How Much Are Hair Extensions? Key Factors Affecting the Cost

how-much-are-hair-extensions

If you are sourcing hair extensions for a salon, hair shop, or private-label business, the price depends on the exact product you want to sell. At GreatHair, our factory price for a 100g bundle of natural-color Virgin SDD machine weft is $19.30 at 8 inches, $46.60 at 20 inches, and $95.70 at 30 inches for US/UK wholesale orders.

That is the product price before shipping, import charges, taxes, or salon services. Length is only one part of the quote. Hair grade, color, curl pattern, extension construction, and order quantity can also change your cost. We recommend comparing products by the same specifications rather than choosing a supplier based on one headline price.

What does our factory price cover?

Our price starts with a defined product specification. For example, the 20-inch price in this article refers to a 100g bundle of natural-color Virgin SDD machine weft. A different weight, color, fullness grade, or finished extension method may have a different price.

When you ask us for a quote, include the details that define the product:

  • Hair type and fullness grade
  • Length and weight per bundle
  • Natural or processed color
  • Straight or specified curl pattern
  • Construction, such as machine weft, tape, or tip
  • Order quantity and destination market

The factory price is not the same as a stylist’s installed price or a reseller’s final landed cost. Your business may also need to account for shipping, payment fees, import duties, local taxes, packaging, fulfillment, and customer support.

We also offer a $90 promotional test combo weighing 0.15kg. It includes 50g each of 20-inch Virgin SDD tape, weft, and tip. Because this is a three-format promotion, it should not be used as the standard price for one 100g product.

Six factors that affect how much hair extensions cost

1. Length changes the cost

Longer hair has a higher factory price in our range. A 100g natural-color Virgin SDD machine weft is $19.30 at 8 inches, $46.60 at 20 inches, and $95.70 at 30 inches.

For a reseller, this means each length should have its own cost and selling price. Avoid using one average bundle cost for an entire collection. If your customers mainly ask for mid-length styles, build your first order around those lengths before committing too much stock to longer options.

2. Fullness grade affects the quote

At 20 inches, our 100g Virgin machine weft is $42.40 for DD, $46.60 for SDD, and $51.10 for SDD Plus. Moving from DD to SDD adds $4.20 per bundle; SDD Plus is $4.50 more than SDD.

The right grade depends on the finished look your customers expect. For women who wear textured styles, fullness through the ends can be as important as length. A bundle that looks fine on a product card may not deliver the volume or blend a customer wants once it is installed. When you plan an assortment, decide whether your market is looking for a lighter everyday finish or fuller ends before choosing the grade.

3. Color and curl pattern change the price

For 20-inch SDD machine weft, our natural-color price is $46.60, brown tone is $49.60, and light tone is $64.40. We also list a $3 add-on for brown, piano, or ombre “hot color.” Light-tone products have their own listed price, so we quote them by the requested shade instead of estimating them with the brown-color add-on.

Texture needs equally clear wording. Our pricing includes a $2 charge for specified curl patterns such as Kinky Curly, Deep Curly, Deep Wave, Water Curly, Burmese Curly, and Jerry Curly. If you are developing a collection for textured-hair customers, tell us the specific pattern you need. “Curly” can describe several different finishes, and clear specifications help us quote and prepare the correct product.

4. The extension method adds construction cost

A machine weft, tape-in, and tip product are different finished formats. Our factory price for the 20-inch SDD base weft is $46.60 per 100g. Our listed tape and tip construction add $8, making the calculated price $54.60 for each format.

Other constructions use different formulas. For example, our 20-inch SDD Genius weft calculation is $63.93. For invisible tape or seamless clip-in, the formula uses the 22-inch weft price and comes to $84.70. When you want a finished product, ask us to quote that specific construction rather than applying the base weft price to another format.

5. Order quantity can reduce the product cost

Our US/UK wholesale pricing includes volume discounts based on order weight:

  • 1–4.9kg — 2%
  • 5–19.9kg — 4%
  • 20–49.9kg — 6%
  • 50–99.9kg — 8%
  • 100kg and above — 10%

A larger order can reduce the product cost, but the discount only helps if the stock matches what your customers buy. We encourage new buyers to plan quantities around their likely sell-through, including the lengths, shades, and extension methods they expect to reorder.

6. Factory price is not your customer’s final price

Our factory quote gives you the product cost. Your retail or salon price is a separate business decision. You may need to include delivery, import costs, packaging, marketing, fulfillment, customer support, and your margin. Salons may also include fitting and maintenance services in the price they give their clients.

In my work with salon and wholesale buyers at GreatHair, I often see people compare only the cost of one bundle. That can hide important differences. A more useful comparison is between complete SKUs with the same length, weight, grade, shade, texture, and construction.

A wholesale order example

A common question I work through with resellers is how a listed price translates into an opening order. Suppose you want 1kg of 20-inch natural-color Virgin SDD machine weft. At 100g per bundle, that is ten bundles. At our price of $46.60 each, the product total is $466 before discount and other charges.

An order of 1kg falls into our 1–4.9kg tier, which receives a 2% discount. That reduces the calculated hair total by $9.32, to $456.68 before shipping, import duties, taxes, or other applicable fees.

If you choose brown-tone SDD instead, the 20-inch price is $49.60 per 100g. Light-tone SDD is $64.40. If you also need tape, tips, or another construction, the product calculation changes again. This is why we ask for the full specification before confirming an order: it gives you a reliable cost basis for setting your own selling price.
