Buying Wholesale as a Stylist
We sell to licensed stylists and cosmetology students only. No retail, no direct to consumer, and nothing your client can buy behind your back.
Who we sell to
Wefts and Waves is wholesale only. Accounts are for licensed cosmetologists and cosmetology students, and trade pricing sits behind a pro account so your clients never see what you pay. We do not sell to the public, which means the install stays yours.
What we stock
Hand tied wefts, hybrid wefts, K-tips and tape ins, all 100% human hair, in over twenty shades carried across the range. Tape ins are sold by the single sandwich rather than the pack, so you buy what the head needs instead of what the box holds.
Shade matching before you commit
Our shades carry names rather than numeric codes, which is easier in the chair and harder from a screen. The color ring puts over twenty of those shades in real hair on a single ring, so you match against your client’s hair in your own salon light rather than guessing from a photograph.
Built to last
With proper care, our hair lasts 9 months to well over a year. What shortens it is usually what happens at home: shampoo with Sodium Lauryl Sulfate or Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Olaplex, too much purple shampoo, or heat on the band.
Common questions
Can anyone buy hair extensions from Wefts and Waves?
No. Wefts and Waves sells wholesale to licensed cosmetologists and cosmetology students only. There is no retail or direct to consumer option, and wholesale pricing is only visible once a pro account has been approved.
Do I need a cosmetology license to open a wholesale hair extension account?
Yes. A pro account with Wefts and Waves requires a cosmetology license, or proof of current enrollment if you are a cosmetology student. This keeps trade pricing out of reach of your own clients.
What hair extension methods does Wefts and Waves carry?
Wefts and Waves carries hand tied wefts, hybrid wefts, K-tip keratin bond extensions and tape in extensions, all in 100% human hair. Tape ins are sold individually by the sandwich rather than in fixed packs.
How do I match a hair extension shade without seeing it in person?
Use a color ring, not a screen. Our ring has over twenty shades in real hair. Hold it against her hair under your own lights. Shades look cooler on a screen than they do in the salon.
