Hello, So I love this concept and would like to start incorporating this into my salon. I'm sitting here trying to do the math we charge $34.00 for basic pedicure 1 hour, senior tech and $30.00 for other girls---- What would I charge for a mini pedicure for 30min. Please help Jacki, Homestead

Recently I came across a person who came in on a GC. She made it clear that she could not afford me. So I sold her on my mini pedi which is $25 They choose callus wk or cuticle detail( but not both)a nice slat glow and polish all for 30 mins yeh.So I explained it to her str8-"""" I would rather cultivate your business over the long run then loose you now. So I offered her my mini pedi at $25 and I said I would do as much as I could in 30 mins. (All light wk really.)She went for it and I have seen her 3 times at almost 3 wk intervals. Then she bought a GC for a mini pedi for a friend! HEELLLLLOOOOOOOAm I cutting myself short? NO! I have been pushing my mini pedis because at $25 each...it makes more sense to do 2 an hr for $50 than one at $45 riiiight! I talk them up and explain " I'll do whatever is the most important to you in a pedicure! I will say this over and over peeps-It is about perceived value! If they think they are getting more for less than it is a good deal.Once they are hooked on this idea....lock um in........"as much as you can do for $25" by pre selling them a package. Make sure you explain that ,come spring they won't be able to get all that wk for so cheap :)They will bite ..especially if they think they can't have it anymore. It is called the "Take Away".Do you have education certificates hanging on your wall? Act like you do and believe in your services and the value you bring to your clients!!!!! This is not the time to cut yourself short.ok off my box now lolPeace to your day.

I may do an add on once in a while for free, to show them, and they just don't seem to book it. Maybe I have to put a sign up and have it in their face. I'll try again, see what I can do, anything extra with this economy is a big help. I have suddenly slowed way down the past two weeks. I know its probably the pedicures have slowed down, but I am having so many people change appts. or no shows. at the last minute, its killing me.

I would love to give you a spa manicure or a parrafin dip. the exfoliation would make your hands feel so much better and the extra moisture would norish your nails. Sometimes, I even exfoliate one hand for them so they can see. Put some of the products in sight and when they ask :what is this: you can explain. Be excited about the service. Promote it.

Nice stuff, if only I could actually have someone want one, I can't even get people to do paraffin. I only have one girl once in a while do paraffin. And I live in a cold climate where hands dry out so bad they get really chapped. And still they just get regular mani's.

Has anyone used these? The almond from CND sounds like it would smell great. How much more money do you think you should add on to the original manicure? Thanks for any suggestions.
