Are you raising your prices based on strategy… or just repeating what you've always been told? 

One of the biggest mistakes I see hairstylists make is increasing haircuts by $5 and color services by $10 without ever looking at whether their service menu is actually balanced. 

In this video, I'm walking you through my Price-Per-Minute Clarity Check—a simple exercise that helps uncover hidden pricing imbalances inside your service menu. 

You'll learn: 

✔️ Why most salon pricing becomes unbalanced over time 

✔️ How to calculate price per minute for every service 

✔️ Why I don't believe all services should automatically increase equally 

✔️ How to identify underpriced services without lowering prices elsewhere 

✔️ How I combine this with my supply-and-demand pricing philosophy

This isn't about random price increases. It's about building an intentional service menu that supports your income, your schedule, and the long-term sustainability of your beauty business.
