Halo Hair Extensions vs. Weft Hair Extensions: A Cost Comparison Guide

Hair extensions have revolutionised the way we think about hair styling, offering versatility and transformation, but not all methods are created equal when it comes to cost, maintenance and long-term value. Two of the most popular options clients consider are halo extensions and weft extensions.

At Yovanka Loria Salon, we specialise in professional weft extensions, but we know many clients still compare them to halos. Let's break down the cost of each so you can choose the best investment for your hair goals.

What Are Halo Hair Extensions?

Halo Hair Extensions are a temporary, DIY option that sit on the head using a thin, invisible wire. They're easy to apply and remove, making them popular for occasional wear or events. 

Cost Considerations:

Material: The cost can vary depending on whether they are made from synthetic or real human hair.

Quality: Higher quality extensions, which offer a more natural look and longevity, tend to be more expensive.

Maintenance: They require minimal maintenance.

Longevity: With frequent wear, they can wear out faster and need replacement.

What Are Weft Hair Extensions?

Weft hair extensions, offered exclusively by Yovanka Loria Salon, involve sewing hair onto a seam or 'weft'. These extensions are applied professionally and are known for their durability and natural appearance.

Cost Considerations:

Application: The initial cost includes professional application, which contributes to a higher upfront cost compared to halo extensions.

Quality and Type of Hair: Like halo extensions, the cost varies based on the hair quality. Yovanka Loria Salon specialises in high-quality, natural human hair, which can be a factor in the pricing.

Maintenance: Regular salon visits for maintenance can add to the overall cost.

Longevity: High-quality wefts (like Yovanka Loria Extensions) can last 6-12 moths with proper aftercare.

Comparing Costs: Halo vs. Weft Hair Extensions

When comparing the two, it's important to consider both the initial investment and ongoing maintenance costs.

Initial Investment: Halo extensions are generally less expensive initially due to the DIY nature of their application. Weft extensions, requiring professional application, often have a higher initial cost.

Long-Term Value: Weft extensions, while more costly upfront, can offer better long-term value due to their durability and the quality of the hair used.

Making the Right Choice for Your Budget

The decision between halo and weft extensions should be based on your lifestyle, budget, and hair goals.

For Flexibility and Lower Cost: If you're looking for a flexible, lower-cost option for occasional use, halo extensions might be the way to go.

For Durability and Professional Finish: If you're seeking a more permanent solution with a professional finish, investing in weft extensions could be more beneficial in the long run.
