Older properties with solid walls or limited access can make work more disruptive and expensive. For larger projects, expect to pay £170 to £425 for hair extensions (tape-in) in Melton. Material choices also make a significant difference to the total.

When getting quotes in Melton, aim for at least three from different qualified professionals. Ask each one to visit and assess the work rather than quoting over the phone.
