Extensions in Berlin
Extensions in Berlin: partner salon, methods and what the work costs
In short: EchtHaar Direkt is a purely online shop based in Ludwigsburg, with no retail store and no salon of its own. Made-to-measure real hair extensions, wigs and toppers are made after you order (10 to 14 working days, 12 to 16 with a custom colour, stock items in 1 to 3 working days) and delivered to Berlin free of shipping charges. They are fitted by a hairdresser near you: you can find hairdressers who fit our hair in the stylist search, and salons can register via the partner programme.
Berlin has hundreds of salons that offer extensions. The difference isn’t the price, but who applies them cleanly and who protects your natural hair in the process.
If you’re looking for extensions in Berlin, you’ll mainly find one thing: a huge number of offers and very large price differences. Prices range from a 99 euro all-inclusive price to 600 euros, and an ad rarely reveals what’s actually included. This page separates the two cost blocks clearly, names the Berlin partner stylist who works with our hair, and tells you what to pay attention to at your first appointment.

What to expect in Berlin
Our Berlin partner is Aschenputtel SFH. Their focus there is on wefts of all kinds and bondings of all kinds, which are exactly the two techniques where hands-on experience matters most. Wefts don’t forgive an imprecise fit, and bondings don’t forgive the wrong strand thickness.
For you, this means you can go either way there. If your natural hair is fine and you don’t want visible attachment points, wefts or thin bondings are the calmer choice. If you want a lot of length and your hair can carry it, bondings in a small strand thickness are the more durable solution. What suits you is decided on your head, not over the phone.
What extensions cost in Berlin
Every final price consists of two parts that have nothing to do with each other: the work in the salon and the hair. Anyone who lumps both into one number is usually hiding one of the two items.
| Service in the salon | Typical range in Germany |
|---|---|
| Applying bondings, full set | 150 to 300 euros |
| Applying tape extensions | 120 to 220 euros |
| Sewing in wefts | 80 to 160 euros |
| Moving up, renewing bondings | 100 to 200 euros |
| Removal | 0.30 to 0.60 euros per strand |
In Berlin, the pure labor prices are on average somewhat higher than the national average, especially in the central districts. That’s normal, because rent and hourly rates factor into the calculation. Caution is more advisable with conspicuously cheap all-inclusive offers: these almost always contain either very little hair or low-quality hair that tangles after a few washes.
The second block is the hair. It is calculated by length, amount, texture and strand thickness, and you can see the price live in the configurator before you order. How many grams make sense for your hair density is explained in detail in the amount guide. You can work through your own combination live in the cost calculator.
Bring your own hair or order through the salon
There are two clean ways, and both work. Either you order your human hair yourself and bring it to the appointment, or you have the salon handle it. The difference isn’t the price, but who sets the specification.
If you bring it yourself, you determine length, amount, texture, strand thickness and color in the configurator and know exactly what you’re getting in advance. If it goes through the salon, your stylist takes over the selection and includes the hair in her price. For the first appointment, the second route is often more relaxed; from the second set onward, most people know exactly what they want.
What you should never do: mix hair from two different sources. Different origins mean different behavior when washed, and you’ll notice it at the ends by the third wash at the latest.
How your first appointment works
1. Determine the color
On your own hair, in daylight, ideally with a color ring. Photos and screens almost always shift the tone. Only once the color is settled is it ordered.
2. Set the amount and method
The amount depends on your natural hair density and desired length, the method on hair structure and everyday life. Both belong in the consultation, not in the order form.
3. Configure and order the hair
You set the length, amount, texture, strand thickness and color yourself. Custom orders and requested colors need production time, which should be factored into your appointment planning.
4. Book the appointment and have it applied
Plan three to five hours for a full set of bondings, and one to two hours for wefts. Do not wash for 48 hours after application.
5. Move up after eight to twelve weeks
The attachment migrates downward as your hair grows and needs to be renewed. If you wait too long, you’ll get tangles at the roots.

Frequently asked questions about extensions in Berlin
What do extensions cost in Berlin in total?
Plan for two cost items. The labor at a salon in Berlin usually ranges from 150 to 300 euros, depending on the method and the amount of hair. On top of that comes the hair itself, which is priced by length, quantity and texture. If someone gives you a single figure over the phone without knowing your hair length, they are guessing.
Is there a salon in Berlin that works with EchtHaar Direkt?
Yes, Aschenputtel SFH. You will find the profile with the methods offered and the appointment request at the top of this page.
Can I order my hair online beforehand and bring it to my appointment?
Yes. Many people do exactly that, because it lets them choose the length, quantity, texture and color themselves. The order matters, though: first clarify the color, then order, then book the appointment. Custom orders need production time.
How long does an appointment take?
For a full set of bondings, plan on three to five hours; for wefts, one to two hours. Moving extensions up takes about as long as the first application, because the old bonds have to be removed first.
What is the most common mistake at a first appointment in a big city?
Choosing based only on price. A strand spacing that is too wide or strands that are too heavy only become noticeable after a few weeks, and then as breakage at the root. Ask beforehand which strand thickness will be applied and how many grams are planned in total.
How long does delivery to Berlin take?
Custom-made orders take 10 to 14 working days, or 12 to 16 working days with a requested color, plus shipping time. Items available for immediate dispatch leave within 1 to 3 working days. Shipping within Germany is free.
Can I pick up the hair in Berlin or look at it beforehand?
No. EchtHaar Direkt is a purely online shop based in Ludwigsburg, with no retail store; everything is shipped. For comparing colors at home, there is the color ring, and for a requested color you will receive a photo for approval before shipping.
Who installs the extensions in Berlin?
Your hairdresser locally. Hairdressers who install our hair are listed in the stylist search; salons can register through the partner program and receive trade terms.
Conclusion
In Berlin, the real problem is choice, not availability. Separate the labor price from the hair price, ask about strand thickness and total weight, and have the method explained to you instead of just quoting a final price. If you want to decide your hair yourself, configure it in advance and bring it with you.
