Half of the published prices sit between $60 and $145, with a midpoint of $99. That is drawn from 2,140 Australian businesses that publish this pricing, as collected on 18 August 2026.
Why the range is so wide
Massage is priced by the clock more consistently than anything else on this site: 30, 60 and 90 minutes are the standard lines, and the 60-minute price is what most of the middle of this range represents. Where a business also lists remedial or sports work, it usually sits above its relaxation equivalent for the same duration.
By city
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 — 9,355 priced lines from 2,140 businesses, collected on 18 August 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 — 2,140 businesses in our catalogue offer this service, and 2,140 of them publish a price for it. The ones that publish are not a random sample of the ones that do not.
