Your Result - The Cheap Chair
Right then.
You're sitting on the
Cheap Chair
Your salon looks fine from the outside. The diary's busy. The work's good.
And you don't have as much left over as you should.
Your prices aren't based on your numbers.
They're based on a guess. Or what the salon down the road charges. Or what you charged two years ago and never had the bottle to change.
Without knowing what a service actually costs you to deliver, every appointment is either making you money, breaking even, or quietly costing you. And you've got no way of telling which.
Busy. Broke. Burnt out.
- You're fully booked, but your bank account doesn't reflect it
- Every price rise feels terrifying because you don't know your margins
- You can't pay yourself what you'd pay an employee
Same diary. Different bank account.
- You know exactly what each service needs to cost to be profitable
- Price rises stop being scary because the maths backs you up
- You stop discounting and start building value instead
Fill these in and your number will appear below.
That's what every hour of service work needs to earn just to break even. Anything below that, you're working for free. Or worse.
Don't know your monthly costs? That's the bigger problem. Until you know that number, you're flying blind on every single price you charge.
If this hit a nerve, don't ignore it.
Underpricing looks small until you realise it's quietly affecting everything.I've fixed this inside my own salon. I'm starting to help other salon owners do the same.
