Where these come from
Each figure is computed from the service menus businesses publish on their own websites, as collected on 18 August 2026. Nothing here is typed in by hand, and nothing is an average — an average of a category holding $25 lip waxes and $180 full-body appointments describes neither.
A price list is not a quote. Businesses that publish their pricing are not a random sample of the market, longer or thicker hair often costs more than the number advertised, and a great many businesses quote on consultation instead. Every page below states how many businesses its numbers came from, so you can judge how much weight to put on them.
