Why Are Hair Extensions So Expensive? What You Pay For at LAHH

You can buy a pack of hair online for about $50. A salon install costs a lot more. Here is where that money goes at LAHH Salon in Bay Harbor Islands, so you can decide if it is worth it for you.

We give you your exact price at your consultation.

  • LAHH & Co. hair only
  • Color matched in the salon
  • Wefts, tape-ins and K-tips
  • 1090 Kane Concourse, Bay Harbor Islands

The hair itself

Low-cost hair sold online is often stripped and coated so it looks shiny in the package. Once that coating washes out, it can tangle, turn dull and stop matching.

We install LAHH & Co. hair, our own line, because we know how it holds up over time. That is also why we don't install hair from anywhere else.

The color match

Matching extensions to your hair takes time and skill, because a match that is close but not exact still shows.

See how the consultation and color match work.

The training

Installing extensions is a separate skill from cutting and color. Our founder, Emily Safran-Wands, has trained in more than one extension system. That training is how we can tell you which method will work on your hair, and which one won't.

The time

A full install is hours of work in the chair, plus the cut and the blend. Rushing it is how you end up with too much tension, attachments that show and hair that wears out sooner.

Aftercare

Before you leave, we give you a care plan: how to wash and brush your extensions, what to watch for in the Miami sun and pool, and when to book your move-ups or retapes, which are separate maintenance appointments.

Is it worth it?

Any bag will carry your things. People who buy a Birkin are paying for how it is made and how long it lasts. Extensions work the same way: you are paying for the hair, the match and the hours of work that make it blend with yours.

If the lowest price matters most, we are probably not your salon, and that is okay.

Questions about price

Why are salon hair extensions so expensive?

You are paying for the hair, the color match, the stylist's training, hours of install time and a cut that blends it all together. A pack of hair bought online covers only the first of those.

Is hair you buy online the same as salon hair?

Usually not. Low-cost hair is often processed and coated to look good in the package, and it can tangle and dull once that coating washes out.

How much will my extensions cost?

It depends on how much hair you need, the method and the color work. You will get the full price at your consultation, before your install is booked. The consultation has a nonrefundable fee, and it is applied to your install when you book it.

Can I save money by bringing my own extension hair?

No. We only install LAHH & Co. hair. Here is why.
