Hair Salon Price List: A Copy-and-Paste Template and What Each Service Earns per Chair Hour
In short
A hair salon price list groups services into cuts, styling, color and highlights, gives each a starting price and says what raises it. On four salon menus we read October 12, 2026, standard adult haircuts were listed from $35 to $154 and balayage from $100 to $400. Set each price from the chair time it books, not from competitors alone.
- Keep a booked length and a buffer next to every price, because a long color can earn less per hour than its price suggests.
- In our hypothetical menu, raising a $110 color to $137 brings it level with the $68 an hour a women's cut earns.
- Monaco Salon in Tampa prices by seven stylist levels: its full foil highlights run $210 to $282 (read October 12, 2026).

This guide is for salon owners and stylists who write or reprice their own menu. It gives you a price list template to copy and the prices four real salons list for the same services. It also shows how to check what each service earns for the chair time it books.
We read four U.S. salons' own price lists on October 12, 2026. They are Arizona Hair, a salon group around Phoenix; Monaco Salon in Tampa; Zina's Hair Salon in Cambridge, Massachusetts; and Kim Sun Young Hair Salon (KSY) in Los Angeles. Each came up in our search for this topic that day and publishes its prices on its own site. We left out the price averages from aggregator sites and vendor blogs in the same results, because they do not show which salon charges what. Four menus are examples, not a national survey.
Twizzlo publishes this guide and sells salon scheduling software. In Twizzlo, every service carries its own price and duration, and buffer times sit between appointments, the same three fields this template asks you to fill in.
What should a hair salon price list include?
A hair salon price list should name each service the way clients ask for it, give a starting price, and say what raises that price, such as hair length, stylist level or extra product. All four menus we read group their services by type, and the groups below cover the hair services they have in common:
Cuts: women's, men's and children's haircuts, plus bang and neck trims.
Styling: blowouts, updos and silk presses.
Color: single-process or all-over color, root touch-ups and toners.
Highlights: partial and full foils, babylights and balayage.
Texture and treatments: perms, relaxers, keratin and conditioning treatments.
Consultation services: extensions and color correction, priced after a consultation or by the hour.
Monaco Salon, for example, prices extensions and toppers after a free consultation and charges color correction by the hour. Below the services, add the lines that prevent arguments at checkout: what a price includes, whether long or thick hair costs more, how stylist levels change the price, and your deposit and cancellation rule.
Zina's Hair Salon shows how short that rule can be. Its menu, read October 12, 2026, asks for a $50 deposit on services over $100 and says deposits are nonrefundable. A written rule like that can help protect higher-priced appointments, and our guide on how to reduce no-shows in a salon covers other steps.
What does a copy-and-paste price list template look like?
A usable price list template is a table with one row per service: the name clients know, a starting price, the booked length with its buffer, and what raises the price. Copy Table 1 into your own document and replace each bracket.
| Category | Service | Starting price | Length plus buffer | What raises the price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cuts | Women's cut and style | $[ ] | [45] min plus [15] | Hair past the shoulder; stylist level |
| Cuts | Men's cut | $[ ] | [30] min plus [10] | Beard trim added |
| Cuts | Children's cut (under [10]) | $[ ] | [ ] min plus [ ] | [ ] |
| Styling | Blowout | $[ ] | [40] min plus [10] | Long or thick hair |
| Color | Single-process color | $[ ] | [90] min plus [15] | Extra bowl of color; length |
| Highlights | Full highlights | $[ ] | [150] min plus [15] | Foil count; toner |
| Highlights | Balayage | $[ ] | [180] min plus [15] | Toner; hair history |
| Treatments | Keratin treatment | $[ ] | [ ] min plus [ ] | Length and density |
| Consultation | Extensions; color correction | After consultation | [ ] | Hair supplied; hours needed |
Table 1. Copy-and-paste hair salon price list template. The bracketed lengths match the hypothetical menu in Table 3; replace them with your own timings.
Use this salon price list template as your master copy. The menu you show clients can leave out the length column, but keep the lengths and buffers in your booking setup, because they decide how many services fit in a day.
Write a starting price, such as "$80+" or "$65 and up," only when the menu also says what moves it. Arizona Hair, for instance, notes that final pricing depends on hair length, thickness, service complexity and stylist level.
What do salons charge for cuts, color and highlights in 2026?
On the four menus we read October 12, 2026, standard adult haircuts were listed from $35 to $154 and single-process color from $65 to $191. Full highlights ran from $80 to $282 and balayage from $100 to $400.
| Service | Arizona Hair (Phoenix area) | Monaco Salon (Tampa), seven levels | Zina's Hair Salon (Cambridge, Mass.) | KSY (Los Angeles), Senior / Head |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Haircut | $35+ adult cut, no style; $54+ cut and style | Women $103 to $154; men $70 to $126 | $65 (cut) | Women from $60 / $70; men from $45 / $50 |
| Blowout | Not listed under that name | $80 to $112 | $45 and up | Not listed under that name |
| Single-process color | $80+ (all-over color) | $138 to $191 | $65 | From $80 / $100 (permanent color) |
| Full highlights | $120+ (full weave) | $210 to $282 (full foil) | $80 (full highlight); $140 (full foil) | From $150 / $250 |
| Balayage | $135+ (balayage or ombré) | $250 to $349 (hand-painted) | $100 | From $350 / $400 (toner included) |
Table 2. Prices as each salon's own page lists them, read October 12, 2026; '+' and 'from' mark starting prices. Arizona Hair's are baseline prices that vary by stylist level, Monaco Salon lists seven stylist levels, and KSY lists Senior and Head stylist prices for very short hair, with Master stylists by consultation. Re-check each page before relying on a figure.
Part of the spread comes from stylist levels and from what a price includes; the rest is between salons. Monaco Salon's women's cut runs from $103 at its first level to $154 at its seventh, a gap of $51 for the same service name. Arizona Hair's $35 adult cut includes a shampoo and a wet finish, while its cut with a styled finish starts at $54.
So compare like with like before you copy a price: a cut with a blow-dry is a different service from a cut that leaves the chair wet. If you are a client checking what a cut should cost, the salon's own menu and a consultation are the reliable sources. These ranges show how far menus differ, not what a salon near you charges.
How do you work out what a service earns per chair hour?
Take the price, subtract the product the service uses, and divide by the hours it books, buffer included. A $110 color with $18 of product that books 90 minutes plus a 15-minute buffer earns $92 over 1.75 hours, or $52.57 per chair hour.
| Service | Price | Minutes booked (service plus buffer) | Product cost | Earned per chair hour after product | Price at $68 an hour |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Women's cut and style | $70 | 45 plus 15 = 60 | $2 | $68.00 | $70.00 |
| Men's cut | $40 | 30 plus 10 = 40 | $1 | $58.50 | $46.33 |
| Blowout | $50 | 40 plus 10 = 50 | $3 | $56.40 | $59.67 |
| Single-process color | $110 | 90 plus 15 = 105 | $18 | $52.57 | $137.00 |
| Full highlights | $180 | 150 plus 15 = 165 | $25 | $56.36 | $212.00 |
| Balayage | $230 | 180 plus 15 = 195 | $30 | $61.54 | $251.00 |
Table 3. Hypothetical menu: prices, lengths, buffers and product costs are examples for illustration, not measured data. The last column is the price each service needs to earn $68 per booked chair hour, the women's cut's rate.
The color earns less than the $70 women's cut because it books almost twice as long and uses more product. The buffer counts as well: without its 15 minutes, the same color would earn $61.33 an hour. These examples only show how the numbers move; your own timings decide the real rates.
If you are writing a full plan for a new salon, the same lengths feed the capacity worksheet in our salon business plan template.
Which services should you reprice first?
Reprice first the services that earn the least per booked chair hour; in the hypothetical menu that is single-process color, which needs $137 rather than $110 to match the women's cut. The price a service needs equals your target hourly rate times the hours it books, plus its product cost.
Time each service for a week, including cleanup and consultation, and note the product it uses.
Pick a target rate per booked chair hour, such as the rate your most popular cut earns.
Work out the price each service needs at that rate and compare it with the current price.
Raise the services furthest behind in steps, and tell clients in advance with the date the new price starts.
Review the menu at least once a year, and again when product costs or stylist levels change.
If stylists work at different levels, run the same check for each level; Monaco Salon, for example, lists a separate price at each of its seven levels.
Where Twizzlo fits
Twizzlo is web-based online booking and appointment scheduling software for appointment-based service businesses, and it fits once the menu is set: each service gets its own price, duration and buffer time. You assign each service to the stylists who perform it.
Clients book from a 24/7 online booking page with real-time availability, and each booking takes the length and buffer you set. For long services you can turn on prepaid bookings, where the client pays the full service price online through Stripe when booking. If a client does not show, you decide whether to keep or refund the payment.
The plan choice follows from your booking count. A solo stylist with 25 appointments a week makes about 108 bookings a month (25 times 52, divided by 12). That fits inside the Free plan's 150 a month, and Free is $0 and sends email reminders, not SMS. A three-chair salon at the same pace makes about 325 bookings a month, past that cap, so it needs Business Pro at $29.99 a month per business with unlimited bookings.
Business Pro includes 50 SMS a month, then $0.03 each, so one text reminder per booking at 325 bookings adds 275 times $0.03, or $8.25, for $38.24 a month. Online payments carry Stripe processing at your Stripe rate plus a 1.5% Twizzlo platform fee: prepaying 40 of Table 3's hypothetical $110 colors, or $4,400, adds $66 in platform fees.
Both plans include unlimited staff and locations, and Business Pro comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If your menu sells packages or memberships, note that Twizzlo's /features/ page does not list them. A salon that runs mostly on walk-ins gets less from service lengths, because the queue sets the day; our guide to Waitwhile for barbershops explains when a queue tool fits better. If you are comparing tools, our best salon booking software guide and the booking software comparisons set out what each platform charges. Stylists who rent a chair can start with our guide to the best scheduling app for hair stylists. Plan details are on Twizzlo pricing. To load your menu, start on the Free plan and move to Business Pro when bookings pass 150 a month or you want SMS reminders.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a haircut cost at a hair salon in 2026?
Standard adult haircuts ranged from Arizona Hair's $35 wet-finish cut to $154 at Monaco Salon's top stylist level, on four salon menus read October 12, 2026. Length, stylist level and styling change the price.
What is the best layout for a salon price list template?
Group services by type, give each a starting price and add a line on what raises it. Keep the booked length and buffer beside each service in your master copy, even if the menu clients see leaves them out.
Should a salon price list show starting prices?
Yes, when the final price depends on hair length, thickness or stylist level; all four menus we read say their prices vary with at least one of these. Say what moves the price so the client is not surprised at checkout.
How do I know if a salon service is underpriced?
Subtract the product cost from the price and divide by the hours the service books, buffer included. Compare that rate with your best-earning service: in our hypothetical menu, a $110 color earned $52.57 an hour against $68 for the women's cut.
How often should a salon update its prices?
Check the menu every year and whenever product costs or stylist levels change. Announce new prices ahead of time, with the date they take effect, so clients can plan.
