how much to charge?

[tinbum25]

Hi there can some one give me an idea of how much to charge for my services? I am doing Acrylic overlays with tips and natural nail overlays as well as re balances etc, and also basic, french and re hydrating manicures etc. I'm the only one in Orkney doing it so I'm not very sure, I also have to take into account there is some travelling involved also. Hope you are all well

If you look at peoples posts on here a lot of them have a link to their website,
if you go onto them you will get lots of examples of prices that we all charge hth

Hun you have to approach this like a business person if you are going to run a business.

Add up your COSTS .. all of them
Work out how much you have to make an hour to cover them and then work out your prices.

All good advice . .. I would also have a ring round your local salons/mobiles to get a feel for the prices in your area as it does vary tremendously, there are geeks on here charging £60 plus for a new set while others in different areas struggle to get £25. It's important to know what your competitors are offering for how much then you can pitch yourself low, middle or high end, depending on where you see yourself.

LMAO - I've re-read the first post and seen the address now lol :o
Sorry tinbum a lot of my comments won't apply. But being the only one doing it will give you a monopoly on it, you'll soon build up a fab reputation! Good luck x

lol indeed guys, I don't think i'll have a huge phone bill phoning round other places as far as I'm aware there is only one other place that does Gel nail extensions but I've heard there a bit ropey, No offence to anyone intended but the person who did them went on one of those 2 day courses, I do indeed seem to have the monopoly so lets hope it works.
