The best guide to tape in hair extensions pricing!

Fee per Panel – “Panel” is classified as “two tape shots installed together”. The average salon charges between $30 and $40 per panel (including the cost of the hair). Each panel takes about 1 minute to install and is a great way to boost your ticket. It also gives your clients the fullness/length/highlight they are looking for without the use of chemicals. The average full head requires about 20 records. The cost of the service – the price of the service is determined after consultation with the customer. After the consultation, the hairdresser should know how much hair needs to be ordered, how long and how long it will take.

On average, for a full head, the customer needs four packs (40 pieces). The average ticket for the service is $600-$800 (4 packs, 18 inches long).

The Hair Cost & Hourly Rate – Some salons like to charge the client for the cost of the hair and add an additional installation fee for the hair extensions. For example, if the hair was $250, the salon will add $150 to apply the full head of tape-in ​​hair extensions.

All prices include haircut and style of hair extensions.

Removal and Reapplication

So you’ve started offering tape in hair extensions in your salon and are wondering how much to charge your client. This is one of the most frequently asked questions we receive from our hairstylists who are entering the world of tape in hair extensions salon menu prices. What do other salons in your area charge for hair extensions? Client should come in every 6-8 weeks for hair extension reapplication. Where the barber reuses the hair extensions. Cost is for Retape tabs, remover and labor only. Many salons charge an hourly rate of $60 to $75 to remove and reattach the extensions.

When dealing with hair extensions you may not be thinking far enough ahead of the removal process, but getting it right is just as important for the health of your own hair and scalp. You may have seen those horror stories where people took to cutting out their hair extensions. Get the right extensions, an experienced extension specialist, and safe removal and you can avoid all of this. Read on for everything you need to know.

Here at Gold Class we look at the entire life cycle of your extension journey and during your consultation we will talk to you about the safe removal process so you understand the right method that doesn’t damage your own hair.

1. When do you remove?

This depends on what type of hair extensions you have, how fast your own hair grows and ultimately how well you have taken care of it. To give you an example of pre bonded hair extensions, we recommend removing them after about 3 to 4 months as the bonds have grown on your own hair.

TOP TIP: The biggest problem for extensionists with removal is matting if the client hasn’t properly separated their bonds, so make sure you do this diligently every day!

2. Right tools

To the untrained eye they may look like pliers, but the extensions removal tool is specifically designed to assist in removing the bindings correctly. Gold Class has just released a new tool kit with two different size Removal Tool pliers and a unique inner plate with a horizontal design to improve grip but avoid hair damage – these are the must-have professional tools.

3. Correct solution

Different hair extension brands offer their own removal solutions, so they are specifically formulated to remove the bond they were created for. These products are mainly only available to professional barbers and this is the case with many professional brands.

The gold-class removal gel has proudly received an ADSL (Advanced Development & Safety Laboratories) approval for cosmetic safety.

4. The technique

Your extensions specialist will section your hair to work small areas at a time and use the removal tool to gently shred the binding, criss-crossing plates cutting into the outer binding ready for a small amount of the removal gel to be applied into incorporated the bindings. After a minute, the removal gel ingredients have worked to break the strength of the bond and release the bond from the hair. The extensions then simply slide over the hair causing minimal damage and no sign of traction on the hair or scalp.

There is a myth that the removal process will hurt; but with the right professional extensionist, the right tools and experience, this is not the case.

5. Aftercare

After removal, it is necessary to cleanse the hair with a detoxifying clarifying shampoo to wash out any remaining removal gel and cleanse the hair and scalp well, removing ingrained dirt and matted hair. Comb through the hair to remove any small residue of the bond and again remove any trapped tangled hair.

We recommend a scalp treatment, like the Spa Mist treatment, to revitalize your hair and scalp before repeating the hair health diagnosis to convince yourself that good extensions with experts really don’t harm your hair.

Keratin (aka fusion) hair extensions are the type of extensions that are applied with a hot fusion tool or flat iron. The extensions themselves are already provided with keratin. (I’ve heard of some people using a flat iron to apply, but they’re too wide to do a good clean job). I will add a new application video soon. Here is an application video I made 12 years ago but is still valid

Remove systematically, choosing a row to remove and clipping any other hair out of the way (I usually start at the nape of the neck, but anywhere is fine).

Add a generous amount of D-Bond Gel to all keratin bonds in the row. D-Bond Gel is thick, which helps it stick and break down the keratin.

Take 3-4 ties and start popping them with the Pro Removal pliers.

As soon as they start to break, add a few drops of the eye sight remover solution and break again.

Keep adding remover and cracking until the keratin is completely crumbled and the extensions pull out easily. (either save this hair or throw it away – check out my re-tipping video in April 2020)

The Vision Removal solution is stronger than D-Bond gel which gives the removal a kick. Once the extensions are removed you may find tangles and tangles over where the ties used to be. That is normal.

Use a good detangling spray in this area and gently comb out the tangles with a fine-toothed comb. I occasionally use a T-pin to get into tight “dreads” that sometimes happen. The more care you take in removing the tangles without breaking the hair, the better your hair health will be.

I recommend having your extensions removed by a professional, but they can also be removed at home.

If you’re doing a house move, take your time and work on a few bindings at a time, resting your arms in between. If you have a loved one to help, even BETTER!

As I write this during the Covid-19 pandemic, I realize that many people need to have extensions removed but are unable to go to a salon because they are closed.

1. You can use either D-Bond Gel or Vision Removal Solution, you don’t have to have both, but using the two together works best.

2. Professional hair removal pliers work best, but you can use regular pliers in a pinch (just don’t use the cutter to cut your hair).

3. DO NOT reheat the keratin or push it out of your hair. You can remove the extension this way but you will leave a thin trail of melted keratin which is very difficult to remove and will prevent you from combing out dreads/tangles.

4. Give yourself time. It may take professional 1-2 hours for removal, so expect it to take longer if you do it for yourself.

5. The longer the extensions are in, the easier it is for the keratin to break down, but tangling can be worse after they’ve been in for a long time.

6. Most modern hair extension companies use keratin which is removed with an alcohol based remover. In a pinch, you can use 91-99% isopropyl alcohol. (70% rubbing alcohol is not strong enough)

7. Rare: Some old-fashioned lengthening applications use a keratin that is broken down with acetone (nail polish remover). If you start removing your extensions and instead of the keratin starting to crumble, they become “sticky” then you are wrong remover. Go to the drugstore and get a bottle of acetone nail polish remover. Place in a spouted bottle and try again using only acetone. If your extensions were attached with a glue gun, they will likely require acetone to remove. Acetone will not work on extensions that require an alcohol-based remover.

Warning! All of the above removers are flammable!

I hope this information helps! Lynn

As much as we would like to keep our beloved hair extensions on our heads permanently, there will surely come a time when we need to remove them. These products are meant to be used for a period of time, after which we need to give our natural curls a rest for a period of time to avoid hair damage and other hair problems caused by improper use of extensions. To ensure your natural curls are not damaged, get your extensions here at Human Hair Extensions Online. We offer premium hair products that are proven non-damaging.

When applying hair extensions it is recommended that you seek advice from a professional hairstylist to ensure they are applied correctly and securely. Although there are some types of extensions like clip-ins that you can install yourself with the other types, professional help is a must. On the other hand, removing hair extensions without expert help is perfectly fine as long as you do it carefully while keeping the health of your tresses in mind. Here are simple tricks you can use to keep your mane safe and damage free during hair extension removal.

For tape ins

Adhesive Remover When installing tape-in ​​hair extensions, you should be prepared to have an adhesive remover that is specifically designed for tape-in ​​extensions. True to its name, it is a product used to remove tape hair extensions and the residue left behind, thereby ridding your roots of sticky adhesive materials. HHEO offers XTEN Tape Hair Extensions Adhesive Remover/Solvent that is completely safe for your hair and skin. Unlike other products, it does not damage the hair and it is very easy to use, since we also include the instructions for its effective use.

However, we also understand how difficult emergencies can be. In case you find yourself in a situation where you need to have your tape in hair extensions removed and don’t have a tape or glue remover handy, you can try some of these tricks, although we cannot guarantee the same results as glue removers would actually do developed for such cases.

Use natural oil for zero damage

If you don’t have a remover, you can do it naturally by using hair oils as an alternative. Instead of using chemical-based products, you can opt for natural oils that are healthy for your strands. You can use any of these: coconut oil, olive oil, almond oil, or baby oil. Apply to the roots and leave on for at least 15 minutes to allow the oil to seep through the bonds. The oil will break the tape bonds, allowing you to easily detach the tape wefts from your mane. However, using oil may take longer to completely remove the product and any residue than using a regular remover. It takes about an hour to complete the removal process.

If oil isn’t around, use peanut butter

If you’re in a pinch and can’t find oil around the house, you can use peanut butter instead. Apply and leave on head for at least 30 minutes. Peanut butter’s natural oil can break down the glue and tape bonds in the same way that almond oil or baby oil can.

Alternatively, use an acetone-free nail polish remover

If extension remover or oil is not available, you can use nail polish remover. Just make sure it’s acetone-free. Apply a few drops of the product to the sides of the tapes. If you notice the tape starting to peel off your mane, slowly peel it off, starting at the edge. If you feel it is difficult to peel off, add more nail polish remover.

Rinse hair thoroughly, condition and wrap in a towel

If the extensions still won’t come off after applying the oil or remover, shower and rinse your curls thoroughly. Apply a generous amount of conditioner, then wrap a towel around your head. Wait about 20 minutes to allow the conditioner to soak in and break down the chemical bonds in your tape.

Comb through your tresses patiently and gently

Gently comb your tresses until the extensions come loose. Start combing at the tips and work your way gently to the roots. This will prevent your extensions from tangling with your natural curls.

Tips for removing tape in hair extensions

Use an adhesive remover specifically designed for tape-in ​​extensions.

If it’s an emergency and you need to remove the extensions but don’t have an adhesive remover, use a natural oil like coconut oil, olive oil, baby oil, almond oil, etc. Stay away from chemical-based oils.

Don’t have access to natural oil products? You can try peanut butter. Leave the peanut butter on your hair for 30 minutes to allow the natural peanut oils to soak into the glue.

For glue or oil resistant extensions, wash your hair and then apply conditioner. Don’t rinse it off right away. Instead, wrap your head in a towel and leave the conditioner on for at least 20 minutes.

Once you’ve untied the extensions, gently comb them out of your hair to prevent them from getting tangled in your hair.

There will come a time when you need to get rid of your tape in hair extensions. While there are tons of ways to remove them, we’ve put together a short list of easy ways to remove them:

Oil-based removers for tape-in ​​hair extensions can vary equally from coconut oil, olive oil, palm oil, or any other oil. This method usually requires the user to apply the oil to the top of the tab and allow time (and sometimes heat from either the warmth of the scalp or from an outside source – like a hair dryer) to allow the oil to seep between the tab and loosen the stickiness of the tape. Additional oil can be used after the peeling has started to aid in the removal process.

Conditioner can be used in the same way as oil to remove the stickiness in hair extensions. This process requires more time and patience than oil. In many cases, massaging the tab area can help loosen the stickiness and allow the conditioner to seep between the adhesive strips.

Alcohol-based removers generally come in the form of a liquid spray. These removers are sprayed directly over the tape in the hair extension tab. Allow time for the alcohol-based remover to seep between the adhesive strips and gently peel away from each other. Use additional spray when corners are lifted to aid in the removal process. Some users have found that a simple mixture of household alcohol (rubbing alcohol), water, and a few drops of an essential oil is the perfect combination for gentle removal. The essential oils impart a pleasant scent during the removal process.
