p.s. dont now why it is all different fonts/colours

 

[nemotail]

Why are your prices so cheap Claire?

 

[clairelee69]

as i dont do them that often. havent got any cleients at the moment so i need to start of quite low to attract clients. im doing a party next week so that should start me off

 

[nemotail]

I still think you are undercharging I am SVQ Beauty Therapy level 2 qualified and charge a lot more than you. People will be suspicious as to why your prices are so cheap and the clients you attract will take off when you hike your prices up. Why not charge a decent price and do an opening offer of 20% off all treatments or something along that lines.
HTH

 

[clairelee69]

what so you all charge and whst do you think that i am undercharging on

 

[nemotail]

Just a couple of examples
Eyelash tint £7
Eyebrow shape £5
Underarm Wax £5
I also find your offers a bit confusing why not offer a wax pack of 1/2 leg, bikini, underarm and eyebrows with a few £ off - Most of my clients have this done regular - all waxed in one go and saves a bit of money too

 

[clairelee69]

i havent fininshed that section yet hun.well where i live in the top salons they dont charge that much

 

[nemotail]

Fair enough, just offering help

 

[cantrelax]

what so you all charge and whst do you think that i am undercharging on

Hi Claire, I am also a beauty therapist, just started nails so not too sure about the pricing of those. But as for waxing, facials, eye treatments, this is way too low.

 

[ADiva1]

Your charges are way too cheap. Your'e just creating a false economy. Rather than thinking you'll attract customers with those prices, they will think that you cannot do the treatments. They look to me like prices I'd pay if I went down to my local college.

Think you have 2 of these threads running as well....

 

[cantrelax]

i havent fininshed that section yet hun.well where i live in the top salons they dont charge that much

Ok, now it makes sense. xxx

 

[crazysaz]

i take it my pricelist was ok then considering you've practically used the whole thing! lol
maybe i should do this for a living!

 

[clairelee69]

i know hun and i appreciate your help

 

[clairelee69]

oh yeah. do you mind. if you do i will reword it all

 

[crazysaz]

dont be silly! glad it sounds alrite! its scary doing your pricelist for the 1st time. i checked out more comp the other day and mine is actually pretty good if i do say so myself! you should put your prices yp maybe. because youve written exactly what the diff is between say a creative spa and a basic then they can see exactly wot they're paying for. another tip, use what the company say about their product, it'll be on the advertising or on the box, thats where i got most of my stuff at. also, my spa is ez flow, the creative will be diff and prob more suitable. if you can, do your pricelist yourself. ive spent bout a wk on this, im rubbish at computers as ive never had any traiining but ive finally got there and it looks quite good! 2 reasons 1) its a lot lot cheaper and 2) you can tweek it as you change/introduce new items etc
hth!!

THis is what i would do, what do you think....crap!...lol

 

[salonone]

Prices are way too low. I did the coversion into Canadian dollars and I don't even think that your costs for product is being covered, let alone making money for yourself. My collogen facial is $75 CND which is aprox. 38 in UK pounds! So don't cheat yourself out of making money.

I have found that pricing low is a mistake often made with new business owners or those going out on their own. I think a better idea is to make your prices the same as your competitors and offer a discount to first time clients, say perhaps 35% off. That way you will make some money and the clients get a deal and see the quality of your work. Try not to offer too many incentives at first, encourage repeat clients with bonuses for referrals.

This approach has worked very well for me.

I am a Certified Esthetician and Nail Technician. I started out in my home, went mobile, and now rent space (lots of it) in a local hair salon.

 

[Katmoz33]

i havent fininshed that section yet hun.well where i live in the top salons they dont charge that much

clairelee i only live 5 mins away from you and salons in our area charge alot more than you are saying for example where i go for my facials they cost between £35 and £48 so yours are way too cheap!
i am only 5 mins away from you and my prices are quite abit more than yours i have a home salon and work mobile.

[Cuttie_Pie]

very good! like how you hav described the mani's and pedi's.... Not sure you need to write so much on some of the other things like french manicure because it takes longer £1. Maybe you should try just putting please add an extra £1 for a french polish. if that makes sense sorry im warbling....
Still quite cheap tho you are fully trained at level 2 now dont knock yourself
