What do hair extensions cost in San Jose and Fremont?
A full set across the Bay Area usually lands between $300 and $1,200 including the hair. The wide range is almost entirely about how much hair you need and how many rows or packs the method uses, not about the fitting alone.
| Method | Half head | Full head |
|---|---|---|
| Tape-in | $299 | $469 |
| Nano ring | $349 | $599 |
| Genius weft | $529 (1 row) | $899 (2 rows, 150g) |
| Machine weft | $349 |
What is included in the price?
Our all-in packages include the hair and the installation. Many salons quote the install and the hair separately, or bill by the hour, so a low headline figure can grow once the hair is added. Always compare the total for the result you actually want.
Nothing is added at your consultation. The method, shade and amount are confirmed first, and the number you are quoted is the number you pay.
Why do hair extension quotes vary so much?
Five things move a quote up or down: the amount of hair, the length you choose, the method, the shade (special order colors cost more) and how long the install takes.
A fine-haired client who wants volume may need one pack, while a client with thick hair who wants 24 inches may need three. Longer hair costs more per pack because there is more hair in it. A full head of strand-by-strand nano rings takes longer to install than a tape-in, so the fitting cost is higher. Quotes that seem very cheap often exclude the hair or use a small amount of low grade hair.
What does maintenance cost over a year?
Budget for a move-up every 6 to 10 weeks depending on the method, starting at $129 for a half head of tape-ins. A move-up reuses your own hair, so it is much cheaper than a first install.
Over a year, most clients have around six move-ups. If you compare methods, add the move-up schedule to the install price so you are comparing the yearly cost, not just the first appointment.
How much does the hair cost on its own?
If you only want to buy hair, or you have a stylist you already see, hair is sold by the pack in the shop.
- Tape-in 50g, 20 pieces: $129 (16 in) to $189 (24 in)
- Nano ring 50 strands: $129 (16 in) to $179 (24 in)
- Machine weft 100g: $119 (16 in) to $179 (24 in)
- Genius weft about 100g: $249 (16 in) to $329 (24 in)
Is there a new client offer?
Yes. New clients receive $75 off a first full install and $50 off a half head. Book with a friend and you each get an extra $25 off. The offer applies to the all-in packages, so the discount comes off a price that already includes the hair.
Is there a deposit and how do I pay?
A $100 deposit secures your install. It comes off your total and is fully refundable until your hair is ordered. Card payment is handled securely by Stripe, and the shop shows a price per length on every product page.
Special-order shades are requested first. The lead time is confirmed before any payment is taken, and no payment is taken for a request.
How can I keep the cost down?
Choose the method that fits your natural density, because too much hair is wasteful and too little needs replacing sooner. Reuse your hair with regular move-ups instead of buying a new set each time. Start with a half head if you mainly want volume, and add a pack later if you want more.
Also watch the shop offers: two packs save 5 percent and three or more save 10 percent, and free studio pickup at Regus San Jose Airport saves the shipping cost for local clients.
Questions
Is there a deposit?
A $100 deposit secures your install. It comes off your total and is fully refundable until your hair is ordered.
Can I buy the hair only?
Yes. Hair is sold separately in the shop with free pickup at Regus San Jose Airport, San Jose.
Why are some quotes in the Bay Area much cheaper?
They often exclude the hair, use a smaller amount, or bill by the hour so the total grows. Compare the complete price including hair and fitting for the same result.
Do longer extensions cost more?
Yes. Longer hair needs more weight and costs more per pack, and it may need an extra pack to keep the ends looking full.
How much should I budget for the first year?
Plan the install price plus around six move-ups. Reusing your hair across move-ups keeps the yearly cost well below buying a new set each cycle.
