The short version
- A man's cut runs 14 € to 28 €.
- A full head of highlights runs 80 € to 180 € depending on length.
- Colour price depends on the amount of product used.
- Salons in resort areas apply higher season rates.
The same service can cost twice as much 20 kilometres away. That is not arbitrary: it follows product, chair time and the cost of the premises.
What you are paying for
Three things: the time of the person working, the product consumed and the overheads of the salon. A colour on long hair can use twice the product of a mid length one, and a full head of highlights occupies 2 to 4 hours of chair time. Salons that price by length and by real time tend to quote more accurately than those applying a flat rate.
| Service | Palma | Inland |
|---|---|---|
| Man's cut | 18 to 28 € | 14 to 22 € |
| Woman's cut with wash and finish | 28 to 45 € | 20 to 35 € |

| Full colour, long hair | 60 to 90 € | 50 to 75 € |
| Partial highlights | 60 to 110 € | 50 to 90 € |
| Full head of highlights | 100 to 180 € | 80 to 140 € |
| Conditioning treatment | 20 to 45 € | 15 to 35 € |
| Occasion styling | 45 to 90 € | 35 to 70 € |
Why prices vary
Rent in central Palma or on the seafront multiplies fixed costs against an inland town. Season matters too: between June and September demand in resort areas rises sharply and many salons apply seasonal rates 15 to 30 per cent higher. And specific training in colour technique justifies higher prices on complex work, which is where the difference is actually visible.
Avoiding surprises at the till
Ask for a fixed price before starting, stating hair length. Ask whether the final styling is included or charged separately at 15 € to 30 €. Confirm whether a treatment proposed during the service carries an extra cost. And for large colour work, request a quotation at a short assessment visit, which is normally free and takes 10 minutes.
For a significant colour change, ask how many sessions are foreseen: lifting from a dark base can need 2 or 3 appointments weeks apart.
When paying more pays
On lifting and radical colour changes, where the gap between good and poor work is measured in months of damaged hair and 200 € to 400 € of recovery treatments. On a cut that sets the shape of hair worn for 3 months. And on colour techniques designed to grow out softly, which stretch the interval between visits from 5 to 10 weeks and cut the annual spend.
