* UNPOPULAR OPINION/ POV❕❕❕... via

❕You don’t have to raise your prices every single year, just because it seems like everyone on the internet is doing it.

If you are genuinely not profiting because you aren’t charging enough for product, rent, taxes, etc, then yes, YOU DO INDEED NEED TO RAISE YOUR PRICES.

However, if you are raising your prices simply because it’s the new year and you feel pressured by the industry to do so, I’d reconsider you “why,” and if you want to raise prices at all. 

To be clear, this message is for the stylist that are: 

•Profiting 
•In the luxury market 
•Not in business debt
•At least 80% booked consistently over an 8 week period

I often feel like a black sheep the salon owner space because I am just not money motivated. I truly never have been. I am very transparent about my pricing and I absolutely charge appropriately, but I could charge at least 25% more per service. Especially given the time, education, and RESULTS I produce in the platinum niche.

This clearly is not message on how to scale your business. This is a message for the people like me, who love the art of doing hair and somehow found yourself becoming a businesswoman in the midst of it all. 

There is one simple reason why I have a waitlist and it’s extremely hard for new clients to book with me. 

It’s because as much as I love doing hair, I love the relationships I get to build everyday even more.

I’m already a pretty damn expensive and luxury part of their budget, as is. More times than I can count I’ve been the person they told first about their pregnancy.
Their loss.
Their promotion.
Their divorce.
Their diagnosis.
Their big move.
Their first date.
Their horrible in-laws.
Their wedding.

The relationship between client and stylist is so special. 
Sure, it is transactional, and I could charge more. 

But this year I won’t.
Because I don’t need to.
Because I don’t want to.
Because I don’t have to.

I’m content and thankful for the ones who got me here. 

The hair in this reel is lorealpro Blond Studio 9 + 20 volume.
