WHAT SHOULD YOU YOU CHARGE? IT STARTS WITH YOUR LABOR COST!
Most barbers, braiders and hair stylists price their services based on what they feel they should be paid, and that's a recipe for disaster. Pricing services is a combination of art, science and math.
What's the formula? Here's what it looks like:
- Calculate your cost. Labor, Materials, and Overhead costs should all be calculated before determining a service price.
- What are your competitors charging for similar services? If you charge more than your competition, show customers the value of the unique experience you offer.
- Determine a profit margin based on your skillset and experience.
Most of these numbers will be unique to your business, except the labor cost. Download our free guide to find out what the average wage for hair professionals are in your state:

HEY, I'M JENN!
From a very young age I've been obsessed with the hair industry, but could never do hair myself - I never felt creative enough. But I studied Economics in college and started a series of hair businesses after graduating.
It wasn't until I bought a hair salon that I realized self-employed barbers, braiders and hair stylists weren't using numbers to determine their prices.
Everyone considered themselves an artist and neglected the numbers that go along with running a profitable business.
I believe the hair industry has the ability to create massive amounts of wealth for small business owner, but you can't do that if you're not pricing your services correctly. The formula for pricing services come with a lot of unique numbers only you can determine...but everyone needs to know their market labor cost.
