What waxing really costs in LA

No “call for pricing.” These numbers come straight from 81 Los Angeles studios’ own published menus — one comparable price per studio, per treatment — so you know roughly what’s fair before you book.

Price by treatment

Each bar runs from the lowest to the highest published price. The shaded band is the middle half of studios (25th to 75th percentile); the dark line is the median. We only show treatments where at least five studios publish a comparable price.

Brazilian: waxing vs sugaring

waxing$69median of 49 studios (36 brands) · range $40–$95
sugaring$69median of 11 studios (6 brands) · range $60–$90

In our listings, the two cost the same at the median. Far fewer studios publish a sugaring price, and branches of the same brand often share one menu, so treat the sugaring figure as a rough guide. Curious about the difference? Read sugaring vs waxing.

Brazilian wax by neighborhood

Median published Brazilian wax price in each area where at least three studios publish one, lowest first. Small samples move a lot — one new studio can shift a median.

Why laser isn’t ranked

123 locations in our directory offer laser hair removal, and 43 publish at least one laser price. We don’t put those prices in the index because they aren’t like-for-like: laser is priced per body area, per session or as a package of sessions, often with intro or membership pricing, and the number of sessions you need varies from person to person. A “from” price for one small area tells you little about a full course. Each studio’s profile shows its laser prices with their area and session wording intact. Read what affects laser prices or browse laser providers.
