We don’t offer a “budget line” with different hair. Savings come from how you put your order together. Here is how much each lever makes a difference.
The price levers, sorted by impact
| Price lever | What it costs | How to save |
|---|---|---|
| Length | biggest cost factor: 40 cm 184,33 €, 100 cm 518,64 €, 130 cm 807,15 € (Bondings, 100 g) | only choose the length that is actually needed on your body, see the length preview |
| Quantity | 100 g is the starting point, each step up costs accordingly | Volume usually needs 100 to 125 g, not 200 g; the quantity table helps |
| Ends density | 50% at no extra charge, 80% +19%, 95 to 100% +38% | 50% suits most hair; more density is worthwhile mainly for very long lengths and strong natural hair, see Ends density |
| Texture | straight at no extra charge, slightly wavy +4% to curly +20% | order straight and curl it yourself if waves are only wanted occasionally |
| Strand thickness (Bondings) | from 1.0 g at no extra charge, 0.3 g +6% | choose fine strands only if your natural hair needs them |
| Clip-in type | standard Clip-Ins base price, Invisible +12%, Seamless and U +10% | standard Clip-Ins are enough if there is enough covering hair over the clips |
| Wig | machine-made base price, hand-knotted +25%, HD Mesh +4%, HD Lace +8% | machine-made for a fixed hairstyle, hand-knotted only if the parting is visible |
Available immediately: stock items with no production time
In the category Available immediately you’ll find ready-made sets that ship within 1 to 3 working days. If you are flexible on colour and length, this is often the fastest and simplest solution. Stock items are sometimes reduced in price; you can see whether a promotion is running from the crossed-out price directly on the product. For stock items the standard 14-day right of withdrawal applies, but not for custom-made items.
What does not get cheaper with us: the hair
All methods are made from 100% human hair from Vietnam, and every order is made to measure. There is no second, cheaper hair quality for an entry-level price. How to recognise good hair is explained in Human hair quality: Remy, ends density and 5 tests. The difference to offers on marketplaces lies exactly there.
Factor in follow-up costs
The hair price is one half, the work at the salon is the other. Bondings are moved up every 8 to 12 weeks, Tapes are re-taped every 4 to 8 weeks, Wefts are re-sewn every 6 to 8 weeks. With good care, the hair itself lasts 1 to 2 years and is reused in the process. Clip-Ins have no follow-up costs because you insert them yourself. Three worked examples including salon costs can be found in What do extensions cost?.
Pay in instalments or on invoice
If you prefer to split the amount, you can pay in instalments via Klarna or on invoice. Details: Pay for extensions on invoice or in instalments. Hairdressers and salons receive their own trade prices.
All methods with a live price in the configurator are available in the shop under Buy real hair extensions.
