Short answer: when a salon or distributor searches keratin tip hair extensions wholesale, the buying decision is not “what is a keratin tip?” — it is which tip shape to stock first, which Remy grade to lock on the quote, whether to start with a small batch or bulk, and how to request a sample and private label before the first larger order. Flat tip is often the first keratin-tip SKU salons stock because the thin flat rectangular plaques sit low under the hair and support re-order when Italian keratin and 100% Remy human hair stay consistent from sample to carton.
This guide is for salon owners, educators, distributors, and private-label sellers in the US, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, the Middle East, and Singapore. If you still need a bench QC checklist for flat tip packs, keep using our live wholesale flat tip salon buyer QC guide. This post picks up the next step: stocking keratin-tip wholesale inventory led by flat tip, comparing tip shapes only as the product page shows them, and sending a quote request you can compare. Specs stay inside what Hairwigso already publishes on its I-tip, U-tip & flat tip human hair wholesale page.
Why flat tip leads a keratin-tip wholesale stock list
Myth: “All keratin tips are the same. Buy the cheapest pack labeled fusion and fill the shelf.”
Ops truth: tip shape, hair grade, and reorder consistency decide whether clients come back and whether your next carton matches the last one. Flat tip uses thin flat rectangular keratin plaques for fusion installs. That silhouette is different from cylindrical I-tip rods and U-shaped crescents on the same Hairwigso tip page. Stocking starts with one primary tip shape your stylists actually install, then expands — not with three mixed packs that cannot be reordered as one SKU.
Hairwigso states its tip range uses 100% Remy human hair and Italian keratin for I-tip, U-tip, and flat tip. Flat Tip locks also describe Remy, 12A Virgin Unprocessed hair, chemical none, double drawn / super double drawn, longest hairs at least 55%, fusion attach, and that the hair can be permed. Those lines belong on the quote and the sample label, not only on a sales call.
Flat tip vs I-tip vs U-tip — stocking choices (PDP only)
Hairwigso sells all three tip shapes on one wholesale page. Use that page as the stocking map; do not invent bond millimeters, melt temperatures, or wear months.
- Flat tip: thin flat rectangular keratin plaques. Many salons stock this first when they want a low-profile fusion look and a clear plaque shape to QC on the bench.
- I-tip: cylindrical / stick keratin rods. Keep this short here — the manufacturer deep-dive belongs on the upcoming I-tip post; use I-tip only as a sister SKU when your installers already work that silhouette.
- U-tip: curved U / fingernail keratin bonds. Stock only when your menu and training already cover that crescent shape.
For a salon building its first keratin-tip wholesale line, lock flat tip shade and length on a sample, approve it, then decide whether I-tip or U-tip joins the same private-label run. Mixing tip shapes in one unlabeled carton is how reorders fail.
What Italian keratin and 100% Remy mean for re-orders
Wholesale buyers do not reorder “nice hair.” They reorder a written grade. On Hairwigso’s tip PDP, that grade is 100% Remy human hair with Italian keratin tips. Flat Tip product locks add 12A Virgin Unprocessed, no chemical processing listed, double drawn / super double drawn options, and fusion as the attach method.
- Ask every supplier to put Remy (and virgin/unprocessed if offered) on the invoice line, not only in chat.
- Ask that Italian keratin is named for the tip type you are buying (flat tip, not a mixed tip dump).
- Hold the approved sample next to the first bulk open — same plaque shape, same shade, same length measuring method.
If sample and bulk diverge, stop the reorder until the factory writes a correction. Our guide to the sample vs bulk quality trap explains why that pause protects salon and distributor margins.
Small batch vs bulk flat tip — how to quote both
Hairwigso offers bulk and small batch on the tip wholesale page, with a stated low MOQ (the page does not publish a number, so this article does not invent one). That split matters:
- Small batch: test three best-selling shades, one length, one tip shape (flat tip), before you commit floor space.
- Bulk: lock the approved sample SKU for distributor or multi-location salon reorders.
Ask for both quantities on the same quote so margin is visible before you list the product. Buyers searching bulk flat tip human hair extensions or flat tip keratin hair extensions wholesale usually already know the method — your RFQ must lock tip shape, grams or pack count, length, and color so those phrases map to one SKU.
Private label flat tip hair extensions
Hairwigso states custom order and private label are available on the tip line. If you sell under your own brand, ask what packing you can brand, what stays plain factory pack, and how private-label artwork changes the timeline. Private label flat tip hair extensions only work when the tip shape, hair grade, and shade list are fixed in writing before artwork is printed.

What to send in a keratin-tip wholesale quote request
Copy this list into your email or form. Comparable fields get comparable quotes for italian keratin flat tip extensions wholesale and sister tip SKUs alike. Do not invent bond mm, iron temperatures, or wear months — ask only what you can verify on a sample.
- Tip shape: flat tip (primary) / I-tip / U-tip — name one primary SKU per line
- Strand weight: state the strand weight you want on the quote (factory confirms what it can supply)
- Grams / pack count: total grams or pieces per pack, written the same way on sample and bulk
- Length: inches (or cm), and how length is measured from plaque to ends
- Color reference: shade number and/or reference photo under your salon light
- Private label: yes/no; packing notes if yes
- Sample first: yes — confirm the sample product fee on the quote (Hairwigso states a sample fee exists; amount is not published here)
- Hair grade: 100% Remy human hair; Italian keratin for the tip type ordered
- Quantity path: small batch trial quantity and expected bulk reorder
- Delivery: destination country; shipping is not free; ask for the 5–7 day style estimate for non-custom and the custom/private-label timeline
- Incoterms: who pays freight, duties, and insurance — use the ICC’s Incoterms rules so the quote names the term, not a chat promise
Hairwigso was founded in 2012; EVA is a co-founder with 14 years in the business; the company states 50+ staff, about 5K sq ft of manufacturing space, and annual sales of $6M on the tip PDP. Ask any factory for the same kind of plain written profile before you treat them as your long-term keratin-tip source.
Sample before the larger order
- Pay the sample fee stated on your quote. Hairwigso notes a sample product fee exists; this article does not invent the amount.
- Label the sample: tip shape (flat tip), shade, length, pack/grams, date.
- Plaque check: thin flat rectangular keratin — reject round rods or U-crescents sold as flat tip.
- Wash and comb the way your salon would for a client; note shedding and plaque integrity.
- Approve or correct in writing before small batch becomes bulk or private-label cartons.
Delivery for non-custom wholesale is commonly described as 5–7 days on the Hairwigso tip page; shipping is not free. Custom and private-label work takes longer — get both timelines on the quote.
FAQ
What should I stock first for keratin tip hair extensions wholesale?
Most salons stock flat tip first when they want a low-profile fusion plaque they can QC on the bench, then add I-tip or U-tip only if their install menu already uses those shapes. Lock Remy grade, Italian keratin, shade, and length on a sample before bulk.
Does Hairwigso offer small batch and bulk flat tip orders?
Yes. Hairwigso states bulk and small batch orders, custom order, private label, and a low MOQ on the tip wholesale page. Ask for your trial quantity and your reorder quantity on the same quote. Do not assume a numeric MOQ this page does not publish.
Is there a sample fee, and is shipping free?
Hairwigso states a sample product fee exists (amount confirmed on your quote) and that shipping is not free. Non-custom delivery is commonly within 5–7 days; confirm destination and Incoterms in writing.
Where do I send the flat tip RFQ?
Use the Hairwigso contact page with tip shape, strand weight, grams/pack, length, color reference, private label yes/no, sample first, buyer type, and delivery country — or start from the flat tip / I-tip / U-tip wholesale PDP and attach the checklist above.
What to do next
Pick flat tip as your primary keratin-tip SKU. Send the RFQ fields above with three shades and one length. Order one sample, check the plaques, and only then approve small batch, bulk, or private label.
