How much do real human hair extensions cost in Boston?

If you’re wondering how much real human hair extensions cost in Boston, you’re not alone—we hear this question all the time. Prices can vary (widely!) depending on each client and their specific needs and desired look. No two journeys are alike, and hair extensions are very personal.

Whether you’re stepping into a new role, reclaiming your confidence after hair loss, or just ready for something more polished (or funky), the experience should feel effortless and entirely your own. To make it easier for you, we’ve put together a cost estimate breakdown based on the most common extension service requests we receive:

The Reconstructive Service

For hair loss related to hormones, medications, autoimmune conditions, or stress.
$2,000 to $4,000+

The Transformation Service

Total hair makeover for fullness, volume and length.
$4,500 to $8,000+

The Enhancement Service

For fullness and volume without added length.
$2,000 to $3,000+

The Renewal Service

For reclaiming your look post chemotherapy related hair loss.
$2,000 to $12,000+

Hair extension pricing at our Boston salon includes both the extensions themselves and expert application, delivered as a complete service. Pricing typically begins around $2,000 for clients looking to enhance fullness and volume without adding or changing length. For a full transformation — including volume, fullness, and added length — most guests invest between $4,500 and $8,000. Clients seeking support for hair loss related to hormonal shifts, medication side effects, autoimmune conditions, or chronic stress generally see pricing between $2,500 and $4,000. For those reclaiming their look after chemotherapy related hair loss, the investment usually ranges from $2,000 to $12,000, depending on the depth of restoration needed.

What affects the cost of hair extensions at Extology Salon?

We take a personalized approach to every step of your hair extension journey, beginning with a one-on-one consultation to understand your hair, your lifestyle, and your goals. No shortcuts. No cookie-cutter packages. Just results that feel like you.

The cost of your extensions depends on several key factors, including your current hair condition, texture, the best (and safest!) method of application for your desired look, and the amount of hair or number of keratin bonds or tape-in extensions needed. You can learn a bit more about our hair extension application process.

We know you have options when it comes to hair extensions in Boston, Massachusetts, and throughout New England. Prices may vary from salon to salon, but it’s important to remember that quality matters.

While we understand the desire to get a deal, we do think that you often get what you pay for. Cheaper extensions and quick applications can lead to long-term damage—not just to your new look, but to your natural hair when they’re removed. Our priority is to provide you with the best quality extensions, applied and blended seamlessly, so when it’s time to remove them, your hair is healthier, stronger, and even longer than before.

Your hair deserves the best, and we’re here to provide it!

What Sets Our Hair Extensions Apart

Hair extensions should never look or feel like an add-on. The right approach creates something seamless, something that feels like it has always been yours. That is the standard we hold ourselves to with every guest who sits in our chair.

We only use the highest quality human remy hair extensions from our professional partner brands – that we have hand-picked after years of research across the hair industry that are selected for luxurious softness, lasting durability, and the ability to move naturally with your own hair. Color is custom-matched strand by strand. Every application is designed around your hair type, your goals, and your lifestyle. No shortcuts. No one-size-fits-all methods.

For those experiencing thinning hair or going through post-chemotherapy regrowth, we take extra care. Our team is trained in techniques that offer comfort, coverage, and long-term scalp health. Whether you need added fullness or a full restoration, your hair will look and feel like you, just a more confident version.

Who We Work With

We work with people who know exactly what they want, and with those who are still figuring it out. Many of our guests are professionals who need their hair to look polished from early meetings to evening events. Some are creatives who live in front of cameras. Others are navigating hair loss, often from medical treatment, stress, or hormonal shifts, and are looking for a fresh start that feels natural and personal.

Our guests come from all walks of life, across the gender spectrum, and every single one of them deserves to feel fully seen. Whether you’re preparing for a major appearance, recovering after chemotherapy, or simply ready for hair that reflects how you move through the world, you’re in the right hands.

This is about more than just hair. It’s about identity, self-trust, and the freedom to show up exactly as you are — and feel incredible doing it.
