Why Hourly Pricing Just Makes Sense (for You and for Us)

Let’s talk money. We know—pricing can feel confusing, intimidating, or even like a weird salon secret. That’s exactly why, at Hush Salon and Spa, we do things differently.

Our services are priced hourly. No add-ons. No surprise charges. No more wondering why a haircut costs more for one person than another. Just clear, honest pricing that respects your time and ours.

We’re here to break it down—what hourly pricing is, why we use it, and why our clients love it just as much as we do.

What Is Hourly Pricing, Exactly?

You’ll see clear pricing for your chosen service. No charging extra for toners or blow-dries—it’s all included. The time you book can be used for whatever you want to try, whether that’s a regular highlight or a fully custom blonde.

✨ Want a big transformation? We’ll plan the time accordingly.

✨Need a quick dusting with no wash? That takes less time—and costs less, too.

It’s simple, flexible, and tailored to you.

Why We Made the Shift

Traditional pricing in salons often:

  • Punishes people with long, dense, or textured hair
  • Encourages rushed or impersonal services
  • Makes stylists feel like they need to upsell
  • Creates awkward conversations at the till

That’s not how we want to work. At Hush, we believe in care over confusion, and customization over cookie-cutter services. Switching to hourly pricing allows us to focus 100% on what you need—not on trying to fit your hair into a pre-made box.

How Hourly Pricing Helps You

Let’s be honest: pricing in salons hasn’t always been equitable. Hourly pricing changes that by offering:

Transparency – You’ll always know what you’re paying—and why. No mystery charges. No hidden fees for a toner or a scalp massage.

Fairness – You’re paying for the actual time and care that goes into your appointment, not a rigid service category.

Flexibility – Want a custom blend of services? You’ve got it. We can cut, tone, gloss, treat, or blow-dry all in one appointment—without tallying up separate costs.

Ease – No need to guess what to book. We can guide you based on your goals and how much time that’ll realistically take.

How It Supports Our Stylists

This model also allows our team to:

  • Focus on education and deeper consultation
  • Avoid burnout from double-booking or overworking
  • Slow down and do their best, most thoughtful work
  • Build genuine relationships with clients, not just “fit them in”
  • Take proper breaks and protect their physical health

The result? Better hair, happier stylists, and a space that feels calm, not chaotic.

Real Talk: Isn’t Hourly More Expensive?

Not necessarily. Hourly pricing might sound like a bigger investment upfront, but it often balances out—or even saves money—over time.

Instead of frequent touch-ups or unnecessary add-ons, we prioritize healthy, long-lasting results. That means fewer visits, longer-lasting colour or cuts, and more intentional care.

And best of all? You’re never overpaying just because your hair doesn’t match a “standard” description.

Who This Works Best For

Hourly pricing works beautifully for:

  • Guests who want customized services
  • Clients who value transparency and trust
  • People who’ve been made to feel “difficult” in other spaces
  • Anyone who’s had surprise bills at salons

In short—it works for real people with real hair, not just hair that fits a system.

We’re In This Together

Our goal isn’t to rush you through or upsell you on every product. It’s to create a space that honors your time, your budget, and your hair. Hourly pricing is just one of the many ways we put our values into action.

We want you to feel confident before, during, and after your appointment. When you understand what you're paying for—and trust the process—your whole experience becomes more empowering.

So whether you’re planning a full hair refresh or just need a trim and a chat, we’ve got time for you. Literally.
