How pricing works
Hair extension pricing in San Diego: no fixed prices, a real quote.
Extension pricing built from a menu is a guess. Yours is built from four variables, in person, at a free consultation — so the number you get is the number it actually is.
The four variables behind your quote
1
Method
Hand-tied rows and I-tip strands use different amounts of hair and different install time. I choose the method for your hair, not for the price sheet.
2
Amount of hair
One row? Two? A handful of strands around the face? The amount your look needs — and your hair can safely carry — drives most of the cost.
3
Length
Longer hair costs more from every vendor. Your goal length is matched against what will look natural with your own hair.
4
Color work
A perfect blend sometimes needs toning or dimensional color on your own hair. If it does, it's quoted separately and clearly.
The transparency promise: you leave the free consultation with an exact quote — method, hair, and any color work, itemized. No pressure, no surprise line items later, and if extensions aren't right for your hair, I'll tell you straight.
Ongoing care is predictable
Your install is custom-quoted at the free consult. What comes after isn't a mystery — maintenance follows a steady rhythm at steady rates.
Move-ups: hand-tied
As your hair grows, rows move up about every 2 months: $200 for the first row and $100 for each additional row.
Move-ups: I-tip
I-tip strands are reinstalled on the same rhythm, priced per strand: $5 per piece. You only pay for the pieces that actually move.
Removal — hand-tied, I-tip or tape-in
Hand-tied, I-tip or tape-in, whoever installed them: professional extension removal is $10 for each started 15-minute interval, the same rate whatever the method. Tape-ins are removed but not installed. Removal needed to correct a covered issue under the limited 30-day promise is free. How removal works.
Pricing questions, answered straight
Why doesn't the site list install prices?
Because a real install quote depends on your hair — the method, the amount of hair, the length, and any color work. A number on a website would either overcharge you or underestimate your look. The exact quote happens at the free consultation, in person, before any commitment. Ongoing care, on the other hand, is predictable — those rates are published below.
Is the consultation really free?
Yes — completely free, no deposit, no obligation. It's a dream-hair conversation, an honest health check of your hair, a color match, and an exact quote.
When would I pay anything?
Only if you decide to move forward. If Aprille requires a deposit before ordering your hair, it is 50% of the combined quoted hair and installation charges, credited toward your total, with color services excluded. Aprille may waive it individually. The rest is paid in person at checkout after your service.
