Extensions are bought for length, thickness, or both — which one you are after changes the method and the price
Hair extensions are the service Dallas salons are least willing to put a price on, and here the reluctance is fair. A haircut can be quoted off a menu. An extension quote cannot, because it moves with four things at once: the method, the length, how much hair it takes and whether your color matches what comes in stock. Most of those cannot be judged from a booking page.
That is why most Dallas salons answer the cost question with "book a consultation." It is a fair answer and an unsatisfying one, because it leaves you agreeing to an appointment without knowing whether you are about to spend four hundred dollars or two and a half thousand.
This guide covers the methods available in Dallas, what the market publishes about cost, what moves the figure, what the consultation decides, and what maintenance adds over a year. Where a Dallas salon publishes real numbers, those numbers are here.
Clark & Company Salon publishes this guide. Our own extension service is quoted at a consultation rather than from a price list, so we have not put a figure on it here. Every price below belongs to the salon named beside it and was taken from that salon's own website in September 2026.
Quick answer: what do hair extensions cost in Dallas?
One Dallas salon publishes a full extension price list, and it is the most useful starting point available. Tangerine Salon lists tape-in extensions at $420 to $550 per box installed, hand-tied wefts at $845 to $2,375 installed, and volume wefts at $1,075 to $2,370 installed. Each of those figures is the hair plus the installation, and Tangerine breaks out both halves.
Most Dallas salons publish no extension price at all, Clark & Company among them. Six salons with a verified extension offering are listed further down, with what each one publishes.
Tangerine also states the three things that set the price: the method, the length of hair, and the density, meaning how much hair you need to reach the result you want. None of those is knowable before someone looks at your hair, which is why the consultation exists.
The figure most people underestimate is the move-up cycle that follows the install, covered further down.
The extension methods you will be offered in Dallas
Salons use different names for overlapping things, so it helps to know what is being described. Salon D publishes the clearest method list of any Dallas salon checked here, and names five.
Before and after: extensions used to add thickness rather than length
Tape-in extensions
Wefts of hair attached with adhesive tabs that sandwich a thin section of your own hair. Salon D describes the finish as "seamless, flat" and discreet, and says tape-ins last six to eight months. They are the lowest entry point in Dallas by a wide margin: Tangerine prices them per box rather than per head, at $420 to $550 installed, which means you can start with less hair and add later.
Hand-tied wefts
A weft of hair sewn onto a row of beads anchored in your own hair. Salon D describes them as suited to medium to thick hair. They sit flatter than older sewn-in methods and carry no adhesive, which is part of the appeal. They are also the method where Tangerine's published range opens widest ($845 to $2,375 installed), because the number of rows is entirely dependent on the head.
Volume wefts
The same principle as hand-tied, with more hair on each weft, and the highest of the three published figures at $1,075 to $2,370 installed. If the goal is thickness rather than length, this is usually the conversation.
K-tip and I-tip
Two strand-by-strand methods. K-tip, also called a keratin bond, is heat-bonded to small sections of your own hair; Salon D says it lasts up to five months. I-tip, also called a microlink, uses a silicone-lined cylinder clamped shut with no adhesive and no heat at all, and the hair is reusable for up to twelve months. Strand methods take longer to install than wefts because each piece is attached individually.
Clip-ins
Temporary and self-applied, and listed for events rather than as a standing service. If what you want is length for one weekend, this is the honest answer and nobody needs to attach anything to your hair.
What the price is actually made of
The most useful thing Tangerine publishes is the split between hair and installation, more than the totals.
On tape-ins, the hair is listed at $320 to $450 per box and the installation at $100 per box. On hand-tied wefts, the hair runs $320 to $1,375 and the installation $525 to $1,000. On volume wefts, the hair runs $550 to $1,370 against installation of $525 to $1,000.
Two things follow from that, whichever salon you use.
The hair is a product you are buying, not a fee. It has a length, a quality and a quantity, and it is the half of the bill that moves most. Asking what the hair costs separately from what the appointment costs is a reasonable question, and a salon that breaks the figure out this way can answer it.
The installation is time. The installation figures barely move between hand-tied and volume wefts ($525 to $1,000 for both), because the work is the rows, not the weight of hair on them. That is also why strand methods, where every piece is placed individually, price differently from wefts.
Why so many Dallas salons publish nothing
It is tempting to read a missing price as a bad sign. Across the Dallas salons checked here, it is closer to a structural fact about the service.
Salon D says so directly: pricing is personalized to the extension type, the application method, the length and volume of hair needed, and the color match, with a consultation for a custom quote. Color matching alone can change which hair is ordered.
Clark & Company is in the same group, and so are Capelli, Rossi Park and Modern Collective: all four list extensions as a service and none attaches a figure to it.
In practice, a published price and an unpublished one are hard to compare. One is a starting figure for a hypothetical head. The other is an admission that the figure is going to be specific. What you can compare is how well each salon explains what drives the number.
What actually moves your quote
There are four variables, and only some of them are yours to control.
How much hair a result needs is judged in person, not from a booking page
Method. The largest swing by far. The figures above span roughly five-fold from the cheapest tape-in to the dearest volume weft, at one salon, in one city.
Length. Tangerine states its range covers 16 inches to 24 inches and up. Longer hair costs more per piece, because you are buying more of it.
Density. How many bundles, boxes or rows it takes to get the result you are picturing. This is the variable clients most often underestimate, and the one a stylist can only judge in person. A fine head of hair needing full coverage can need more hair than a thick head needing length alone.
Color match. Salon D names this as a pricing factor in its own right. If your color is not a stock match, the hair may need to be colored to blend, which is work on top of the install.
Of those four, method is the one you can trade against budget. Length and density are mostly set by your hair and your goal.
Hair extension salons in Dallas to know
Six Dallas salons with a verified extension offering, listed alphabetically. It is not a ranking and nothing here is scored. Each entry covers what the salon publishes about its own extension work, so you can shortlist before you start calling.
Capelli Salon Design District
2629 North Stemmons Freeway, Suite 220.
Names four methods: tape-in, sew-in, fusion and clip-in. No prices are published. Capelli is the one salon here that publishes a written guide to what happens at a first consultation, covering what to bring, a conversation about goals, and an assessment of texture, scalp health and color history. New clients are offered 20% off a first visit. Open Tuesday to Friday 10am to 7pm and Saturday 10am to 5pm.
Clark & Company Salon
1130 Dragon Street, Suite 170, in the Design District. Opened September 2025.
Extensions are a named service on our price list, booked through a consultation with a deposit rather than at a published price. The salon runs as a collective of ten stylists, each with their own book, their own published prices and their own booking guidelines. As of September 2026 it holds 4.9 out of 5 on Google from 288 reviews. Open Tuesday to Friday 10am to 6pm and Saturday 10am to 5pm, closed Sunday and Monday, with at least 24 hours' notice asked for a cancellation and 48 hours on anything booked with a deposit.
Modern Collective Salon
1430 Dragon Street, Suite 107.
Extensions are published as a service. Seven independent stylists work under one roof and each takes bookings through their own link, so the practical first step here is choosing the stylist rather than the salon. No prices are published.
Rossi Park
136 Glass Street, Suite 160.
The only salon here that names the extension systems it works with: Great Lengths, Hair Dreams and Extensionology. No prices are published against any of them and no consultation process is described. Booking is online.
Salon D
13615 Inwood Road, Suite 160.
Five methods, most of them with a stated wear window: tape-in at six to eight months, K-tip at up to five months, I-tip reusable for up to twelve months, plus hand-tied wefts and clip-ins. Move-ups are published at every four to eight weeks, and four to six weeks for I-tips. Pricing is by consultation.
Tangerine Salon
7949 Walnut Hill Lane, Suite 105, in Preston Hollow.
The only Dallas salon found here publishing a full extension price list, split into the hair and the installation, and the only one publishing its move-up intervals and maintenance prices alongside it. Every Tangerine figure quoted earlier in this guide comes from that list. Extension consultations are free with no obligation. Tangerine also operates in Coppell, Frisco, Highland Village and Allen.
The consultation: what it is actually for
An extension consultation is where the four variables above get fixed, and it is the only point at which a real number exists. Treat it that way rather than as a sales pitch.
Expect it to cover what has already been done to your hair, whether your hair and scalp can carry the method you have in mind, how much hair the result needs, what color hair has to be ordered, and what the upkeep will cost you, in money and in appointments.
Practice varies across Dallas. Tangerine makes its extension consultations free and states there is no obligation; Salon D asks clients to request one to receive a custom quote; at Clark & Company a consultation and a deposit are both part of booking extension work. Find out which you are booking, and whether anything is payable to hold the date.
Two things belong in that appointment rather than after it. Ask for the quote broken into hair and installation, because those are two different purchases. And ask what the first twelve months look like, not just the install. The next section covers that part.

Maintenance is the number people get wrong
The install is a one-off. The move-up is not, and over a year it can add up to a figure the install quote never hinted at.
Extensions do not stay where they were put, because your own hair grows out from underneath them. So the attachment has to be taken down and reset on a cycle. Tangerine publishes both the intervals and the prices, which is what makes the arithmetic below possible.
The intervals. Hand-tied and volume wefts need moving up every six to ten weeks; tape-ins every six to eight.
The prices. A mini weft move-up from $75, tape-in removal at $75, tape-in reinstall on existing hair at $100 per box, and a full weft removal and reinstall at up to $600.
Put the two together. Six-to-ten-week move-ups work out at roughly five to nine appointments a year; six-to-eight-week tape-in cycles work out at roughly seven to nine. A tape-in client running two boxes is looking at the reinstall figure multiplied by the boxes, every time. A weft client at the top of that published range is looking at a materially larger annual figure than the install alone suggested.
Read those as appointment counts, not a bill. The arithmetic assumes an identical service every cycle and leaves out the hair itself, which is replaced on its own schedule. Salon D publishes wear windows of six to eight months for tape-ins, up to five months for K-tip, and up to twelve months of reuse for I-tip. They still show what an install quote leaves out.
If you care about the yearly cost, ask the stylist to price a year rather than an appointment. Anyone who does extensions regularly can tell you how many times you will be back and what each visit costs.
How to choose an extension stylist in Dallas
Extensions are more dependent on the individual than most salon services, because the install is a physical craft and the aftercare is a relationship.
Ask to see their work on hair like yours. Finished photographs of thick hair made thicker tell you very little if your hair is fine, or short, or growing out damage. Ask for the starting point, not just the result.
Ask which methods they actually install. Not which ones the salon offers, but which ones this person does regularly. A stylist who fits one method well is a better outcome than one who will attempt anything.
Ask what they would decline to do. A stylist who says your hair is not currently a candidate for a heavy method, or that you should wait, is protecting your hair and telling you something true. That answer is worth more than a yes.
Ask who maintains it. Move-ups tie you to a chair for as long as you wear the extensions, so at a salon where stylists keep separate books, ask about that stylist's availability on a six-to-ten-week cycle rather than the salon's.
Questions to ask before you book
Take these into the consultation.
- Which method are you recommending for my hair, and why that one over the alternatives?
- What is the hair costing, and what is the installation costing?
- How much hair does this need: how many boxes, bundles or rows?
- Does my color match stock hair, or does it need coloring to blend?
- How often will I need a move-up, and what does each one cost?
- How long will the hair itself last before it is replaced?
- Is a deposit required, does it come off the final price, and what happens to it if I reschedule?
- What does removal cost if I decide to stop?
- What can I not do with my hair once these are in?
Any stylist who does extensions routinely will have quick answers to all nine.
Extensions at Clark & Company
Extensions here start with a consultation and a deposit, which is why there is no published figure in our entry above.
Understand the deposit before you book. It is applied to the cost of your service rather than charged on top of it, and it reserves the longer appointment that extension work needs. It also covers something specific: once hair has been ordered for you, that hair is non-refundable. Extension hair is matched and bought for one head, so the order is the point of no return rather than the appointment itself.
Deposit appointments also run on a longer cancellation window than the rest of the salon: we ask for 48 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule one, and with that notice the deposit moves to the new date.
Founder Kaycee Clark has worked in hair in Dallas since 1992, trained through one of TONI&GUY's first Texas academy classes, and went on to run TONI&GUY's education program nationally. Because each of the ten stylists keeps their own book, the useful first step is telling us what you are after so we can point you at the right person. Our stylists each have a page with their work and their booking guidelines on it.
If your priority is the cut or the color rather than length, we have also published guides to curly and textured hair salons in Dallas, where to get balayage in Dallas, and the hair salons inside the Dallas Design District.

Frequently asked questions
How much do hair extensions cost in Dallas?
Most Dallas salons quote by consultation rather than publishing a price. The clearest published figures come from Tangerine Salon, which lists tape-ins at $420 to $550 per box installed, hand-tied wefts at $845 to $2,375 installed and volume wefts at $1,075 to $2,370 installed, each covering the hair plus the installation. Tangerine names method, length and density as the three things that set the figure. Clark & Company, Salon D, Rossi Park, Capelli and Modern Collective publish no extension prices at all.
How often do hair extensions need moving up?
Tangerine publishes six to ten weeks for hand-tied and volume wefts and six to eight weeks for tape-ins, which works out at roughly five to nine appointments a year. Salon D publishes move-ups every four to eight weeks depending on method, with I-tips at four to six weeks. The hair itself is replaced on a separate schedule: Salon D publishes six to eight months for tape-ins, up to five months for K-tip and up to twelve months of reuse for I-tip.
Why will Dallas salons not give you an extension price over the phone?
Because the quote depends on things nobody can see over the phone: the method, the length and volume of hair you need, and whether your color matches stock hair. Until a stylist has looked at your hair and heard the result you want, any figure is a guess.
What should you ask at a hair extension consultation?
Two questions matter more than the rest: ask for the quote split into hair and installation, since those are two separate purchases, and ask how often you will need a move-up and what each one costs, because over a year that can exceed the install. The full checklist to take in with you is further up this guide.
Booking an extension consultation in Dallas
Wherever you go, four things help.
Book the consultation as its own appointment. It is where the method, the hair order and the budget get decided, so do not treat it as a formality.
Bring your history. What has been done to your hair, what you have worn before, what went wrong if something did.
Bring the honest version of your routine. How you actually wash, heat-style and sleep matters more to method choice than the result photograph does.
Price the whole year. The install is only the first cost; the move-up schedule is the one you live with.
Clark & Company is at 1130 Dragon Street, Suite 170, open Tuesday to Friday from 10am to 6pm and Saturday from 10am to 5pm, closed Sunday and Monday. Extensions start with a consultation and a deposit. You can book online through ScheduleAnyone or call (214) 242-9250 and tell us what you are after, and we will point you at the right stylist.
