How much to charge when practising CND pedi and Shellac?

[claireyfairy]

How much do you think is an exceptable amount to ask for treatments when practising on friends. I am mainly doing cnd spa pedicures and shellac at mo. Don't want to charge properly yet cos still feel im building my confidence at mo and my polishing is not perfect
Yet but I am using expensive products so feel I need to charge something to put back into my products kitty! What do u think? Thanks everyone x

Its so hard isn't it. I need to charge a bit so I can buy more colours etc I sometimes feel like im in a vicious circle trying to get started up! Lol x

if you have been trained and are qualified i would work out what price you want to be charging when you are confident and then discount that by 25 or 50% for say a month or 2 months, by that time you should be feeling more confident and have plenty of clients!!

Yes think mayb half price for now is the way to go as im only doing it on friends and family and trying to build up my colour collection so anything I earn can go towards that. Thank you just wanted advice cos I almost feel bad charging people I know. think I will need to toughen up! Lol x
