I stopped by a spa store in Bethlehem, PA (saucom valley mall (something like that) which offers both (facials/massafes) for a membership of $49/month for a 1 treatment a month of their choice.  I think a none menber pays $69 a shot but am unsure.  If I come across it, I'd like to share it so please add me as a friend (I don't know how to do this yet as I'm new).

Selina,

You can go to sba.gov and print off a free biz and marketing plan. Just go to the right hand side of the home page and click on "Create a Business Plan." http://www.sba.gov/

All the best,

These are great words of advice! Thank you so much! @loana christina, I'm organic in my practice so no machines required - only hand held small equipment that has very minimal cost but definitely important to consider product cost and laundering expenses. @valerie - I guess I have a lot of research to do!! Lol!

Hi Selina,

Do you know your market? Do you have a marketing plan? What is your competition in your area? These are some things to consider when putting your menu of services together. Just some food for thought. 

All the best,

Valarie Hurst

Thank you all for your great feedback! I think I will price basic at onle level, speciality at another, and charge additional for add-ons..!

My prices are different from treatment to treatment. Add-ons can be added to the original price of treatment (e.g. regular facial + add-on: aromatherapy, lips and/ or eye treatment,...) Treatment with machines such as L.E.D. radio, ultrasound, oxygen or microdermabrasion must be priced calculating the machine use, the filters, the specific gels that you use,...You need to make a benefit to, not only cover the use of products, machines, electricity and laundry. Calculations are made considering all of those things + your time + the rent (and/or taxes).

Depends

Are the distinct treatments or basically the same treatment with some upgrades -- aromatherapy, hot stones or for facials, ampoules or masques, etc.

If they are just add ons to a basic service, then price it that way

If they are distinct services -- even if the duration is the same -- list them and price them that way.

All my prices are different due to the different products used or time each treatment takes.
