Similarly, some wholesale hair stores have seen higher costs or are expecting them in the coming weeks. Even the typical $6 to $10 cost of a pack of synthetic hair has crept up.

Blackshear doesn’t want clients to bring hair because she likes to vet the quality. But if expenses continue to mount, she may have to raise her prices.
