My mentor told me to charge more for a corrective color, and I finally did it.
For years, I undercharged for big fixes because I felt bad about the client's situation. My mentor, Sarah, who owns a salon in Portland, kept saying, 'Your skill and the extra product have real value, charge for it.' Last week, a client came in with a box dye disaster that took 4 hours and a full tube of color remover to fix. I quoted her $250 instead of my usual $150, and she paid it without a blink, thanking me for saving her hair. It changed my whole view on pricing my time correctly. Has anyone else had a tipping point that made them adjust their rates for complex services?
