ok so as the title states are you really charging enough for your treatments to not only cover your costs but to actually make a living from it too!
You have to run your treatments as a business. Each business that operates should know how much it costs just to open the doors and turn the lights on each day. Whether you own a salon, work from home or you are mobile you need to make sure that you are covering all costs.
I get messages and see too many people that just seem to pick a price out of the air or just charge the same as a competitor. This is not enough and doesnt give you enough understanding of your business.
so to work out your prices you need to take into account exactly what you use during each treatment and how long they take you, then you work out how many treatments you get from each bottle or pot. You also need to take into account insurance/electric, how much you would like to pay yourself as an hourly rate, consumables, rent, petrol etc. If you sat down and worked that out for each treatment i think you would be surprised as all the little things soon add up!! This quite often is the reason that businesses fail, one because they are not making money as they have little understanding of their finances and two that they have cashflow problems. You need to put a percentage back into the business so that you have money for more products.
Do not be frightened to charge what you are worth, we are here after all to earn money and make a decent living that we have trained long and hard and more often than not expensively for!!
I hope this helps some of you xx
