Direct answer
Hand & Stone Locations and Availability: budget $129.95–$159.95 per service. Anything below $129.95 in the documented set is an add-on or a partial service rather than a full appointment, and anything above $159.95 reflects an extended or premium booking.
The single most useful habit is to ask for the service name and the tier together. "Express facial" on its own can map to three different prices on the same menu.

Official published amounts and what each covers
Everything below was published by a source listed at the foot of this page. Grouping matters: 2 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Selected member facial price | $129.95 | $129.95 | — | Hand & Stone |
| Selected nonmember facial price | $159.95 | $159.95 | — | Hand & Stone |
A single location's menu proves nothing about the chain. Verify locally before booking.
National price context for these services
Use this as a sanity check. Where a quote falls outside these bands, ask what is included before you assume it is a bad deal — scope differences explain most outliers.
| 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 | Usually 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. |

Regional price bands for this service
Location is generally the largest single variable. The national median for express facial is $72; the same appointment can land near $50 in a small market and $126 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 | $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 |
Your own market may sit between tiers. The point is the 2.5x spread, not the exact figure in any one row.
Why your quote differs from the menu
Ranking these matters. Most of us compare the headline price of two salons and ignore the next few lines below it that end up setting the bill.
- Treatment depth+$35–$120
Express, standard and advanced are separate menu tiers.
- 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.
- Add-on modality+$25–$75
Dermaplane, LED and peel layers each carry their own price.
- Course versus singlesaves 10–25%
Packages of four to six sessions reduce the per-visit rate.

Membership break-even: the only maths that matters
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 | Worth it 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.
You can run your own break-even against your actual visit count.
Gratuity, converted from percentages into money
Tip on the pre-tax service amount. If a discount 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 |
- A tip is for the work performed, not for the price you were charged. Do not penalise a provider for a menu they did not set.
- Tip the same on a redo as on the original if the redo was not the provider's fault - and speak to management rather than the provider if it was.
- At a resort or hotel spa, see whether a service charge is included before adding another tip.
- 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.
Avoid these ahead of booking
All five are common, avoidable and quantified. None of them require haggling — only a well-timed question.
- 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
You do not need to negotiate. You need the price to be stated before the service starts. These questions do that without any awkwardness.
- "Can you email or text me the quote before my appointment?"
- "Is removal of my existing product included, or is it a separate charge?"
- "What is your cancellation window, and what is the charge if I miss it?"
- "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?"
- "If this runs longer than booked, does the price change?"
- "What add-ons do you normally recommend for this service, and what does each cost?"
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.
What the bill looks like at checkout
This is the gap that surprises people. Starting from a $143 base, here is where the money goes by the time the card is out.
| Line | Amount | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Base service | $143 | The line you see on the menu |
| One typical add-on | $33 | Accepted at the chair without a stated price |
| Subtotal | $176 | Before tax and gratuity |
| Sales tax at 6.6% | $11.62 | Varies by state and city; services are taxable in some states only |
| Gratuity at 18% | $31.68 | Calculated on the service, not on tax |
| Sensible total | $219.30 | 53% above the menu price |

Plan for the total, not the base. The $76 gap between the two is the part people forget when comparing two salons.
To check a specific quote, run the numbers for your own service.
Twelve months of express facial, priced out
The per-visit price hides the real decision. At every 5 weeks, this service costs about $864 annually including gratuity if you pay national median rates.
| 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 |
Cadence reflects typical maintenance intervals. Your own interval is the biggest variable.
Before hunting a less expensive provider, look at the interval. One fewer visit annually is about $86 kept; two fewer is $173. Neither costs you any quality.
Worth comparing before you commit
The useful comparison is like-for-like: same service scope, same provider tier, same market. These pages set the comparisons up that way.
