How much does a brow appointment cost in Cairns?

Shaping, tinting, lamination and cosmetic tattooing, side by side. This page is the Cairns cut of it.

The range in Cairns

Lower quartile: $20
Midpoint: $32
Upper quartile: $54

Half of the brows prices published in Cairns sit between $20 and $54, with a midpoint of $32. That is drawn from 31 businesses in Cairns that publish this pricing, as collected on 25 September 2026.

Against the rest of the country

The midpoint in Cairns is $13 below the national midpoint of $45, or about 29 per cent cheaper. That gap is between published price lists, not between quotes, so it describes how businesses advertise rather than what every appointment costs.

Why the range is so wide

Two quite different things share this category. A shape or a tint is one of the cheapest appointments in the catalogue; lamination sits well above it, and brow tattooing — microblading and powder brows — is several times either, which is what stretches the top of the range.

The other cities

Largest sample first. A city appears only where at least 25 businesses publish this pricing, because below that a single expensive salon moves the whole row.

What these numbers are, and are not

Every figure is computed from businesses’ own published service menus — 91 priced lines from 31 businesses in Cairns, collected on 25 September 2026. None of it is typed in by hand.

A published price is not a quote. What you are charged depends on your hair, your skin and how long the appointment actually takes, and many businesses quote on consultation rather than publishing at all. Nationally, 2,498 businesses in our catalogue offer this service and 2,498 publish a price for it. The ones that publish are not a random sample of the ones that do not.
