What the brand actually publishes
These 4 lines come from published sources and are grouped by what they actually are. Folding fees into a service list is how misleading "average" figures get made, so they are kept apart here.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Children’s haircut | $29.50 | $29.50 | — | Mitchell’s Salon & Day Spa |
| Men’s haircut | $42 | $42 | — | Mitchell’s Salon & Day Spa |
| Haircut only | $44.50 | $44.50 | — | Mitchell’s Salon & Day Spa |
| Haircut and design | $50.50–$59.50 | $55 | $9 | Mitchell’s Salon & Day Spa |

What the same service costs across the U.S. market
This table is market context, not a brand price list. It exists so you can tell whether a quote you have been given is typical, low or high for the U.S. in 2026.

| Women's haircut | $28 | $69 | $140 | per cut | Usually includes consultation, shampoo and a finish style. |

Where you live changes the price more than anything else
Before deciding a quote is high, check it against your own market rather than the national number. A $104 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 | $93–$121 | 1.35–1.75× | Manhattan, San Francisco, Boston, Seattle, Washington DC, Miami Beach |
| Tier 2 - large metros | $76–$91 | 1.10–1.32× | Chicago, Los Angeles suburbs, Denver, Austin, Atlanta, San Diego, Portland |
| Tier 3 - mid-size metros | $65–$76 | 0.94–1.10× | Columbus, Kansas City, Charlotte, Nashville, Phoenix, Indianapolis |
| Tier 4 - small metro and rural | $48–$64 | 0.70–0.93× | Smaller cities, county seats and rural markets |
Bands scale the $69 national median by published metro cost multipliers. Planning ranges, not quotes.
Where the extra money goes
Ranking these matters. Most people compare the headline price of two salons and overlook the next few lines below it that end up setting the bill.
- Length and density+$25–$90
Below-shoulder or very thick hair adds time to every step.
- Consultation or trial+$50–$150
Bridal and major transformations often carry a paid trial.
- Stylist level+15–70%
Junior, senior, master and director tiers are priced in bands.
- Treatment add-ons+$25–$70
Bond, gloss and scalp treatments are offered at the bowl.
- Blow-dry finish+$35–$75
Some premium menus price the finish separately from the cut.

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 $28 | On $69 | On $140 | When it applies |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15% | $4.20 | $10.35 | $21 | Standard for a satisfactory service |
| 18% | $5.04 | $12.42 | $25.20 | Common default in mid-size and large metros |
| 20% | $5.60 | $13.80 | $28 | Typical for a stylist you intend to rebook with |
| 25% | $7 | $17.25 | $35 | Reserved for complex colour, long appointments or a rescue job |
- Holiday tipping is a separate convention from per-visit tipping and is generally a one-off larger amount.
- Cash reaches the provider fastest and is still preferred in most independent salons.
- 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.
- On a package or prepaid series, tip per visit on the value of that visit rather than once on the whole package.
What people get wrong here
These are the ones that generate complaints. All of them are fixed by a single question asked before the service starts rather than after.
- 1Missing the trial cost on bridal workcosts $75–$200
Trials are usually a separate paid appointment.
- 2Accepting treatments at the bowlcosts $25–$70
Bond and scalp treatments are offered mid-service without a price.
- 3Booking by salon rather than by stylist tiercosts $60–$200
The same salon can be 70% more expensive with a director.
- 4Not confirming whether the finish is includedcosts $40–$80
Premium menus regularly price cut and blow-dry separately.
If you want the policy detail behind these: Salon Cancellation Fees and Salon Consultation Fees.
The booking script, word for word
Ask these at booking rather than on arrival. Once you are gowned and in the chair, declining an add-on becomes socially much harder — which is exactly why that is when they are raised.
- "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?"
- "Is removal of my existing product included, or is it a separate charge?"
- "Can you email or text me the quote before my appointment?"
- "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?"
- "If this runs longer than booked, does the price change?"
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.
From menu price to what you actually hand over
This is the gap that surprises people. Starting from a $43 base, here is where the money goes by the time the card is out.
| Line | Amount | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Base service | $43 | The line you see on the menu |
| One typical add-on | $8 | Accepted at the chair without a stated price |
| Subtotal | $51 | Before tax and gratuity |
| Sales tax at 8.3% | $4.23 | Varies by state and city; services are taxable in some states only |
| Gratuity at 20% | $10.20 | Calculated on the service, not on tax |
| Realistic total | $65.43 | 52% above the menu price |
Worked at a $43 base with one add-on. Swap in your own quote and the proportions hold.
Plan for the total, not the base. The $22 gap between the two is the part people forget when comparing two salons.
Swap in your own base price and do this with your own quote.
The real annual cost of keeping this up
Most budgets break at the cadence, not the price. Women's haircut maintained every 10 weeks works out to roughly $414 annually once gratuity is included.
| Provider level | Per visit | Visits/yr | Service spend | Gratuity | Annual total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Budget provider | $28 | 5 | $140 | $28 | $168 |
| National median | $69 | 5 | $345 | $69 | $414 |
| Premium provider | $140 | 5 | $700 | $140 | $840 |
Gratuity is included at 20% because it is expected rather than optional. Strip it out if you budget gratuity on a separate line.
The cheapest lever is almost always stretching the cadence, not finding a cheaper provider. Moving from 5 visits a year to 4 saves about $104 annually — usually more than switching salons would.
Where else to look
Before deciding, it is worth seeing where this lands against the nearest alternatives on both price and what you get for it.
