Short answer
Know the rule before you hand over a card. Charges under this policy generally run $5–$99.95, and the notice window is the single most important clause to confirm when you book.
Every figure on this page is either a documented published amount or a labelled U.S. market range. Nothing here is a guess dressed up as a price.

Market ranges: what everyone else charges
Use this as a sanity check. If a quote lands well outside the national band below, ask what is included before concluding it is poor value — scope differences explain most outliers.
| Service | Market low | National median | Market high | Unit | What drives it |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unlimited tanning membership | $20 | $45 | $110 | per month | Tier determines bed access and spray inclusions. |
| Women's haircut | $28 | $69 | $140 | per cut | Normally 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. |
| Brazilian wax | $45 | $62 | $100 | per service | Full removal; first-timer offers are common. |
| Classic lash full set | $100 | $155 | $250 | full set | One extension per natural lash. |
Market ranges are planning estimates compiled from published U.S. pricing data. They are not quotes and are not attributable to any brand named on this page.
Regional price bands for this service
Before deciding a quote is high, check it against your own market rather than the national number. A $68 quote is costly in a tier-4 market and unremarkable in tier 1.
| 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 |
Bands scale the $45 national median by published metro cost multipliers. Planning ranges, not quotes.
The variables that move the number
Ranking these matters. Nearly everyone compares the headline price of two salons and ignore the next few lines below it that actually decide the bill.
- Notice windowchanges the contract, not the price
Cancellation windows run from 12 to 48 hours.
- Charge basis+25–100%
Some policies bill a flat fee, others a percentage of the service.
- Card on filechanges the contract, not the price
Booking platforms enforce policies automatically.
- Deposit treatment+25–100%
Deposits may apply to the balance or be forfeited.

What to say on the phone
Read these out. They take about ninety seconds and it is the gap between a quote and a surprise. The final question matters most — a written quote settles any dispute at checkout.
- "Can you email or text me the quote before my appointment?"
- "What is your cancellation window, and what is the charge if I miss it?"
- "Is a shampoo, blow-dry or finish included in that price, or billed separately?"
- "What is the exact price for unlimited tanning membership at my hair length and density?"
- "What add-ons do you normally recommend for this service, and what does each cost?"
- "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?"
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.
Menu price versus final bill
Work it forwards once and you will never be caught out again. A $48 service does not cost $48.
| Line | Amount | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Base service | $48 | The line you see on the menu |
| One typical add-on | $9 | Accepted at the chair without a stated price |
| Subtotal | $57 | Before tax and gratuity |
| Sales tax at 6.0% | $3.42 | Varies by state and city; services are taxable in some states only |
| Gratuity at 18% | $10.26 | Calculated on the service, not on tax |
| Realistic total | $70.68 | 47% 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 around 47% to any menu price for unlimited tanning membership to get your sensible out-the-door number.
Prefer not to do the arithmetic? You can do this with your own quote.
What unlimited tanning membership costs you over annually
Most budgets break at the cadence, not the price. Unlimited tanning membership maintained billed monthly works out to around $540 a year once gratuity is included.
| Provider level | Per 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 a year. Change that number and every figure in this table moves with it.
The lever most people reach for - switching salons - is typically the weakest one. Moving from the $45 median to the $20 budget end saves $360 a year, but so does just stretching the interval by a quarter.
How much to tip on this service
Tip on the pre-tax service amount. If a reduction or promotion applied, the norm is to tip on the original value of the work, not the discounted price.
| 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 |
- Card tips may be pooled or delayed to the next pay run. Ask if you want it to reach one person directly.
- Holiday tipping is a separate convention from per-visit tipping and is generally 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.
- Cash reaches the provider fastest and is still preferred in most independent salons.
Five ways to overpay without noticing
Ordered by how frequently they happen rather than dollar impact. In every case the fix is a question at booking.
- 1Not reading the notice window before entering a cardcosts $25–$100
Windows range from 12 to 48 hours.
- 2Assuming a deposit applies to the balancecosts $25–$100
Some deposits are forfeited rather than credited.

Price is not usually the deciding factor. Start with what is included — what is actually included — before you look at the figure.
