How much do hair extensions cost in London?

The cost of hair extensions in London depends on the method you choose, how much hair you need, and the quality of the hair itself. Extensions are a bespoke service, so the price is built around your hair and the look you are after rather than a single set fee. At Simon Warwick Salons in Maida Vale, we quote after a consultation, so the figure reflects the length, volume and method that suit you.

Quick answer: Hair extensions are priced by method, the amount of hair used, and the grade of hair. Premium brands like Great Lengths cost more than temporary options, but last far longer. For current prices, see our hair extensions in Maida Vale or book a consultation.

What affects the cost of hair extensions

Extensions range from a few discreet pieces for volume to a full head for real length, so the price varies widely.

• The method. Tape in, pre bonded and other systems each take different amounts of time and hair, so they sit at different price points.
• How much hair you need. A little extra volume costs less than a full head of long, thick extensions.
• The quality of the hair. Premium human hair looks natural and lasts longer, which is reflected in the price.
• Fitting and upkeep. Extensions need maintenance appointments to move or refresh them, so it helps to plan for the full cycle, not only the first fit.

In short: you are paying for the hair itself and the skill to fit it so it looks seamless. Better hair and expert fitting cost more up front and tend to last longer.

You can see current pricing on our hair extensions page, and we will confirm your exact quote in person.

Which type of hair extensions lasts longest?

If value over time matters to you, the method makes a real difference. Tape in extensions are quick to fit and comfortable, and suit people who want flexibility. Pre bonded extensions are designed for longer wear and a very natural blend.

Good to know: our guides explain both options in detail. Read about the secret to natural looking tape in extensions and Great Lengths pre bonded extensions to see which fits your hair and your routine.

Are hair extensions worth the cost?

For length that will not grow overnight, or volume that fine hair cannot hold on its own, extensions are often the fastest route to the look you want. Because premium extensions can be maintained and reused for a good stretch of time, the cost is spread across months of wear rather than a single occasion.

Frequently asked questions

How long do hair extensions last?

It depends on the method and your care. Tape in extensions are usually moved up every six to eight weeks, while pre bonded systems can last several months before they need refitting. Good aftercare and regular maintenance appointments make a real difference.

Do hair extensions damage your hair?

When they are fitted and removed by an experienced stylist, and cared for properly, extensions are a safe way to add length and volume. A consultation lets us check your hair first and choose a method that protects its health.

What is the most natural looking type of extensions?

Both tape in and pre bonded extensions can look very natural when the hair is colour matched and fitted well. The best choice depends on your hair type, lifestyle and the result you want, which we talk through at consultation.

How much maintenance do extensions need?

Plan for maintenance appointments to move or refresh your extensions, plus gentle daily care at home. Factoring this in from the start helps you budget for the full cycle rather than only the first fitting.
