Why the range is so wide
Barber price lists are the flattest of any category here — most quote one number for a cut and one for a beard trim. What moves the total is combinations: cut-and-beard packages, and the skin fade or hot-towel lines that sit above the standard cut.
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 — 2,256 priced lines from 1,012 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 — 1,012 businesses in our catalogue offer this service, and 1,012 of them publish a price for it. The ones that publish are not a random sample of the ones that do not.
