Pricing help for new CND user?

[mrsbrooks34]

Hi all,

I know we are not allowed to talk about pricing and I understand why....it's just that I have a few related questions and wonder if you could can me?

I will complete my CND Foundation L&P course in a few weeks and am currently trying to sort my price list out. A few days ago, I read one of Gigi's articles where she mentions that although you finish and pass a course you're not to salon standards. Here lays my first query.

1. When are you ready? I have been a qualified BT for nearly 2 years and have my own little emporium. I feel confident in my job and have a small but loyal client base who seem eager to let me loose on their nails which is great.

2. Should I charge full price straight away or a reduced price? If a reduced price, how long should I keep it lower for...?

I will be contacting my Creative tutor for her advice but wondered what you ladies thought?

Sorry to waffle, and thanks for taking time to read this thread:hug:

Only you will know when you are ready, they need to look nice and make the client happy and they need to last 2 weeks at least so your clients return for re balances.
2. Should I charge full price straight away or a reduced price? If a reduced price, how long should I keep it lower for...?
If your nail skills need improvement then charge a lower price but set out your price list with the full price so that your clients can see what they will be paying when you have built on your confidence, skills and speed, this way it does not come as a surprise to them and you don't lose clients.[/COLOR]

It's fine to discuss your salon prices etc, just not the prices that we pay when we're ordering from our suppliers
