I am currently qualified in spray tanning and I am training at college in facials, mani, pedi, waxing, eyelashes & tinting. I then want to do the Shellac course. My plan is to set up a mobile beauty business once I am qualified in all treatments.
There is another mobile therapist in my area who is charging low prices for her treatments and I have no idea how I can compete with this. For example...She charges £8 for a St Tropez spray tan (the same as I am trained in), £10 for a shellac manicure, £5 for a mani, £15 luxury facial and £15 express lashes.
I feel disheartened now I had looked at costs and once qualified and experienced I would need to charge more than that to make the costs, travel & business worthwhile. Any ideas on what to do? Will I have lower my prices to compete?
