How Much Can You Save By Sourcing Hair Directly?
If you’re an extension stylist, you already know your biggest expense isn’t rent, labor, or product—it’s hair. And when you’re sourcing from overpriced, underperforming suppliers, the damage adds up fast.
So here’s the real question:
What would your business look like if you cut those hair costs by 30%, 40%, even 60%—without sacrificing quality?
At Glam.Is.On EDU, we teach stylists how to source directly from trusted suppliers in China and Russia—no middlemen, no mystery markups. And the savings? They’re not small.
Let’s break it down.
The Hidden Cost of Convenience
Most salon owners stick with the same supplier out of habit. But over time, the hair quality drops while prices quietly rise.
Here’s what that looks like in real numbers:
Average Install Cost with Brand Name Hair:
- Product: $750
- Stylist payout: $700
- Overhead: $500
- Total cost: $1,950
- Revenue: $2,145
- Profit: $195 (9%)
Average Install Cost After Glam.Is.On EDU:
- Product: $295
- Stylist payout: $700
- Overhead: $500
- Total cost: $1,495
- Revenue: $2,145
- Profit: $650 (30%)
That’s a $455 increase in profit per install.
Now imagine doing 8 installs per month.
That’s
$3,640/month in additional profit.
Still think sourcing doesn’t matter?
