[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To answer the person asking about things being affect by layoffs. yes we are. Absolutely. Businesses down about 50% and doesn’t really feel like a great time to raise prices to make up for that difference.We’ve also had to adjust hours as clients feel less secure taking time off during the day for services. I’m at work later and more in weekends than ever and seeing my family less. It’s stressful. Things will improve but it will take time. We took a huge hit during pandemic and were not quite up to pre COVID numbers. It’s challenging to work in services. You really are a bit at the whim of the market and since many of us are not employees, but 1099, renting space or working on commission, we pay all of our own benefits and don’t always have a say on setting prices. It’s a nice thing to think that we have more control on what we charge than we do. I could happily raise my prices with confidence in service- it’s not up to me - even though I’m an independent contractor. There is a price according to experience level which does help though.

[b]Tips are great. I don’t expect them, but they really do make a difference when bookings are less prevalent.[/b] [/quote]

Thank you for sharing your insight!

OP was fine to say "I want to tip, but I cannot afford to at this moment" and the stylist was wrong for rolling her eyes.  [/quote]

lol. Yeah. I cant afford a $25 tip but the $175 service is entirely doable and totally within my current limited strained budget 🤡👍[/quote]

Hey dum dum, you realize that a $25 tip on a $175 service is 14%?  If that's all that is expected then sign me up.  People in the tipping industry are expecting 20-25% nowadays.  [/quote]

You’re nice. Yes. I intentionally lowballed it. The petty folks that are digging into this can now feel vindicated in their habits. [/quote]
