To start a hair extension business, you need to pick a product and find a manufacturer, build your brand, and market your company. Hair extensions are extremely popular, and finding a great business model can help your business flourish.

1. Pick a product and find a manufacturer

   It is important to plan out beforehand whether you want to use real human hair or use synthetic hair. Then, you need to find a manufacturer who produces these hair extensions for you.

2. Obtain permits and licenses

   An important part of starting any business is making sure that you are in line with all laws and regulations. To sell anything in the United States, you need to hold various permits. Be sure to look into what is required in your area, and obtain those before you open your business so you do not run into any legal troubles.

3. Build you brand

   Due to the saturation of the hair extension market, it is crucial for you to have a distinct look and feel for your hair extension brand. You want to be able to seamlessly combine a new, creative brand with current market trends to be successful.

4. Market your company
