What affects the price
Extension method
Tape is often the most affordable entry point; keratin bonds and micro rings cost more but suit different hair types.
Hair quality and origin
European, Slavic and Brazilian hair tiers are priced differently — Brazilian/long length sits highest.
Length and volume
Quotes vary by inch length (14–24") and whether you need half, three-quarter or full head coverage.
Hair included vs fitting only
Some salons quote all-inclusive (hair + fit + cut); others itemise hair cost separately.
Ongoing refit costs
Budget for maintenance every 6–12 weeks — the true annual cost includes refits, not just the first fitting.
Why can Modelow appointments cost less?
Some clinics offer reduced-price appointments when they need a model for training, demonstrations, content or supervised practice. The lower price reflects the appointment type — not necessarily lower standards.
Prices change and differ between clinics. Confirm the exact treatment, practitioner, inclusions and total cost before you book.
