How to price salon services so every appointment makes a profit

The salon price calculator works out a fair price for haircuts, colour and beauty services from four numbers: the product cost per service, the minutes it takes, your overhead per hour (rent, utilities, software) and the profit margin you want.

Many salons set prices by copying the salon down the road. Pricing by time and cost shows which services really make money and which ones lose it. The calculator is free and needs no sign-up.

Salon pricing: common questions

How do I calculate the price of a salon service?

Add the product cost, add your overhead for the minutes the service takes, then add your target profit margin. The calculator does this for you and shows the minimum profitable price.

What profit margin should a salon aim for?

Many salons aim for roughly 30–60% per service, depending on rent, staff costs and the local market. Use your own numbers rather than a rule of thumb.

Why price by time and not only by service?

Your costs run by the hour. A service that takes twice as long uses twice the rent, wages and overhead, so its price should reflect the time.

Is the salon price calculator free?

Yes. It is free and needs no sign-up.
