Compare the real cost

What does a custom salon order actually cost?

A low advertised price doesn't always mean a lower total. Compare the product, branding fees, minimum quantities, shipping and protection level before deciding.

Why totals differ

Where hidden costs come from.

Logo preparation

Some suppliers charge separately to convert, digitize or prepare each logo. DuraSilk includes logo creation, cleanup and design support.

Minimum quantities

The lowest unit price may require a much larger order or several identical items. DuraSilk allows mixed orders starting from three pieces.

Product protection

Two products aren't truly comparable if one is fully waterproof and bleach-proof while the other only offers basic splash resistance.

Setup and shipping

Small setup fees, logo charges and shipping can significantly change the amount paid at checkout.
