Direct answer
THE TEN SPOT Appointment Policy runs $52–$60 for the services documented below. That figure comes from 2 separate published amounts, not a single quote. The wider set of charges on this page spans $52–$60 once fees, add-ons and package items are included.
The menu price is seldom the checkout price. Tax and gratuity alone usually add 27% on top of wash & blowout, before any add-on is accepted at the chair.

Market ranges: what everyone else charges
This table is market context, not a brand price list. Its purpose is to show whether a quote you have been given is average, cheap or steep for the U.S. in 2026.
| Service | Market low | National median | Market high | Unit | What drives it |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wash & blowout | $35 | $55 | $95 | per service | Wash and style; length and thickness drive the top end. |
| Eyebrow wax | $12 | $20 | $35 | per service | Shaping only; tint and lamination are separate. |
| Classic lash full set | $100 | $155 | $250 | full set | One extension per natural lash. |
| Basic manicure | $20 | $33 | $50 | per service | File, shape, cuticle work and regular polish. |
| Express facial | $45 | $72 | $110 | 30 minutes | Cleanse, exfoliate and mask. |
These bands describe the national market, not this page's subject. Use them to judge whether a quote is reasonable, not as a price you can book.
Where you live changes the price more than anything else

Tipping: the numbers rather than the etiquette
Two rules do most of the work: tip on the service before tax, and tip the person who performed it.
| Gratuity rate | On $35 | On $55 | On $95 | When it applies |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15% | $5.25 | $8.25 | $14.25 | Standard for a satisfactory service |
| 18% | $6.30 | $9.90 | $17.10 | Common default in mid-size and large metros |
| 20% | $7 | $11 | $19 | Typical for a stylist you intend to rebook with |
| 25% | $8.75 | $13.75 | $23.75 | 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.
- 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.
- Do not tip on membership dues, booth rent, deposits, annual fees, gift-card loads or cancellation charges — no service was performed.
- If more than one person worked on you, ask reception how tips are split before assuming the lead provider receives all of it.
Five ways to overpay without noticing
These recur constantly in pricing disputes. Each is prevented by one question asked before the service starts rather than after.

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.
- "Which provider tier is that quote for, and what does the next tier up cost?"
- "What is the exact price for wash & blowout at my hair length and density?"
- "Is there a first-visit offer or a package rate I should know about?"
- "Can you email or text me the quote before my appointment?"
- "Do you take a deposit, and does it come off the final balance?"
- "If this runs longer than booked, does the price change?"
- "If I join the membership today, is there an enrolment or annual fee on top?"
At checkout: check the itemised total against the quote before paying. Corrections are straightforward at the desk and nearly impossible afterwards.
From menu price to what you actually hand over
This is the gap that surprises people. Starting from a $56 base, here is where the money goes by the time the card is out.
| Line | Amount | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Base service | $56 | The line you see on the menu |
| One typical add-on | $8 | Accepted at the chair without a stated price |
| Subtotal | $64 | Before tax and gratuity |
| Sales tax at 7.5% | $4.80 | Varies by state and city; services are taxable in some states only |
| Gratuity at 20% | $12.80 | Calculated on the service, not on tax |
| Realistic total | $81.60 | 46% above the menu price |
Worked at a $56 base with one add-on. Swap in your own quote and the proportions hold.
Takeaway: budget $82 when the board says $56. The difference is $26.
Swap in your own base price and do this with your own quote.
Twelve months of wash & blowout, priced out
The per-visit price hides the real decision. At every other week, this service costs about $1,584 per year including gratuity if you pay national median rates.
| Provider level | Per visit | Visits/yr | Service spend | Gratuity | Annual total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Budget provider | $35 | 24 | $840 | $168 | $1,008 |
| National median | $55 | 24 | $1,320 | $264 | $1,584 |
| Premium provider | $95 | 24 | $2,280 | $456 | $2,736 |
Cadence comes down to typical maintenance intervals. Your own interval is the largest variable.
The cheapest lever is almost always stretching the cadence, not finding a less expensive provider. Moving from 24 visits per year to 18 saves about $396 annually — usually more than switching salons would.
Your other options, and when each wins
Before deciding, it is worth seeing where this lands against the nearest alternatives on both price and what you get for it.
