How much does a manicure cost in Perth?

Manicures, pedicures and gel work, from published price lists. This page is the Perth cut of it.

The range in Perth

Lower quartile: $40
Midpoint: $60
Upper quartile: $76

Half of the nails prices published in Perth sit between $40 and $76, with a midpoint of $60. That is drawn from 71 businesses in Perth that publish this pricing, as collected on 25 September 2026.

Against the rest of the country

The midpoint in Perth is $5 above the national midpoint of $55, or about 9 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

A plain manicure sits at the bottom, gel and shellac a step above it, and full extensions — acrylic, SNS, builder gel — above that again. Removal and soak-off are frequently separate lines, which is worth knowing when comparing two lists that look far apart.

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 — 393 priced lines from 71 businesses in Perth, 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, 973 businesses in our catalogue offer this service and 973 publish a price for it. The ones that publish are not a random sample of the ones that do not.
