• there are different hair qualities such as synthetic hair which is the cheapest, human hair which is the most popular hair quality, and remy hair which is the most high-end hair quality

Price of hair extensions will depend a lot on whether you’re going to get them installed or not

As seen in the chart above on how much do hair extensions cost in Canada, there are 2 types of hair extensions: temporary extensions and permanent extensions.

Temporary extensions mean you can apply and remove them yourself at home, easily & safely. In short, you don’t need to have a hairstylist install them for you. You can do it yourself without any help, and that results in a more affordable hair extension experience. Examples of temporary extensions are clip-in extensions, invisible wire extensions, ponytail extensions, and hair toppers extensions. All these temporary extensions were designed so that you install them yourself at home, and you can as easily remove them. No hairstylists needed! Perfect for those who wish to wear hair extensions at reasonable cost and with no commitment.

On the other hand, if you wish to wear extensions on a somewhat permanent basis (for a few weeks to a few months), permanent extensions are the ones you need. These are the extensions that stay in your hair 24/7,  you basically sleep with them because they’re installed on your head in a way that it will last a few weeks to a few months. Permanent extensions will have to be installed by a professional hairstylists. Ideally, that hairstylists has training and experience installing them. Automatically, this results in a more expensive hair extension experience because you need to pay somebody to install them for you! Of course, some of you will want to try installing permanent extensions on your own at home, and we strongly discourage you from doing so!

Hair extensions will give you longer and fuller hair in no time, but as they are a sort of investment you need to make smart decisions.

Here’s our take: if you never had extensions before, go with the temporary ones. It’s a safe move and you won’t have to bother searching around for a hairstylist to install the extensions for you. Since you never had extensions before, don’t try to do everything at once. Start with the basics such as clip-in extensions or invisible wire extensions. These 2 types of temporary extensions are truly stress-free hair extensions because of how easy they are to apply and remove. The cost of hair extensions for clip-ins and invisible wire extensions are also quite cheap. Indeed, looking at the price of clip-in hair extensions and the price of invisible wire hair extensions, we can see that the cost starts at only $75.

Price of hair extensions depends on where you’re buying them from

First of all, keep in mind that hair extensions sold in stores and in hair salons are generally more expensive than online. Unsurprisingly, it’s a lot more expensive to run a conventional business with a physical location opened to the public versus running an e-commerce website. As a result, this tends to inflate the price of hair extensions. So if you wish to purchase hair extensions and you’re wondering how much do extensions cost, you’re more likely to get better deals when shopping hair online. Secondly, the prices of hair extensions vary from one hair extension brand to another. This doesn’t always mean that pricier hair extensions are of better hair quality, this is untrue and a myth. The best hair extensions are usually the ones with lot of genuine positive customers reviews about the extensions.

The price of hair extensions can also depend on the following factors:

1. The quality of the hair
2. The type of extensions
3. The length and color of the hair

The price of hair extensions will vary with:

Hair extensions quality

If you browse the internet for hair extensions, you will quickly notice how much the price of hair extensions vary from one place to another. What the heck is going on? There is a simple reason why this is the case: there are hundreds of qualities of hair extensions.

Actually, let us rephrase that: there are THOUSANDS of qualities of hair extensions.

Therefore, most retailers will settle with only 1 or 2 qualities.

This is why you will see sellers on eBay, Amazon, or Alibaba offering supposedly 100% human hair for… $20. And on the other hand, you have hair extensions stores offering extensions at hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

In all honesty, you don’t want to buy cheap hair extensions that look like Barbie’s hair. It may be tempting, especially with a price tag of $20 and free shipping. But that’s just wasting $20… you will look ridiculous wearing $20 extensions.

If you can afford premium quality hair extensions, then go for it. Many celebrities spend thousands of dollars for quality hair extensions.

But what about quality affordable hair extensions? Is that possible?

Believe it or not, it wasn’t possible not too long ago. Indeed, hair extensions used to be really expensive. People would go broke just to have long and full hair.

Thankfully, things have changed.

Micro loop and fusion hair extensions are in the middle. Just like tape in extensions, you can wear them on 24/7 and the total cost will be less than tape in extensions. But, they are not the best extensions if you have thin hair.

Hair wefts / sew-in extensions are great too, but you may have a difficult time finding someone who can install these extensions correctly.
