Hair Accessories Pricing and Costs

Finding hair accessory distributors that fit your business budget

By Michelle Cramer
Hair accessories are a must for any salon, women’s clothing store or children’s retail store. Ladies love to use hair accessories as the finishing touch to a hair style or outfit. They provide decoration in addition to functionality. Providing a selection of everything from hair ties to headbands, to hair claws and hair extensions can help boost your business income.

There is a vast array of different sizes, styles and colors of hair accessories to choose from. Making a decision can be difficult, but it’s important to consider hair accessories pricing and costs when determining which products to offer to your customers. Keep the following in mind as you peruse through the possibilities:

1. Hair clips, ties and headbands are inexpensive but stylish hair ornaments.

2. Girls’ hair accessories in stock can get parents in the door.

3. Extensions are a popular hair accessory that all salons should provide.

 

Purchase wholesale hair accessories

Must-have accessories include banana clips, headbands, barrettes, hair ties and hair clips wholesale items. These are hair accessories that practically every female uses for ease of function and style. Buying such items in bulk or through a wholesaler can make things a lot easier and cheaper.
Try: Find a variety of headbands, hair ties and other hair ornaments, ranging from $2 to $70, from the Sugar Network's Shop Style website. Browse the many categories at LongHairGirl, such as barrettes from $6 to $70, hair claws from $8 to $166, ponytail holders from $2.50 to $29 and headbands from $8 to $50.

Stock up on sparkling hair accessories for girls

Little girls (and their mommies) love to put beautiful accessories in their hair. The dainty items made for little girls, with rhinestones, sparkles and bright colors, provide a sense of being grown up or help the world to know that mommy is towing a baby girl on her hip.
Try: Lil’ Sugarplum’s baby hair clips start at $8 each, but sign up to become a wholesaler to sell their merchandise in your retail store and you will receive discounts on bulk purchases. Purchase girls’ hair accessories in packages of six for $6.50 to $9 per set from EverythingTights.

Extend hair length with short hair accessories

Many women who have shorter hair are anxious for it to grow out again or are unhappy with their new short hairdo. That's why it's a good idea for salons to carry a variety of hair extensions to make available to their clients. The extensions need to match the client's hair color as closely as possible, so it's a good idea to obtain a large selection of colors and lengths. Keep in mind that you will also need to have plenty of application tools and glue on hand to complete the process.
Try: Purchase KeraTip extensions from Vision Hair Extensions at $59 to $64 per ounce (approximately 40 strands of hair). They also have application tools from $7 to $50. Beauty West Services offers a variety of hair extension lengths, colors and textures from $11 to $88. Click on Tools and Swatches in the left navigation bar for a variety of application tools, ranging from $6 to $300.
