A quote is not a feeling “nice hair”. It is a set of measurable things: how many centimetres will actually be cut, how many grams remain dry, how even the colour is, whether the fibre is whole.
Length of the cut, not the hairstyle
Longer hair is more expensive because a longer product can be made from it. Cutting “another five centimetres shorter because that is fashionable” is already a different price shelf. When it is worth waiting — in what to change in six months.
Weight without a “beauty comb-out”
Volos Store says hair is not combed out or trimmed “for a nicer number” before weighing. If a buyer works the other way, you learn it after the scissors. How not to agree to that — in the honest deal checklist.
Colour and chemistry
Untreated light hair is usually at the top of the corridor. One-colour dye is reviewed, not automatically equal to natural. Keratin, bleach, henna, extensions are a different conversation — often a refusal. Details: dyed and curly hair.
Condition
Care in the weeks before the cut changes this point, it does not magically add centimetres. The practical minimum is in preparing for the cut.
What to send
Send several photos: loose, gathered, with a ruler from the future cut. If the ponytail is already cut — on a table with a tape and separately on scales. How to frame that shot — in the measuring guide.
The payout corridor and the gap between a forecast and money on the card: how much you can get for hair.
