How much would hair extensions be at a beauty school?

Would you think they would offer them? Just wondering how much they would be..... thanks! And how are they priced, like by length, color, or texture?



How much would hair extensions be at a beauty school?

I attended classes only to become a professional hair extensionist and not a cosmetologist. My school didn't sell the products we used because we practiced on mannequins quite a bit and you can find better quality hair elsewhere. But I really don't think you're going to come across many schools that sell the hair. Balmain Paris is one of the very few schools that do this and they are located all over Europe. There are so many options of hair to choose from so i'll go ahead and tell you the top sites I use to purchase hair, tools and supplies from. These suppliers sell directly to beauty schools, big name salons such as Great Lengths and S.O.Cap, and to regular clients. I buy from the UK suppliers because the prices and quality of the products are absolutely incredible and you're not going to find the same kind of stuff for better prices here in the States!! Assuming you live here that is.



Hair extensions do range in prices, depending on lengths mainly. They can be of any texture and any color imaginable. Sometimes the longer you go, the more expensive it gets. But, again I will say, the places I buy my products from are really generous about their prices. Extensions are so popular in Europe and the suppliers I talk to really aren't big on over-pricing their stuff. It just doesn't make sense. You shouldn't have to shell out thousands of dollars for great extensions. So many people will argue at this and say you get what you pay for. I think that applies more to the ones paying $1240-4000 for the high brand extensions. I was spending so much on the Great Lengths extensions that I finally had to chill out and recognize my budget and go elsewhere. That's when I took some classes and found where the big name salons are buying their stuff from.

^ Amy is one of my favorite suppliers. She is extremely helpful and will tend to any questions you have, any at all. She will answer back so quickly and will never leave you hanging or confused. The only problem with her products is that she sells out extremely quickly!! Her hair and products are in high demand, so a lot of the popular colors and lengths sell very fast.

^ I've bought from them many times so far and i've never once been disappointed. The money I spend is beyond fair and I would never in a million years be able to find better stuff in a cheap beauty supply store around my areas! Melanie and Payton are really fun girls and are extremely helpful. They've recently come out with a new type of hair known as "Euro Premier" which is selling for high dollar in Europe. I actually found out about Hair Doctor from a girl who did my Great Lengths at one point. Great place.



To convert pounds to dollars, simply double the cost, or visit http://www.xe.com/ucc to use their converter. It's very simple. I know that the places I have bought from only charge about $5-10 for shipping, no matter how much you spend.



If you're a little iffy about the different types of hair and different ways of applying the hair, clip in extensions are also great. I stick my nose up everytime to all of these dumb girls creating their own lines of clip ins such as Jessica Simpson. I do understand that this is my opinion though. Some people have had great results with her hair, I haven't.. and none of the people I have talked to have either. It can sometimes be of poor quality and I think the prices are ridiculous. http://www.headkandy.com offers so many great clip in pieces in any color and any length imaginable!! I know Jessica's and the Pop Pieces only go so long. Head Kandy offers a great picture gallery as well to show you different styles and such.



If nothing has helped you out, and you would like to know more, please email me and I will be more than happy to share with you anything you're curious about! Hair extensions can get a bad rep, and I think it's only because some people don't know what they're looking for, or how to find it! Some salons in your area might offer hair extensions, so look around and give someone a call. I personally think buying your own hair to take into a salon is the best option, but this is your hair and your decisions. Before going to school, I would have never thought about shopping on the internet for stuff until I stopped to realize that the big name brand salons have to buy their products from somewhere.. and I never knew where until I went to school and asked. The suppliers I mentioned are the best of the best, and more importantly they are wonderful to work with and trust. Best of luck!!

high $ I'll say''



How much would hair extensions be at a beauty school?

It really all depends on where your located. If your in a city they will be alittle/alot more then in the country or town



How much would hair extensions be at a beauty school?

They would probably offer them, and they would definitely be cheaper than a salon because these "students" doing it aren't exactly certified...but there still really good, because remember, they are getting a grade for it. Probably 1/3 of the price of a regular salon extension.

Do you mean individual strand hair extentions or weave tracks? Call your local beauty school and ask them. Since we're all scattered out across the country, any answers we give you would only be guesses. But I can guarantee you they'll be way cheaper than in a salon. Call the beauty schools in your area and ask them for their specifics on it...Find out whether or not you need to buy your own hair at the beauty supply place (which you probably do, cuz I doubt that a beauty school will have any hair on hand to sell).
