Body massage- how much do you charge?

[kylieb]

Hi geeks I am now qualified in body massage
Just wondered how much you geeks charge for an hour?
Do you include the face?

I know most people look at local competition to see what they charge but to be honest I haven't done this with any of my prices. I just worked out what would be good for me and charged it and it has worked well.

I'm thinking £30 for the hour. I know I have only just qualified but I wont be doing clients until I have practised to the point where I am confident and good enough to provide a good service. Do you think this price is reasonable?
What do you all charge?

hi, congratulations on getting it, for full body massage i literally do from feet to scalp spend bout 65-70mins and charge €60:00, which would be the norm here people charge between €50 - €80, so your price sounds very cheap buyt maybe its good for where you are

Well done Kylie! I bet you're so pleased that you finally have your qualification.

I do a swedish full body (1hr) and a deluxe full body(1hr30). With the deluxe i include a face and scalp massage and a full half hour on the back as a lot of people find this is where they have the most tension.

Normally i do a little on the top of chest/ shoulders to relax them, front of arms, stomach, front of legs (turn over) back of legs, back.

I charge £20 for 30 mins, cheaper than most places by £5, £30 for an hour, £35 for the deluxe. I'm a bit cheap, but i'm happy with my prices and i get plenty of clients. I rent a room.

Thank you hun :hug: Yes I am sooo happy I needed it for work so now I can train in the wraps and aroma and hot stones. I cant wait!!!!!

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I like the sound of the deluxe massage and for the sake of an extra fiver I bet they all go for this one.
That's a really good idea to give them the choice of both!
I'm thinking of doing back,neck and shoulder too just on it's own.

[lenna]

yes definitely offer neck, back and shoulder by itself, as a lot of people tend to go for that massage over full body.

 

[Bronzewolf]

i do

full body (scalp no face) 1hour = £35
back massage (scalp) 30min = £20 (this by far is the most popular treatment)
deluxe back (scalp and face) 1 hour= £30
holistic facial massage (face, scalp, decollete) 45min = £20

 

[Exquisite Touch]

Well done for getting your qualification. :hug:

Looking at what others charge, it looks to me like you're on the right lines with pricing. Just check what others in your area are charging, so you can make sure you're not seriously under (or over) charging. You are trying to earn a living, after all!

I always check with the client whether they want their face and/or scalp massaging. Some people just don't like it.

 

[hippy-chick]

full body
