how much is a perm in australia

Short answer: expect around AUD $120–$250 for short hair, $180–$350 for medium, and $250–$500+ for long or thick hair, depending on the salon and city. Fancy options like digital/body-wave perms usually land between $250–$600, and a cut/finish can add $40–$120. Men’s or top perms often sit around $80–$200. Big-city salons charge more than regional spots—shock, horror. Used pricing? Not a thing—curls don’t come pre-owned. Always get a quote after a consult because hair length, condition, and ambition change the bill faster than a sea breeze.
