Direct answer
Salon Membership Freeze Fee Guide runs $5–$99.95 for the services documented below. That figure comes from 25 separate published amounts, not a single quote. The wider set of charges on this page spans $0–$3,500 once fees, add-ons and package items are included.
The single most helpful habit is to ask for the service name and the tier together. "Unlimited tanning membership" on its own can map to three different prices on the same menu.

National price context for these services
These are U.S. market ranges compiled from published industry pricing data, not figures published by any single brand. Use them to place a quote against the national picture.
| Service | Market low | National median | Market high | Unit | What drives it |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unlimited tanning membership | $20 | $45 | $110 | per month | Tier decides bed access and spray inclusions. |
| Women's haircut | $28 | $69 | $140 | per cut | Usually includes consultation, shampoo and a finish style. |
| All-over single-process colour | $65 | $105 | $190 | per service | All-over root-to-tip or root retouch on virgin hair. |
| Gel manicure | $30 | $45 | $70 | per service | Cured colour; removal is often a separate charge. |

| Classic lash full set | $100 | $155 | $250 | full set | One extension per natural lash. |
These bands describe the national market, not this page's subject. Use them to judge whether a quote is sensible, not as a price you can book.
What unlimited tanning membership costs in your metro tier
Location is typically the largest single variable. The national median for unlimited tanning membership is $45; the same appointment can land near $31 in a small market and $79 in a top-tier metro. That is a 2.5× spread on an identical service name.
| Market tier | Planning range | Multiplier | Example markets |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 - highest-cost metros | $61–$79 | 1.35–1.75× | Manhattan, San Francisco, Boston, Seattle, Washington DC, Miami Beach |
| Tier 2 - large metros | $50–$59 | 1.10–1.32× | Chicago, Los Angeles suburbs, Denver, Austin, Atlanta, San Diego, Portland |
| Tier 3 - mid-size metros | $42–$50 | 0.94–1.10× | Columbus, Kansas City, Charlotte, Nashville, Phoenix, Indianapolis |
| Tier 4 - small metro and rural | $31–$42 | 0.70–0.93× | Smaller cities, county seats and rural markets |
Derived by applying regional cost-of-doing-business multipliers to the $45 national median. Treat as a sanity check on a quote you have been given.

What unlimited tanning membership costs you over annually
A single $45 appointment is easy to justify. Maintained billed monthly, unlimited tanning membership becomes a $540 annual commitment at the national median — and that is the number worth deciding on.
| Provider level | Each visit | Visits/yr | Service spend | Gratuity | Annual total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Budget provider | $20 | 12 | $240 | — | $240 |
| National median | $45 | 12 | $540 | — | $540 |
| Premium provider | $110 | 12 | $1,320 | — | $1,320 |
Assumes 12 visits annually. Every number here scales with that visit count.
The lever most people reach for - switching salons - is generally the weakest one. Moving from the $45 median to the $20 budget end saves $360 per year, but so does just stretching the interval by a quarter.
What to tip, in actual dollars
Two rules do most of the work: tip on the service before tax, and tip the person who performed it.
| Gratuity rate | On $20 | On $45 | On $110 | When it applies |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15% | $3 | $6.75 | $16.50 | Standard for a satisfactory service |
| 18% | $3.60 | $8.10 | $19.80 | Common default in mid-size and large metros |
| 20% | $4 | $9 | $22 | Typical for a stylist you intend to rebook with |
| 25% | $5 | $11.25 | $27.50 | Reserved for complex colour, long appointments or a rescue job |
- At a resort or hotel spa, check for an automatic service charge before adding another tip.
- Holiday tipping is a separate convention from per-visit tipping and is usually a one-off larger amount.
- Do not tip on membership dues, booth rent, deposits, annual fees, gift-card loads or cancellation charges — no service was performed.
- Assistants who shampoo or rinse are regularly tipped separately, generally a few dollars.
The expensive errors, ranked
These are the ones that generate complaints. All of them are fixed by a single question in advance rather than at checkout.
- 1Assuming a deposit applies to the balancecosts $25–$100
Some deposits are forfeited rather than credited.
- 2Not reading the notice window before entering a cardcosts $25–$100
Windows range from 12 to 48 hours.

Seven questions that prevent a surprise bill
Read these out. They take about ninety seconds and it is the difference between a quote and a surprise. The last one matters most — a written quote settles any dispute at checkout.
- "What is your cancellation window, and what is the charge if I miss it?"
- "Is removal of my existing product included, or is it a separate charge?"
- "If this runs longer than booked, does the price change?"
- "If I join the membership today, is there an enrolment or annual fee on top?"
- "Do you take a deposit, and does it come off the final balance?"
- "Which provider tier is that quote for, and what does the next tier up cost?"
- "Can you email or text me the quote before my appointment?"
Then do one thing at checkout: ask for an itemised receipt. If a line appears that you were not told about, that is the moment to raise it — not after you have left.
The sensible total, worked through
Every line below is routine and expected. None of it is a scam — but almost none of it appears on the menu board either.
| Line | Amount | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Base service | $48 | The line you see on the menu |
| One typical add-on | $8 | Accepted at the chair without a stated price |
| Subtotal | $56 | Before tax and gratuity |
| Sales tax at 8.0% | $4.48 | Varies by state and city; services are taxable in some states only |
| Gratuity at 20% | $11.20 | Calculated on the service, not on tax |
| Realistic total | $71.68 | 49% above the menu price |
An illustration built from the ranges on this page. Your tax rate and add-on choices will differ.
The rule of thumb: add roughly 49% to any menu price for unlimited tanning membership to get your sensible out-the-door number.
Swap in your own base price and work this out for your exact service.
