Direct answer
The working number is $12–$72. Across the 4 amounts published for Tune Up The Manly Salon, the middle of the range lands at $43, the cheapest documented line is $12 and the highest is $72.
The single most helpful habit is to ask for the service name and the tier together. "Men's haircut" on its own can map to three different prices on the same menu.

- The full documented set spans $12–$72 once fees and add-ons are counted.
- The U.S. national median for men's haircut is $43 per cut.

What the brand actually publishes
Everything below was published by a source listed at the foot of this page. Grouping matters: 4 of these 4 lines are actual services and the rest are add-ons, plans or policy charges that should never be averaged together.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Beard trim | $12–$20 | $16 | $8 | Tune Up The Manly Salon |
| Adult haircut | $33–$39 | $36 | $6 | Tune Up The Manly Salon |
| Pedicure | $50 | $50 | — | Tune Up The Manly Salon |

How this compares with the wider U.S. market
A quote well above these bands is not automatically bad value - it normally means a different scope, a senior provider, or an costly metro. This table tells you which question to ask.
| Service | Market low | National median | Market high | Unit | What drives it |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Men's haircut | $18 | $43 | $75 | per cut | Barbershop and men's-chain cuts; clipper work only sits at the low end. |
| Beard trim & shape | $15 | $28 | $50 | per service | Line-up and shape; hot-towel finish costs more. |
| Hot-towel straight shave | $30 | $48 | $80 | per service | Straight-razor shave with towel and balm. |
| Back or chest wax | $40 | $62 | $100 | per service | Routinely sold to men as a package. |
| Eyebrow wax | $12 | $20 | $35 | per service | Shaping only; tint and lamination are separate. |

The same service, four different markets
Location is generally the largest single variable. The national median for men's haircut is $43; the same appointment can land near $30 in a small market and $75 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 | $58–$75 | 1.35–1.75× | Manhattan, San Francisco, Boston, Seattle, Washington DC, Miami Beach |
| Tier 2 - large metros | $47–$57 | 1.10–1.32× | Chicago, Los Angeles suburbs, Denver, Austin, Atlanta, San Diego, Portland |
| Tier 3 - mid-size metros | $40–$47 | 0.94–1.10× | Columbus, Kansas City, Charlotte, Nashville, Phoenix, Indianapolis |
| Tier 4 - small metro and rural | $30–$40 | 0.70–0.93× | Smaller cities, county seats and rural markets |
Your own market may sit between tiers. The point is the 2.5x spread, not the exact figure in any one row.
Where the extra money goes
Ask about these at booking, not at checkout. All of them are easier to decline before you arrive than mid-appointment.
- Product finish+$5–$20
Balms and tonics are often added at the chair.
- Straight-razor work+$10–$25
Neck line-ups by razor cost more than clipper edging.
- Package versus a la carte+$10–$30
Cut-plus-beard bundles generally save on the pair.
- Beard length at arrival+$8–$25
Heavy growth needs more time than a maintenance trim.

Twelve months of men's haircut, priced out
The per-visit price hides the real decision. At every 4 weeks, this service costs about $671 a year including gratuity if you pay national median rates.
| Provider level | Per visit | Visits/yr | Service spend | Gratuity | Annual total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Budget provider | $18 | 13 | $234 | $47 | $281 |
| National median | $43 | 13 | $559 | $112 | $671 |
| Premium provider | $75 | 13 | $975 | $195 | $1,170 |
Assumes 13 visits annually. Change that number and every figure in this table moves with it.
Before hunting a reduction, check the cadence. Going from 13 to 10 visits annually keeps approximately $134 in your pocket at the same quality of work.
Gratuity, converted from percentages into money
Two rules do most of the work: tip on the service before tax, and tip the person who performed it.
| Gratuity rate | On $18 | On $43 | On $75 | When it applies |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15% | $2.70 | $6.45 | $11.25 | Standard for a satisfactory service |
| 18% | $3.24 | $7.74 | $13.50 | Common default in mid-size and large metros |
| 20% | $3.60 | $8.60 | $15 | Typical for a stylist you intend to rebook with |
| 25% | $4.50 | $10.75 | $18.75 | Reserved for complex colour, long appointments or a rescue job |
- If the salon owner performed the service, tipping is optional by norm - though seldom refused.
- If more than one person worked on you, ask reception how tips are split before assuming the lead provider receives all of it.
- Assistants who shampoo or rinse are often tipped on a separate line, usually a few dollars.
- Cash is the most direct route and is still preferred in most independent studios.
Five ways to overpay without noticing
Each of these is common, avoidable, and has a dollar figure attached. Not one requires negotiation — just one question asked at the right time.
- 1Not asking whether the razor line-up is includedcosts $10–$25
Straight-razor edging is often an add-on.
- 2Arriving with heavy growth for a "trim"costs $8–$25
Heavy growth is often reclassified as a shape-up at a higher price.
If you want the policy detail behind these: Salon Cancellation Fees and Salon Consultation Fees.
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.
- "What add-ons do you normally recommend for this service, and what does each cost?"
- "What is the exact price for men's haircut at my hair length and density?"
- "Is there a first-visit offer or a package rate I should know about?"
- "Is a shampoo, blow-dry or finish included in that price, or billed separately?"
- "Is removal of my existing product included, or is it a separate charge?"
- "If this runs longer than booked, does the price change?"
- "Are taxes added at checkout, and do you have a card-payment surcharge?"
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 $39 base, here is where the money goes by the time the card is out.
| Line | Amount | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Base service | $39 | The line you see on the menu |
| One typical add-on | $9 | Accepted at the chair without a stated price |
| Subtotal | $48 | Before tax and gratuity |
| Sales tax at 7.5% | $3.60 | Varies by state and city; services are taxable in some states only |
| Gratuity at 22% | $10.56 | Calculated on the service, not on tax |
| Sensible total | $62.16 | 59% above the menu price |
Worked at a $39 base with one add-on. Swap in your own quote and the proportions hold.
Plan for the total, not the base. The $23 gap between the two is the part people forget when comparing two salons.
Swap in your own base price and try it with your own figures.
Worth comparing before you commit
Before deciding, it is worth seeing where this sits against the nearest alternatives on both price and what you get for it.
