Good to know

What you're paying for
Short add-on services: tidying a beard, the back of the neck, or a fringe between full cuts.
Trims are the cheapest thing on a salon menu and exist mainly to fill short gaps in the chair between booked cuts.
The standard adult cut: the headline number most people mean when they ask what a chain charges.
Base-cut pricing is set per franchise rather than nationally, so two locations of the same brand in one metro can differ by several dollars.
- Franchise owners set their own prices within brand guidance
- Metro locations price above rural ones
- Longer hair may carry a surcharge at some brands
Finishing services priced separately from the cut: blow-dry, iron work, and formal or occasion styling.
Formal and occasion styling sits at the top of the styling menu and is normally booked ahead rather than walked in.
- Hair length is the main driver
- Occasion styling books longer chair time
A haircut priced for children, usually under an age cutoff the salon sets (commonly 10, 12 or 13).
Kids' pricing is one of the few places where chains differ sharply from independents: the discount is fixed and published rather than negotiated at the chair.
- The age cutoff differs by brand
- Some franchises charge the adult rate for longer hair regardless of age
A discounted haircut for older customers, typically 60 or 65 and over.
The senior rate covers the same service as a standard cut; the discount reflects the brand's pricing policy, not a shorter appointment.
- Qualifying age varies between 55, 60 and 65 by brand
- Not every franchise location honours it
