“You should charge $20 for that”
So today I had a client come in who had a little natural lash poking down into her eye, she just had her lashes done two days ago and just started feeling the poking.
So no problem, she hopped up on the table and I took care of it (ended up having to pull it out but i think it was trying to shed anyway because it didn’t hurt her when i pulled it. There really was no other choice) and she thanked me because she felt so much relief, and then left.
I told my boyfriend about it just in passing and he was like “was that a paid or free service?” And i said “free, wtf lol” and he’s like “if it were me I’d be charging $20 for that” i said that’s insane and he said that’s just good business, “don’t hate the player hate the game”.
This honestly irked me lol. I told him no one would charge for something like that and our clients most likely would not come back if we charged for petty shit like that.
So, what do you all think? Is charging to fix something like that “good business” or would you think your lash tech saying “okay that will be $20” after something like push you away?? I don’t think people would appreciate being nickeled and dimed like that.
