Salon buying is different from retail buying β€” you are optimising for install time, client retention and rebooking, not just unit price.

The Core Salon Stock List

  • Remy tape-ins in three natural shades and two lengths.
  • Wefts with the cuticle intact and no prior chemical processing for clients who colour or lift, specified in writing, since letter grades such as 13A are vendor labels, not a standard.
  • One blonde base (#613) to tone in-house rather than reorder per client.
  • A small clip-in range for retail add-on sales.

Colour Matching Without Overstocking

Hold natural bases and tone in-house. Stocking every fashion shade ties up cash and ages inventory. A #613 base plus a good toner line covers most blonde requests; for lifting, what matters is unprocessed hair with the cuticle intact, not a letter grade.

Per-Client Margin Maths

Charge separately for hair and for labour. Bundling them hides your service value and makes price increases harder. A typical structure marks hair up 1.7x–2.2x on landed cost and prices labour at your standard hourly rate plus maintenance rebooking.

All buyer types we quote for

Can I buy hair extensions, wigs and bundles for personal use, not wholesale?

Yes. Suvita Hair is a manufacturer and exporter based in India and we accept personal-use orders from 1 piece. Personal-use buyers are quoted retail-use pricing with colour matching support and door-to-door express delivery worldwide. Select "Personal Use" when you enquire so we send the correct price list.

What is the minimum order quantity for wholesale hair extensions, wigs and bundles?

Wholesale pricing starts from 20 pieces, with deeper volume slabs at 50 and 100+ pieces. Distributors ordering 100+ pieces or committing to monthly shipments receive our best per-piece manufacturer rate. Order a sample first to verify quality before confirming a bulk order.

Do you offer salon pricing for stylists?

Yes. Salons, extension studios and freelance stylists buying roughly 5–20 pieces per order receive a dedicated salon slab with mixed length and texture packs, batch-to-batch colour consistency and priority reorders.

Do you supply distributors and private-label brands?

We supply importers and distributors with territory pricing, reserved monthly production slots and complete export documentation (invoice, packing list, HS code, certificate of origin). For private-label brands we manufacture under your label with custom packaging, branded tags and hang cards from 50 pieces per SKU.

Are you a manufacturer or a reseller?

Suvita Hair is a direct manufacturer and exporter of 100% Remy human hair, producing raw, virgin and Remy hair at our facility in Delhi, India, with active buyers in 23 countries. Buying from us removes middlemen mark-ups for every buyer type β€” retail, salon, wholesale, distributor and private-label.

Expert Answers (FAQ)

Q:What hair grade is best for salon installs?

A:
Choose by definition, not by letter: grades such as 12A or 13A are vendor labels, not a standard. For clients who colour or lift, ask for hair with the cuticle intact and no prior chemical processing; for fuller ends, ask for double drawn.

Q:Can salons buy hair extensions at wholesale prices?

A:
Yes. Suvita Hair has no minimum order; wholesale list pricing starts at 1.5 kg and volume pricing at 5 kg, so a salon can start small and move up.

Q:Which extension method is most profitable for a salon?

A:
Keratin and I-tip installs carry the highest ticket per client, while tape-ins generate more frequent rebookings. Many salons run both to balance revenue and chair time.

Q:Should salons stock blonde extensions?

A:
Stock a #613 base and tone in-house instead of holding many fashion shades. It reduces dead inventory and gives faster turnaround for colour clients.
