This happens to me all the time but I just tell them that I don't give out prices over the phone and that they need to come in for a consultation as that is the only way they will know what treatment is best for them (I do aesthetics not nails though). If they don't book in they aren't clients and you tend to know anyway if they are competition as they know too much information!
Most of the time I am brutallly honest and say if you want to know what I'm charging so you can work your prices around me why not ask my experience also as that is what you are paying for with me. Some get a bit muffled by it but I don't think it's right for a newly trained nurse or doctor to set their prices based on mine when you see how much more experience I have. Sounds a bit up my self but I don't mean it to come out like that!!!
They do really just waste your time and I personally don't have time for that. The girls I employed used to have loads of therapists booking in for treatment to see how we did things, to be honest, we found that quite nice as they wanted to learn from us and some even changed their products to match ours!
