How Much is TOO Much for Quality Hair Extensions?
After doing a post about the release of Angela Simmons' new hair line 'Bikini' for Indique, a friend pointed out that the hair would retail for a whopping $205-310/ 4 oz (a portion of the sales will go toward a charity). While I'm still unsure about which lengths that price encompasses, it got me thinking… If you're like me, and you like to install a full head of hair, you'd probably want to purchase up to 12 ounces, that's an alarming $600-900! How much is too much to pay for quality virgin extensions? With the overwhelming rise in interest surrounding the hair industry, it seems competition has gotten a whole lot tougher. Companies are promising new textures and more extreme lengths to customers who want to achieve celebrity looks. But at what cost?
Are companies willing to provide quality extensions while remaining affordable? Are they willing to compromise beating out the competition for good customer service?
As renowned hair enthusiast, even I have a limit to what I am willing to spend on hair. Attaching a celebrity name to a product can give way to heightened prices, but the quality does not necessarily increase. For women, who like me, are on a budget but still want to achieve red carpet looks, there should always be some level of affordability linked to purchases.
Having sampled really great brands, I know for a fact that you can get great hair at a fraction of the price. With that said, how much are you willing to pay for quality hair extensions?

When we talk about hair extensions we should always accept the fact that good quality of the product comes first. Why even bother get surprised with how much it's costing you. Yes, we must admit that good quality products are expensive than that of the low quality ones.

Our Quality is AAAAA we are one of the few suppliers that sacrafice profit to allow our clients to enjoy quality hair during our tough economy. I don't understand why other suppliers are still being greedy. I am a stylist and my customers love their hair and wear it long term even after being colored, look at some of our pictures on our website. Most come in every two-three months to have their hair re sewn with the same hair.

I think it just depends on your budget, but you definitely don't have to break the bank for good quality hair. I paid less than $200 for mine, and it has lasts me months and people are always commenting on how realistic it looks. However, once I reach another tax bracket, I wouldn't mind dropping a little more on hair.

I have mine done in Hair Extensions and I like the quality of the hair. It doesn't weigh down. The only thing that Angela's Bikini is costing that much is because she is the daughter of the famous hip hop mogul Run DMC which applies that they are also paying for the name along with the hair. Mine only cost $200.00 and I've had it on for 3 months now and it's still perfect as it was before.
