Free Salon Price List Template, and How to Price Salon Services

The short answer

Gaplessly's free salon price list template is an editable Word file, with hair, nails, lashes, brows, waxing and skin services listed and the times and prices left for you.

To price a service, add up what an hour of your team's time costs, your overheads for each booked hour and the products it uses, then add your margin.

A qualified hairdresser on the award costs at least $32.98 an hour with super, before any time goes unbooked.

The common services are already listed. Rename, delete or add services, change the groups, and fill in your times and prices. Free, no sign-up.

What to put on a salon price list

  • Services grouped the way clients look for them: cuts, colour, treatments, or nails, lashes and brows, waxing and skin.
  • Names clients understand. "Half head foils" says more than a product brand.
  • The time each service takes, so clients can plan and book the right slot.
  • One full price for each service, including GST if you are registered for it.
  • What changes a price, such as hair length or the artist's level, said plainly.
  • Your rules: how long before a lash infill counts as a full set, and how far ahead a colour client needs a skin test.
  • Your booking link and the short version of your cancellation policy.

The template has all of these, with the common services already listed on a hair page and a beauty page.

How to price salon services

Work out what a service costs you before you look at what anyone else charges. Four numbers do it:

  • Wages for each booked hour: the hourly rate plus super, leave and workers compensation, divided by the share of paid hours that have a client in them.
  • Overheads for each booked hour: a month's rent, power, software, insurance, laundry and other fixed costs, divided by the hours you book in that month.
  • Products: the colour, developer, lashes, adhesive, wax or polish one service uses.
  • Your margin: what is left for profit, training and the quiet months.

A service's cost is the wage and overheads per booked hour, times the hours it takes, plus its products. Add your margin to get the price, then GST on top if you're registered. As an example of the first number: under the Hair and Beauty Award, a hairdresser with a Certificate III (Level 3) earns at least $29.45 an hour from the first full pay period on or after 1 July 2026, or $32.98 with 12% super. If one paid hour in five has no client in it, every booked hour has to carry $41.23 of wages, before leave, overheads or products.

Then compare with salons near you. If your number comes out well above theirs, look at your empty hours before your prices: filling them lowers the cost of every booked hour.

Ways to structure salon prices

One price per service is simplest, but the published lash price lists below show a few other ways to do it:

  • By time: Browco sells most lash styles as a 45-minute, one-hour or 75-minute set, each at its own price.
  • By artist level: Lash Envy prices its sets by who does them: an emerging artist, a senior artist or its artistic director.
  • By style: Grace's Lashes lists each style, from classic to mega volume, with its own full set and infill price.
  • By weeks since the last visit: Lucky Lashes prices infills at 2 to 3 weeks and 3 to 4 weeks, and Lash Envy's full prices apply after the fourth week.

Pricing by time or level suits a salon where the same service can take very different amounts of work. Whichever you pick, a client should be able to read the price before they book.

Lash extension prices in Australia

These are the prices four lash salons publish on their own websites, read on 1 October 2026. Across them, a classic full set costs $105 to $185 and a hybrid set $143 to $280, depending on the salon, the artist and the length of the appointment.

Four salons make a small sample, and salons change their prices. Check the salons near you before you set your own.

Showing your prices: GST and "from" prices

The ACCC says businesses must display the total price of a service as a single figure: the lowest amount a customer could pay, including taxes and any unavoidable fees. On a price list, that means the GST-inclusive price, not a price with "+ GST" after it.

If a price depends on hair length or the artist, show the lowest price a client can actually book, marked "from", and say what makes it higher, such as long or thick hair. Charging more on public holidays works the same way for a salon: show the full price for that day, since the menu surcharge exemption covers food and drink only.

When to review your prices

Award rates change every year after the Fair Work Commission's Annual Wage Review, usually from the first full pay period on or after 1 July, so that is a natural time to rerun your numbers. Do it again when a supplier puts up the price of a product you use in every service, or when your booked hours change for long enough to move your cost per hour.

Your price list in Gaplessly

In Gaplessly, each service has its own name, time and price, and services sit in groups the way they do on a printed list. Your booking page shows clients the price of each service as they choose and the total before they confirm, with the GST included shown if you are registered for GST. Changing a price never changes your booking link, so a printed QR code keeps working, and Reports show what each service brought in.

Where these figures come from

The Hair and Beauty Industry Award 2020 as published by the Fair Work Commission, the ACCC's guidance on price displays, and the four salons' own price lists, all read on 1 October 2026. This is general information, not financial or legal advice.

Common questions

How do I make a salon price list?

Group your services the way clients look for them, give each one a plain name, its time and one full price including GST if you are registered, and say what changes a price. Add your booking link and cancellation policy. The free template on this page has the common hair and beauty services listed already.

How much are lash extensions in Australia?

In four Australian salons' published price lists, read on 1 October 2026, a classic full set cost $105 to $185 and a hybrid set $143 to $280, depending on the salon, the artist's level and the length of the appointment. Infills, where listed, were $65 to $140.

How do I work out what to charge for a salon service?

Add up the wages and overheads for each booked hour, multiply by the hours the service takes, and add the products it uses. Then add your margin, and GST if you are registered. Compare the result with nearby salons, and if yours is much higher, look first at how many paid hours go unbooked.

Do salon prices have to include GST?

The prices you display should. The ACCC says the price shown must be the total as a single figure, the lowest amount a customer could pay, including taxes and unavoidable fees. A GST-registered salon shows GST-inclusive prices, not a price with "+ GST" after it.

Can I edit this salon price list template?

Yes. The Word file lists the common hair, nail, lash, brow, waxing and skin services with a shaded space for each time and price. Rename or delete any service, and add one by pressing Tab in the last price of a list. Change the group names to match your menu.
