Half of the published prices sit between $75 and $335, with a midpoint of $145. That is drawn from 510 Australian businesses that publish this pricing, as collected on 25 September 2026.
Why the range is so wide
The widest-spread category on this site after lightening work, and for a specific reason: most published lines are labour only, with the hair itself quoted separately or on consultation. A maintenance move-up and a full new installation therefore sit at opposite ends of the same category, and neither figure includes what the hair costs.
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.
| City | Lower quartile | Midpoint | Upper quartile | Businesses |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sydney | $96 | $160 | $400 | 97 |
| Melbourne | $84 | $150 | $330 | 93 |
| Brisbane | $60 | $100 | $180 | 42 |
| Gold Coast | $70 | $160 | $450 | 40 |
| Perth | $87 | $130 | $249 | 37 |
What these numbers are, and are not
Every figure is computed from businesses’ own published service menus — 1,465 priced lines from 510 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 — 510 businesses in our catalogue offer this service, and 510 of them publish a price for it. The ones that publish are not a random sample of the ones that do not.
