What moves the price
- Type of treatment — a chemical peel or microdermabrasion costs more than a simple facial or waxing appointment.
- Experience of the aesthetician — an aesthetician trained in peels and advanced skin treatments usually charges more per session.
- Salon or mobile — an aesthetician who comes to your home charges for the journey as well as the treatment.
- Products used — facials using professional skincare brands cost more than ones using the salon's own basic range.
- Condition of your skin — congested or uneven skin may need extra steps, such as extractions, that lengthen the facial.
- Duration of the session — a longer facial or combined skin treatments take more of the aesthetician's time.

How to pay less
- Booking a course of facials or peels together can cost less per session than paying for each separately; you can ask the aesthetician.
- Waxing several areas in the same appointment usually costs less than booking each area with the aesthetician on separate days.
- An express facial costs less than a full one, so you can ask whether the shorter treatment suits your skin.
- Weekday daytime appointments can be cheaper at some salons, so it helps to ask the aesthetician about off-peak rates.
- Following the aesthetician's aftercare advice helps a facial or peel last longer, which can stretch the time between paid treatments.
