I work out of my house too and run into kind of the same problem-i
felt that once i moved to my house that i should have lowered my
prices because i didnt have the overhead however surprisingly i did
not and the same people still come. I charge 25 for fills and 35 to
40 for full sets. I dont charge anything for repairs or for soakoffs
and i should. I do colored acrylic on a few and should charge more
for that too but dont. I have some two week clients and some 3 week
clients but i know the 3 weekers do it because they cant afford to
come every two weeks. One of them needs too because she always has
repairs but i really like her so i deal with it.
I now just lost my parttime job so i am comtemplating do more nails
and i feel my prices are high enough so we will see what happens.
The problem when you are in your home is you dont have the exposure.
Kelly how do you get exposure or is it just word of mouth?

Rhonda is 100% right Kelley!! Charge her for a full set at least
considering how much work and product is involved!! You may work
out of a "small" area of your home, but like Rhonda said, you are a
professional providing a professional service!!

The general rule of thumb is your fill price should be 50% of your
full set price. Your backfill should be $5-10 more than your fill
price. There should be a 2 week fill price, three week fill price
that is $5 more and anything over that is a full set.
Think about it, it takes twice the product to do a full set,
therefore it should cost twice as much as a fill. If you are doing
a 3 week fill, you are using more than a 2 week fill so it should
be more. A backfill is more product and more work than a fill so
it should be more.
I think a lot of you gals that work out of your home feel bad
charging what you are worth. You shouldn't. You are a
professional and you are providing a professional service.
Take control Kelley, the new year is a great time to start fresh!

That is crazy! I would add "Rebalance 4+ weeks" to your price
list. Since you have to take off the old stuff and reapply a new
set. (I charge the same for a removal as I do a fill.) Based on
your prices...would charge at least $40 for a Rebalance. Also, I
would raise the price of a full set if that is possible. I charge
double the price of my fill for a full set.

Ok gals
I'm tired of clients who come every 6/7 weeks with at least 3 breaks
and expect to pay my reg fill price.
how do you handle this?
I am not expensive to begin with my 2 week fill is 22 and a 3 week
fill is 25. I have always done free repairs when you come every two
weeks ( and rarely have to do any).
If I go by my price list her fill will be 25 and each repair 2 bucks
so if she has 3 repairs that is 31 and my full Sets are 30.
need advice if you have any
I am posting a new price list this week for next year. and will be
adhering to it strickly.
