Sell your hair in Switzerland – Hair purchase for your ponytail

Earn money with your healthy hair ponytail – if it is of interest to us.

Of interest from 35 cm (the longer, the better)
The lighter, the better (natural colours preferred)
Important: We are not obliged to make an offer
Between CHF 50.– and CHF 500.–

Important rule: We only respond to requests that are of interest to us. If you do not receive a reply within 7 days, we are not interested in your hair ponytail.

Why sell your hair?

Do you live in Switzerland (or the EU) and are planning to cut your long, healthy hair soon? We purchase selected hair ponytails that are used to produce high-quality extensions. You decide whether you cut the ponytail yourself or have it cut professionally.

Important: We do not make flat-rate offers. Whether and at what price a ponytail is suitable for us depends on length, colour, condition and usability.

How our hair purchase works

In 4 steps:

Tie your hair into a ponytail
Take proper photos (ponytail + ruler, scale if applicable)
Submit the hair purchase form
If of interest: offer & further steps

Note: We only get in touch if we want to purchase the ponytail. No response within 7 days = no interest.

Very important: only the right photos lead to a good offer

To fairly assess the value of your hair, we need clear photos of the tied ponytail with length indication. Please do not send photos of loose hair. Loose hair cannot be reliably evaluated.

✅ What we need

Photo of the tied ponytail (whether still on the head or already cut)
A clearly readable ruler (ruler or measuring tape) directly next to the ponytail
If the ponytail is already cut: additionally a photo on a scale with clearly visible weight

Tip: Tie the ponytail tightly and neatly. The clearer the photos, the faster and more accurately we can assess whether your ponytail is of interest to us.

❌ Please DO NOT send

Photos of loose hair
Spread-out / fanned hair
Photos without a ruler
Blurry images or poor lighting

Important: If the photos are not suitable, we usually do not respond. No response within 7 days = no interest.

This is how the ponytail must be tied for cutting.
If you have a lot of hair, divide it into several ponytails.
This reduces length differences within one ponytail and allows more of the hair to be reused.

For a price estimate, we require the length and weight of the ponytail. Make sure to attach clear photos to the form.
