Issac charges me $350, not including the hair, and that usually includes 100 to 120 braids, about 2/3 to 3/4 of the way up my head. And the process takes him about 3 hours.

Now I'm not one of these greedy extensionists, so I try to base my prices so that I can make $400 per day, whether it's an 8 hour day or a 12 hour day. 

Amen!

i'm having a full head of pinchbraids put in tomorrow. she's charging me $250 plus the cost of the hair (which i have purchased on my own, otherwise, she doubles the price of the hair, which she gets from hisandher.com)...she said it will take 6-8 hours. she is hairpolice certified. she told me a client had her extensions done by the creator of hairpolice once upon a time and then went to the stylist i am going to, and the client said my stylist was better than the creator, and she charges less. also, she charges $150 for maintenance visits and no charge for removal.

Thanks everyone!

Sara, just wanted to let you know my clients are enjoying your Plastik Haar very much, and like it better than human hair!

Rae, why don't you charge more than $200?  You do awesome work, and for a full day's work, you should be pulling in more than $200 per day. 

Now I'm not one of these greedy extensionists, so I try to base my prices so that I can make $400 per day, whether it's an 8 hour day or a 12 hour day.

I charge $200 without hair for a full head, which usually takes me around 7 hours. (I am slooooow.) I'm not an HP affiliate, though- I think you'll find that stylists that are affiliates charge about $300 minimum.

kris does a full head for me in 4 hours, he has been doing it 7 years. he charges around $300 w/o hair. awesome blending

dollylocks charged me $700 with hair that was supposedly 24" 'best hair'
( i measured it later it was 18") she took 9 hours bad blending

animeamazon charged me 150 plus hair 7 hours ok blending

jenna charged me 60$ hour medium paced (only did partial head)

kris is my fave.best value for money, imo.

I want to start offering pinch braids, and so for those of you who either do it professionally or get it done, what is the going rate for a full head of pinch braids and how much time does it take to install it?

 Thanks!
