At Hause of Nails in Round Rock, Texas, clients are greeted with a beautiful display of seasonal nail art designs.
If you struggle to fit nail designs into your schedule or are unsure of how to price them, try this handy trick. Make up four to seven designs and put them on display as your “Seasonal Spotlight” looks.
Time yourself doing each of them and charge $2 per minute. Put the pricing on the display. Then when you are rebooking your client for their next appointment, inquire if they would like to book time for one of the featured designs. Knowing how many nails they will wear it on and which design they want allows you to book it accurately and they to know how much it will be! It also will let you know if there is time in an existing appointment to add accent nails if someone puts in a request at the last minute.
