The Most Important Hair Selling Guidelines

  • Never send your hair off before receiving payment
  • For maximum value and safety avoid cutting your hair before receiving payment.
  • Even if you have made a deal with a buyer, do not cut your hair until payment has been processed and cleared.
  • We strongly recommend using PayPal to receive the money for your hair sale. Ignore anyone offering cashier cheques, Western Union, MoneyGram or alternative payment methods and report them to HairSellon
  • Be accurate in your Ad description. The quality of human hair is obvious to hair buyers, misdescription means they will be refunded and you will have wasted your time and money sending the hair.
  • Test your email you signed up with to make sure you are receiving enquiries from HairSellon and they aren’t ending up in your spam folder!

3. Wait for Contact from Buyers
Once your hair is listed, buyers will be able to contact you through the HairSellon contact system, and you will be able to finalise a deal. Messages will go directly to the email inbox you signed up with.

You can reply to buyer messages directly from your email (make sure you are not replying to noreply@hairsellon). This means even if your advert expires on HairSellon you can carry on negotiations with buyers.
Please report any inappropiate messaging to Hairsellon

4. Sales, Payment, Cuting & Shipping
Once an agreement has been reached with a buyer we strongly recommend you use Paypal to handle transactions, this makes it much easier to handle any potential disputes. You can send an invoice directly to the buyers email address by using your PayPal account.
We advise holding on to a small portion of your hair in the unlikely case of any issues/disagreement with buyers down the line. It’s also worth taking a photo of the hair next to the packaging as further proof of condition when posted.

Before cutting make sure your hair is brushed and aligned properly.
-Secure the hair with elastic hair bands on both ends (one in the middle is also a good idea) and cut the hair in ponytail form if possible.
-Avoid disturbing the hair once cut, and package into an sealed bag/padded mailer to avoid any external dust or contaminants getting in.
-Send using a postal tracking number service so you have proof of postage and the buyer can track the delivery.

NEVER send your hair off to the buyer until the money is confirmed in your paypal account.
We also advise not to cut your hair off until you’ve received payment.

How Much is My Hair Worth?

The price of hair varies hugely and is dependent on the market at the time. It is graded by quality and length/weight. In terms of quality, highly cared for hair that hasn’t been dyed, or been subjected to ironing/curling or other treatments is worth much more.

Imperfections such as split ends would have to be cut off and the value will drop respectively, this is why accurate descriptions are so vital. One of the key factors in hair pricing is whether or not it can be classified as virgin hair, find out What is Virgin Hair?

We’ve recently launched a new tool called the Hair Price Calculator. This unique tool is designed to give you a personal quote for the value of your hair, taking the effort and confusement out of pricing.

Try out the Hair Calculator below. Remember; due to the individual nature of people’s hair, prices can only be estimates and often represent the maximum amount you could sell your hair for.
