About HowMuchBeauty

Hi everyone,

A friend of mine spent an entire afternoon calling nail salons trying to find out what a gel manicure costs. Most wouldn't give a straight price over the phone. She only learned the real number when she was already in the chair.

That's the whole problem this site solves. Beauty prices stay a mystery until you've already committed, and the same service can cost double across the street.

So here's the idea: customers report what they actually paid (salon, service, price) and everyone sees the real numbers. Thirty seconds, no account, anonymous. We turn reports into medians and ranges per salon and per city, so you know what's typical before you book.

Where customers haven't reported yet, you'll see prices published by the salons themselves, or a clearly labeled estimate. Real local reports take over the moment they arrive. A guess is never mixed in with real prices without being labeled.

We don't sell anything, don't book appointments, and don't give beauty advice. This site gets better every time someone shares a receipt, so please share it with a friend.

xoxo,
