If you're weighing up whether those prices make sense for your hair goals, here's a full breakdown.
How Rapunzel Rapunzel's Prices Compare to Brisbane Salons
The table below draws on Rapunzel Rapunzel's own listed prices alongside Brisbane-wide data from Zenflo's price guides, which aggregate hundreds of real salon listings.
| Service | Rapunzel Rapunzel (typical) | Brisbane Median | Typical Range | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hair Colour | $200 | $135 | $90-$200 | +48% |
| Foils & Highlights | $310 | $230 | $157-$325 | +35% |
| Balayage | $355 | $350 | $255-$455 | +1% |
| Blow-Dry | $50 | $70 | $52-$95 | −29% |
| Hair Extensions | $850 | $378 | $210-$670 | +125% |
A few things worth noting here:
- Balayage is priced right at market rate. At $355 for a balayage (or $435 with a trim), Rapunzel Rapunzel sits almost exactly on the Brisbane median - reasonable for a salon that specialises in this technique.
- Blow-dries are a genuine bargain. A wash and blow-dry promo starts at $50, which is nearly 30% cheaper than the average Brisbane salon. Their standard wash and blow-dry is $80, still within the typical range.
- Foils and highlights carry a premium. At a typical $310 versus the Brisbane median of $230, you're paying for specialist skill - the salon's team focuses specifically on blonde and balayage work.
- Hair extensions sit well above median. Beaded weft extensions, particularly at 100g or 150g, reflect the material cost and technical labour involved. Their extensions maintenance service starts at $140, which is more accessible.
What's Usually Included in a Hair Colour Service
"Hair colour" covers a wider range of treatments than most people realise. At most salons - and Rapunzel Rapunzel is no different - the menu distinguishes between:
- Global/full-head colour - colour applied root to tip, often used for grey coverage or a uniform shade change
- Regrowth or root touch-up - colour applied to new growth only, typically every 6-10 weeks
- Colour with a trim - some menu items bundle a cut with the colour appointment
- Toner or gloss - sometimes included, sometimes charged separately, used to refine the finished shade
Rapunzel Rapunzel's listed colour options include global colour (short and medium lengths), global colour promos, and combo services with a trim. If you also want a structural treatment, they offer add-ons like a Structure Plex Bond Builder No.1 & No.2 for $55 or an Express Moisture Treatment for $15, which can be useful if your hair has been through repeated colour.
What Makes the Price Go Up (or Down)
Hair colour pricing isn't arbitrary. Several practical factors move the cost in one direction or the other.
How Long Does a Hair Colour Appointment Take?
A straightforward hair colour appointment - say, a global colour on short to medium hair - generally takes 1.5 to 2 hours from consultation to finish. Factor in processing time, a rinse, and a blow-dry (if included) and you're usually looking at that window.
More complex appointments - colour with foils, a balayage, or anything involving correction - can extend to 2.5 to 3 hours or beyond. If you're booking foils or balayage at Rapunzel Rapunzel, it's worth allowing a solid half-day, particularly for longer hair.
