I just wondered what everyone's opinions were on charging friends for treatments? I have a friend that I have always used to practice on when I first started doing nails. I have always rebalanced and decorated them for free as I always thought that it was benefitting me so I didn't mind. But I don't so much need the 'practice' anymore unless I am trying out new products/ideas etc and I just wondered should I be charging her? It bothers me a bit because I always fit her in on my evenings off, so not to conflict with paying clients but I am starting to get exhausted now and the thought of having to do a set of nails, waxing and eyebrow shape for free on my evening off is starting to take its toll! I don't want to end up resenting her, but should she be giving me at least something as a gesture or to cover my products? The fact that I have been doing this for free for so long now makes it even harder to ask for any money, and I don't like taking money off my friends. I feel really bad when my mum gives me money as she always insists on giving me something to cover my products, but I never ask for money from her, quite often she just pays it straight into my account without me even knowing!
I just wondered what everyone elses views on this was?
Thanks!
