Pricing for gel nails

[*sarah*]

Hi guys,

Have just been reading the thread about what questions clients ask, and in one of the postings it said you should charge 15-20% more, I have just started doing calgel and I'm really unsure what to charge, I know all areas are different so not expecting anyone to tell me how much to charge lol but the problem I have is the salons that are offering gel are doing a NNO for £20-£25 and these are not NSS dont have any here, dont want to price myself out the market but dont see why I should offer them cheap either. I charge £30 for l & p for tips or sculpts and £25 for a NNO, £20 for a infill and £25 for a rebalance . Any suggestions ?
Thanks xx

I charge £32 for Gel whether it is a NNO or a sculptured Gel nail or tips. its £20 for a infill and £25 for a rebalance.
to be honest i dont get many for gel its mainly L & P
what annoys me most is when clients have been to a NSS and come in and say they are gel when they are obviously L & P.
for my l & P I charge £30 unless they want nail art or glitter or colour then its extra.
£18 for an infill and £23 for a rebalance (extra for glitter or colour)
hope that helps you sweet x

Well looks like its bad news for me called around the salons to find out who did calgel and what theywere charging for it £29,£25,£22,£20 this is for block colour or french shoud I charge in the middle (as us fifers are a tight bunch lol) or just charge what I think? I was thinking maybe £25 for block colour, £15 for a 2wk infill, £20 for a 3wk infill, £25 for infill-change of colour. For french £30 and £25 for rebalance??? any thoughts I'm stuck lol xx
