Wedding hair call out fee?

[lisamarie83]

Hi all, I've just started out as a self employed stylist (qualified for 13yr) so abit new to all this charging my own prices! I've got afew weddings to go out and do but not sure on what to charge as a call out fee or if even to charge 1. One of the weddings I'm doing is on a bank holiday Monday aswell. I was just gona charge my usual in salon prices for the pin ups and blowdrys. Don't wanna over charge but also don't wanna be outa pocket 2. X

I charge the usual fee but I also charge an out of salon fee which is based on the amount of time it takes me to get there and back to salon as that is wasted time. I charge this at £40 an hour. My hair prices are competitive so I feel the brides are still getting value for money but I am not losing out.
