If you are a wig store owner or a hair salon owner with over five years of experience, I'm sure you know the significant price hikes for lace closures and frontals during 2021 and 2022. This surge was largely influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, which affected supply chains worldwide.
During this period, many Chinese factories relied on North Korean workers for lace production due to their lower labor costs, which had been in place for over 20 years. However, with the North Korean government closing its borders, no more lace products were supplied, forcing these factories to hire more expensive Chinese labor.
For instance, while North Korean workers charged around $7 to produce a 13x4 lace frontal, Chinese workers typically charged $50. This shift in labor costs directly contributed to the rapid increase in lace frontal prices.
The good news is that the North Korean government opened its border again in 2023 so lace closures and lace frontal prices have declined a lot . If your vendor did not give you a friendly price for lace products, please feel free to reach out for inquiries!
