Hair Extension Manufacturer in Turkey: What We Make, and How to Check It

SACH & VOGUE HAIR manufactures human hair extensions in Fethiye, Muğla, Türkiye. This page is written so the claim can be tested rather than believed: which operations happen here, which things we do not do in-house, the one characteristic we have measured and the longer list we have not, and the checks a buyer can run on us or on any supplier in any country. It publishes no minimum order, lead time, capacity figure, certification or price, because each of those is an output of a specification rather than a property of a company. What replaces them is the reasoning that sets them, so you can hold the same conversation with any producer you are considering.

WhatsApp consultation Talk to the manufacturer

A professional buyer arriving at a supplier site is asking one question before any other, usually without writing it down: is there a factory behind this, or a company that buys finished goods and puts its name on the box. Both are legitimate businesses and both use the same word, so manufacturer in a heading settles nothing.

We manufacture in Fethiye, Muğla. Rather than assert that at length, this page publishes what a buyer needs in order to check it: the operations that happen in this building, the ones that do not, the single measurement we have taken, the longer list we have not, and the terms we decline to publish along with the reason. A supplier's refusals are more informative than its claims, claims being free.

Short answer

Factory or trader is the first question, and it deserves to be asked directly

Most buyers infer the answer from something else — minimum order, price, how quickly a sample appears — on the theory that asking outright is impolite. It is not. A producer hears an ordinary commercial question and answers in specifics.

Reselling is real work. A trading company carries inventory risk, holds mixed stock, and breaks bulk into quantities no production schedule would accept. The distinction is not honesty but information: a trader knows what arrived, a producer knows what was decided.

That shows in four places, each testable in a single email. A producer explains why a process decision was made rather than what the product is called; answers a specification question with a limit attached — a quantity, a condition, a lead time, or a no; shows a named step of production on request rather than a showreel; and says what it does not do in-house.

The fourth inverts the usual signal. Nobody does everything: raw hair is collected by other people, chemistry is formulated by specialist manufacturers, freight is moved by carriers. Naming the outsourced steps is evidence of a real operation with real boundaries. A reseller cannot produce that list, because all of it is outsourced.

Separate from trade type is where a company actually operates, which is a matter of fact. Some sellers present a location they do not operate from. That happens in every sourcing country, it concerns one named company rather than any nationality, and the check is identical everywhere, including on us. The generic version is on the Turkey page.

The operations that happen here, and the ones that do not

We manufacture human hair extensions. Raw hair is received and sorted by length and root direction, since everything downstream depends on the bundle running one way. It is drawn to the standard the order specifies, Double Drawn being the one we prefer. Colour is processed where the shade is not the base the hair arrived on, and batches are blended where a shade has more than one component. The hair is then prepared into its attachment system, weighed and packed.

Method preparation is where the work becomes system-specific: a strand system is divided into units and a tip formed on each one individually, which is why the count rather than the weight sets the labour. Nanofilament is our flagship, strand-based, in 0.3 g and 0.6 g per-strand options; it is not a nano-ring product and shares no mechanism with ring systems despite the prefix. Micro is our individual bonded strand system, bonded with Italian keratin, and Butterfly Tape-In sits in the tape-in family. Mechanism is on the methods page.

Custom work is normal rather than exceptional, and an honest answer to a custom request takes one of four shapes: yes; no; yes at a quantity; yes with a lead time. A supplier who only ever returns the first shape has not checked.

Below is what does not happen in this building: the list a reseller cannot produce, and the boundary inside which our answers are worth something. Anything else specific to your line, ask, and we will name it before you order. What the material terms mean mechanically is on the hair extensions page.

Why a company that both manufactures and understands fitting answers these questions differently from one that does only one of them is set out on the about page.

Collection of raw hair — bought from suppliers and agents. We did not witness collection and claim no unbroken chain back to a head
Formulation of chemistry — the keratin compound is bought to a specification from a specialist manufacturer, Italian keratin for Micro. We specify it; we do not make it
Application — we do not run a salon or fit hair commercially, so we publish no chair-hour figures
Freight and customs clearance — carriers and brokers, whose performance we will not guarantee here
Independent testing and certification — nobody has assessed our goods on our behalf

Where we are, in terms that can be checked against a document

Taşyaka Mah., Ölüdeniz Caddesi (TSK), No: 45/1, Fethiye / Muğla, 48300, Türkiye. Stated plainly, because a stated address is one of the few claims on a supplier site a buyer can test without technical knowledge and without leaving their desk. What is available at that address for someone arriving in person is a separate question, answered on our Fethiye page.

The test is not whether an address exists but whether it agrees with itself across the documents a transaction produces. The entity on the quotation should be the entity on the invoice, the tax registration should belong to it, and the bank account should be held in that name. The shipping documents and the declared country of origin should point the same way.

Disagreement is not automatically dishonesty. Group structures, sales agents and third-party logistics all produce legitimate mismatches. What matters is that each has a nameable reason offered up front rather than discovered afterwards.

A company presenting a country it does not operate from is misrepresenting itself. That is a statement about one named company and nothing about a nationality. Run it on us: if anything you receive shows a different entity or country, stop and ask before paying.

The legal entity name on the quotation, the proforma and the invoice — all three the same
The tax registration number, and confirmation that it belongs to that entity
The name the bank account is held in
The address on the shipping documents, and the party shown as exporter of record
The country declared as origin on the export documentation

Double Drawn is an operation with a yield, not a tier on a label

Hair does not arrive as one length. A collected bundle holds fibres distributed around a middle, which is why an untreated bundle is full at the top and tapers towards the tip. Drawing addresses that: the shorter fibres are withdrawn by hand, in repeated passes, until what remains holds density most of the way down.

Each pass returns less than the one before. The first takes out a great deal; by the fourth the operator is working through material that mostly qualifies, removing a small residue for the same time spent. When to stop is a judgement against the target length and the lot in hand rather than a fixed count, which is why we publish no pass number as a specification. We state it for the order in front of us.

The yield is the part rarely explained. Raw hair is bought by weight, so every fibre pulled out during drawing was already paid for at the full rate. It is not destroyed — shorter fibres become shorter products — but it leaves this order, and the weight finally packed is a fraction of the weight that started. Both effects worsen with length. So Double Drawn from one source is always dearer per gram than single drawn, and the same term at a single drawn price should stop a conversation.

What it changes is where mass sits along the length, not what one attachment unit weighs: a 0.3 g strand weighs 0.3 g whether the hair inside it was drawn once or repeatedly. Single drawn remains a legitimate product and some clients want the taper. Write the standard into an order as a state that can be breached: shorter fibres removed by repeated drawing, so the bundle holds density to the tip, passes stated.

Colour processing, described as a capability with edges

Raw hair reaches this trade on predominantly dark bases nearly everywhere it is collected, so almost every light shade in every catalogue is lifted hair rather than found hair. Colour work here covers lifting from those bases, depositing tone, multi-tone effects such as a shadowed root or a graduated end, and building a shade from two or three processed batches combined in proportion.

Multi-tone work is a sequencing problem rather than a mixing one, and a transition that looks correct flat on a bench can band once the bundle is cut, fitted and moving under changing light. Lifting is chemistry, time and loss: pigment comes out over several passes and some fibre fails on the way, and failed fibre was bought by weight and cannot be sold.

So on any given lot there is a point past which lifting further costs more condition than the shade is worth. Where a target sits past it, the honest options are a different lot or a shade nearer the limit — said at quotation rather than discovered after three washes. Custom blending is the same work at the smallest batch size there is, its yield poor by definition, and it is discussed per project.

Repeatability is the question a wholesale buyer should ask instead of the one about the shade card. Matching a code again months later from a different raw lot is a matching exercise rather than a lookup, and what makes it work is a retained physical reference. We will not tell you lot-to-lot variation is zero.

Matching from a photograph has a physical limit rather than a commercial one. A camera sets its own white balance and the receiving screen applies its own profile, so an image carries relationships within its frame and absolute colour not at all. Depth can often be estimated; undertone frequently cannot. We will get close, often close enough, and will say close rather than exact before an order is placed. The reliable method is physical: a shade ring posted out, or a cut sample posted in.

One characteristic measured, and a much longer list not measured

The measurement, with the framing that travels with it every time. Ten Nanofilament strands of the 0.3 g option, weighed together, came to approximately 3 g. Ten Micro strands, weighed together, came to approximately 6 g. Dividing by ten gives approximately 0.3 g and approximately 0.6 g per strand.

That is a batch reference comparison. The per-strand figures are derived by division rather than weighed individually, so they are averages, and we have not characterised how far individual strands sit from them. It is not a laboratory test and not a calibrated measurement. What it establishes is a ratio of roughly two to one between two of our own systems.

Process control is a different kind of statement: bundles are weighed against their stated weight before packing, and direction is checked at sorting, because a bundle assembled against itself fails in a way no later step corrects. The tolerance we work to belongs on an order, not on a web page.

Below is what we have not measured, published in full because the alternative is worse: once every characteristic carries a value, a reader loses the ability to tell evidence from estimate. This is the part of the page we would most like judged. Any manufacturer can say their bond is lighter; very few will say they have never weighed a competitor's, have run no wear trial, and hold no data on the characteristic the buyer cares about most. Willingness to publish a blank is the one signal a company with nothing behind it cannot imitate.

Fibre diameter — no instrumented analysis run, and no figures published
Retention over months of wear — no wear trial, no client panel, no time-to-failure testing
Comfort as reported by wearers — never systematically collected
Load on a scalp or on individual follicles — no instrumented measurement
Reinstallation cycles a specification survives — not counted
Any competitor's bond, panel or ring — never weighed one
Colour fastness across a defined number of washes — no standardised protocol here
Anything assessed independently of us — no laboratory, no third-party assessor, no blinding

We do not fit hair for a living, and we still have to understand fitting

The boundary first. We manufacture; we do not run a salon, do not sell application, and publish no fitting times or maintenance intervals, since any such figure from us would be somebody else's data repeated with our name on it.

Understanding application is nonetheless part of the job. Almost every complaint that reaches a manufacturer arrives in application language: it slipped, it matted at the joint, it shed, it would not come out. None of those distinguishes a product fault from a specification mismatch from a procedure failure, and separating them means knowing what happens at the chair — section size, how much natural hair went into each joint, and which release agent was used.

For a buyer that is the difference between two kinds of technical support. A supplier who knows only the box answers a slipping complaint with replacement stock, which resolves the conversation and not the problem. A supplier who knows the chair asks the sequence first, and often the outcome is a change in procedure. Replacement goods are the expensive way to fix an application variable, and they hide it.

It also decides what we can put in front of a technician who did not buy from us directly: the system name, what releases that exact joint, the shade codes with their catalogue, and what the goods were weighed to. The limit we will not cross is advising on an individual head — nobody in this trade, to our knowledge, has published a controlled study of traction on real scalps, so a supplier quoting a hard maximum in grams is asserting what the field has not established.

How a wholesale relationship starts, and why the terms are not on this page

The sequence that works is short. A specification, in units rather than adjectives. A quotation written against it, with the variables visible. A first quantity small enough to be a test and large enough to be representative, assessed by your own technicians on real heads. Then a repeat order in the same specification — the first order is rarely the difficulty, the fourth is.

This page publishes no minimum order, lead time, turnaround, capacity, tiered price list, incoterm, sample policy or stock level. Each is an output of a specification rather than a property of a company, so a fixed value would mean quoting the most restrictive case to everyone, or the least restrictive and correcting upwards later — worse than no number, since it sets an expectation before anyone has said what is in the box. How a quotation is built up is set out in the pricing architecture.

What can be published is what determines each of them. A minimum order is set by batch economics: a colour run, a drawing batch and a changeover cost roughly the same whether the batch is small or large, so those fixed elements have to spread across enough grams. A catalogue shade in a stocked length therefore carries a different minimum from a blended shade at a non-catalogue length, and a bespoke blend a different one again.

Lead time is set by which operations the order needs and what is already on the bench: a shade already processed and held is a different queue from one beginning with a lift. Capacity behaves the same way, since the bottleneck is an operation rather than a company, and incoterms are agreed per destination. Instead of publishing terms we answer against your specification in writing, including saying no and including saying when a cheaper specification would serve you just as well.

The specification in units: grams, centimetres, drawing standard, colour components, system and unit weight
The minimum quantity for that specification, and what change would lower it
The lead time, and which operation is setting it
The tolerance the goods will be weighed to before packing
What happens if goods arrive not as specified, and who pays
Whether the specification can be reproduced later, and against what retained reference
The incoterm, the exporter of record, and the documents travelling with the shipment

Private label is a project to be discussed, not a programme with a page

Private label means goods manufactured to a buyer's specification that reach the market under the buyer's name. It is also why manufacturing in this trade is largely invisible in English: the output is on shelves everywhere and the maker appears nowhere, by contract rather than by accident.

It is a possibility here, discussed per project rather than advertised as a programme with fixed terms, because in this kind of work the terms are the project — what is made, at what specification, in what quantity, with what packaging obligations and in which market.

What such a discussion has to settle is fairly consistent even though the answers are not. Which parts of the specification are yours and who owns a blend developed for you. What appears on the packaging, and who is named as manufacturer where a market requires it. Who holds the retained physical reference the shade will be matched against next year. Whether the specification is exclusive, where, and for how long. And what documentation your market requires.

One caution against our own interest: private label increases what you depend on a single supplier for, because your customers see your name and not ours when something goes wrong, which makes the verification below more important rather than less. It also explains an absence here. We will not describe another company's private label work, and no client names appear on this site — so do not expect a client list from us, and think carefully about a supplier who offers one.

A checklist you can run on us, and on anybody else

These are the checks we would use ourselves, and each is hard to pass without either a factory or an outright lie — a higher bar than marketing language has to clear.

Ask for a photograph of one named step, taken now. Not a facility tour — one specified operation, with something in frame that fixes the date, then the same step again weeks later so the room and the bench can be recognised across requests. Generic production footage circulates freely and is used by companies that have never run a batch.

Ask a specification question whose honest answer contains a limit — something at the edge, such as a long length in a lifted shade at a stated drawing standard and quantity. A producer answers with a number, a condition, a lead time or a no, and usually names the operation that is the constraint. A reseller answers with reassurance and a return to what is available.

Then ask what is not done in-house and read a clear list as a good sign; check the stated address against the stated country across documents rather than the website; and ask which claims have been measured and by what procedure. Our own answers are above, and we would rather they were compared than accepted: if another supplier answers any of these better than we do, that is exactly the information you needed.

Ask for a photograph of one named step, taken today with a dated sheet in frame — then the same step again in three weeks
Ask a specification question at the edge, and see whether the answer contains a number, a condition or a no
Ask which steps are not done in-house, and treat a clear list as evidence rather than a weakness
Ask which characteristics have been measured, by what procedure, and which have not
Ask what weight tolerance the goods are checked to
Ask what they retain in order to reproduce a specification later
Ask when they last recommended something cheaper, or refused an order

What this page deliberately does not assert

Every item below could be written here with almost no risk of being caught, because scarcely any of it is checkable at a distance. That is why none of it appears. An unverifiable claim is not evidence in your favour; it is a cost-free assertion.

There is one ordering we do publish, and the disclosure travels with it every time. Our evaluation places seven systems as 1 Nanofilament, 2 Micro, 3 Butterfly Tape-In, 4 Standard Tape-In, 5 Keratin, 6 Bead / Micro-Ring, 7 Weft. It is the manufacturer's own evaluation of a set that includes its own products, and ours hold the top two places. We chose the criteria and the weightings, our own staff assessed, nobody was blinded, and no independent party reviewed it. One characteristic was measured — per-strand weight for two of the seven, by weighing batches and dividing — and the rest is production observation, reported convention, or a stated gap. The criteria are published above the result on the systems comparison.

None of this implies that other producers are lying when they publish equivalents; many hold genuine certificates and can state real capacity figures. The point is narrower: we are not publishing what we cannot support, and a buyer is entitled to apply that standard to anyone — including asking a certificate holder for the number, the issuing body and the scope, then verifying it with the issuer.

No certification claim — no ISO, no CE, no quality mark, no laboratory report
No production capacity, factory floor area, machine count or staff numbers
No client count, client names, or brands we produce for
No founding date and no years-in-business figure
No price figures, ranges, rates per gram or starting-from numbers
No minimum order, lead time, turnaround or stock level
No origin guarantee for raw hair beyond naming whom we bought it from
No claim to be leading, largest, premium, or the most invisible — in any wording
No reviews, ratings, testimonials or awards presented as evidence
No medical or safety claim about wearing extensions; load is mechanical, and assessment is a professional judgement

When we are the wrong supplier, and what to do instead

If what you need is broad mixed stock in small quantities across many shades and lengths, quickly, a trading company holding inventory will serve you better than a production schedule will. That is an advantage of a different business model.

If your market requires a certificate or test report as a condition of sale, this page claims none. Ask what documentation we can produce for your destination, and be wary of any supplier whose certification appears only after you have said it is a requirement. If you need contractually binding published lead times and price tiers, we are a poor fit, and that is better said now than at the third order.

If you need a texture, a colour category or an attachment system we do not work in, we will tell you rather than substitute something adjacent and let it be discovered on a client's head. A substitution accepted quietly at the factory becomes a complaint at the salon and then a returned order.

And if the decision is being made on headline price alone, our specification is likely to be the more expensive one. Double Drawn costs what it costs and a hand-formed tip is an operation per unit; neither wins a comparison conducted on a single number. A supplier who has never told you they were the wrong choice has not been listening.

Frequently asked

Common questions

Are you a factory or a trader?

A factory. We manufacture human hair extensions in Fethiye, Muğla — sorting, drawing, colour processing, blending, method preparation, weighing and packing. What supports that rather than repeating it is on this page: the operations that happen here, the things that do not, the one characteristic we have measured, and a checklist you can run on us. If any of those answers is weaker than a supplier you are comparing us with, that is the useful finding.

What is your minimum order?

It depends on the specification, and one published figure would misdescribe every case. A minimum is set by the batch economics of the operations your order needs: a colour run, a drawing batch and a changeover cost roughly the same whether the batch is small or large, so those fixed elements must spread across enough grams. A catalogue shade in a stocked length therefore carries a different minimum from a blended shade at a non-catalogue length, and a bespoke blend a different one again.

How do you match colour for a production order, and what tolerance should I expect between batches?

Against a physical reference, not an image: a shade ring we send you, or a sample you send us, with the approved reference retained here for the life of the account. A photograph fixes depth approximately and undertone badly, which is the error that shows in daylight. Between batches, expect a tolerance rather than an identity — hair is a natural fibre processed in lots, and any producer claiming lot-to-lot identity is describing an ambition. Order a reference quantity first, approve it physically, and specify in writing that later lots are matched to that retained sample rather than to the original description.

Where exactly are you located?

Taşyaka Mah., Ölüdeniz Caddesi (TSK), No: 45/1, Fethiye / Muğla, 48300, Türkiye. Ask for the legal entity name and tax registration in writing, then check they match the invoice, the bank account holder, the exporter of record and the declared country of origin on the shipping documents. If any document you receive from us shows a different entity, address or country, treat it as a reason to stop and ask before paying.

What do you not do in-house?

Four things, published because it is the list a reseller cannot produce. We do not collect raw hair; we buy it from suppliers and agents and did not witness collection. We do not formulate chemistry; the keratin compound is bought to a specification from a specialist manufacturer, Italian keratin in the case of Micro. We do not fit hair commercially, so we publish no chair-hour figures. And we do not move freight or clear customs.

Can I visit the factory?

Ask, and ask for production hours rather than a showroom — a visit settles in an afternoon what correspondence will not settle in a month, and it remains the least-used check in this trade. What can be shown depends on what is running, since a producer working under private label cannot show another buyer's goods and should say so rather than decline without a reason. Where a visit is impractical, the alternative is the photograph test.

Do you hold ISO, CE or other certification?

This page claims none, and we are not going to imply one by talking around the question. If a certificate is a condition of sale in your market, ask what documentation we can produce for your destination and take a plain no where that is the answer. Apply the same standard everywhere: ask for the certificate number, the issuing body and the exact scope, then verify it with the issuer. A logo in a footer is not a certificate.

How long will an order take?

It depends on which operations your specification requires and what is already on the bench, so no figure here would be honest. An order in a shade already processed and held moves through a different queue from one beginning with a lift, and a strand order at a low per-strand weight takes longer than the same grams in heavier units, because a tip is formed on each unit individually. The lead time is stated against your specification in writing.

Do you offer private label?

It is a possibility discussed per project rather than an advertised programme with fixed terms, because in this kind of work the terms are the project. A discussion has to settle which parts of the specification are yours, what appears on the packaging, who holds the retained physical reference for future colour matching, whether the specification is exclusive and for how long, and what documentation your market requires. We will not describe another company's private label work, which is why no client names appear here.
