We'll agree to disagree. I don't know many/if any people who's salary goes up by £3/4 an hour every year
If you can do nails in a hour and are super quick and are happy with your profit, thats great, and i mean that genuinely xx Tell me your secrets to speed haha
But I guess i am both thinking in euros , and taking into account you haven't raised your prices in 4 years, i am also taking into account that it normally takes on average 1 hour 30 to 2 hours for nail extensions (general assumption here) , so in my mind it was a 50c per year per hour pay rise which doesn't seem like much. Of course as you've said everywhere is different And not all markets are able to take a pay rise, something to think of for the future maybe
On a side note to everyone reading, i think we should also consider that our clients shouldn't just come to us based on the price of our service. IF you offer a fantastic service that is attentive to the needs of the clients i often think price becomes irrelevant, its more about the VALUE you offer that client. I would rather pay more for my clothes for example to go into a shop where i could get good honest advice , and good quality clothes than face a cheaper clothes shop where everything is messy and there is no help and the clothes don't last
I also think the clients that we attract are a reflection of ourself, we unconsciously project our own thoughts about what is "too expensive" for a client because we deem it too expensive for ourselves, I often see this with retail sales, you convince yourself the client couldn't possible afford a hand cream at £15-20 because they only get their nails done once in a blue moon which must mean they can't afford it…. Maybe that client would love a hand cream as a treat to herself, you can't close her purse strings for her
