I decided to do it as a flat rate of £20 no matter how it's used, this may change if the standalone becomes more popular but my first bottle I didn't do one standalone out of so I made a good profit, so have left it at that for now. I do the same with colour too, some clients take a 1/4 of a tube of colour others can take 2 tubes but I keep the price fixed across the board, what I loose on the 2 tube colour I make up for on the 1/4 tube client, I used that basis for my olaplex pricing too.Hi surf girl.....can I ask, is the £20.00 for 'stand alone', or add to colour, or both?
How 'easy' do you find getting the client to part with their money?
I charge £10.00 if added to colour, £20.00 as a stand alone.
I arrived at this pricing due to the extra amount of product and time needed for 'stand alone'.
I've found selling it as hard as pulling teeth...........
I FULLY BELIEVE in the product, but God, how tight is our public!!!!!!
and then spend the rest of the appointment banging on about it and how great it is, the seed is then planted.... Every time I leave a client to mix their colour I come back and ask oh did you want olaplex today? I do it on purpose, 1 to confirm if it's a yes before I do put it in and 2 because it gives the client who didn't have it last time an opportunity to have it this time (because I know they been thinking about it since I planted that seed ) they usually say oh what's that? (We both know full well I've already told them several times but hey ho for £20 extra I'll stand there and give the verse off one more time... Olaplex is a bond builder...blah blah...

Getting the client to part with their money can be hard work lol, I'm only a small salon in a low income area nothing spesh like so I have to really sell it to them, you've got the ones who have it because Mrs Jones did, so I bang on about oh Mrs Jones hair was so much better (you get my drift lol) then there's the big ticket clients who have it because they have too much money & they've seen it in the news, I name drop big celeb hairstylists that use it (they practically beg for it) then there's the average joe... Average joe is a tough cookie... I pick out the problem in their hair and chat about it much like you would to retail any product, they say oh I'll leave it this time, I say ok
I will just find that one leading word from my client and as soon as I hear it I'll bring up olaplex, could be anything that relates to hair lol I'm pretty sick of spieling off the same conversation tbh but the tough clients are coming round slowly
Just get the smaller kit, charge right and you'll make enoigh to get the big kit eventually, at least then you haven't spent out too Much
