cost of a weave?

[cheryl26]

hey everyone. i'm thinking of getting my first weave and was wondering how much it would cost for someone to put it in if i buy my own hair? i've included pics of my head and hair so yall can see my head size and amount of hair to be braided up. thanks

Prices vary greatly depending who does it. I've had some good full-head weaves for $100 but have heard of stylists charging upwards of $300- $500 for an install (not including the hair). My last one was free because a family member did it. You should definitely ask around for recommendations. Nothing is worse than a poorly done install. It will waste your money or possibly cause a setback.

it is usually $120 not including the cost of hair in my area. im cheap so i do them myself lol

Find someone who wears a GOOD weave regularly and ask them. Usually people who wear them all the time have a "hook-up." I recently got mine done by a girl who does them out of her house for only $70. She was so super professional and made sure I was pleased about everything and I found her through someone I attend church with who wears weave all the time.

Ask around your area to better gauge how much it is going to cost also ask to see pics of their work. How long are you planning on wearing the install? Also it is better to use good quality hair that doesn't matt or tangle up on you.

I used to live in Atlanta and I live and breathe by The Weave Shop (www.theweaveshop.com). They are an express weave only salon.
I would get full sew-ins w/a net for like $85! And that is a STEAL because now that I'm back up North I pay no less than $150 for a partial some hair left out.

yes their prices do look very reasonable. they even have one for $50. i live near the gulf but go to atl sometimes so hopefully i can stop by! i don't think there are many places that do weaves down here and i don't personally know anyone that wears one that i'd be comfortable asking. thanks a lot!
