Re: how much do u charge...

your pricing should be based on your overhead. How many sprays do you have to do to break even (pay for solution , rent, insurance, product, your salary).

I charge $40

Re: how much do u charge...

You just need to stay competitive. See what the others in your area are charging. I get people calling me everyday asking how much a spray tan is.(Yes, my competition is calling me too) One had the nerve to call from her salon phone (I have caller ID) They will go where it is cheapest if that is all they are looking for. Every salon in my town has a MYSTIC spray booth. I couldn't even get 25$ for a spray in my brand new unit. It is too bad too, as we are all killing ourselves, but what can you do..

I don't care if I am the cheapest. I have a price and am booked solid. I explain to them that this is my full time job. I am not some minimum wage employee that does this as part of a job or a side hussle. It is what I specialize in, so I should actually charge more than I do.

Re: how much do u charge...

Thank you. For now I'm doing an 80/20 commission split for a room in a UV salon. Around here salons charge anwhere from $17 specials (see above about hourly employees) to 35. $30 seems to be my number and $40 for rapid tan. Thank you.

at the Salon I charge 30.00 for the Ultra I charge 40.00
then for the shimmer or anti-aging or Slimming drops its an additional 5.00 and of course my mobile prices are higher
