Pricing

There are many elements that factor into salon services pricing. Here are the main ones.

​

Level of experience. Experienced Hairstylists, Permanent Makeup Artists, and Estheticians charge more than those with fewer years of experience.

​

Talent level. Highly skilled individuals charge more for their abilities and level they have achieved.

​

Salon type. High-end salons with quality, comfortable furnishings and the latest equipment are more costly to equip and maintain.

​

Location. Salons in a convenient location in a nice area pay higher rent and tend to charge higher prices.

​

Quality of products. Organic, natural, or non-toxic ingredients increase prices. Highly rated, high-quality products also cost more to use.

​

Amount of time. Higher end salons look to create an experience, while others may be more interested in getting quick turnovers.

​

Existing hair color. Those with darker hair who want to go blonde won’t be able to get a single-process color (the least expensive hair coloring treatment). They will need bleach, color, toner, or highlights. The more products and steps in the process, the greater the total cost.

​

Hair texture. Curly hair and thick hair will take a bit longer to treat, so salons will charge a slightly higher price for these hair textures.

​

Length of hair. Salons charge more for long hair because it takes longer to shampoo, cut, color, style, or blow dry than shorter hair.

​

Complexity. Difficulty of the final look, along with the skill needed to execute it, results in a higher cost.
