Hair, Beauty and SPMU
OMG!!! I cannot sleep for worry over this situation and hope some one can help.
A client of mine (who is also an ex collegue/friend of my mothers) asked me to do her wedding hair in August. This was just before xmas and I was in the process of developing a wedding pricelist at the time so I said I would get back to her once this was done and that she could have the service at half price as she is a kind of friend of my mums and she said I could use a wedding picture for my portfolio.
I decided on £80 per hour for my normal call out price. As the wedding was a good 45 minute drive from me and I also needed to bring a friend to assist me (there are 6 in the wedding party and she wanted an early ceremony) I quoted her £48 per hour.
She replied a few days later asking if I could quote 'per person' and added that everyones hair would be washed and dried for when I got there.
This is really stressing me out because I have not arranged my prices this way.
Should I redo my prices altogether and have a 'set' bride price etc. I have set prices for the trials but find on the day I can end up waiting around for ages for people and at an hourly rate the guests tend to be a little more organised and i'm not there wasting time hanging around.
The client does travel from her home in London across to Bath to see me for appointments whenever she can, so she must value my work.
I now dont feel confident in my pricing.
Please help!!!:sad:
