Hair extension tools

The longest appointment in your column should be your best paid one.

Two calculators built for extension work. One prices a new install from hair weight, chair time and what your stylist is actually paid. The other prices move-ups. Both are brand agnostic, so they run off your cost, whoever you buy your hair from. From $229.

Buy Once. Yours For Life. No Subscription.

The difference

A full day of extensions can still underpay you.

A four hour install can return less per hour than a colour.

Hair cost moves every time your supplier's price does.

Move-ups take real chair time that rarely gets priced.

A launch offer can quietly land under what the set costs you.

None of that shows on the booking screen. It shows up in what is left at the end of the month.

The part that gets missed

An extension appointment is never just the install.

There is a cut in it. A toner. A blow wave. Often a custom colour on the hair before it goes anywhere near the client. Most extension pricing rolls all of that into one number, and the extra work quietly disappears inside the install fee.

Both calculators price add-on services as their own lines, each with its own charge, its own chair time and its own product cost. Including the ones you throw in for nothing, so you can finally see what "included" is costing you.

Quick-add in the tool, or type your own. Every service you add carries its own time and product cost into the final price, so the number at the end is the whole appointment, not just the hair.

The tools

Two calculators. One for new sets, one for move-ups.

Each one answers a single question, ends on one number, and tells you exactly what to do with it.

Client facing

Two documents. One calculation.

Run the numbers once and save two versions. Your copy carries the whole picture: hair cost, add-on product, stylist pay, margin and the discount floor. The client's copy carries the service and the price. Nothing else.

Salon copy

Full breakdown. Costs, pay, margin. Stays with you.

Client quote

Service and price only. Ready to email.

Add your salon name, your name and the client's name, and the quote saves as a PDF you can send before they have left the chair. No retyping a price into a separate document, and no chance of a costing sheet going out by mistake.

Before you buy

Three things, and you can run it today.

01 / Your time

How long it sits in the chair

The real appointment length, not the one on the booking screen. That single number is where most extension pricing goes wrong.

02 / Your cost

What you charge for hair and application

Your own buy price and your own fees. No supplier list, no set brand, no fixed range. Change suppliers and the tool still works.

03 / Your team

How the stylist doing it is paid

Hourly or commission, before or after hair cost. You see both treatments side by side, so you know which one your business can carry.

04 / Not a spreadsheet

Built to the standard of a report

Built to the visual standard of every Kai Haus report. Clear, professional, easy to use, and ready to show a stylist.

05 / No interpretation gap

Ends on the answer

Every tool ends on the number that matters and exactly what to do with it. No guesswork about what the figure means.

06 / Yours to reuse

Re-run it any time

Buy once. Run it again whenever your hair cost, your prices or your team changes. No subscription, no data handover.

Beyond extensions

Pricing questions

What operators ask me about extension pricing.

How do you price hair extensions?

Start with what the hair actually costs you per gram, not per pack. Add the chair time at your real hourly rate, using the appointment length that happens rather than the one on the booking screen. Then price the cut, colour, toning and blow wave as their own lines instead of absorbing them into one number. Most extension pricing goes wrong because the install gets priced and everything around it gets given away.

Should I charge by the gram or a flat fee?

Either works, as long as the number underneath it is right. A flat fee is simpler for the client to understand. Per gram is more accurate when your methods carry different costs, because a weft and a K-tip are not the same job and should not sit on the same rate. What matters is that your rate sits above what the hair costs you, on every method, every time.

How much should I charge for a full head of extensions?

There is no single right number, and anyone who hands you one is guessing at your cost base. Your price comes out of what you pay per gram, how long the appointment really takes, and what you pay the stylist doing it. Two salons in the same suburb can be $400 apart and both be correct.

How much should an extension move-up cost?

Enough that the maintenance work stops being the unpaid part of the relationship. Move-ups get underpriced because they feel like the smaller job, but the chair time is often close to the install. Price the time, not the perception.

Should the cut and colour be included in the extension price?

You can include them, as long as you have costed them first. The problem is not bundling, it is bundling without knowing what you bundled. Price each service as its own line, then decide what the all-inclusive number is.

Start here

Price one set properly. Then price them all that way.

Run the numbers on the next install that comes through the door. If the price is right, you will know. If it isn't, you will know exactly what to change.
