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.
More than a unit-price comparison.
The main buying differences between DuraSilk and a typical custom supplier.

Pricing uses the closest equivalent products and includes all known mandatory charges - not only the advertised unit price.
Where hidden costs come from.
Some suppliers charge separately to convert, digitize or prepare each logo. DuraSilk includes logo creation, cleanup and design support.
The lowest unit price may require a much larger order or several identical items. DuraSilk allows mixed orders starting from three pieces.
Two products aren't truly comparable if one is fully waterproof and bleach-proof while the other only offers basic splash resistance.
Small setup fees, logo charges and shipping can significantly change the amount paid at checkout.
The cheapest order isn't always the best-value order.
