How Much Do Hair Extensions Cost? Your Guide at EH Salons

Why Clients Ask About Price

When new clients call EH Salons in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne or Gold Coast, one of the first questions is always: “How much do hair extensions cost?”

We completely understand the need to know pricing, however the truth is, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer. The price will depend on the method, length, and amount of hair needed. Here’s a clear breakdown to help you understand the investment.

Which Methods Are More Expensive (and Why)

• Keratin Bonds / K-Tips
  • Typically higher in price.
  • Why: This is one of the most intricate methods, applied strand by strand. It requires more time and technical skill, but the result is ultra-natural and long-lasting (up to 3–5 months).
• Micros / Microbeads
  • Higher investment compared to tapes.
  • Why: Like K-Tips, these are applied in small sections, giving precision and longevity. They need specialised application and maintenance.
• Wefts
  • Mid-range to higher
  • Why: Wefts are intricately sewn into the hair in rows, which gives full volume in less time than strand-by-strand methods. Great for thicker hair.
• Tapes
  • More affordable compared to bonds or micros.
  • Why: Tapes are applied in larger sections, so the application time is faster. They’re versatile and can be reused with proper maintenance.
• Clip-ins (custom matched at consults)
  • Entry-level option.
  • Why: Because they aren’t applied permanently in the salon, they’re a lower-cost way to get longer or fuller hair for special occasions. The clip ins from Jadore Hair Supplies offer tremendous value due to their premium quality and longevity.

Why We Use 100% Remy Hair

At EH Salons, all of our extensions are made with 100% Remy human hair.

But what does that mean?

• Remy hair is considered the highest quality because each strand’s cuticle is kept intact and aligned in the same direction.
• This means:
  • No matting or tangling.
  • Soft, smooth finish.
  • Natural blend with your own hair.
  • Little to no colour fade of the extensions
• Non-Remy or synthetic hair might feel good at first, but it doesn’t last — it tangles, sheds, and loses shine quickly.

When you invest in Remy hair, you’re investing in extensions that not only look natural, but also last longer with the right care.

Price vs Value

Extensions are not just about price, they’re about quality, safety, and results. With the right method and premium Remy hair, your extensions can last months, be reapplied, and look natural every single day.

What is the most important thing to make my extensions last a long time?

Once your extensions are applied, you will feel amazing with beautifully soft hair, and because the hair is no longer connected to a life source (scalp) it requires special ingredients to make it stay soft and not dry out. Using hair care that has been designed for hair extension is the key. They are packed with hydrating, moisturising ingredients such as Argan Oil and Macadamia Oil, and prolong the life of your extensions. Many hair care products are designed to strengthen our natural hair and these must be avoided on your extensions. Always look out for products with PROTEIN in the ingredients list as this will cause your extensions to dry out and become brittle.
