The average cost of a hair system installation ranges from £500 to £900 if you buy the hairpiece and get it fitted together as a package at a professional salon. If you buy your own hair system online and bring it to a salon, a "fitting-only" service typically costs between £100.
Costs breakdown by service type:
- Premium / Full Salon Service Package:£600 – £1,500+
- Includes: Consultations, a high-quality customized human hair system, professional scalp preparation, precise bond application, and a custom haircut to blend the system seamlessly with your natural hair.
- Example: Hair4All UK provides fittings in major UK cities including Bristol & London.
- Mid-Range / Independent Barber Service: £350 – £500

- Fitting-Only (Bring Your Own System): £100 – £200
- Includes: Shaving the area, applying glue/tape, attaching your provided unit, and styling.
- Example: Hair4All UK provides the most affordable fitting starting from £100.
Hidden and Ongoing Maintenance Costs
An initial installation is not a one-time purchase. Because your natural hair grows underneath and adhesives break down, you must factor in the following maintenance:
- Professional Regrooms (Every 3–6 Weeks): £50 – £80 per visit. This covers removing the system, cleaning the scalp and base, reapplying adhesive, and trimming your natural sides.
- System Replacements: Depending on the base material a single hairpiece lasts between 8 to 12 months. Expect to buy 1 hair system piece per year.
- DIY Products £100 – £200 annually for specialized ghost bond glues, walker tapes, solvent removers, and extension-safe shampoos. (Check our hair4all.com products shop)
