When it comes to hair extensions, the price range can be overwhelming—anywhere from as little as $50 for temporary, do-it-yourself clip-ins to over $4,000 for high-end, professionally installed permanent extensions. The truth is, the cost depends on several factors: the method of installation, the quality of the hair, and the maintenance required to keep them looking their best.
‍

If you’ve ever wondered what goes into the cost of extensions and how to choose the right option for your lifestyle, this guide breaks it all down—so you can invest in your dream hair with confidence.

Clip-In Hair Extensions: Affordable, DIY Options

Clip-in extensions are one of the most budget-friendly ways to add instant length or volume.
‍

• Price Range: $50–$400+
• Longevity: 3–12 months (with proper care)
• Application: Do-it-yourself (DIY)

These extensions are perfect for anyone wanting flexibility without the commitment of salon visits. You can clip them in for special occasions or daily wear and remove them at night. However, while clip-ins are convenient and cost-effective, they won’t give you the same seamless, natural look or lasting results as professionally installed methods.

Halo Extensions: Simple, No-Commitment Luxury

Halo extensions are another fantastic option for those who want fuller, longer hair without permanent installation. A Halo is a single weft of hair attached to an invisible wire that sits comfortably on your head, almost like a headband.

‍

• Price Range: $100–$500+
• Longevity: 6–12 months (with proper care)
• Application: Do-it-yourself (DIY)

‍

At Studio One, we sell and color-match Halo extensions right in the salon, ensuring you leave with a perfect blend to your natural hair. They’re quick to apply, easy to remove, and ideal for special events or everyday wear when you want instant transformation without salon appointments.

Beaded Row Extensions: Luxury, Natural-Looking Results

At Studio One, we specialize in beaded row extensions using hand-tied and Genius Wefts. Unlike traditional sew-in weaves that use braids, our method attaches lightweight wefts of hair to your natural hair with small beads. This creates a secure foundation without tight braiding or excess tension on the scalp.
‍

• Price Range: $200–$3,000+
• Longevity: 6–8 weeks per application (wefts can be reused with proper care)
• Application: Professional only

Beaded rows are highly customizable and blend seamlessly with your natural hair. They are also gentler and more comfortable than many other methods. Because we use premium hand-tied and Genius Wefts, you’ll enjoy hair that looks natural, feels lightweight, and lasts longer with proper maintenance.

Hair Quality: Why It’s the Biggest Cost Factor

Not all hair extensions are created equal. The quality of the hair you choose has a major impact on both cost and appearance.
‍

• Synthetic Hair: The most affordable option, but it cannot be heat-styled and has a shorter lifespan.
• Blended Hair: A mix of synthetic and human hair, offering moderate quality at a mid-range price.
• 100% Remy Human Hair: The gold standard in extensions. Remy hair keeps the cuticle intact, which reduces tangling, creates a natural look, and ensures the extensions last longer.

At Studio One, we only use professional-grade wefts designed to give you the best possible results. This ensures your investment lasts, looks natural, and blends beautifully with your own hair.

Maintenance Costs: The Hidden Investment

Semi-permanent and permanent extensions require ongoing salon visits as your natural hair grows. Touch-up or move-up appointments typically fall within these ranges:
‍

• Cost per visit: $50–$200
• Frequency: Every 6–8 weeks, depending on hair growth and the method used

These visits are essential to keep your extensions secure, comfortable, and looking their best. Regular maintenance also protects your natural hair and extends the life of your wefts. Skipping these appointments can lead to unnecessary damage, while staying on schedule helps you get the most out of your investment.
