Sugaring & waxing

Sugaring and waxing in Australia: prices, rules and how to book

Updated 4 November 2026

Waxing a full face in Australia usually costs about A$55 to A$75, and a full arm about A$55 to A$80. In the price lists here, sugaring costs more than waxing for the same area, and a full leg sugared is about A$100. For a price for your area and treatment, describe what you need on BlaBlaPrice.

What changes the price

• Area: a lip or chin costs about A$10 to A$14 in these lists, while a full face or full legs cost much more.
• Method: sugaring and waxing are priced separately, so ask which one the price covers.
• Membership: some salons publish club prices for regular clients, so ask whether a club rate applies.
• Salon: prices differ from one studio to the next, even within the same city.

Rules for beauty therapists

There is no Australia-wide rule that every person offering waxing, brows or facials must hold a Certificate III or Certificate IV. Some councils and states do license businesses, though. In Brisbane, a personal appearance services licence costs A$1,105.95 for a new business and A$592.60 to renew, so ask a salon to show its registration before you book.

Season and timing

Summer runs from December to February, when more people wear shorts and swimwear, so many clients book in late spring. November is a sensible time to set up a regular appointment. Winter, June to August, is cooler, and a regular appointment every few weeks is easier to keep to.

Home visit or salon

Waxing and sugaring can be done at a salon or studio, and some providers offer home visits. Ask whether the quoted price includes travel, whether a home visit costs extra, and whether a patch test is needed before a first appointment.

What to write in your request

Name the method you prefer, waxing or sugaring, and the areas you want done. Say whether it is a one-off or regular treatment, whether you have sensitive skin, and whether you have any hair or skin condition the therapist should know about. Add the date and time, your suburb, whether you want a salon or home visit, and your budget.

On BlaBlaPrice you describe the treatment in your own words in a chat, and you can add a photo. The AI asks for missing details and looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Australia, then shows the prices and providers it found. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice receive your request and reply in the chat with their own price and terms. Your contact details stay hidden.
