Tape-In Hair Extensions NYC

What are tape-in extensions?

Tape-in extensions are thin wefts of human hair taped around small sections of your own hair. They lie flat to the scalp, which makes them the least visible method under fine or straight hair. At our Upper East Side studio they run $730 for 16–18 inches and $950 for 22–26 inches for application; hair is charged separately.

Tape-in extensions are thin, pre-taped wefts of human hair sandwiched around small sections of your own hair. They sit flat against the head, which is what makes them the least visible method under fine or straight hair. No heat, no glue guns, no braiding.

Because the weft lies flush to the scalp, tape-ins are usually the first method we suggest for clients who want length or volume without anything to feel or hide.

Who are tape-in extensions best for?

• Fine or thin hair that would show a bulkier attachment
• Straight and lightly wavy textures
• Anyone who wants length or fullness with nothing detectable to the touch
• Clients new to extensions who want a lower-commitment first method

If your hair is very dense, very curly, or you are covering thinning at the crown, a different method may hold better. We will tell you that at the consultation rather than after.

How much do tape-in extensions cost in NYC?

Published, and the same for everyone. Prices cover application; hair is charged separately, based on the length and amount your install needs:

• 16–18 inches — $730
• 22–26 inches — $950
• Retaping — $40
• Removal — $60

We price by length rather than by piece count, because the number of wefts depends on your hair density and how much coverage you want. Your consultation confirms the figure before anything is ordered or applied.

How often do tape-in extensions need maintenance?

Tape-ins grow out with your own hair and are moved back up to the root periodically. That appointment is the retape above. Between visits they are washed, brushed, heat-styled and slept in like your own hair, with a few small habits we go through with you at the first fitting.

What hair do you use?

We work in Remy human hair and colour-match to your own. Matching is done in person, against your hair, in daylight — not from a swatch chart or a photograph.

Book a consultation

Consultations are free and there is no obligation to book an install. We look at your hair density, length, lifestyle and budget, and tell you honestly what will work and what will not.
