Tape extensions are popular because they are applied quickly, blend invisibly and can be reused. But how much do tape extensions really cost? The total cost consists of the price of the hair, salon application, periodic move-ups and care. At Luxury for Princess, you choose 100% Remy human hair in salon quality. Each set contains 10 pre-taped wefts measuring 55 cm - 50 grams per set - which you can reuse several times with new tape tabs. Below you will find a clear cost estimate and practical calculation tips, so you know exactly what to expect. Also see Tape extensions: prices and range for the latest product prices.

How many sets do you need?
Luxury for Princess tape extensions come in sets of 10 wefts - 50 grams - 55 cm. Guideline:
- Volume only for fine to normal hair - 1 to 2 sets.
- Length and volume for fine to normal hair - 2 to 3 sets.
- Thicker or a lot of hair, or extra length - 3 to 4 sets.
Pro tip: it is better to choose the right quantity all at once. Too few wefts create a visible transition and often lead to additional costs later.
Salon or DIY - which is more affordable?
Applying them yourself can initially save on labor costs, but the risk of slipping, uneven application, or unnecessary tension on the hair is greater. For the best and most durable result, have tape extensions applied and moved up professionally. If you want to make small corrections between appointments, use a tape extension remover and fresh tape tabs. Luxury for Princess provides salon-quality hair, a 12-month product guarantee, and fast delivery, plus tools and advice to help you maintain your extensions properly.

Maintenance: save money without compromising on quality
- Schedule your move-up on time - every 6–8 weeks keeps the adhesive grip secure and prevents slipping.
- Keep oil and conditioner away from the roots - use nourishing products only on the lengths.
- Use gentle, sulfate-free products - this helps the tape stay attached and makes the hair last longer.
- Reuse the hair with new tape tabs for reapplication - this significantly reduces your cost per month of wear.
- Choose the right color and quantity - this helps prevent extra trimming or correction appointments.
Frequently asked questions
How long do tape extensions last?
With proper care, the hair itself can last through several move-up cycles. Plan a move-up every 6-8 weeks. Because you reuse the hair and only replace the tape, your cost per month of wear decreases after the initial application.
How much do tape-ins cost at the hairdresser?
This varies by salon, hair length, and number of sets. As a market indication, application often costs around €80 - €200 and a move-up around €85 - €235. The cost of the hair is additional. Always request a personalized quote in advance.
Do tape extensions damage my hair?
When applied correctly, moved up on time, and cared for properly, tape extensions do not damage your hair. Avoid oil at the roots, brush with an extension brush, and have a professional handle the application and move-up.
What are the best hair extensions for thin hair?
Tape extensions are often the best choice for thin to normal hair because the wefts lie flat and blend discreetly. Luxury for Princess offers invisible tape-ins that blend seamlessly into fine hair for a natural result.
