Pricing depends on different factors:

1. Cost of products & implements used (ie: table, e-file, cuticle pushers, gels, cleansers, etc etc................
2. Cost of training
3. Experience/Skill level
4. Rent of location OR maintenance of vehicle for mobile services
5. What types of clients you want to attract
6. What type of market is there in your area of business and/or competition
7. The hourly wage you wish to earn
8. Cost of advertising, business cards and other related expenses you wish to recoup

etc

I charge 35$/set, 25$ for a rebalance.
BUT that's in my neighborhood, working from home, in Canada.
Very different from the UK.

ps: keep in mind, no matter what you set your prices at, it takes TIME to build a client base and get 'returns'.
It's taken me 3yrs, working from home, to have a VERY nearly full book. (of course, at home, I have to advertise harder as I'm not in the public eye and Im competeing in a town rampant with NSS)
