Hi.
There may be a possibility of a semi-permanent make-up artist renting a room off me one/two day(s) a month but I have no idea what to charge as I do general beauty, nothing specialised like these people.
Can anyone give me any advice on how they operate when they travel to different rooms within different districts please?
Jes :rolleyes:
 
Hi, I normally pay my salons £50 a treatment rather than a rate for the whole day. Some of my salons take a percentage.
The percentage I agree on depends on how good they are at promoting me and getting people booked in.

For people that use my salon for various treatments, I ask them how much they want per treatment and then i add on what I want. Works for me :biggrin:
 
Thanks Claire, Loving your semi-permanent work in your album x
 
Thanks Angelina, Thought there must be some kind of going rate/expectation. Looking through your profile, do you get much call for spray tattoos if you don't mimd me asking please? x
 
It's usually £50 per treatment or 20%.

Don't forget that it's a two appointment procedure, so you get nothing for the clients second visit.

If I owned a salon, I would rent the room to them for X amount per hour and that way, you earn regardless. That's only fair as you could be making money from that room doing your own treatments.

The average cost of SPMU is £350 per treatment, and each one would take an average of one hour to one and a half hours.

A lot of SPMU technicians will do your make up for free so you'll be a great advertisement for them.
 
aww, thanks Jeanette....... xx
 
I hope SPMU artists won't hate me for this but it doesn't cost very much to do a treatment. The cost is almost negligable really so it has a high profit margin (more than botox and fillers if I'm being honest). So you could ask for more than £50 if you pushed it really well.

I stopped doing it as it wasn't worth my time, it takes ages to do and I found the areas that I am working in the clients were really intense shall I say.

you are correct, the profit margins are good, however, ive spent nearly £20,000 training and my prices reflect my SKILL level, so Ill be damned if im paying any more to a salon for renting a room.
There is a sort of going rate and if you were to charge more than the norm then technicians will just find a different salon to do their treatments!
£50 a treatment is more than enough...... if the salon booked a few clients in then thats a nice little earner for not much work on their part.

Many thanks Kim - as informative as ever x

Training is now available for £1000 obviously excluding equipment but I don't know how good it is though. There are further training options and workshops but they are not that expensive. You must have gone to a really expensive trainer, which is great if they are a great trainer, or have done a lot of training since you were first certified. Well done, it's nice to hear.

The way I see it and how it is viewed by salon owners who rent out to other service providers is that you are using their salon, heating, trolley, electricity, their client base and it stops them using their room. Could they make more than £50 in the time it takes to do an SPMU treatment? Probably the majority of them could.

I wouldn't worry about charging more, this reflects you and your experience. xx
 
I trained with Nouveau (karen Betts) I chose to do the gold package...... training itself came to about £12,000 including machine and some pigments....... by the time i upgraded my pigments, bought more needles, web, brochures , advertising etc... its not far off the £20,000 mark!
You get what you pay for when it comes to this kind of thing.....
I do see where you are coming from regarding the salons but for me to pay out more they would have to be getting plenty of people in for me to justify it.
Alot of salons are not that booked up so are not loosing out by me taking a room. This would only be the case if it was a majorly busy salon.

I totally agree!!! You're so right Claire prices are according to your experience and how good you are; you can find thousands of training for less the £1000 but are they good??? That's why we have to see horrible SPMU treatments
