Well I'm making progress to the point where I have a party booked - WOO! A great friend of mine who helped me turn my spare room into a treatment room in my last house now lives not too far away from again and has offered to host a party to get me started...
Only problem is - I worked out all my prices eons ago and miles away, now I don't know where to start everything down here is soooo expensive.
I'll be doing Mani/Pedi, Shellac/Rockstar, acrylic overlays/tips and Nouvatan spray tan so I have to figure these out pretty quickly. (I wont be doing any eye treatments as no one's had a skin test or waxing as everyone so far has expressed interest in tan...)
First port of call was Google :o to look at other people's prices but they're all salons in Barnstaple, I'm mobile from a little village in the middle of nowhere... Prices I found:
Full body spray tan £20, £30, £25, £45
Basic Manicure/Pedicure £18.50 £26.50 £25 £22
Luxury Manicure/Pedicure £33.50 £25.50 £35 £30
Shellac £25 £25
Rockstar £25
Acrylics £35.50 £35 £46 £50
See why I'm struggling? (though Shellac seems stable and I think CND recommends how much more this should be than your manicure/pedicure service so that might be ok...). While I'm confident in my application/treatment of everything (except acrylics - I've had very little practice since my training, the girls are helping me portfolio build with these) I shudder at the thought of charging some of these prices but similarly I don't want to be selling myself short in a market that can cope... Does this make sense?! Help??
