Extensions before Christmas: order deadlines and what will still arrive in time

In short: To make sure your made-to-measure hair extensions reach you before Christmas, order by 26.11. at the latest, or by 24.11. if you want a custom colour matched to a photo. Production takes 10–14 working days, and custom colours take 12–16 working days. After that, only ready-to-ship stock is left: order by 15.12., dispatch within 1 to 3 working days. If you still want to give a gift shortly before the holidays, choose a gift voucher, which is sent by email immediately. Shipping within Germany is free, and you can also pay on invoice or in instalments with Klarna.

Our made-to-measure extensions are not sitting ready on a shelf: they are only produced once your order is in, in exactly the length, colour and quantity you have chosen. That is why there is an order deadline before Christmas. Here you can find out until when you can order what, how to plan your hairdresser appointment, and what to do if time gets tight.

These deadlines apply to deliveries within Germany. Order a few days earlier if you can, as parcel services are at full capacity before Christmas.

If you order today, the expected delivery date for made-to-measure extensions is: Delivery approx. 17.11.2026 – 23.11.2026. For a different order date, the delivery time calculator will work out the date for you.

Why there is an order deadline

Every set is made after your order: length from 40 to 130 cm, over 70 colours or your custom colour, texture, fullness at the ends and, for bondings, the strand thickness. This takes 10–14 working days. For a custom colour, the hair is dyed specifically according to your photo, which is why it takes 12–16 working days. With a custom colour, you will receive a photo of your finished hair for approval before dispatch. It is best to reply right away, as the parcel only leaves once you have approved it.

Planning your hairdresser appointment properly

  • Book the appointment only after delivery. Plan for the latest delivery day and allow a few days of leeway. In the configurator, you can enter when you need the hair.
  • Salons are fully booked before the holidays. Ask your hairdresser early for an appointment to have the extensions fitted.
  • Have tapes and bondings fitted a few days before the festivities, so you can get used to the new weight and the connections.
  • You fit clip-ins yourself, taking them out in the morning and evening. You can find out how in Fitting clip-in extensions yourself.

If time gets tight: ready-to-ship stock

If you have missed the order deadline, take a look at Ready to ship. There you will find finished sets in standard colours, lengths and quantities, which leave within 1 to 3 working days. The selection is smaller than in the configurator and changes regularly, so the rule is: what you see there is available.
