Re: NailTech:: Re: Appointment Stretching

Years ago before the recession I did price my fills $10 higher for a 4- week fill. I only have 1 client that stretches it that long, so I really didn't see the need for it once the economy went bad. I don't have time in my schedule anymore to regularly book 3-week fills, so everyone has to be on a

One year I'll increase mani's and pedi's by $1-$2, then skip a year, then the next year I'll raise the nail enhancement services & gel polishes. That way all clients aren't hit by the increase all at once, yet I still get that cost of living increase. As for letting them know.I post it at my s

Re: NailTech:: Appointment Stretching

I so can relate Laura! A lot of my clients seem to stretch their appointments out for 3,4 sometimes even 5 weeks! It drives me crazy! I used to have all (wellmost) of my clients on standing appointments and now they usually make an appointment before leaving but often will call or text me

RE: NailTech:: Appointment Stretching

Hey Erick, I agree with you on the nickel and dime thing. I am thinking about this more as a deterrent. I really don't want people to go that long, I want them to come back at a reasonable time.I am already on the higher-priced end of the market so I don't think I can bump up my regular price

RE: NailTech:: Appointment Stretching

People hate being nickel and dimed. Raise your price a few bucks and you will more than make up for a few repairs. No one likes four dollars more. Repairs should always be free, but a nail tech should build it into their service price. If you have a client that needs 10 repairs every time th

Re: NailTech:: Re: Appointment Stretching

What about setting your price for a 3 to 4 week fill and giving a few dollars discount for 2 weeks. Maybe that would be less confusing. I am struggleing with this also. Maybe the answer would be a strickter cancelation policy. Jess in WA wrote: >I used to do this years ago. I ended up having

Hey gang, I'm thinking of changing my rebalance pricing to reflect the longer intervals my clients are starting to go in between appointments. I'm thinking a 2-week, 3-week and 4-week charge. Right now I only have one price. My clients currently go between 3-4 weeks successfully. I'm
