Relaxer prices in the US

Across 44 US salon menus we've collected, relaxer runs $90–$140 at most places, with a median of $115. The full spread is $11 to $225 — the low end is usually a junior stylist or a partial service, the high end a senior provider in a high-cost metro.

Across the 2 cities where we hold menus from more than one salon, New York, NY has the lowest median at $125 and Brooklyn, NY the highest at $140. These are small samples — 3 and 2 salons respectively — so treat them as a sighting shot, not a market average. The table above has the rest.

They're list prices from providers' own published menus, not quotes. Expect the final figure to move with length, density, add-ons and who's in the chair, and expect tip on top. Booking direct with a provider is the only way to get a firm number — the book links on this page go straight to their own scheduling.
