Question: I purchased your eBook on “How to Sell Hair Extensions´. I was hoping to find suppliers. In the back of the book, you said email if you need suppliers. Please send any reputable suppliers we may consider establishing a relationship with. Thank you very much for your assistance.
Finding good hair extensions suppliers is not easy, and indeed we have some good hair suppliers we work with for a couple of years. Hair extensions suppliers that have the interest of the client as number one. So, no suppliers looking for one deal, but hair suppliers interested in a long-term relation.
But if you prefer to find you own suppliers, you can follow this path.
How to find your best Hair Vendor
The hair you sell is the best asset you can have; with good quality hair you will get a lot of loyal clients. So, it is important to allocate enough time fining hair extension suppliers.
hair vendor list
On the internet you can purchase so called hair vendor listings. A list with contact details of hair vendors. These hair vendors should supply hair and wigs at wholesale conditions. This means at a price you can resell the hair but also with other interesting conditions as fast shipping or the possibility to let the hair vendor design the hair for you. If you want tailor made hair pieces, you need a hair vendor that can create this. When you have a middleman, in most cases they are not able to provide tailor made hair pieces.
When you search the internet for hair vendors list, it is difficult to see the level of research the seller of the hair vendor list has done. You can pay up to hundred of dollars and end up with a list that is not more then the result of a google search on the internet. You need to be sure these vendors are serious. That is the reason you pay money for it.

Your own research on hair extensions suppliers
When you planned to invest some money in a vendor list, you can also put some money aside to test the hair suppliers you find on the internet. Or sometimes even nearby. Only when you have tested and perhaps even installed the hair you know what the best for your ideal client is.
To support you doing your own research please look at the 40 plus questions we prepared you can ask the hair vendors. These questions will help you to get a good understanding, not only about the hair, but also about the service they provide and the shipping and payment conditions.
You can search for hair suppliers abroad, in the countries of origin or manufacturing, or for wholesale companies in your own country. Be aware of the payment and shipping charges or import duties that you might have to pay when you buy abroad. The hair your buy abroad should be cheaper and allow you to compensate the shipping and import duties, plus a good margin.
Pitfalls when buying hair overseas
Buying hair overseas is a matter of trust. You will have to transfer an amount of money before the vendor will ship the hair. This means you must pay and wait a couple of days or even longer before you get the hair. You will check the track and trace number every day. When is the hair arriving? When finally, the parcel with the hair has arrived, you must test the content. Does it smell good, is the water clean when I wash it and how is the texture. Too bad there are always sellers who sell bad hair. And you will have to pay for it, because when you use payment providers like western union, there is little to no chance you get your money back.
It is all understandable, the hair vendor has the same fear. When they use PayPal, with buyer’s protection, they can ship the hair and receive a complaint even if they know they shipped the best hair. They will lose the hair and the money.
So how to deal with this trust issue. Please do ask enough questions, check the internet for the website of the hair supplier, check if they are also registered on platforms like Alibaba or Ali express. Place a small order first and slowly build up the relationship and larger orders.
