How to Price Hair Extensions as a Hairstylist [TIPS ON COST AND HOW TO SCHEDULE FOR PROFIT]

I'm breaking down the cost of hair extensions. Everything from the hair itself, all the way down to the service. So that way it can help bring some clarity on what you should be charging as a hairstylist working behind the chair.
So if you're new to hair extensions, or maybe just started dabbling in hair extensions, and you're still a little confused about exactly what you should be charging, you're going to love this video!

I do the flat rate pricing for extentions too. I don’t like hourly.

[@lauracalder4089]

This is SO helpful!! I’ve also Ben confused with what to charge.. you are the best!

[@MirellaManelli]

I’m so glad this was helpful 💕

[@Spiritualwarfaree]

Thanks I’m been so lost. Losing so much money I was about to quit thinking I could charge more money. 😢 I was so discouraged until I found you

[@alyssaarrisola8252]

So happy you did this video I’m thinking of getting into extensions for the new year so I loved all the details before even diving in! So I can be prepared at the start

[@MirellaManelli]

I’m so glad it was helpful 💖

[@Ddesignshair]

I absolutely loved your video. It made me very confident in a lot of areas but it also allowed me to figure out my weaknesses and most definitely the hours was the worst point, but if they know ahead of time it takes the pressure off completely so thank you for your advice. 🥰

[@MirellaManelli]

You got this! I’m glad you got your wheels turning to improve/adjust to your business ❤️

[@piggysonny]

It’s very amazingly clear, detailed information. Thank you so much.

[@MirellaManelli]

You're very welcome!

[@genoratram8090]

Very well thought out, damned well worth it!

[@MrsJennifer4684]

As always you are amazing! I am getting ready to add extensions to my service offerings and I'm nervous but excited. This was very informative and I appreciate you 🙏 ❤️

[@MirellaManelli]

I'm so happy you found this helpful. Goodluck on extending a new service!

[@divaberry792]

I watched your video and found it extremely educational. My problem is, I had a stylist put in a sew-in hair weeve. Now please know I'm not rich and this person knew it, as I went to her years before for flat iron styles. She did nothing less than a horrible job and chared 500 plus dollars. I paid just at a glance and being tiered headed home. It was for my birthday but when I got home I was horrified. Now she refuses to talk to me after saying she would give me 100 back. There is a more but I'd like to see if you respond. Just wanting advice...... thank you so much. Diva Jonae Berry

I'm new in this. I'm in Italy and I got exactly what I was searching for

[@NeboAllen]

This was super informative, thank you! I have thought about possibly adding extensions to my menu, but chickened out because I had no clue where to start. Where did you get your training for it? And could you please do a video about the different types of extensions and why you would choose that technique over another? Much appreciated!

[@MirellaManelli]

Thank you so much for the suggestion! I've done some of my training from going to classes, videos, but really the best class is practicing techniques and finding what works best for you. I will be teaching a class in May. Sign up for my email list to be notified when class schedule is open.

[@abbie2358]

Thank you so much for making such informative videos (: What is the deep treatment you do during the maintenance/ move up appointment?

[@MirellaManelli]

🥰 a deep treatment would be like a k18 or masque under the dryer and the gloss is a Demi permanent clear or with color for seal and shine.

[@amortable2596]

What a great video! Do you have any videos that explain about how many grams or west for a row you recommend. I have a hard time deciding the amount of hair it just needs to purchase or a full install.

[@MirellaManelli]

Yes I do ! Hope this one helps! How Many Packs of Hair Extensions Do I Need for a Full Head Hair Install #hairextensions kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqTQqWRpqauqnZY

[@ericanicholsthirdgeneratio4865]

Great video! Great information confirmed I’m not too expensive. Question. When u do the move up appointments,do u only replace bead and not the thread? If that is correct do you ever recommend removing it all and reinstalling higher or lower to avoid tension in same area or give that area a rest?

[@MirellaManelli]

If the install is in great condition, I will move up the bead/replace once. Then the next install I remove completely and reinstall.

[@gisellenight699]

Kera links can be reused 1-3 times depending on the quality of extensions & depending on how they are being taken care of, however the price is mainly on the service & expertise, the reason ppl go into solons to get it done is because it's not just extensions being installed it's also blending, hair coloring, also their product knowledge for that individual service & time as well, plus securing a spot someone else would of reserved. Hair extensions are a luxury especially when going into a solon or any beauty establishment even if it's not a hair solon. I've noticed a lot of people who go into businesses that don't see the value are people that can't even do it themselves to begin with. There's a price for everyone & what they can afford & a good solon usually cost more compared to someone that doesn't know what they are doing. No shade to anyone because everything is a learning experience especially if u don't know. Just sharing that's all.🙂

It will be my first time getting hair extensions in my hair my hair is very short above shoulder length what should I do it’s something that I want to do for myself I want to feel good about myself .

[@MichelleCouplandHairStudio]

I did 100% markup, and or $400.00 an hour, for color correction and the cut. I also had a goody bag to include retail, and a maintenance appointment

[@gh8519]

In each row how many weft could be hi beautiful! for the price of $175 , some times there is 2 or 3 weft in one row is that $175 as well ? If u can’t fit the hand tiedweft u can’t cut them right , how would u fit it ?

[@MirellaManelli]

I do $175 no matter if I add 1 or 3 wefts to one row. Generally clients want me to color them, so that's where the price would vary. I don't use hand tied but hybrid wefts from Donna Bella. That way they are thin but you can cut them.

[@user-mw6cb4kx2i]

How much will it cost me too get this done I want too look beautiful at the same time

[@laura-lynrodriguez1992]

What will you charge to remove ktips ? Anyone please advise 😊

[@zoehamilton9993]

How do you feel about DonnaBella selling at Sally’s beauty supply

[@MirellaManelli]

They are selling clipins only. However I’m never threatened by easily accessible pro products because I educate my clients before and during the service, making it an easy sell.

[@All.textures.stylist]

How long does it take to do one sew-in weft?

[@MirellaManelli]

about and hour and a half including blending and styling.

[@TheAngelsweetz]

So,what would be the overall total? I've never had extensions?

More money than I could afford

What do you charge for I-link extensions full n parcial?

[@MirellaManelli]

I charge $100 a pack. Most full installs require 6-8 packs, so $600-$800. Same goes for a partial.

Uhhhh... this is SICKING! Donna Bella extensions shipping are FREE. Donna Bella hair insurance is 15% off the hair. That's $75 on $500 hair! Credit card processing on $500 is $15 Thread and beads...comeeee onnnn. Where are you getting yours?? Because for an ENTIRE HEAD..thats maybeeeeee$25 So you are charging the client $250 for the $115. $175 a row... HOW SLOW ARE YOU!! SERIOUSLY. 🤮🤮🤮

[@MirellaManelli]

I think you meant... HOW SUCCESSFUL ARE YOU? 🤑 HOW BUSINESS SAVVY ARE YOU? 💡 HOW SMART ARE YOU FOR SECURING YOUR TIME EVEN IF THEY DON'T SHOW UP FOR THE APPOINTMENT? Let me know when you catch up.... my guess is you're not a hairstylist or a business owner. So why are you here?

[@user-mw6cb4kx2i]

I DON’T WANT THEM TOO THICK NOR TOO THIN I ALSO WANT BEADS IN MY EXTENTIONS .

[@terriehurst8499]

Well I just learned what a person will charge a client for extensions. How ridiculous. What a markup you’re getting.

[@CajunFire985]

Yeah no, thank you! And my aunt is a hairstylist and owns her salon and would agree that she would never set foot in your salon! First is your prices are absolutely ridiculous, secondly your not even using the highest quality extensions and lastly, you commented on raising prices and losing clients like oh that's okay! You sound like your after nothing but money! Hair is an art and a passion, not a profession to just make money and regard clients like they are money bags! Very disappointing as a professional...

[@MirellaManelli]

Yeah no… this video is not for you. I run a million dollar salon with a successful team of 12 who know how to run a business. I’m pretty sure your aunt would be begging me to help her with her business with the wealth of knowledge I have. My team does hair not only because they love it, but because they know how to make a living. We work because of money. If clients don’t see the value in what we do, it’s ok to not take them as a client. We screen clients before we take them to be sure we’re a good fit for each other. In regards to your comment about hair is an art and passion and not about making money: this is the reason women in this industry are not valued and being a hairstylist is a devalued profession. I’m here to change that and I make these videos for those who aspire to make a successful living. Not just live paycheck to paycheck. It’s disappointing to still see people comment this ESPECIALLY coming from a woman. Maybe what you should do is continue to get your hair done with your aunt, make her do it for free because you think she owes you her time, and stay off business advice hair videos since you’re not a hairstylist and haven’t taken a business class. I hope you find happiness and peace in your life 💙

[@renehill3351]

Nicole..what happened to you that made you such a bitch..? You are a nasty young woman and I suggest you seek help exponentially. Your comment is ridiculous only not only shows your overall immaturity in life but also just how unhappy you must be. For your sake I really hope you get help. Hair is an art and a passion and when you decide to do it for a living its also A JOB. You have a lot of growing up to do. Get help now why'll your still young...from your comment it seems like you have quite a bit of work to do. Save the money you should be spending on your hair that your aunt probably does for free and use that to find a therapist that is qualified to help you work through whatever issues is causing you to be so unhappy. You really seem miserable.

[@missparadise879]

I'm holding my head in my hand. Did you really say it's not a profession to just make money? I'd love to see a link to your aunt's salon and social media. My bills alone for salon mortgage, utilities, building insurance, business insurance, workman's comp, UI insurance, employees pay, retail, back bar, supplies, tools, building upkeep, self employment taxes, payroll, accountant, continuing education classes annually, and much much more. I'm sure as a grown adult professional you already know a mortgage or rent is easily anywhere from $1800 to $5,000 a month depending on how classy a place you want. (Not your home MTG that you still have to pay too) That's just that. Add in the thousands on all the other items. Oh, and btw, as an owner you don't get health insurance or retirement plan. You have to pay for that yourself!! Unless they are being trashy by not claiming money and getting state health. Average here is $1200/mo just for 1 person health ins. never mind a family plan. Oh wait, safety paying for all of that... You still haven't paid yourself!!!! Now add that. Expensive for you, isn't expensive for someone who wants it all; ambiance, skills, great product, assurance and to be treated like class. We have a certain clientele who also make good money and understand the cost of business. People without a successful one wouldn't understand. I'll be waiting for those links ;)

[@beebertaylor9816]

Omg is this women serious. We work to make money to pay our bills. It is a career just like any other that is done to support our family. As a women you should be supporting businesses owned by women. You attacking the original poster says more about you and how you value yourself. And I hope you are at least supporting your aunt by paying full price for your services.
