Direct answer
Sally Hershberger Salon runs $55–$800 for the services documented below. That figure comes from 4 separate published amounts, not a single quote. The wider set of charges on this page spans $55–$800 once fees, add-ons and package items are included.
The menu price is seldom the checkout price. Tax and gratuity alone generally add 28% on top of women's haircut, before any add-on is accepted at the chair.

Documented price lines, service by service
4 documented amounts, split into services, add-ons, plans and policy charges. Each keeps the exact label it was published under so you can match it against the menu you are shown when you book.
| Line | Published | Midpoint | Spread | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Published curls or styling example | $55 | $55 | — | Sally Hershberger Salon |

A single location's menu proves nothing about the chain. Check with the location you intend to book.
Market ranges: what everyone else charges
This table is market context, not a brand price list. Use it to judge whether a quote you have been given is typical, low or high for the U.S. in 2026.
| Service | Market low | National median | Market high | Unit | What drives it |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Women's haircut | $28 | $69 | $140 | per cut | Generally includes consultation, shampoo and a finish style. |
| Balayage | $150 | $250 | $420 | per service | Hand-painted; long or dark hair pushes past the top end. |
| Full highlights | $120 | $185 | $300 | per service | Full-head foils; toner often added. |
| Partial highlights | $85 | $135 | $215 | per service | Crown and face-frame foils. |
| All-over single-process colour | $65 | $105 | $190 | per service | All-over root-to-tip or root retouch on virgin hair. |
| Keratin smoothing | $180 | $300 | $500 | per service | Smoothing treatment; results last 3-5 months. |
| Hair extensions (install) | $200 | $650 | $2,500 | per install | Hair cost is frequently billed on a separate line from labour. |
| Updo / event styling | $55 | $90 | $175 | per service | Event and bridal styling; trials billed on a separate line. |
These bands describe the national market, not this page's subject. Use them to judge whether a quote is sensible, not as a price you can book.
What women's haircut costs in your metro tier
Location is usually the largest single variable. The national median for women's haircut is $69; the same appointment can land near $48 in a small market and $121 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 | $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 |
Derived by applying regional cost-of-doing-business multipliers to the $69 national median. Treat as a sanity check on a quote you have been given.
The variables that move the number
Each of these is negotiable in the sense that you can refuse it — but only if you know it is coming in advance.
- Treatment add-ons+$25–$70
Bond, gloss and scalp treatments are offered at the bowl.
- Consultation or trial+$50–$150
Bridal and major transformations regularly carry a paid trial.
- Length and density+$25–$90
Below-shoulder or very thick hair adds time to every step.
- Blow-dry finish+$35–$75
Some premium menus price the finish on a separate line from the cut.
- Stylist level+15–70%
Junior, senior, master and director tiers are priced in bands.

Five ways to overpay without noticing
These are the errors that show up repeatedly in pricing complaints. Each is prevented by one question asked before the service starts rather than after.
- 1Booking by salon rather than by stylist tiercosts $60–$200
The same salon can be 70% more costly with a director.
- 2Not confirming whether the finish is includedcosts $40–$80
Premium menus regularly price cut and blow-dry separately.
- 3Missing the trial cost on bridal workcosts $75–$200
Trials are generally a separate paid appointment.
- 4Accepting treatments at the bowlcosts $25–$70
Bond and scalp treatments are offered mid-service without a price.
If you want the policy detail behind these: Salon Cancellation Fees and Salon Consultation Fees.
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.
- "If this runs longer than booked, does the price change?"
- "Is a shampoo, blow-dry or finish included in that price, or billed separately?"
- "Are taxes added at checkout, and do you have a card-payment surcharge?"
- "Do you take a deposit, and does it come off the final balance?"
- "What add-ons do you normally recommend for this service, and what does each cost?"
- "Is there a first-visit offer or a package rate I should know about?"
- "What is the precise price for women's haircut at my hair length and density?"
At checkout: check the itemised total against the quote before paying. Corrections are simple at the desk and nearly impossible afterwards.
Menu price versus final bill
This is the gap that surprises people. Starting from a $390 base, here is where the money goes by the time the card is out.
| Line | Amount | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Base service | $390 | The line you see on the menu |
| One typical add-on | $96 | Accepted at the chair without a stated price |
| Subtotal | $486 | Before tax and gratuity |
| Sales tax at 6.4% | $31.10 | Varies by state and city; services are taxable in some states only |
| Gratuity at 22% | $106.92 | Calculated on the service, not on tax |
| Realistic total | $624.02 | 60% 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 60% to any menu price for women's haircut to get your sensible out-the-door number.
Swap in your own base price and try it with your own figures.
What women's haircut costs you over per year
Most budgets break at the cadence, not the price. Women's haircut maintained every 10 weeks works out to roughly $414 a year 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 |
Assumes 5 visits per year. Every number here scales with that visit count.
Dropping one visit per year saves approximately $83. Dropping the cadence by a quarter saves about $104. Compare that against what you would save by moving to a lower-priced provider before you switch.
How much to tip on this service
Working out a percentage on the spot is a nuisance. Below they are converted into actual dollars at the low, middle and high end of the national range.
| 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 |
- If the salon owner performed the service, tipping is optional by convention - though rarely refused.
- If more than one person worked on you, ask reception how tips are split before assuming the lead provider receives all of it.
- 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.
- An automatic service charge ought to be disclosed when you book. Spot one on the bill, ask whether it goes to the provider before adding more.
Worth comparing before you commit
Price alone rarely settles it. Compare scope first — what is actually included — then compare the number.
