Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to raise your eyelash extension prices while maintaining your client base.

 

1. Understand Your Value

Before making any changes, it's essential to understand and believe in the value you provide. Consider the following factors:

• Experience and Skill Level: The more experienced and skilled you are, the more justified you are in charging higher prices.

• Quality of Products: High-quality lash extensions and adhesives cost more but provide better results and safety for your clients.

• Continued Education: If you've taken advanced courses or attended workshops to improve your skills, this adds value to your services.

• Client Experience: A comfortable, clean, and pleasant salon environment enhances the overall experience for your clients.

 

2. Evaluate Market Rates

Research the rates of other lash artists in your area. Understanding the market helps you set competitive yet profitable prices. While you don’t have to match their prices exactly, knowing the range can guide you in setting a reasonable rate for your services.

 

3. Communicate Effectively

Communication is key when changing your pricing. Here’s how to do it:

• Advance Notice: Give your clients ample notice about the upcoming price change. A 30-day notice is generally appreciated.

• Transparency: Be honest about why you are increasing prices. Highlight the improvements in quality, materials, or additional services.

• Personal Touch: Send personalized messages to your regular clients explaining the changes. This shows you value them and consider their loyalty.

 

4. Highlight the Benefits

When announcing the price increase, focus on the benefits your clients will receive:

• Quality Assurance: Emphasize that the price increase allows you to continue using the best products and maintaining high standards.

• Enhanced Experience: If you’ve made any upgrades to your salon or added new amenities, let your clients know.

• Continued Education: Mention any recent training or certifications that enhance your skills.

 

5. Offer Incentives

To ease the transition, consider offering incentives:

• Loyalty Discounts: Provide a discount on their next visit or a loyalty program for long-term clients.

• Package Deals: Offer discounted packages for multiple sessions, encouraging clients to commit to future appointments at the current rate.

• Referral Bonuses: Encourage current clients to refer new clients with a discount on their next service for each referral.

 

6. Maintain High Standards

Ensure that the quality of your service remains consistent or improves. Clients are more willing to accept price increases if they continue to receive exceptional service. Focus on:

• Customer Service: Always provide a friendly, professional, and personalized experience.

• Skill Development: Regularly update your skills and stay on top of lash trends.

• Hygiene and Safety: Maintain the highest standards of cleanliness and safety in your salon.
