Lisa and Katrina I agree. Good points made. I follow this same approach.  It's more of a marketing tool and I still get a fair price for my services.  Consumers like to think they are getting a deal and see that what they are getting is valued at $$$$$.

In today's economy I think the majority of consumers are looking for a "special" so the idea of starting higher and offering an introductory special is a great idea.  I think you have a good point about pricing; consumer spending is difficult to predict.  Me, myself, I purchase off the sale rack 90% of the time, but the other 10% of the time, I like to purchase Nordstrom's at full price.

Gina and Lisa, I understand about the price would vary especially depending on the environment. It would be a new treatment for me as well and I'm now renting a room in a Spa (which I'm really happy about). I know one thing that concerns me is that if you make the price too low to start with, clients won't like it when you raise the price up higher. So I think I will just make it a little higher than my facials. Although I may do a special on it to introduce it as a new treatment, Would that be a good idea?

Gina - yes, the Green Tea Cleanser and the Pomegranate Cleanser may be used as eye makeup remover at home.  During my facial, I put the Pomegranate creamy cleanser on cotton rounds and place them over the eyes while I do my skin analysis.  Then, I gently remove the eye makeup with the cotton rounds.  Works great!

Pricing is tough simply because of the city/area you live in, plus the type of environment you are in (e.g., spa, resort, medical spa, etc.).  So I think prices vary greatly.  Experience matters greatly too.  If you are profitable at the price you are charging and you are comfortable with the price you charge, kudos!!!  That's the point - make a living with the business we love.

I love that we can ship product directly to our client!! I had a friend who wanted the vita-c/green tea serum who lives out of state- so I was able to order it on my card, have it shipped to her, and charge her card to my Go Payment. easy peasy!!

It's low but it's also Cincinnati, OH..... I may bump it up over time but just starting I'm trying to get people interested. It's not really a facial... but I cleanse and then do the seaweed mask to calm.

Wow Gina, $50 sounds low since Microdermabrasion services here in Cali usually cost $120 and up. Sounds like you're doing it as a facial which is what I want to do. I am currently charging $90 for my facials. Should I charge the same as a Microdermabrasion treatment or lower? I would love to hear what everyone thinks..it's so new that I can't find any salon/spas online in my area to compare the prices.

ok... another question from ever-inquisitive moi! haha  Can the SS cleansers (obviously not the glycolic or blemish) be used to remove eye makeup as well? not in the facial- but for home use?
