Extension hair length varies from 16 inches to 24 inches, after length, we then need to determine the number of rows, usually 1 or 2, or 3 in some cases. For example- 1 Row of 17-inch extensions would start at $700, whereas 2 rows of 24-inch extensions about be $2500+. Because of these variables in pricing, we cannot give an estimate without a Consultation.
