How much do hair extensions cost in Maidstone?

If you are looking into hair extensions in Maidstone, the honest answer is that there is no single price. The cost depends on your hair, the length and volume you want, and the method that suits you best. At John Richards Hairdressing in Allington, Maidstone, every set is quoted individually so you only ever pay for what your look actually needs.
Why hair extensions need an individual quote
No two heads of hair are the same. The amount of hair needed to blend seamlessly with fine hair is very different from what a thick head of hair requires, and the length you want changes the price again. Someone adding a little volume will need far less hair than someone going for dramatic length.
Because of this, a fixed price list would either overcharge some people or leave others short. We quote each set individually so the result is right for you and the cost is fair. You will always know the full price before anything is booked in, with no surprises later.
What affects the cost of your extensions
A few things shape the final figure. The method you choose is the biggest factor, followed by how much hair you need and the length. The brand of hair also plays a part, as we work with premium Remi Cachet and Maxwell Melia hair for a natural, long lasting finish.
Maintenance is worth thinking about too. Extensions are refitted as your own hair grows, so it helps to plan for the upkeep as well as the first fitting. Your stylist will talk you through all of this at your consultation.
Choosing the right method for you
We offer three methods at our Maidstone salon, and the best one for you depends on your hair type and the look you are after. You can read the full detail on our hair extensions page in Maidstone, Kent, but here is the short version.
Tape extensions use lightweight wefts that lie flat and hidden, ideal for fine to medium hair. Micro and nano ring extensions attach individual strands with tiny rings and no heat or glue, with nano rings suiting finer hair especially well. Weft extensions add full, even volume across the head and work beautifully on thicker hair.
How to get your quote
Getting a price is simple. Book a consultation with Lauren, our fully qualified extensions specialist, and she will assess your hair, agree the method, length and shade, and colour match your hair. You will leave knowing exactly what your extensions will cost and what to expect.
Frequently asked questions
Why can you not list a fixed price for hair extensions?
Because the amount of hair, the length and the method all change from person to person. A fixed price would not be accurate or fair. An individual quote means you pay for exactly what your look needs and nothing more.
How long do hair extensions last?
With good care, the hair itself can last several months and be reused across refits. The fittings are refreshed every six to twelve weeks depending on the method, as your own hair grows and the attachments move down.
Are hair extensions worth the cost?
For many people, yes. Extensions add length and volume that your own hair may not achieve on its own, and premium human hair looks and moves naturally. Your consultation is the best place to weigh up the options for your budget.
Do hair extensions damage your hair?
Fitted and removed correctly by a qualified specialist, and cared for properly, extensions are gentle on your natural hair. Following your aftercare and keeping to your maintenance schedule keeps both your hair and the extensions in great condition.
