EVER WONDER WHY PRICES DIFFER BETWEEN HAIR SALONS ?
It’s something people notice when comparing salons—similar services, but different pricing. And it can be confusing if you’re only looking at the end result in the mirror. What’s often not seen is everything that sits behind the chair. Every salon is structured differently. At The Ark, we believe in offering honest advice, and helping our clients choose services that suit their hair goals, lifestyle, and budget.
Costs can vary depending on things like:
Rent (which changes significantly depending on location and space)
Number of staff and wage structures & whether they are standard or above award.
Workers’ compensation (varies with the amount of $$ in wages & super)
Superannuation (which increases .5% every year until it reaches 15% . this year it will go to 12.5% on top of wages)
Professional products used in services
Foils, colours, treatments, and consumables, gloves, towels, disinfectants and consumables
Equipment, maintenance, and upgrades
Insurance
Licences and industry compliance
Ongoing education and training
Electricity, water, internet and phone services
Booking systems, software and merchant fees
Marketing and advertising.
And that's before a single service is performed.
Then there’s the service itself—time, technique, experience, and the level of care involved. The condition, thickness, and length of your hair whether specialised treatments are included & the time allocated for your appointment.
So, what looks like the “same service” on the surface can actually be very different underneath. When you support a local salon, you're not simply paying for the hour you spend in the chair. You're investing in the experience, the expertise, the products, the equipment and the team that make that service possible.
This is why prices can vary so much from one salon to another. It’s not about right or wrong—it’s about different business structures, different standards, and different levels of service delivery. So remember the cheapest price doesn't mean the best experience. At The Ark, we believe in transparency and helping clients understand what goes into the services they choose, so they can make informed decisions that suit their hair goals and lifestyle. Come on board with us at The Ark we have decades of experience with happy laughable staff doing their best just for you.
