Methodology
- Only prices a salon publishes itself (website, menu, booking page) or a dated public listing; every price has a source link and a check date on the salon's page.
- For each salon we take the middle of its price range per service; the city figure is the median across salons, so one expensive salon does not move it.
- Digital and setting perms are counted together: both use heated rods and a machine, and many salons list them under one name.
- Prices are before any discounts; tax, a cut or a long-hair surcharge are noted on the salon page where the menu says so.
- A city appears once at least 5 salons there publish a digital or setting perm price. The index is updated every quarter.
