Where do these prices come from?

They are read from the service menus businesses publish on their own websites — 283 individual priced lines across 93 businesses in Melbourne. They are not quotes, and businesses that publish pricing are not a random sample of the market.

How much do hair extensions cost in Melbourne?

Application, maintenance and removal, as priced by the salons that publish it. This page is the Melbourne cut of it.

The range in Melbourne

Lower quartile: $84
Midpoint: $150
Upper quartile: $330

Half of the hair extensions prices published in Melbourne sit between $84 and $330, with a midpoint of $150. That is drawn from 93 businesses in Melbourne that publish this pricing, as collected on 25 September 2026.

Against the rest of the country

The midpoint in Melbourne is within a few per cent of the national midpoint of $145, which is to say hair extensions here are priced about where they are priced everywhere else.

Why the range is so wide

The widest-spread category on this site after lightening work, and for a specific reason: most published lines are labour only, with the hair itself quoted separately or on consultation. A maintenance move-up and a full new installation therefore sit at opposite ends of the same category, and neither figure includes what the hair costs.

The other cities

Largest sample first. A city appears only where at least 25 businesses publish this pricing, because below that a single expensive salon moves the whole row.

What these numbers are, and are not

Every figure is computed from businesses’ own published service menus — 283 priced lines from 93 businesses in Melbourne, collected on 25 September 2026. None of it is typed in by hand.

A published price is not a quote. What you are charged depends on your hair, your skin and how long the appointment actually takes, and many businesses quote on consultation rather than publishing at all. Nationally, 510 businesses in our catalogue offer this service and 510 publish a price for it. The ones that publish are not a random sample of the ones that do not.
