Item descHair extension pricing at Studio 285 is customized because every client starts with a different amount of natural hair and has a different goal. Your total cost depends on the extension method, length, amount of hair needed, and your stylist.
For example, 18-inch fusion extensions start at $197 per pack for the hair, with installation starting at $135–$142 per pack. 22-inch fusion hair is $217 per pack.
For clients wanting significantly more length and fullness, we may recommend a customized combination of fusion extensions and Genius Wefts. 22-inch Genius Wefts are $780 per 100g, with installation starting at $135 per row. Most weft clients wear approximately 2–4 rows depending on their natural hair and desired result.
Because there is no one-size-fits-all extension price, the easiest way to get an estimate is our free text consultation.
Watch our quick consultation video, then text our front desk photos of your current hair along with inspiration photos showing the hair you want. Our front desk team will consult with one of our extension experts and can give you a ballpark estimate for the hair and installation you may need before you ever come into the salon.
Text consultations are free, easy, and have no obligation to purchase or book. text 706-945-0175.

How to Submit Photos for a Free Hair Extension Consultation
Studio 285 offers a free hair extension text consultation to help you find out what type, length, and amount of hair extensions you may need.
Follow these steps carefully. Good photos help our hair extension specialists see your natural hair color, length, and thickness so we can give you the best possible estimate.
You do not need to wear makeup or get ready for these photos. We do not need to see your face. We need to see your hair.
Step 1: Go Outside
Walk outside into natural daylight.
This step is very important. Natural light helps us see your true hair color.
Please do not send photos taken:
• In a bathroom
• Inside your home
• Under artificial lighting
• From social media
• With a filterIf your photos are taken inside or we cannot clearly see your hair color, we will ask you to take new photos outside.
Step 2: Bring Some of Your Hair to the Front
Once you are outside, bring some of your hair over your shoulder and to the front.
Let your hair hang naturally so we can see its true length and thickness.
Step 3: Take Your Side Photo
Hold your phone out to the side with your right or left hand, whichever feels most comfortable.
Keep your face looking straight forward. Do not turn your head toward the phone.
Take a photo from the side that shows your hair from the roots to the ends.
This is Photo 1: Your Side Photo.
Step 4: Take Your Back Photo
Keep your phone held out.
Now turn your face and body away from your phone so the camera can see the back of your hair.
Make sure we can see your hair from the roots to the ends.
Take the photo.
This is Photo 2: Your Back Photo.
You should now have two clear photos of your natural hair:
Photo 1: Side view
Photo 2: Back viewStep 5: Find an Inspiration Photo
Now find one photo of the hair you want.
Pinterest is a great place to look for hair inspiration.
Choose a photo that shows us the length, fullness, color, or overall look you would like to achieve with hair extensions.
This is Photo 3: Your Inspiration Photo.
Step 6: Text Us Your 3 Photos
Text all three photos to Studio 285 at 706-945-0175.
Please send:
1. Your side photo
2. Your back photo
3. Your inspiration photoYou can also text us anything else you think we should know about your natural hair, previous hair extensions, hair color, or the look you want to achieve.
What Happens After You Send Your Photos?
Our front desk team will review your information and consult with a Studio 285 hair extension specialist.
Based on your natural hair and your desired result, we can help determine the type of hair extensions, length, and amount of hair you may need.
We can also give you a ballpark estimate for the cost of your hair extensions and installation before you are seen in the salon.
We do hair extension consultations like this every day, so don't worry if you are not sure what type of extensions you need. That is what we are here to help you figure out.
Your hair extension text consultation is free and there is no obligation to book an appointment or purchase hair.

Studio 285 is a leading hair extension salon serving Augusta, Evans, Martinez, Grovetown, North Augusta, and the surrounding CSRA.
Studio 285 has specialized in professional hair extensions since 2008 and was one of the first salons to bring modern hair extension services to the Augusta area.
One thing that makes Studio 285 different is access to Salty Locks Hair Extensions, our professional extension company located right next to the salon. This gives our extension specialists access to a large, in-stock selection of premium European and Slavic Remy hair without relying on a small salon color ring.
Salty Locks offers more than 42 dimensional color blends, and the hair can also be professionally custom-colored when needed for an even more natural match.
Studio 285 offers many types of hair extensions, including:
• Fusion and K-Tip extensions
• Cold fusion extensions
• Genius Weft extensions
• Tape-in extensions
• Clip-in extensions
• Hair toppersOur salon team is trained in multiple extension methods because there is no single type of hair extension that is best for every person. The right method depends on your natural hair, density, lifestyle, desired length, and the result you want.
Studio 285 also offers free hair extension text consultations. You can send photos of your natural hair and an inspiration photo to our front desk. Our team will consult with an extension specialist to help determine the method, amount of hair, and approximate investment you may need before you come into the salon.

Studio 285 specializes in curly and naturally textured haircuts for clients in Augusta, Evans, Martinez, Grovetown, North Augusta, and the surrounding CSRA.
For curly haircuts, we recommend booking with Sabra Long or Brittany Harrington. Both work with curly and textured hair and understand that curls need to be cut differently than straight hair.
Your stylist will look at your natural curl pattern, texture, density, length, and hair goals before deciding how your hair should be shaped.
Whether you want to keep your length, add shape and movement, remove bulk, or make your natural curls easier to style, your haircut will be customized to your hair.
Not sure who to book with? Text Studio 285 at 706-945-0175 and our front desk can help match you with the right curly hair stylist.

For vivid hair color, we recommend booking with Senior Stylist Sabra Long or Bria Clay. Both specialize in creating bold, customized color using professional color lines including Davines and Pulp Riot.

• Pastel and soft fashion colors
• Rainbow and multi-color hair
• Vivid highlights and color blocking
• Custom mixed fashion shades
