a quarter are dearer
Half of the published prices sit between $70 and $179, with a midpoint of $120. That is drawn from 2,199 Australian businesses that publish this pricing, as collected on 25 September 2026.
Why the range is so wide
A wide category holding two ends of a market. An express or introductory facial anchors the bottom; the top is machine-assisted and multi-step treatments, often sold as courses, which is why the upper quartile runs so far ahead of the median.
By city
Largest sample first, and each city has its own page. 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 — 10,470 priced lines from 2,199 businesses, 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 — 2,199 businesses in our catalogue offer this service, and 2,199 of them publish a price for it. The ones that publish are not a random sample of the ones that do not.
