How much should I be harging
Hi there,
I am a lash tech from a small town in Australia looking to open my business. I've been in the industry for a few years now and the salon I was working for has closed for their own reasons.
I am wanting some advice on how much I should be charging for infills, fullsets, etc. The salon I was working for was charging $110 for a volume fullset whether that was hybrid, light or mega, and $55 for 2 week infills, $65 for 3 week fills, $90 for classics and $45 2 week fill and $55 for 3 week fill. The salon increased the prices from the ones I mentioned by $15 but just for the owner's work and not mine although I believe my work is worth more than what was being charged.
I am worried about charging too high and people not booking with me but worried about not charging enough and not making any money either and the business will fail.
Currently I will be offering classic, light volume, full volume, mega, hybrid, wet set, wispy, coloured and hopefully tinsel/glitter lashes. I will also offer lash lift, brow lamination, waxing, and tinting.
I hope to offer handmade volume sets later on once I have worked more on my own skills for these. I also plan on training in nails as well to provide those services too
Any advice on opening a business and pricing would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
