If you don't want to put a price tag on the nail art then build the price into the price of your service whether they get the art or not. And if they get more elaberate nail art then tell them there will be an additional charge for more time and more work done on each nail. Remember each nail. You are working per nail not per hand.

I have been offering nail art and other embellishments since I started doing nails (3 years in my home salon and now 2 years in my own salon) I have charged a minimal fee for some of the art that I do and the free hand nail art. However, since opening my salon I have seen an increasing number of clients that come to me and want not elaborate nails...but not just a set of P&W's either. I keep some tips that I have completed on display, and some people choose a design from there and sometimes I am expected to just pull something out of thin air (most times isn't so bad...other times my brain does not want to function that way) I was thinking that I really should be charging for these services. So how should I go about this? I want to take each of the tips and put a little price tag on it saying that it is "$X" for this design and "$X" for that one and then charge a small flat rate for others. I want to give my clients enought notice so I was thinking January 1st would be the right time. what do you think? I think the worst that could happen is that people will stop getting the art and I will be able to add another appointment or two to my schedule each day... you can give it to me straight....I can take it! I know I should have been charging all along and now that I have trained them this way it is going to be tuff to re-train them. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NailTech" group.
