price

i use to do mobile, but got offered a job to start airbrush tanning at a medical spa. the dermatologist does all the "cosmetic injections" but estheticians do all the facials and waxing. so this will be a new service. i am a licensed esthetician so i do have an advantage to charge more, i guess. I charged 1-$75 and 2-$100. My question is: the dermatologist's hubby is the money man/business man and wanting to charge 1-$85 and 2-$130. People already spend 1,000's a month on botox, juvederm, facials, so it seems like it'd be fine to charge that much in the type of facility. what do yall think? higher, lower? good?

Re: price

He know his industry and is familiar with fees in his market.

The same statement can be made for you- you are a professional.

Together come to an agreement. I would respectfully discuss with him your thoughts and/or concerns.

If she and her husband are good leaders, they will give consideration to your opinion.

Re: price

Weren't you just on here a few weeks arguing about how mobile services were going to take over the whole industry? What happened to your mobile biz?

Re: price

lol.....nah, this place is bank, so im not worried. and i didnt mean to put the word mobile in it. what i meant was the SUNLESS is going to take over. my mobile business was awesome thats why i got offered to start up this service. no one here does it in a place or mobile, so one day when someone does, it wont even compare to our state of the art medical spa. were setting the standard for "Custom Bronzing Treatment" 's :) theres a list of 157 right now waiting for the Infinity Sun to come in. so i think ill be okay. plus my clients are jumping up and down to try out this system. people think they have to come in this place bc they are afraid to age, so its simple to get people to tan.

Re: price

we decided on the 1-$85 and 2-$130 people who we've told dont know otherwise so they are just fine with it, plus they have the money. also, it leaves a lot of room for me to still make great money and still give discounts and have specials for all the holidays etc.

Re: price

Oh, ok. I just remember you insisting that you had soo many clients and they all wanted to shell out top dollar to you because you were really offering the a "celebrity service" and giving them some kind of special treatment. I said that mobile was pointless for most and they could just as easily go somewhere and get the same if not better service. First you said you had a huge base of stay at home mom's and then it was rich college students ( cause we know there's tons of those) and now..... what do you know ..... you're working somewhere. You're all over the place or else you just exagerate.
