Hair extensions are one of the highest-value services we offer at Iron + Ivy — and one of the most common questions we get is about pricing. Transparency matters to us, so here’s an honest breakdown of what extensions cost in Queenstown and what you’re actually paying for.
What Affects the Cost of Extensions?
Several factors influence the final price of your extensions:
Method: Different application methods have different time and material costs. Tape-in extensions, weft extensions, and nano ring extensions all have different price points.
Hair volume and length: The amount of extension hair needed varies significantly depending on how much length and volume you want to add, and how thick your natural hair is.
Hair quality: At Iron + Ivy we use only premium, ethically sourced 100% Remy human hair. This means your extensions look, feel, and behave like real hair — because they are. Lower-quality synthetic or non-Remy hair is cheaper, but it doesn’t blend as well and won’t last as long.
Colour matching: If your hair needs to be colour matched or blended with balayage on the extensions, this adds to the time and material cost.
Approximate Pricing Guide
In Queenstown, tape-in extensions typically start from around $600 for a partial set and can reach $1,200+ for a full, long set with colour matching. Weft extensions often start from $800 and go up depending on hair volume and complexity. These are rough guides — your exact quote will depend on your consultation.
Don’t Forget Maintenance
Extensions are a long-term investment that requires ongoing maintenance every 6–10 weeks depending on the method. Factor this into your budget when considering extensions — it’s part of keeping your investment looking beautiful.
