Documented price lines, service by service
Everything below was published by a source listed at the foot of this page. Grouping matters: 1 of these 2 lines are actual services and the rest are add-ons, plans or policy charges that should never be averaged together.
| Line | Published | Midpoint | Spread | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Focused facial starting price | $75 | $75 | — | FACE FOUNDRIÉ |
| Line | Published | Midpoint | Spread | What it covers |

| Membership starting price | $89 | $89 | — | FACE FOUNDRIÉ |
Franchisees price within a corporate range rather than to a fixed card. Read them as examples, not a rate card.
What the same service costs across the U.S. market
Context, not a price list. The point of these numbers is to tell you whether the quote in front of you is routine for the U.S. in 2026.
| Service | Market low | National median | Market high | Unit | What drives it |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Express facial | $45 | $72 | $110 | 30 minutes | Cleanse, exfoliate and mask. |
| Standard facial | $75 | $110 | $180 | 50-60 min | Includes extractions and a treatment mask. |
| Advanced facial | $110 | $175 | $300 | per service | Peel, dermaplane or microdermabrasion. |
| Microdermabrasion | $90 | $145 | $250 | per session | Typically sold as a course of 4-6. |
| Chemical peel | $100 | $175 | $325 | per session | Depth of peel drives the price. |
| Dermaplaning | $65 | $100 | $165 | per service | Regularly added to a standard facial. |
National planning ranges. A quote outside these bands is not automatically wrong - check what is included before judging it.
The same service, four different markets
Rent and wages flow straight into the menu. Applying published metro cost bands to the $72 national median for express facial gives the following planning ranges.
| Market tier | Planning range | Multiplier | Example markets |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 - highest-cost metros | $97–$126 | 1.35–1.75× | Manhattan, San Francisco, Boston, Seattle, Washington DC, Miami Beach |
| Tier 2 - large metros | $79–$95 | 1.10–1.32× | Chicago, Los Angeles suburbs, Denver, Austin, Atlanta, San Diego, Portland |
| Tier 3 - mid-size metros | $68–$79 | 0.94–1.10× | Columbus, Kansas City, Charlotte, Nashville, Phoenix, Indianapolis |
| Tier 4 - small metro and rural | $50–$67 | 0.70–0.93× | Smaller cities, county seats and rural markets |
Derived by applying regional cost-of-doing-business multipliers to the $72 national median. Treat as a sanity check on a quote you have been given.
Where the extra money goes
Ask about these when you book, not at checkout. Every one of them is easier to decline over the phone than mid-appointment.
- Course versus singlesaves 10–25%
Packages of four to six sessions reduce the per-visit rate.
- Add-on modality+$25–$75
Dermaplane, LED and peel layers each carry their own price.
- Treatment depth+$35–$120
Express, standard and advanced are separate menu tiers.
- Esthetician or medical setting+$50–$200
Medical-supervised treatments price well above a spa facial.
- Extraction time+$15–$40
Congested skin needs a longer booking.

When a membership actually beats paying each visit
The honest test is your sensible visit count, not your intended one. Most of us overestimate by 30–50%. Take the number below and check it against how you behaved last quarter.
| Monthly plan | Per-visit rate | Break-even | Annual visits needed | Annual cost | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $101 / month | $72 | 1.4 visits | 17 visits | $1,212 | Worthwhile above 1.4/month |
| $158 / month | $72 | 2.2 visits | 26 visits | $1,896 | Worthwhile above 2.2/month |
| $230 / month | $72 | 3.2 visits | 38 visits | $2,760 | Worthwhile above 3.2/month |
Uses a $72 market per-visit rate. Substitute the rate you were actually quoted.
Use the quoted rate rather than the market one and check the maths on your quoted rate.
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 $45 | On $72 | On $110 | When it applies |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15% | $6.75 | $10.80 | $16.50 | Standard for a satisfactory service |
| 18% | $8.10 | $12.96 | $19.80 | Common default in mid-size and large metros |
| 20% | $9 | $14.40 | $22 | Typical for a stylist you intend to rebook with |
| 25% | $11.25 | $18 | $27.50 | Reserved for complex colour, long appointments or a rescue job |
- Cash is the most direct route and is still preferred in most independent studios.
- If more than one person worked on you, check how gratuity is divided before assuming the lead provider receives all of it.
- On a package or prepaid series, tip per visit on the value of that visit rather than once on the whole package.
- At a resort or hotel spa, look for a service charge already applied before adding a further gratuity.
Mistakes that cost real money
These are the errors that show up repeatedly in pricing complaints. All of them are fixed by a single question asked before the service starts rather than after.
- 1Booking an express facial expecting extractionscosts $30–$70
Extractions need the longer slot.
- 2Buying a course before a first appointmentcosts $300–$900
Courses are non-refundable at most spas.
- 3Accepting add-on modalities mid-servicecosts $25–$75
LED, dermaplane and peels are offered in the room and billed after.

Seven questions that prevent a surprise bill
Read these out. It takes under two minutes and it is the gap between a quote and a surprise. The last one matters most — a written quote settles any dispute at checkout.
- "Is removal of my existing product included, or is it a separate charge?"
- "If this runs longer than booked, does the price change?"
- "Is a shampoo, blow-dry or finish included in that price, or billed on a separate line?"
- "If I join the membership today, is there an enrolment or annual fee on top?"
- "What add-ons do you normally recommend for this service, and what does each cost?"
- "What is the precise price for express facial at my hair length and density?"
- "Which provider tier is that quote for, and what does the next tier up cost?"
One more at the desk: ask for the itemised total before you tap the card. Every line should match something you were told about on the phone.
The sensible total, worked through
Work it forwards once and you will never be caught out again. A $81 service does not cost $81.
| Line | Amount | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Base service | $81 | The line you see on the menu |
| One typical add-on | $14 | Accepted at the chair without a stated price |
| Subtotal | $95 | Before tax and gratuity |
| Sales tax at 7.2% | $6.84 | Varies by state and city; services are taxable in some states only |
| Gratuity at 20% | $19 | Calculated on the service, not on tax |
| Sensible total | $120.84 | 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 approximately 49% to any menu price for express facial to get your sensible out-the-door number.
Prefer not to do the arithmetic? You can run the numbers for your own service.
Annual cost of ownership
Most budgets break at the cadence, not the price. Express facial maintained every 5 weeks works out to roughly $864 a year once gratuity is included.
| Provider level | Each visit | Visits/yr | Service spend | Gratuity | Annual total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Budget provider | $45 | 10 | $450 | $90 | $540 |
| National median | $72 | 10 | $720 | $144 | $864 |
| Premium provider | $110 | 10 | $1,100 | $220 | $1,320 |
Gratuity is included at 20% because it is expected rather than optional. Strip it out if you budget gratuity on a separate line.
The lever most people reach for - switching salons - is generally the weakest one. Moving from the $72 median to the $45 budget end saves $324 per year, but so does just stretching the interval by a quarter.
Your other options, and when each wins
The number alone seldom determines it. Start with what is included — what is actually included — then compare the number.
