Where do these prices come from?

They are read from the service menus businesses publish on their own websites — 950 individual priced lines across 274 businesses in Melbourne. They are not quotes, and businesses that publish pricing are not a random sample of the market.

How much do hair treatments cost in Melbourne?

Conditioning, bond-building, keratin and smoothing treatments, side by side. This page is the Melbourne cut of it.

The range in Melbourne

Lower quartile: $65
Midpoint: $229
Upper quartile: $360

Half of the hair treatments prices published in Melbourne sit between $65 and $360, with a midpoint of $229. That is drawn from 274 businesses in Melbourne that publish this pricing, as collected on 25 September 2026.

Against the rest of the country

The midpoint in Melbourne is $64 above the national midpoint of $165, or about 39 per cent dearer. 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 different things share this category. An in-salon conditioning or bond-building treatment added to another appointment is one of the cheaper lines in the catalogue; keratin and permanent smoothing are standalone appointments taking hours, and they are what stretches the top of the range. Length surcharges are common on both.

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 — 950 priced lines from 274 businesses in Melbourne, 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, 1,515 businesses in our catalogue offer this service and 1,515 publish a price for it. The ones that publish are not a random sample of the ones that do not.
