Direct answer
THE TEN SPOT Cancellation 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 rarely the checkout price. Tax and gratuity alone usually add 26% on top of wash & blowout, before any add-on is accepted at the chair.

Every published amount we could verify
2 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 at booking.
| Line | Published | Midpoint | Spread | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bare It All wax membership | $52 | $52 | — | THE TEN SPOT |
| Get Nailed membership | $60 | $60 | — | THE TEN SPOT |
Franchisees price within a corporate range rather than to a fixed card. Treat these as documented examples.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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. |
Compiled national figures for context only. No brand on this page has published these numbers, and none of them is a bookable rate.
The same service, four different markets
Location is usually the largest single variable. The national median for wash & blowout is $55; the same appointment can land near $38 in a small market and $96 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 | $74–$96 | 1.35–1.75× | Manhattan, San Francisco, Boston, Seattle, Washington DC, Miami Beach |
| Tier 2 - large metros | $61–$73 | 1.10–1.32× | Chicago, Los Angeles suburbs, Denver, Austin, Atlanta, San Diego, Portland |
| Tier 3 - mid-size metros | $52–$61 | 0.94–1.10× | Columbus, Kansas City, Charlotte, Nashville, Phoenix, Indianapolis |
| Tier 4 - small metro and rural | $38–$51 | 0.70–0.93× | Smaller cities, county seats and rural markets |
Bands scale the $55 national median by published metro cost multipliers. Planning ranges, not quotes.
What actually changes your price
Ask about these when you book, not at checkout. Every one of them is easier to decline before you arrive than halfway through a service.
- Service mix+$10–$35
Bundled bar menus price below buying services on a separate line.
- Provider tier+10–30%
Senior providers sit above the base menu.
- Add-on finishing+$10–$30
Finishing touches are offered at the chair.

The booking script, word for word
Ask these when you book rather than on arrival. Once you are gowned and in the chair, declining an add-on becomes socially much harder — which is the reason they come up at that moment.
- "If I join the membership today, is there an enrolment or annual fee on top?"
- "Is a shampoo, blow-dry or finish included in that price, or billed on a separate line?"
- "What add-ons do you normally recommend for this service, and what does each cost?"
- "If this runs longer than booked, does the price change?"
- "What is your cancellation window, and what is the charge if I miss it?"
- "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?"
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
Work it forwards once and you will never be caught out again. A $56 service does not cost $56.
| Line | Amount | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Base service | $56 | The line you see on the menu |
| One typical add-on | $9 | Accepted at the chair without a stated price |
| Subtotal | $65 | Before tax and gratuity |
| Sales tax at 8.0% | $5.20 | Varies by state and city; services are taxable in some states only |
| Gratuity at 20% | $13 | Calculated on the service, not on tax |
| Sensible total | $83.20 | 49% above the menu price |
Worked at a $56 base with one add-on. Swap in your own quote and the proportions hold.
Takeaway: budget $83 when the board says $56. The difference is $27.
To check a specific quote, run the numbers for your own service.
Annual cost of ownership
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 | Each 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 |
Assumes 24 visits a year. Adjust the visit count and every figure here moves with it.
The lever most of us reach for - switching salons - is generally the weakest one. Moving from the $55 median to the $35 budget end saves $576 per year, but so does just stretching the interval by a quarter.
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 |
- Card tips may be pooled or delayed to the next pay run. Ask if you want it to reach one person directly.
- Do not tip on membership dues, booth rent, deposits, annual fees, gift-card loads or cancellation charges — no service was performed.
- Holiday tipping is a separate convention from per-visit tipping and is usually a one-off larger amount.
- On a $55 service, the difference between an 18% and a 20% tip is $1.10. It matters less than whether you tip at all.
