Hair Extensions Cost
A Yovanka Loria Guide
How Much Do Hair Extensions Cost In Salon?
An honest look at what shapes the price.
There's no single sticker price for salon hair extensions, and that's a good thing. Your investment reflects your own hair, the look you want and the quality of the hair itself. Here's an honest guide to what drives the cost at a luxury extensions salon.
The short answer
Why there's no one price
At Yovanka Loria Salon, every service is completely customisable, which means pricing varies based on your current hair density and your desired outcome. Two people can walk in wanting "long, full hair" and leave with very different sets, and very different quotes. That's why an accurate price always comes from a personalised consultation rather than a fixed menu.
What follows is a plain-English breakdown of the factors that move the price up or down, what's included in your investment, and the ongoing costs to plan for, so you can walk into your consultation informed.
What affects the price
The factors that shape your quote
A handful of things determine where your investment lands:
- How much hair you need thicker, fuller results use more wefts than a subtle boost of length or volume.
- Length longer lengths use more hair and cost more than shorter sets.
- Texture your match from Straight, Natural Body, Deep Wave or Curly, chosen to suit your natural hair.
- Method salon-installed Micro-Tied Wefts versus removable Seamless Clip-Ins are different investments.
- Custom colour any colour work to your extensions or natural hair is quoted separately from the installation.
- Your natural hair its density and condition influence how your set is designed.
Because these combine differently for everyone, your stylist prices your set specifically for you at consultation.
What's included
What your investment covers
Your initial installation investment isn't just the hair. At Yovanka Loria Salon it includes a new set of YL Micro-Tied Extensions, professional installation using the Hidden Bead Method, cutting, blending and styling, and a customised YL Aftercare Pack, a shampoo, treatment, YL Detangler Brush and aftercare manual to keep your extensions beautiful at home.
One thing to note: the initial fee does not include any required custom colouring to your extensions or your natural hair. Colour is quoted separately so you only pay for what your look actually needs.
Ongoing costs
Maintenance & longevity
Extensions are an ongoing relationship, not a one-off. For salon-installed wefts, plan for re-lift appointments roughly every eight weeks to keep your extensions comfortable and correctly positioned as your natural hair grows, plus occasional toning or colour refreshes to keep everything blended.
The upside is longevity. Cared for well, quality YL extensions can last up to twelve months, which changes the maths considerably, a higher upfront investment spread across a year of wear. Prefer no maintenance appointments at all? Removable Seamless Clip-Ins are a lower-commitment option you look after yourself.
It's also worth budgeting for the small things that keep extensions looking their best: salon-recommended, extension-safe shampoo, treatment and styling products. Using the right products protects your investment and helps your hair reach that full twelve months rather than tiring early.
Payment & value
Planning your investment
Pricing is discussed openly at your consultation, where you'll receive an approximate quote before you commit. A booking fee is required to secure new installation appointments. For current payment options, it's best to ask our team directly at your consultation.
Finally, remember that the cheapest extensions are rarely the most affordable. Poor-quality hair can look synthetic, wear out quickly and stress your natural hair, so it's replaced sooner. Investing in quality that lasts up to a year is usually the more cost-effective choice over time. For more on this, see our guide to affordable hair extensions.
