How much do hair extensions cost?

How much do hair extensions cost — high-quality real-hair wefts in warm blonde tones held over the hand, hairdresser Vienna

In short: a proper hair extension starts with us from €250 — open-ended upwards, depending on hair quantity, length and quality. Why the range is so wide, and how to spot a fair offer, you'll read here.

What the price depends on

1. The hair itself

The biggest cost factor is the real hair: length, quantity (grams) and quality determine the price. High-quality real hair falls more naturally, can be styled like your own and lasts considerably longer than cheap stock — skimping here soon backfires.

2. The desired effect

More volume needs less material than a full extension of 20+ cm. That's why the consultation matters so much: we work out precisely what quantity your desired result needs — no more and no less.

3. The fitting

Precise, strand-by-strand fitting takes time and experience. In return the result sits invisibly, doesn't pull and doesn't damage your own hair.

Wear time: what you can expect

Depending on the method and hair growth, extensions are moved up roughly every 6–8 weeks, as they grow out with your hair. The real hair itself you can wear across several applications with good care — that too belongs in an honest cost calculation.

Care plays its part

  • Mild, low-sulphate shampoo — wash the roots gently, without rubbing
  • Extensions brush and gentle daily brushing through from bottom to top
  • At night: a loose plait — prevents matting in your sleep
  • Heat protection when styling, just as with your own hair

How to recognise a reputable offer

A fixed all-in price after a personal consultation (not a blanket figure over the phone), transparent details on hair quality and quantity, and an honest word if your wish doesn't suit your hair. That's exactly how we do it on our hair extensions page and in the salon.

Salon tip: Come to the free consultation with your inspiration photo. We check your hair, work out the exact price for you — and you decide at your leisure.

The hidden costs you should ask about

The fitting price is only half the bill. So you can really compare offers, always ask about the follow-up costs:

  • Moving-up: due every 6–8 weeks — what does the appointment cost, and is the removal included?
  • Reusing the hair: can the real hair be refitted when moving up, or do you pay for new material each time?
  • Care products: sulphate-free shampoo and an extensions brush — a one-off but real purchase.
  • Removal: the professional removal at the end should be priced in too.

When the investment really pays off

Extensions are worth the money when they suit your everyday life: you should be willing to keep up the care routine (gentle brushing, tying up at night, heat protection) — then you'll wear full, long hair for months that styles just like your own. Anyone who only needs volume for a single occasion is often better off, and cheaper, with a professional updo. In the consultation we honestly work through both routes with you.

Conclusion: compare total cost, not the loss-leader price

An honest price comparison for hair extensions covers four items: the initial fitting, moving-up every 6–8 weeks, care products and the later removal. A seemingly cheap entry point with expensive follow-up appointments almost never beats a fair all-in package over the course of a year.

That's why in the free consultation we work through everything openly with you — including the question of whether extensions are even the best solution for your occasion. Sometimes, after all, the honest answer is: a good cut and an updo.
