Permanent makeup pricing across US metros

By Damien Porter · May 20, 2026

Permanent makeup pricing across US metros

Permanent makeup pricing is shaped by local cost of living, artist experience, and studio overhead. Using the PMUBook directory, we compared typical ranges for the most common treatments across major US metros.

Across the board, brow treatments cluster in a predictable band, with lip blush and combination work trending higher. Individual artists vary, so the figures are a guide rather than a quote.

Each city and treatment page on PMUBook publishes the typical local range alongside the artists offering it, so clients can set expectations before they reach out.
