Despite every hair manufacturer’s claim that they sell the most incredible, perfect hair extensions, this is just marketing fluff. First, many good and bad hair extension stores exist in the USA, China, and France. <\/p>\n

So, instead of discussing our hair extensions, we have decided to do something drastically different. Let\u2019s talk about good hair extension brands. Be it clip-in and tape-in companies or other fusion types, including our competitors. Finally, we firmly believe that every individual deserves beautiful hair. Some are blessed with long locks, while others rely on hair extensions. These beliefs are rooted deep inside us! You don\u2019t have to buy hair extensions from us because there are many other stores around you.<\/p>\n

In just a few years, we will celebrate 25 years in the hair business. Indeed, we know this market, and you\u2019d better be sure that we also learn about our competitors\u2014where their hair comes from, what suppliers they use, etc. <\/p>\n

Please note there aren\u2019t that many great brands to begin with. A rating of around 7\/10 indicates good quality and is way above the industry average of 5. What we\u2019ve found is that women rarely praise extensions but will always submit a complaint. There are ten times as many 1* reviews as 5*.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

1 <\/span>Luxy Hair<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Luxy is going to be at the top of the best brand lists. They are the pioneers of high-quality hair extensions. You must pay for the brand and quality, as none of their extensions come cheap. Luxy is one of the best clip-in hair extension brands if budget isn\u2019t your concern.<\/p>\n

Also, since Luxy is mainly known for clip-in extensions that tend to experience minor damage, reviews are primarily favorable. Most worthy, other wefts women wear daily, while clip-ins might be applied on average once or twice a month. Another key factor for mostly positive reviews is hair lifetime. In other words, it is extended due to infrequent washes.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>AiryHair<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"AiryHair<\/p>\n

AiryHair is genuinely one of the best hair extension brands for tape-in and clip-in hair extensions. Hair quality is identical, regardless of attachment type. These words don\u2019t just come from the marketing department. Instead, it\u2019s all about customer reviews, support service, and return terms.<\/p>\n

Unlike Luxy, we haven\u2019t seen much interaction with other hair extension stores. A customer leaves a negative review, and they are out. Luxy and AiryHair, on the other hand, try to make things right. The same goes for return terms; they are the friendliest of all hair stores. Furthermore, AiryHair also accepts custom hair orders.<\/p>\n

In late 2022, they introduced a new type of premium product called “Black Label”<\/strong><\/a>, with early reviews rating them higher than even Luxy.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Irresistible Me<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Irresistible Me is more than just a hair extensions brand. They have been producing quality wigs and hair tools for a few years (if not more). I do enjoy their consumer-friendly return policy, at least for US citizens. In addition to that, they will not charge you any ridiculous restocking fees like another highly-rated, well-regarded hair extension brand. For some reason, though, they never took off.<\/p>\n

Sadly, they are not listed on Google Maps, which I think is the hardest place to do fake reviews.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Bellami Hair<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Like Titanic, everyone will sooner or later find out about Bellami Hair. We\u2019ve heard about their quality and great reviews in the past, but 2024 does not look that good. Upon reading many posts from their users on sites, we were left with mixed feelings. Maybe it was just a coincidence; other sites have much better reviews.<\/p>\n

I am sure many clients swear by Bellami Hair extensions. However, seeing recent reviews gives me limited confidence. Should you ignore them? No, just be sure to read their less-than-friendly return terms.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Glam Seamless<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Another popular hair extensions brand on Instagram and all social media. With over 188k followers and YouTube videos, their presence is undeniable. Minus the return terms, their brand appears to be in the top 3. Now, what about hair quality? Hair reviews are pretty good, especially on Google Maps. In addition to that, their color and length selection is also one of the best, while pricing is decent.<\/p>\n

Like many other brands, it also offers a color match service, perfect for new hair buyers.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Zala<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Zala has been around for many years and is considered one of the better brands for tape-in and clip-in hair extensions. Most of the consumer reviews online have been positive. However, third-party sites paint a different picture. Lastly, Zala has gained a lot of followers with its social media and influencer campaigns.<\/p>\n

So, while I wouldn\u2019t count on YouTube reviews to be all that honest, check other places, such as TrustPilot. Another word of caution: if a well-known brand is unlisted on many review sites, there is a reason for that. Would you want your company removed if it had mostly positive reviews? <\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Donna Bella Hair<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Donna Bella claims to use Indian hair that is then processed in China, which I have doubts about. However, no matter what they do, customers love or used to love Bella Hair. Their brand has been among the best-rated for 2017 and early 2018. <\/p>\n

What about 2024? For reasons beyond our comprehension, they are now rated 1 out of 100 by close to 100 women on the Reseller Ratings website. Everyone is shocked by Donna Bella’s quality, and dozens of reviews show that. Keep that in mind. <\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Unice Hair<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

While only TrustPilot ratings were available at the time of writing, the BBB has around 120 complaints<\/strong><\/a> about Unice Hair. The Google review ratings we picked were from their store in Culver City. They do have more than one location. I enjoy their return policy; there’s a way for the seller to avoid paying the shipping fee in case the wrong item comes or there is an issue with the quality.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Sally Beauty<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Sally Beauty is one of the best-known brands, but is it any good? The summaries below give you a good idea. For our Google reviews, we’ve picked the closest store in Chicago. While Sally accepts other item returns, hair extensions are said to be nonreturnable for hygienic reasons.<\/p>\n

Should You Trust Reviews?<\/h3>\n

\"Should<\/p>\n

The best recommendations will always come from your friends. Likewise, these trustworthy individuals have no reason to lie to you. However, it would be best to be cautious about video reviews from so-called influencers and speaking about them…<\/p>\n

YouTube Reviews<\/h4>\n

Often, products are given for free to these personalities, and they have no choice but to tell them how great hair extensions are. That\u2019s the truth. We\u2019ve seen fake reviews from competitors, women that will praise anything as long as you give them a product, etc.<\/p>\n

AiryHair has been in business for years, and the number of emails we received offering to do a paid video review is insane. Funnily enough, the more subscribers these people have, the higher the probability of a non-genuine review. No, we are not saying that every YouTube star is like that, but it\u2019s just human nature. Why?<\/p>\n

If you were a business, would you rather pay someone to do a positive review or take a risk (assuming viewers don\u2019t know the truth)? If you were running a YouTube channel, would you get more interest from companies by offering guaranteed\/positive reviews or genuine and uncertain reviews?<\/p>\n

Text Reviews<\/h4>\n

Recently, Amazon identified thousands of fake reviews on its site and is taking appropriate action. The sad reality is that everyone does that.<\/p>\n

We know more than one company that spends $20,000 \u2013 $50,000 \/ year on said reviews alone. Why so many? Imagine seeing a pretty cool product with 5 out of 5 positive reviews. Now imagine seeing the same product (at least in terms of features) but with over 200 positive reviews. Assuming the price is identical, which one would you buy?<\/p>\n

Should You Trust Top 10 Lists?<\/h3>\n

I can\u2019t speak for everyone, but we were offered a spot on a famous site covering this topic\u2014more than once and all for the decent price, of course, which we kindly refused. We don\u2019t believe in paid reviews or paid placements. The truth will eventually come out, one way or another. Hopefully, other magazine editors loved our hair and genuinely wanted to include AiryHair, not just trying to make a quick buck.<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t trust anyone these days. That\u2019s the sad truth. So, what’s our advice? Just select a hair store with a decent return policy.<\/p>\n
