What Do Hair Extensions Cost?
Hair extensions are one of the most common questions we get at Wigs & Warpaint in Sheffield, and the honest answer is: it depends. Price is driven by the method, the length and density you want, and the quality of the hair. As a rough guide, a full head of quality extensions in the UK typically starts from a few hundred pounds and rises with length and fullness. Your exact quote always comes from a free consultation, because every head is different.
What Drives the Price
- Method — tape-ins, LA Weave (micro-ring weft) and bonded systems each take different amounts of hair and time.
- Length & density — longer, thicker results need more hair, which is the biggest single cost factor.
- Hair quality — we use premium brands such as Beauty Works; better hair lasts longer and wears better.
- Maintenance — extensions need moving up or refitting every few weeks to months, so factor in upkeep, not just the first fit.
Methods We Offer
We fit several systems so we can match the right one to your hair and lifestyle. Tape-in extensions are quick to apply and sit flat. LA Weave uses a weft on micro-rings with no heat or glue. Bonded methods give a very secure, long-lasting result. We'll talk you through the differences at your consultation.
Is It Worth It?
Good extensions, fitted properly and looked after, are an investment in length, thickness and confidence that can last for months. The biggest cost mistake is going too cheap on the hair or the fitter, which usually means damage and replacing it sooner.
