Direct answer
Expect $75–$89 at FACE FOUNDRIÉ Cancellation Policy. The full documented set runs $75–$89 because it also covers add-ons, policy charges and package pricing. The median across all 2 documented amounts is $82.
The menu price is seldom the checkout price. Tax and gratuity alone typically add 27% in addition to express facial, before any add-on is accepted at the chair.

What the same service costs across the U.S. market
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 | Normally 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. |
Compiled national figures for context only. No brand on this page has published these numbers, and none of them is a bookable rate.
What express facial costs in your metro tier
Before deciding a quote is high, check it against your own market rather than the national number. A $108 quote is expensive in a tier-4 market and unremarkable in tier 1.
| 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 |
Bands scale the $72 national median by published metro cost multipliers. Planning ranges, not quotes.
What actually changes your price
Ranking these matters. Most of us compares the headline price of two salons and skip past the four lines below it that actually decide the bill.
- Extraction time+$15–$40
Congested skin needs a longer booking.
- Esthetician or medical setting+$50–$200
Medical-supervised treatments price well above a spa facial.
- Course versus singlesaves 10–25%
Packages of four to six sessions reduce the per-visit rate.
- Treatment depth+$35–$120
Express, standard and advanced are separate menu tiers.
- Add-on modality+$25–$75
Dermaplane, LED and peel layers each carry their own price.

Membership break-even: the only maths that matters
A membership is worthwhile above one number: monthly fee ÷ per-visit price. Below that visit count you are subsidising the salon. At a $72 per-visit rate, here is where each plan level breaks even.
| Monthly plan | Per-visit rate | Break-even | Annual visits needed | Annual cost | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $101 / month | $72 | 1.4 visits | 17 visits | $1,212 | Worth it above 1.4/month |
| $158 / month | $72 | 2.2 visits | 26 visits | $1,896 | Worth it above 2.2/month |
| $230 / month | $72 | 3.2 visits | 38 visits | $2,760 | Worth it above 3.2/month |
Uses a $72 market per-visit rate. Substitute the rate you were actually quoted.
Before signing, check the maths on your quoted rate.
Tipping: the numbers rather than the etiquette
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 $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 |
- On a $72 service, the gap between an 18% and a 20% tip is $1.44. It matters less than whether you tip at all.
- Holiday tipping is a separate norm from per-visit tipping and is typically a one-off larger amount.
- Card tips may be pooled or delayed to the next pay run. Ask if you want it to reach one person directly.
- On a package or prepaid series, tip per visit on the value of that visit rather than once on the whole package.
Five ways to overpay without noticing
These recur constantly in pricing disputes. Every one is avoided by asking once in advance rather than at checkout.
- 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.

The booking script, word for word
Ask these when you book rather than on arrival. Once you are gowned and in the chair, declining an add-on becomes socially much harder — which is the reason they come up at that moment.
- "Which provider tier is that quote for, and what does the next tier up cost?"
- "Are taxes added at checkout, and do you have a card-payment surcharge?"
- "Can you email or text me the quote before my appointment?"
- "Is there a first-visit offer or a package rate I should know about?"
- "What is your cancellation window, and what is the charge if I miss it?"
- "What add-ons do you normally recommend for this service, and what does each cost?"
- "If this runs longer than booked, does the price change?"
Finally: get the quote on paper. A text or email costs the salon nothing and removes any argument at checkout.
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 6.6% | $6.27 | Varies by state and city; services are taxable in some states only |
| Gratuity at 20% | $19 | Calculated on the service, not on tax |
| Realistic total | $120.27 | 48% above the menu price |
An illustration built from the ranges on this page. Your tax rate and add-on choices will differ.
Takeaway: budget $120 when the board says $81. The difference is $39.

Annual cost of ownership
Most budgets break at the cadence, not the price. Express facial maintained every 5 weeks works out to roughly $864 annually once gratuity is included.
| Provider level | Per 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 effectively compulsory. Deduct it if you track tips apart from service spend.
Before hunting a discount, check the cadence. Going from 10 to 8 visits annually keeps around $173 in your pocket at the same quality of work.
