❕MY OWN WORK in 2016 vs. MY OWN WORK in 2022❕ “Why do you charge more than you used to?” 1. Years of experience, practice, education. I’ve invested a lot into this skill! Think about this— would you want to work at the same job forever and never get a raise? (Probably not). This one alone should be enough! But if not— 2. Inflation! Everything is more expensive. That includes color, foils, gloves, capes, salon rent, and so much more. In order to continue to make any profit, a price raise is necessary. 3. The experience and quality of service! Custom hair color unique to you, not just like anyone else’s. Specialty color and cut techniques. Highest quality color and lightener with bond builder to keep the hair healthy. Highest quality of extensions available on the market, as well as a master certification. A menu of drinks and snack available to clients, complimentary. Robes. Hot towels. Essential Oils. Hair treatments... and so much more. When you see all of these details, you realize you cannot get all of that for $100. This is why full dimensional hair services are $300+ (other service prices vary, but just using this as a reference because it’s my most popular service). Lash sets are $200+, and you need them touched up every 2-3 weeks. Nails are $60+, and you need them touched up every 2-3 weeks. Hair? The majority of my girls see me 2-3 times a year. Some more, some less. It is an investment you wear every single day. If you come in twice a year... that’s a $.30 daily investment. If that’s not enough— Here’s some visuals of simply just the quality of work difference from 2016 to 2022. At the time I was proud of it— that’s why I have photos of it! But the difference now is SO CLEAR.
