[QUOTE="Sassy Hassy, post: 607806, member: 2504"] Hi Laura and here's my two penneth! I have to say I agree whole heartedly with Blossom, people always think that being mobile means you should be the cheapest. However when I was mobile I worked out that the time I spent travelling between clients, and getting set up and packed up I could do two more clients a day if I was working in a salon ... that meant that my takings were down by a minimum of £40 a day!!!! Yup that's quite a lot isn't it, and I realised I had to put my prices up by at least a fiver!!! So your infill prices at £15 go like this - time taken and travelling time at least 90 minutes, which means that you are taking gross £10 an hour. Knock off a few quid for your products and a few quid for petrol and running costs of your car (depreciation, petrol, servicing, road tax, insurance) and hey you're making the grand sum of about a fiver an hour. Now who in their right mind wants all the aggro of self employment and paying themselves LESS than the minimum wage. And of course I haven't factored in costs like advertising, uniform, stationery, more training and so on. I have been in this industry for 7 years now and I have noticed that prices have gone down and downsince I started, and it's mainly because people really don't do the maths behind their pricing and have driven the market to levels that just aren't commercially sustainable anymore. I hope you don't think I am picking on you because it is the very last thing I would do, just trying to make you (and many many MANY others) take on some business acumen that being self employed needs to go behind the skill of doing beautiful nails. Good luck and please charge what you are worth! :hug: [/QUOTE]
