Direct answer
Phenix Salon Suites Locations and Availability: budget $350–$18,200 per service. Anything below $350 in the documented set is an add-on or a partial service rather than a full appointment, and anything above $18,200 reflects an extended or premium booking.
The menu price is seldom the checkout price. Tax and gratuity alone typically add 27% in addition to salon suite / booth rent, before any add-on is accepted at the chair.

Documented price lines, service by service
Everything below was published by a source listed at the foot of this page. Grouping matters: 3 of these 3 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Published single-studio ceiling example | $350 | $350 | — | Salon Republic |
| Four-week planning ceiling | $1,400 | $1,400 | — | Salon Republic |
| 52-week planning ceiling | $18,200 | $18,200 | — | Salon Republic |
Franchisees price within a corporate range rather than to a fixed card. Use them as documented examples only.
Market ranges: what everyone else charges
None of these figures belongs to a brand on this page. They describe the wider market, which is what you need in order to judge a quote rather than just accept it.
| Service | Market low | National median | Market high | Unit | What drives it |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Salon suite / booth rent | $250 | $400 | $700 | per week | Independent stylist booth or suite rent. |
| Women's haircut | $28 | $69 | $140 | per cut | Usually includes consultation, shampoo and a finish style. |
| Balayage | $150 | $250 | $420 | per service | Hand-painted; long or dark hair pushes past the top end. |
| Wash & blowout | $35 | $55 | $95 | per service | Wash and style; length and thickness drive the top end. |
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
Before deciding a quote is high, check it against your own market rather than the national number. A $600 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 | $540–$700 | 1.35–1.75× | Manhattan, San Francisco, Boston, Seattle, Washington DC, Miami Beach |
| Tier 2 - large metros | $440–$528 | 1.10–1.32× | Chicago, Los Angeles suburbs, Denver, Austin, Atlanta, San Diego, Portland |
| Tier 3 - mid-size metros | $376–$440 | 0.94–1.10× | Columbus, Kansas City, Charlotte, Nashville, Phoenix, Indianapolis |
| Tier 4 - small metro and rural | $280–$372 | 0.70–0.93× | Smaller cities, county seats and rural markets |
Derived by applying regional cost-of-doing-business multipliers to the $400 national median. Treat as a sanity check on a quote you have been given.
Where the extra money goes
Ranking these matters. Most of us compare the headline price of two salons and overlook the four lines below it that end up setting the bill.
- Suite size and location+$50–$200
Corner and window suites carry a premium.
- Lease termsaves 5–15%
Longer commitments lower the weekly rate.
- Included utilities+$15–$60
Water, laundry and reception vary by operator.
- Deposit and build-out+$300–$1,200
One-off costs at move-in.

What to say on the phone
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?"
- "What add-ons do you normally recommend for this service, and what does each cost?"
- "What is the exact price for salon suite / booth rent at my hair length and density?"
- "Is there a first-visit offer or a package rate I should know about?"
- "If I join the membership today, is there an enrolment or annual fee on top?"
- "Is removal of my existing product included, or is it a separate charge?"
- "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
Every line below is normal and expected. None of it is a scam — but almost none of it appears on the menu board either.
| Line | Amount | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Base service | $8,382 | The line you see on the menu |
| One typical add-on | $1,393 | Accepted at the chair without a stated price |
| Subtotal | $9,775 | Before tax and gratuity |
| Sales tax at 6.9% | $674.48 | Varies by state and city; services are taxable in some states only |
| Gratuity at 20% | $1,955 | Calculated on the service, not on tax |
| Realistic total | $12,404.48 | 48% 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 roughly 48% to any menu price for salon suite / booth rent to get your sensible out-the-door number.
To check a specific quote, calculate your own total.
Twelve months of salon suite / booth rent, priced out
The per-visit price hides the real decision. At billed weekly, this service costs about $20,800 per year including gratuity if you pay national median rates.
| Provider level | Per visit | Visits/yr | Service spend | Gratuity | Annual total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Budget provider | $250 | 52 | $13,000 | — | $13,000 |
| National median | $400 | 52 | $20,800 | — | $20,800 |
| Premium provider | $700 | 52 | $36,400 | — | $36,400 |
Assumes 52 visits annually. Adjust the visit count and every figure here moves with it.
The cheapest lever is almost always stretching the cadence, not finding a cheaper provider. Moving from 52 visits annually to 39 saves about $6,240 annually — usually more than switching salons would.
How much to tip on this service
Two rules do most of the work: tip on the service before tax, and tip the person who performed it.
| Gratuity rate | On $250 | On $400 | On $700 | When it applies |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15% | $37.50 | $60 | $105 | Standard for a satisfactory service |
| 18% | $45 | $72 | $126 | Common default in mid-size and large metros |
| 20% | $50 | $80 | $140 | Typical for a stylist you intend to rebook with |
| 25% | $62.50 | $100 | $175 | Reserved for complex colour, long appointments or a rescue job |
- Salons that add an automatic service charge should say so at booking. Spot one on the bill, ask whether it goes to the provider before adding more.
- Assistants who shampoo or rinse are frequently tipped on a separate line, normally a few dollars.
- 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, check for an automatic service charge before adding a second gratuity on top.
