Am I too expensive?

[babychops]

Don't worry it's my thread lol x

 

[babychops]

I think thats slightly too expensive, not in general as extensions are not cheap. But to be making £100 profit straight away after just doing a few models, in my opinion, is a bit much. X

I have 20% off atm aswell to make it abit cheaper x

Do you think it would be better if I did a price without an aftercare pack aswell as with an aftercare pack? X

If your client paid for her extensions without an aftercare pack and used Vosene without any conditioner, would you refund her after 1 week when they matted up?

If the answer is no then I guess you could say that the Aftercare pack is an essential part of the service, and to price without it would be fruitless.

Have you thought about getting a job in a salon, maybe even part-time?

I'm not sure what your situation is, and forgive me for just coming out and asking it, but I have noticed most of your pictures (even with your own hair) are pictured in your house, so I am assuming you might have some issues with anxiety or something? Are you OK travelling to other people's houses on your own to do extensions, working in a salon for an 8 hour day or do you need people to come to you? Each of the above require a different form of marketing. Which are you OK to do?

No I only have one person that I do in my house (a friend) I go to clients houses all the time I love it. I did have a little anxiety but that's almost gone now. I have worked in a few salons before and decided to go mobile. I don't have a problem going into people's homes. I love seeing their houses and their pets! Haha x

There does seem to be sometimes an over reliance on facebook by a lot who are starting up. Facebook is a great tool and we do use it quite a lot ourselves, but particularly for extension clients it doesn't ALWAYS attract the type who are going to be a returning long term client.

If you think where most of us search for anything (not just hair or beauty services) then I think it is essential to have an Internet presence aside from facebook.

If funds allow, then a well designed and optimised website is a great tool, almost a must if you want to build the business.

I don't do extensions but I am a stylist and personally I wouldn't get extensions/ beauty treatments or hairdresser from someone off Facebook, id like to see a very informative website and I'd compare a few locally.

Think who you want your clients to be??
And go and find them,

Get professional flyers made up and be picky where you distribute them.

Offer to do a few make up counter girls in frasers for example at a little more than cost. How many women do they see everyday that are interested in their appearance loads, give them some recommend a friend (or stranger) vouchers

Good luck

I done one recently on wix I was very stressed about it but soon got to grips with it, my domain cost £7 and website is £8 pm but I think you get a free domain with it but I had already bought it
So sort website then domain

I'm now very happy with it,

Hi Babychops

I have read this thread and was wondering how is it going now? Have you managed to get more people? x

 

[babychops]

Hi, no I haven't gained any new hair extension clients. I am very busy with my hairdressing so I'm not really worried about it now. I have got the qualification so if anybody wants extensions I can do them x

You could always offer a service in with it at a cheaper rate than seperate? For example for a full head, you can get eyebrows done half price. The lady who does my nails offers eyebrow wax an tint in with a full set to work out cheaper seems to work well for her
