Walk into any salon in Faisalabad and ask for a facial, and you might hear Rs. 800. Walk into a premium salon in Lahore and the same word could cost Rs. 10,000. So what do salon treatment prices in Pakistan actually look like in 2026?
This honest price guide breaks down what popular beauty treatments really cost across Pakistan — from basic clean-ups to full bridal packages. Prices are in Pakistani rupees and reflect typical 2026 rates at mid-range salons in cities like Faisalabad, Lahore and Karachi.
Why Salon Prices Vary So Much in Pakistan
Three things decide what you’ll pay: the salon’s location, the products they use and the artist’s experience level. A facial with imported Janssen or Thalgo products naturally costs more than one with local herbal creams. Similarly, a senior stylist with ten years of experience charges more than a junior.
Don’t assume expensive always means better. Many mid-range salons in Faisalabad use the same professional product lines as premium Lahore salons but charge half the price. What matters is hygiene, product quality and the skill of the person doing your treatment — not the chandelier in the waiting area.
Facial Treatment Prices in 2026
Facials are the most requested salon service in Pakistan, and prices span a wide range. A basic cleansing facial starts around Rs. 500 to Rs. 1,500 at most neighbourhood salons. Face polish treatments, which exfoliate and brighten, typically cost Rs. 1,200 to Rs. 2,500.
Specialised facials cost more. Whitening and de-pigmentation facials run Rs. 2,000 to Rs. 3,500, while professional-grade treatments like Dermaclear sit around Rs. 4,500. Premium options like Janssen facials range from Rs. 6,500 to Rs. 9,500, and Hydra facials cost Rs. 8,500 to Rs. 10,500.
The key question to ask: which product line is being used, and is it suited to your skin type? A Rs. 2,000 facial with the right products for your skin beats a Rs. 8,000 facial with the wrong ones every time.

Hair Services: Cuts, Colour and Treatments
A basic haircut in Pakistan costs anywhere from Rs. 500 at a local salon to Rs. 5,000 at a premium one. The difference is usually the stylist’s training and the time spent on consultation and finishing. For most women, a Rs. 1,500 to Rs. 2,500 haircut at a reputable mid-range salon offers the best balance.
Hair colour is where prices climb fast. A single-tone dye typically costs Rs. 4,000 to Rs. 10,000 depending on hair length and product brand, while highlights range from Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 15,000. Treatments like keratin or protein therapy cost Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 16,000 based on hair length and thickness.
Always ask whether the quoted price includes a haircut, wash and blow-dry. Some salons advertise a low colour price and then add charges for every extra step. A transparent salon gives you the full price upfront.
Waxing and Threading Costs
Waxing remains the most affordable salon service. Eyebrow threading costs just Rs. 200 to Rs. 300, while upper lip threading is around Rs. 200. These small services are often done weekly and form the backbone of most salons’ daily business.
For larger areas, full arm waxing costs Rs. 1,500 to Rs. 2,000, and full leg waxing runs Rs. 1,500 to Rs. 2,500. Underarm waxing is typically Rs. 1,000. A full body wax package, popular before weddings, costs Rs. 8,000 to Rs. 10,000 at most mid-range salons.
Ask about the wax being used — imported chocolate or aloe waxes cost slightly more but are gentler on sensitive Pakistani skin, especially in summer. Good waxing services prioritise hygiene: no double-dipping of spatulas, ever.
Manicure and Pedicure Prices
A basic manicure and pedicure combo costs Rs. 2,500 to Rs. 4,500 at most salons. Premium versions using OPI or similar international brands run Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 7,000. Whitening mani-pedis, which include extra brightening treatments, sit in the middle at around Rs. 2,850 to Rs. 5,000.
Nail art is usually charged separately — Rs. 500 to Rs. 2,000 depending on complexity. Acrylic or gel extensions cost Rs. 3,000 to Rs. 8,000. If you get your nails done regularly, ask about package deals; many salons offer monthly mani-pedi packages at a discount.

Bridal Packages: What You Actually Get
Bridal is where salon pricing gets serious. Party makeup starts around Rs. 12,000 to Rs. 15,000 per function. Bridal makeup for baraat or walima ranges from Rs. 20,000 to Rs. 50,000 at mid-range salons, while signature or celebrity artists charge Rs. 30,000 to Rs. 80,000 or more.
Full bridal packages — covering makeup for multiple functions plus hair, draping and sometimes pre-bridal services — typically cost Rs. 35,000 to Rs. 85,000. The most important question isn’t the price, though. It’s which artist will actually do your makeup, so always confirm you’ll get the artist whose portfolio impressed you.
How to Get the Best Value for Your Money
Package deals are your best friend. Most salons offer bundled services — like waxing plus threading, or facial plus mani-pedi — at 15 to 25 percent less than buying separately. If you’re a regular, ask about loyalty discounts or monthly packages.
Time your visits wisely — many salons run weekday discounts when they’re less busy. For big treatments like keratin or bridal packages, always get the full price in writing before the service starts. A trustworthy salon is transparent about costs with no surprise add-ons at the bill.
Finally, remember that the cheapest option isn’t always the best value. A Rs. 800 facial with harsh products that damages your skin costs far more in the long run than a Rs. 3,000 professional facial treatment that actually improves it.
