Most Expensive Beauty Products Found in UAE, Switzerland, and Turkey, According to Currys Study
In a recent study by Currys, Switzerland was found to be the priciest destination for beauty treatments, with an average cost of £196.71, followed closely by Denmark (£147.62) and Hong Kong (£117.92). However, the study also revealed some surprising findings about the most affordable countries for beauty products relative to UK prices[1].
Singapore, Hong Kong, and Australia emerged as the countries offering the most affordable average local prices for popular skincare and makeup products. This analysis was based on a comparison across 29 countries, making these destinations the best choices for beauty shopping while travelling[1].
Germany was found to offer beauty products at 9% less than UK prices due to strong local production and retail competition. Unfortunately, the report did not provide information about the cost of beauty treatments in Germany.
Moving beyond Europe, Mexico, South Korea, and Canada were found to offer beauty products at 24% less than UK prices. However, the report did not provide information about the cost of beauty treatments in these countries.
The UK ranked 7th globally for value in beauty treatments, with an average total cost of £103.76. This suggests that UK beauty professionals operate in a competitive global market, offering strong value for both products and treatments.
Interestingly, India has the lowest cost for beauty treatments compared to the UK, with an average cost of £17.02, followed by the Philippines (£17.51) and Brazil (£19.02).
The study did not provide information about the cost of beauty treatments in the UAE, but it did highlight the UAE as showing the highest search volume for "beauty salon near me," indicating strong consumer interest in beauty services.
In conclusion, while some countries may be more expensive for beauty treatments, there are many affordable destinations for beauty shopping and services. The study by Currys provides valuable insights for those looking to save on beauty expenses while travelling.
Their lifestyle choices might lead them to travel to Singapore, Hong Kong, or Australia, as those countries offer the most affordable average local prices for skincare and makeup products. Alternatively, for those seeking cost-effective beauty treatments, India has the lowest cost compared to the UK, with an average treatment cost of £17.02.
