Prices to charge

[Sassy32]

After reading another thread where someone said about not putting your prices too cheap i just wanted to pick peoples brains.... I'm advertising full sets from £16. I've had no-one call and i'm wondering if people think because its cheap i won't be any good? I'm struggling to get people to practice on and don't want to charge full price til i'm totally confident. Anyone in Newcastle/Gateshead want to be a guinea pig for me!!!

Its true it is a vicous circle, you want to improve but the only way to improve is to practice but to practice you need clients, clients will think your no good if your too cheap etc etc. Have you tried advertising for 'models required' ? i don't know maybe that will have better effect. School prom season is just about to start, why dont you target them to practice on for a bargain price? You may find yourself some regular clients amongst them after their prom too ! Good luck :hug:

Thanks, never thought about advertising for models! I'm going to see someone 2m about renting a room in a salon so need to get practising asap!!

Hi i agree with the models wanted it worked for me when i first started. Good Luck..

So do you reckon I should still charge for models, even if its just to cover costs? Would £10 a set be ok?

Hi Sassy

When I am looking for handmodels I charge £10 and it works

in reference to prices, as a trainee at college (nearly finished VTCT course) my friend asked me how much i would charge for a soak off (on her remaining nails) then cut back and overlay with fibreglass?? i would have to travel to her house to do this and work around her whilst shes got two kids there?? any advise would be great
Thanks xx
